Summary
Drake has achieved a historic chart feat by claiming nine songs in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, following his record of holding the top three albums on the Billboard 200. His song "Janice STFU" from the album Iceman interpolates Lykke Li's "I Follow Rivers," earning the Swedish singer her first-ever Hot 100 credit at #1. This marks the second time Drake has sampled Lykke Li, having previously used her track "Little Bit" on his 2009 mixtape So Far Gone.
