Drake continues to make his mark on music history as we know it.
The once claimed to have more slaps than the Beatles, and by golly, he may have been onto something. Today, Drakehas made Billboard history for what feels like the seven thousandth time, becoming the second rapper ever to hold two albums in the Billboard 200 for 300 weeks. A niche record, perhaps, but a record nonetheless. Following Take Care’s smashing the 300-week milestone last December, Drizzy’s third studio album Nothing Was The Same has ficially followed suit, thus securing Drake a place at the head the table.
Upon its release in 2013, Nothing Was The Same skyrocketed to the top the charts, unsurprisingly moving hundreds thousands units. Today, the album sits at the #168th spot, a testament to the staying power Drizzy’s sound. Given that the project housed iconic tracks like “Started from the Bottom,” “Worst Behavior,” and “Hold On, We’re Going Home,” it’s no wonder that many have continued to keep NWTS on rotation.
No stranger to record-breaking in his own right, Eminem was the first to reach the milestone, with three his projects surpassing the 300-week mark: Recovery, The Eminem Show, and Curtain Call: The Hits. Given all that has since transpired, is it fair to call Drake the biggest rapper all time?
