Drizzy scores all top nine spots on the Canadian Hot 100 this week. That’s a major feat, occupying 9 out of the top 10 simultaneously, though it doesn’t quite pass Taylor Swift. She holds the record for the most entries in the top 10 simultaneously, with 10 on Nov. 5, 2022, and Oct. 18, 2025. Drake did break another of Swift’s records, though, charting 17 songs in the top 20 simultaneously of this week’s Canadian Hot 100. Previously, Swift held that record, with 15 tracks. Drake has had 51 tracks in the top five and 84 tracks that have hit the top 10 —both extending his personal records. Drake has 42 out of 100 of the total chart spots on this week’s Canadian Hot 100. That’s another record, surpassing the 37 tracks that Morgan Wallen stacked on the May 31, 2025, chart, powered by his chart-topping release I’m the Problem . 40 of Drake’s songs make their debut on the chart this week, and two re-enter, setting a new record for the most charting hits in a single week.
