wait i keep forgetting they took that whole #1 away from him sksksk. he theoretically passed madge

[Johnny Jacobs]

The way Rih would've been number one on the list if she kept releasing even two years apart

[KiiKii_Muppisha]

Rihanna I will NEVER forgive you 

[Tropez]

Isn’t the list missing Elvis? He’s the male artist with the most #1s.

Most of his #1 hits were pre the Hot 100 era and were mostly in the 1950s! if we include these he has 17 #1 hits

[Avenger]

Rihanna when I catch you. 

[Stepfon]

Mariah, I will catch you for Shake It Off being #2 while We Belong Together was #1. 

[UnusualBoy]

He may end up with the most #1 overall in a couple of years since Rihanna is rihtired and Mariah is unlikely to get another #1

[magazine]

what is this world that we live in

[Dula Peep]

His quick little number 1s will never be remembered but ok...

[shoganai]

Except for Hotline Bling what has Drake done? Seriously

People forget that her number ones had slowed down a lot in her last couple of active years. There’s much more anticipation now due to the gap.

There are like 3 remembered hits on there and two of them are Rihanna’s 

[Shelter]

The songs from MJ are iconic though. Can’t say the same for Drake.

One Dance 2.7 billion total (1.1 million daily)

God’s Plan 2.3 billion (755,000)

In My Feelings 1.3 billion (220,000)

Hotline Bling 1.2 billion (338,000)

Nice for What 1.1 billion (429,000)

Toosie Slide 1 billion (225,000)

Jimmy Cooks 698 million (1 million)

Wait for U 609 million (848,000)

Way 2 Sexy 506 million (215,000)

What’s Next 351 million (131,000)

 

Work 1.2 billion (357,000)

What’s My Name 434 million (261,000)

 

What’s Next is probably his only one truly “forgotten”, those terrible stats for a 2-year old #1. Wants and Needs from the same EP has almost 700 million and 400k a day and was never officially pushed as a single.

 

But to suggest 90% of his #1s are forgotten is just ignorance. Even you will sing these songs in your sleep without trying.
