# Drake Has the Most Rap No. 1’s in Billboard History

In news that is sure to raise many eyebrows, and possibly prove the validity of an upcoming apocalypse, **Drake** now ranks as the rapper with the most No. 1’s in the history of the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

He has officially overtaken Beyonce’s hubby **Jay-Z** with a little help from **2 Chainz**. Their collaboration *No Lie* is Drizzy’s 10th No. 1 single on the Billboard chart.

While Drake is recognised by many as a guest artist, his first No. 1 single was his 2009 solo hit *Best I Ever Had*. Jigga had his first No. 1 thanks to a collabo with Mariah Carey on *Heartbreaker*.

The current ranking of most No. 1’s on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart looks like this:

Drake (10)
 Jay-Z (9)
 Lil Wayne (8)
 Kanye West (6)
 50 Cent (4)
 Ludacris (4)
 Nelly(4)
