Drake is set to tie Taylor Swift & Jay Z's Billboard record for most #1 albums

Canadian megastar Drake is set to score his 14th NO. 1 album as a soloist with his new collaborative album '$ome $exy 4 U' with PartyNextDoor.

According to Chart Data, the rapper will tie the record of 14 chart-topping Billboard 200 albums set by hip hip icon Jay Z and Pop music megastar Taylor Swift.

This will also put Drake just five NO. 1 albums behind the record of 19 chart-topping albums set by The Beatles.

'$ome $exy 4 U' is Drake's first album since his iconic beef with Kendrick Lamar which resulted in the hit record 'Not Like Us' that became the subject of a lawsuit against Univeral Music Group.

In his petition against the label he is signed to, Drake accused the company of failing to stop the release of a song that contained injurious falsehoods about him.

He also claimed UMG used bots and other unethical means to inflate the Spotify streams of the song to make it more popular than it is.

2025 is expected to be a busy year for Drake who was recently announced as the highest-selling rapper of 2024 by IFPI.

The Canadian history-breaking artist is also the second best-selling artist of 2024 behind Taylor Swift who topped the list for the third consecutive year and fifth overall time.

Drake is the highest-ranking rapper ahead of Eminem who is NO. 8 and Kendrick Lamar who ranks at NO. 9 and with whom he had a high profile rap beef in 2024.

This is the 10th year Drake would be in the top 10 of IFPI's global artist ranking list. It's also the tenth time he will be the highest-selling rapper globally.
