AceShowbiz - Drake has just earned another accolade to his name. While celebrating its 20-year anniversary, Shazam has released a comprehensive list of noteworthy moments throughout its history, including the most Shazamed song by genre and the first-ever Shazamed song.
The company has also officially named Drake the most Shazamed artist of all-time. The Canadian rapper has over 350 million Shazams across his discography, including both his own tracks and those he's featured on. His most popular track is "One Dance" as it has more than 17 million Shazams.
The milestone arrived after the "In My Feelings" hitmaker celebrated the moment he officially surpassed The Beatles' record for the most top five hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Thanks to his feature on DJ Khaled's new single "Staying Alive" alongside Lil Baby, the 35-year-old rapper set the new record as it debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100.
"@djkhaled's 'Staying Alive,' featuring @Drake @lilbaby4PF, debuts at No. 5 on this week's #Hot100," a tweet on the official Billboard Charts Twitter account read. "It earns Drake his 30th career top 5 hit, passing @thebeatles for the most of all time."
The Beatles has 29 Top 5 tracks. While it took Drake 14 years to earn 30 top five hits on the chart, The Beatles hit 29 in just five years. The last track was "The Long and Winding Road", which spent two weeks at number one in 1970.
Meanwhile, it wasn't the only milestone that Drake recently reached. The "God's Plan" rapper was also named as the first star in history to reach 100 top 20 hits on the Hot 100 chart. "@Drake is the first artist in history to earn 100 top 20 hits on the #Hot100," another tweet read. Drake additionally holds the record for the most top 10 Hot 100 hits, after amassing 59.
