Canadian superstar Drake this week became the solo artist with the most songs on the Billboard Hot 100 in its 58-year history.

The Toronto-born rapper’s career total hit 154 this week, beating Lil Wayne’s 135.

The new Hot 100 chart, published Tuesday, features a whopping 24 tracks by Drake — breaking his own record for having the most hits on the Hot 100 at the same time.

Only the cast of Glee has had more entries on the Hot 100 — a total of 207.

According to Billboard, Drake has charted 103 tracks as lead artist, slightly less than Elvis Presley (108).

All 22 tracks from his just-released playlist More Life are on the Hot 100, breaking the record of 18 tracks from Drake’s 2016 release Views and 18 from fellow Canadian artist The Weeknd’s Starboy.

“Passionfruit” and “Portland” debuted at No. 8 and 9 respectively, making Drake only the second artist ever — after Ed Sheeran — to have two songs debut in the Top 10 at the same time.

Drake’s playlist More Life also debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart.
