Rapper Drake almost beat The Beatles, equalling their record, which has lasted for half a century, of having 14 songs in the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time.
The US chart record was set in 1964 by The Beatles.
All 14 songs come from Drake's 17-track album If You're Reading This It's Too Late, many of them featuring collaborations with artists such as Nicki Minaj , Lil Wayne and Chris Brown on the track Only.
The New Musical Express website reported that Drake now boasts 85 Hot 100 entries, the fifth-highest number of all time.
The NME also noted that none of The Beatles' 14 tracks involved a collaborator.
