Drake Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100 With ‘Janice STFU,’ Charts Single-Week Record 42 Songs - Billboard

Drake claims one of the most triumphant weeks in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, led by his “Janice STFU” debuting at No. 1. The song marks Drake’s 14th career Hot 100 leader — breaking him out of a tie with Michael Jackson for the most among solo males over the chart’s 67-year archives. Plus, Drake adds nine new Hot 100 top 10s — extending his record total career count to 90. Drake additionally charts a new single-week record 42 songs on the Hot 100 — surpassing Morgan Wallen, who charted 37 for a week last May. With 40 debuts (likewise, thus, a single-week record), he also becomes the first act ever to have accumulated more than 400 career entries on the chart. All 42 titles are from Drake’s three new albums — ICEMAN, HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR (released May 15 on OVO Sound/Republic) — which debut at Nos. 1, 2 and 3, respectively, on the Billboard 200, where he becomes the first artist to monopolize the top three simultaneously in the chart’s 70-year history. Read on for details of the entire top 10 on this week’s Hot 100. The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations. All charts dated May 30, 2026, will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, May 27 (a day later than usual due to the Memorial Day holiday in the United States May 25).

In partnership with Billboard, data deemed suspicious or unverifiable is removed, using established criteria, before final chart calculations are made and published. “Janice STFU,” from ICEMAN, arrives with 40.7 million official streams, 2.1 million radio airplay audience impressions and 3,000 sold in the U.S. May 15-21. The single launches atop the Streaming Songs chart, where it’s Drake’s record-extending 22nd No. 1, with the second-biggest streaming week of 2026, after only Bad Bunny’s “DtMF,” which drew 43 million in February, following his Super Bowl LX halftime show performance. “Janice STFU” has the highest sum for an R&B/hip-hop title in more than a year, since Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther” logged 45.2 million for a week in March 2025. “Janice STFU” also opens at No. 6 on Digital Song Sales. “Janice STFU” was the most-streamed and top-selling song among Drake’s newly-released music and fourth in radio reach. The leading title in airplay audience was, ironically, “2 Hard 4 the Radio” (6.3 million), followed by “Ran to Atlanta” (4.1 million), “Cheetah Print” (2.8 million), “Janice STFU” (2.1 million) and “Amazing Shape” (1.2 million). Concurrently, “Janice STFU” becomes Drake’s record-extending 32nd No. 1 on both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, which use the same multimetric methodology as the Hot 100. Drake is far ahead of the competition on the rankings, outpacing Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder (20 No. 1s each) on the former and Lil Wayne (12) on the latter.
