Billboard reports that Bad Bunnyโ€™s โ€œMIA,โ€ on which Drake has a feature, debuts on the Hot 100 in the No. 5 position. This is Drakeโ€™s 12th Top 10 hit in a single year, sending him over the Beatlesโ€”who had the record with 11 Top 10 hits in 1964.

Neither the Beatles nor Drake had any holdover hits in their record-making years. All of Drakeโ€™s Top 10 hits debuted in 2018.

Last month, Drake broke another record for most weeks at No. 1 with his catchy hit โ€œIn My Feelings,โ€ the song that spawned many challenge videos from everyone including Ciara and Russell Wilson, Susan Kelechi Watson and Sterling K. Brown, and Will Smithโ€”who did the most and won the challenge by most counts.

โ€œMIAโ€ is Drakeโ€™s 32nd Top 10 song overallโ€”which is the most among solo males.

OK, Aubrey. We see you. Keep doing your thing.
