"Seven more songs debut from surprise album, giving Drake a record-breaking 21 entries.

Drake rules 42 percent of the 50-position Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart (dated March 7), as the hip-hop star has 21 concurrent songs on the tally -- breaking his own record for the most simultaneously charting hits in the history of the chart. (The new chart will be refreshed on Billboard's websites on Thursday, Feb. 26.)

Seven more tracks from his surprise album If You're Reading This It's Too Latedebut on the newest chart, joining the 10 already-charting cuts from the set. Thus, all 17 tracks from Drake's album are charting on the tally.

Drake Becomes First Rapper to Top Artist 100

His grand total climbs to 21 charting tracks, as he's also a featured act on four additional songs.

Drake surpasses his previous record for the most concurrently-charting songs -- 14 -- which he matched a week ago (on the chart dated Feb. 25) following the debut of his album.

The new songs enter off the strength of downloads and streaming, with every track from the set logging no less than 1.8 million U.S. streams in the week ending Feb. 22, according to Nielsen Music. Of the album's tracks, "Energy" leads the pack, taking Streaming Gainer honors and increasing by 201 percent (to 4.6 million clicks), with 82 percent stemming from Spotify plays. Sales of the cut also rise (up 21 percent to 77,000 downloads), driving it 4-1 on Rap Digital Songs -- his first No. 1 as a lead act (and fourth overall) on the still-young chart.

First of all! Congratulations to Drake and thank you to Billboard for this informative report!

I wanted to start off by saying this. anyone who has listened to my YouTube video rants about rap music, or read my blogs and comments on the internet knows I have a huge disdain for most southern rap music.

While they can't even sell mere 50,000 copies in their week in the south, Canadian Artist Drake, once again sold 500,000 copies out of the gate and went "Gold" within a single week. Yet people from Atlanta particularly, as well other places in the south keep falsely claiming, "the south runs things in hip hop!"

This is a huge lie! And the reason why J. Cole just sold 350,000 plus copies in his first week with his third studio album, "2014 Forest Hill Drive" is because Drake and J Cole have something in common.

Their both come from a mixed race background, and J. Cole was born in Germany, while Drake is from Toronto Canada.

They don't feel the pressure to be this false image of masculinity that's been sold to young full blooded so called, "black American" men!

They're not trying to be the toughest guy in the room. They're not trying to
be the biggest drug dealer, gang member, weed smoker, gun toter etc.

In other words, they're relate-able! That's what made Kanye West so big when he put out his music in 2014! The truth is, more teenagers can relate to "Jesus Walks" than they can relate to an album dedicated to shooting people in the face, selling drugs, and living in some filthy, disgusting projects!

Other than subject matter, Drake, Kanye and J. Cole show more emotions in their music than the stereotypical, contrived anger towards nonexistent enemies, and happiness for receiving a check or a blow job that so many other rappers love to embrace and regurgitate!

Don't get me wrong! Drake, Kanye West and J. Cole rap about money and women, but their is a balance there! They have other things to speak about!

They're versatile, just like Tupac, Ludacris, and Jay z! And these more relatable rappers are not scared to be vulnerable. Their not scared to express emotions or admit they cry at times, have experienced deep depression or self doubt!

And that is far more masculine that being a gun toting, drug dealing, illiterate, cooning, sell out clown and thug! Plenty of rappers are a true minstrel character from hell, and the rappers I just named want to be something more than just a mere character! They want to have character as opposed to being one!

And this is what happens when non brown people own the record companies.
But I think I'll save my unfiltered mega rant on that for later!

Congratulations to Drake! I wish you were even more successful!
With your cotton soft self! LOL!

Seriously though, we need to start pushing people who are bad for our music right out of the industry!
Their lyrics, beats, vocabulary and lack of charisma is just pathetic! Besides, who can really relate to a drug dealing coon anyway? I know I can't!

But this is my opion!
