Drake Breaks All Time Billboard Chart Record

Drake has broken a remarkable Billboard chart record.

With $ome $exy $ongs 4 U standout “Nokia” still in the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 after 16 weeks, the Canadian superstar has become the first artist in history to spend a combined 400 weeks in the top 10 of the chart.

The record emphasizes Drake’s chart dominance over the last decade and a half where he has had hits such as “God’s Plan”, “In My Feelings” and “First Person Shooter”.

Drake is also set to score a big win with his upcoming European tour, his first in six years.

Last week, the 6 God announced that he would be crossing the pond for an extended stay in the UK and Europe later this summer but has now added more dates due to fan interest.

As well as the four existing UK dates, Drake will now be performing two extra concerts, one each in Manchester and Birmingham.

The new dates are 23 July for Birmingham and 28 July for Manchester.

rake originally announced that he will play two back to back dates at Birmingham’s Utila Arena on July 20 and 21 before going further north to Manchester on July 25 and 26.

Drizzy will also be venturing around the rest of Europe later in the year, visiting Paris, Milan and Berlin among other cities in September.

The Canadian rapper will be assisted by frequent collaborator PartyNextDoor throughout the highly anticipated tour.

It is the first time Drake has toured the UK and Europe in six years with the announcement coming shortly after the 6 God cut short his run of concerts in New Zealand and Australia.

Drake previously revealed that he will be headlining every night of the UK’s Wireless Festival this July.

Set to take place between July 11 and 13 in London’s Finsbury Park, the 20th anniversary edition of the festival will see Drizzy put on three very different shows across the weekend.

The first performance has been confirmed to feature PARTYNEXTDOOR, so expect the setlist to heavily feature songs from their recent collaborative album $ome $exy $ongs 4 U.

Fellow R&B singer Summer Walker is also expected to join the 6 God on stage during the opening night.

The Saturday night performance is billed as “Drake & The Mandem” and is widely expected to feature appearances from a number of British rappers the 6 God has collaborated with over the years, including Skepta, Giggs, Central Cee, Dave and Headie One.

The closing show looks like it is going to have more of an Afrobeats and Dancehall flavor as it is confirmed that Drake will be joined by Burna Boy and Vybz Kartel.
