Drake is coming for the crown. The Toronto rapper has now tied Michael Jackson with 13 No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. Drake's 13th chart-topper is "First Person Shooter" off of his latest album For All The Dogs. While the feat is monumental for Drake, it also marked J. Cole's first No. 1 hit as the feature on the record.

Drake has always been known for his antics and posted a photoshopped image on Instagram of Michael Jackson. In the photo, the King of Pop is wearing an OVO sweatshirt and taking a mirror selfie. He also shared on his Instagram Story, where he made a correction to Billboards' record claim. He wrote that they didn't account for his feature on Travis Scott's "SICKO MODE." However, according to Billboard, the publication is aware of "SICKO MODE" as a top charter. It claims that he wasn't "officially credited on the track" so it doesn't count. This is also the case for Young Money’s “Every Girl” (No. 10 peak in 2009) and “Bedrock” (No. 2 peak in 2010) as they, too, do not count as metrics in his career total. It is also worth mentioning that they are tied for the solo male No. 1 record as the female record has Mariah Carey with 19 No. 1 singles to date. The Beatles have the most with 20 No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100.
