Can Drake’s New Chart Records Ever Be Beat & Who Else Could Put Up These Numbers?

Drake flooded the zone when he released three new albums — ICEMAN, HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR — all on May 15, and now he’s reaping the chart rewards, debuting in the top three slots on the Billboard 200 albums chart and landing 42 new songs on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming the first artist to surpass 400 entries on the tally.

On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are discussing just how unprecedented Drake’s chart stats are and whether there are any other musicians who could put up these kinds of numbers. What if Taylor Swift released three albums in one day? Or if Morgan Wallen decided to put out a triple-album next after previously holding the Hot 100 record with 37 concurrent hits? Or maybe a streaming-favorite act like Travis Scott could pull off the prolific feat?

Also on the show, BTS dominated the 2026 American Music Awards on Monday night, taking home all three awards they were nominated for, including the top prize of artist of the year. The singing voices of HUNTR/X (EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI), Sombr, KATSEYE, Sabrina Carpenter, Bruno Mars and Cardi B also took home a trio of awards, while the night’s top nominee Taylor Swift went 0-for-8 on the night. And the Black Eyed Peas — with Fergie! — hit the stage to accept the new best throwback song award. Might we be seeing more of the quartet again soon? Listen to our full AMAs recap in the episode above.
