Global music superstar Drake has made history after becoming the first artist ever to have three albums spend at least 10 years on the Billboard 200 chart.
The record breaking albums include Take Care, Nothing Was the Same, and Views, all of which have now surpassed the 520-week mark on the prestigious chart.
According to chart tracking reports, Drake surpassed the previous milestone held by legendary pop icon Michael Jackson after Views officially crossed the 10-year charting milestone. The Billboard 200 ranks the most popular albums in the United States based on sales, streaming activity, and track-equivalent albums.
Released in 2011, Take Care is widely regarded as one of Drake’s most important projects, helping redefine contemporary hip-hop and R&B with its emotional storytelling and atmospheric production. The album earned critical acclaim and featured hit songs such as “Marvins Room” and “Headlines.”
His 2013 album “Nothing Was the Same” further elevated his global dominance, delivering fan-favorite tracks like “Started From the Bottom” and “Hold On, We’re Going Home.” The project is often considered one of the strongest albums in Drake’s catalog.
Meanwhile, Views, released in 2016, became a streaming powerhouse and produced worldwide hits including “One Dance,” “Hotline Bling,” and “Controlla.” The album spent multiple weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and remains one of the defining projects of the streaming generation.
Drake’s consistency, streaming dominance, and loyal fanbase is something to be celebrated. Over the years, the Canadian rapper has continued to break several Billboard records, including most Hot 100 entries and most top 10 hits by any artist.
The latest achievement adds yet another milestone to Drake’s already historic career.
