Drake is the first artist to debut three songs in the top three of the Billboard Hot 100

Drake is on the shortlist of best-selling music artists, with more than 170 million records sold.

And now the Canadian singer-songwriter has made history with the latest release of his new EP entitled Scary Hours 2.

All three new songs debuted in the top three Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously, which is a first in the recording industry.

The tune What’s Next is the cream of the crop, debuting at number one.

Wants and Needs with Lil Baby follows at number two, while – Lemon Pepper Freestyle – with Rick Ross is now at number three.

Scary Hours 2, a sequel to the 2018 EP, was released on March 5 to build growing anticipation for his upcoming album, Certified Lover Boy.

While Drake now holds the distinction of being the first artist to ever debut three songs simultaneously in the top three of the Hot 100, he is not the first artist to have three songs in the top three.

The Beatles and Ariana Grande have both had numbers one, two and three at the same time.

Drake is ranked by the Recording Industry Association Of America (RIAA) as the highest certified digital singles artist in the United States, with 142 million units based on combined sales and on-demand streams.

The four-time Grammy winner has worked hard on Certified Lover Boy, his sixth studio album.

The lead single – Laugh Now Cry Later (featuring Lil Durk) – dropped on August 14, 2020, ahead of the album’s scheduled release in January 2021, but that date was postponed.

So far, Team Drake has not announced when it will finally be available to the public.
