Can Drake's New Chart Records Ever Be Beat & Who Else Could Put Up These Numbers?

About this episode

Katie and Keith discuss Drake's unprecedented chart achievements and speculate on other artists who could match his success.

Drake flooded the zone when he released three new albums -- ICEMAN, HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR -- all on May 15, and now he's reaping the chart rewards, debuting in the top three slots on the Billboard 200 albums chart and landing 42 new songs on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming the first artist to surpass 400 entries on the tally. On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are discussing just how unprecedented Drake's chart stats are and whether there are any other musicians who could put up these kinds of numbers. What if Taylor Swift released three albums in one day? Or if Morgan Wallen decided to put out a triple-album next after previously holding the Hot 100 record with 37 concurrent hits? Or maybe a streaming-favorite act like Travis Scott could pull off the prolific feat? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
