Thinkpiecers, rev your engines — Drake's recent album (or was it a mixtape?) If You're Reading This It's Too Late continues to buck trends in the music industry. The album has shattered all sorts of sales records, and now another interesting tidbit has surfaced: every single song from the release is on the Billboard charts.
Thanks to astronomical sales and streams, all 17 tracks from the digital release are sitting somewhere on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart.
It doesn't end there, though, as Drake's on an additional four songs that made the cut too. In other words, Drizzy comprises 42 percent of songs on the Billboard R&B and rap chart. He's really only competing with himself, and these record-breaking numbers only beat out his previous record for most songs on the chart at once.
If You're Reading This It's Too Late has sold upwards of 600,000 copies since it was released on February 13. In its first week of release, it was streamed 17.3 million times on Spotify alone.
