Canadian megastar Drake <\/strong>is set to score his 14th NO. 1 album as a soloist with his new collaborative album ‘$ome $exy 4 U’ <\/strong><\/i>with PartyNextDoor<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

According to Chart Data, the rapper will tie the record of 14 chart-topping Billboard 200 albums set by hip hip icon Jay Z <\/strong>and Pop music megastar Taylor Swift<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

This will also put Drake just five NO. 1 albums behind the record of 19 chart-topping albums set by The Beatles<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

‘$ome $exy 4 U’ <\/strong><\/i>is Drake’s first album since his iconic beef with Kendrick Lamar <\/strong>which resulted in the hit record ‘Not Like Us’ <\/i>that became the subject of a lawsuit against Univeral Music Group<\/a>. <\/p>\n

In his petition against the label he is signed to, Drake accused the company of failing to stop the release of a song that contained injurious falsehoods about him. <\/p>\n

He also claimed UMG used bots and other unethical means to inflate the Spotify streams of the song to make it more popular than it is. <\/p>\n

2025 is expected to be a busy year for Drake who was recently announced as the highest-selling rapper of 2024 by IFPI<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The Canadian history-breaking artist is also the second best-selling artist of 2024 behind Taylor Swift<\/strong> who topped the list for the third consecutive year and fifth overall time.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

Drake is the highest-ranking rapper ahead of Eminem <\/strong>who is NO. 8 and Kendrick Lamar <\/strong>who ranks at NO. 9 and with whom he had a high profile rap beef in 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is the 10th year Drake would be in the top 10 of IFPI’s global artist ranking list. It’s also the tenth time he will be the highest-selling rapper globally.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
