Another day, another record for Drake.
With help from Bad Bunny, the Canadian MC has surpassed The Beatles for a new record on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.
Bad Bunny’s Drake-assisted hit “MIA” opens at No. 5 on the Hot 100, giving Drake his 12th top 10 of 2018. He now has the most top 10s by any act in a single year. The Beatles previously held the record with 11 in 1964.
