Justin Bieber Sets New Billboard Hot 100 Record, Surpasses Drake
Battle of the Canadians.
Justin Bieber has reached yet another milestone, becoming the youngest solo artist in history to receive 100 career entries on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. Bieber accomplished the feat at 27, a title Drake previously held after getting his 100th entry at age 28.
Billboard confirmed that Bieber was able to dethrone Drake with his new track “Stay” with The Kid LAROI. The song is currently No. 3 on the Billboard chart. Lil Wayne held the record prior to Drake when he reached 100 songs on the chart at age 29. Other artists that have also hit 100 songs on the charts include illustrious companies like Future, Nicki Minaj, Kanye West and JAY-Z.
Both artists show no signs of stopping as Drake is expected to drop his new mixtape anytime soon. Certified Lover Boy is reportedly being mixed as per Drake’s last announcement. Bieber has also proven that he has a lot of new projects cooking up his sleeves, consistently appearing in top collaborative tracks. It is unclear if Bieber is back in the studio to work on a new album. His most recent Justice featured top singles including “Peaches” featuring Daniel Caesar and GIVĒON.
