Drake has broken the record for most No. 1 songs on Billboard’s Rap Songs with his latest chart topper “Make Me Proud.”
According to an article posted yesterday (2/3/12) at www.billboard.biz, the superstar Canuck rapper’s latest single from his smash 2011 album Take Care, has given the “Best I Ever Had” hitmaker his 11th No. 1 hit to set the new record.
“Proud,” Drizzy’s 2nd chart topping collaboration with Nicki Minaj, moved from 2nd to top spot, helping the 25-year old Toronto, ON native to surpass the previous high of 10 No. 1 songs, formally held by Diddy.
The pair previously teamed on Minaj’s hit “Moment 4 Life,” which topped the charts for 9 weeks last year.
Take Care, Drake’s follow up to his massively successful 2010 debut Thank Me Later, has ruled Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Albums for 7 weeks and sold 1.4 million copies so far.
The hip-hop heartthrob's “Club Paradise Tour” will hit 17 North American cities beginning Valentine’s Day.
The U.S. leg kicks off in Miami, FL at the Bank United Centre on Feb 14 (2/14/12), and wraps on March 11 in San Diego, before the world tour continues in the U.K.
