Drake lands his 14th No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with 'Janice STFU'

Drake makes Hot 100 history

Drake has landed his 14th No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with "Janice STFU," which debuted at the top spot on the chart dated May 30, according to Billboard. That makes him one of only five artists in history to reach 14 or more chart-toppers on the Hot 100, and the only Canadian artist in that group.

Where he stands in the all-time ranking

With 14 No. 1s, Drake is now tied with Rihanna (Barbados) and Taylor Swift (United States). Above him sit Mariah Carey (United States, 19) and The Beatles (England, 20). The gap is significant, but so is the milestone: no other Canadian artist has come close to his tally.

In fact, Billboard notes that Drake has had nearly as many No. 1 hits as his two closest Canadian rivals combined. That kind of dominance within a single country's output is hard to overstate.

Canada's long history on the Hot 100

The story of Canadian artists atop the Hot 100 starts earlier than most people remember. Paul Anka became the first Canadian to reach No. 1 on the chart, doing so in July 1959 with "Lonely Boy." Percy Faith followed in 1960 as the second Canadian artist to top the Hot 100. Both artists also had major hits that predated the chart's launch in August 1958.

For a deeper look at Drake's full discography and chart run, the pattern is consistent: sustained commercial relevance over more than a decade, with No. 1 hits spread across different eras of his career.

A record that keeps growing

What makes Drake's achievement particularly striking is the context. The Hot 100 is a blended chart that weighs streaming, airplay, and sales. Sustaining No. 1 performance across all three metrics, repeatedly, over years, is genuinely difficult. Fourteen times is not an accident.

Whether "Janice STFU" has a long run at the top or fades quickly, the 14th No. 1 is already locked in. The question now is how many more are left.
