Drake has broken the record for the most top 10 singles in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, overtaking the previous record-holder Madonna.

The Canadian rapper and singer scored his 39th and 40th top 10 hits on this weekโ€™s countdown, as the vocalist on DJ Khaledโ€˜s singles โ€œPopstarโ€ and โ€œGreece.โ€

The feat comes just 11 years after his first appearance in the top 10, with his breakthrough hit, โ€œBest I Ever Had.โ€

Madonna had held the record since 2008, after surpassing The Beatlesโ€˜ tally.

Drake is still at the height of his popularity, so thereโ€™s no reason to believe he wonโ€™t continue to add to that 40 figure.

The rapper has stated he has a new album coming this summer, and whenever he drops a collection, thereโ€™s a very good chance it will produce at least one, if not several instant smashes.

Drake holds quite a few chart records:

Here are the current Billboard top 10 hit rankings:
