Drake’s ‘Certified Lover Boy’ Makes Billboard Hot 100 History – First Album With Nine Top 10 Singles

Drake fans knew Certified Lover Boy would debut at the top of the Billboard 200 chart. What wasn’t expected is how dominant the album would be on the Billboard Hot 100.

The Toronto native’s sixth studio effort debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with an estimated 613,000 total album-equivalent units. The figure is the most for any album in 2021, besting the previous high of 309,000 total album-equivalent units by Kanye West and his Donda album.

On the Billboard Hot 100 chart, Drake managed to do something Michael Jackson or Janet Jackson could do – manage to have nine singles from a single album in the top 10 on the chart. Before Certified Lover Boy setting the mark, four albums charted seven Top 10 singles, the Jackson siblings with Thriller and Rhythm Nation 1814, Bruce Springsteen‘s Born In The U.S.A. and Drake’s Scorpion.

Beginning with “Way 2 Sexy” with Future and Young Thug at No. 1, the 6 God logged all Top 5 positions on the Hot 100, the first for a solo artist and the first act in music since The Beatles in 1964. He and Ariana Grande are the only acts to have five No. 1 debuts on the Hot 100 chart.

Here’s a breakdown of the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
