Drake Shatters Records with 14th No. 1 on Billboard Canadian Hot 100 Following Iceman Release
Drake’s recent album release, Iceman, has set multiple records on the Billboard Canadian charts. Following the launch of three albums earlier this month—Iceman, Maid of Honour, and Habibti—the Toronto-born rapper has achieved unprecedented success in his home country.
This milestone coincides with Drake surpassing Michael Jackson’s record for the most No. 1 hits in the United States.
Record-Breaking Achievements
Drake’s single “Janice STFU” has secured the top position on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 as of May 30, marking his 14th No. 1 song since the chart’s inception in 2007. This achievement breaks a tie with Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift, who previously held the record for the most No. 1 songs in Canadian Hot 100 history.
In a remarkable feat, Drake occupies all top nine spots on the Canadian Hot 100 this week. While this is a significant accomplishment, it does not surpass Taylor Swift’s record of ten simultaneous entries in the top 10, achieved on November 5, 2022, and October 18, 2025.
Drake has also broken another of Swift’s records by charting 17 songs in the top 20 simultaneously, surpassing her previous record of 15 tracks.
Dominance on the Charts
Drake’s dominance extends beyond individual songs. He has achieved 51 tracks in the top five and 84 tracks that have reached the top 10, both of which extend his personal records. This week, he holds 42 out of 100 total chart spots on the Canadian Hot 100, surpassing Morgan Wallen’s previous record of 37 tracks on the May 31, 2025, chart.
Additionally, 40 of Drake’s songs have made their debut on the chart this week, with two re-entering, setting a new record for the most charting hits in a single week.
