Earlier this month a hopeful Drake mentioned on Instagram that he’s never had a Billboard number one song. A no. 1 ranking for “Hotline Bling,” which sits at no. 2 behind fellow Canadian compatriot The Weeknd’s “The Hills,” would be the greatest birthday gift to the October-born artist. With the release of Justin Bieber’s Skrillex-produced “What Do You Mean?” and Adele’s “Hello” (her first song in three years), it’s unclear what the rankings will be in the coming weeks. As a tribute to the world’s favorite Toronto rapper, HYPETRAK presents 10 of Drake’s top-ranking songs and the story behind each track.

Head over to HYPETRAK to read the editorial in full.
