Drake has reached another major career milestone by becoming the first artist ever to have three different albums spend a total of 10 years on the Billboard 200 chart. According to Chart Data, the achievement officially moves Drake ahead of Michael Jackson, who previously held the record for the most albums with that level of chart longevity.

The three Drake albums that reached the milestone are Take Care, Nothing Was the Same, and Views. Each project played a major role in defining different stages of Drake’s career and helped shape the sound of hip-hop and R&B throughout the 2010s.

The record highlights Drake’s long-term popularity and the continued success of his music years after release. Fans are still heavily streaming these albums more than a decade later, showing the lasting impact of his catalog.

The milestone also arrives at a key moment in Drake’s career as he prepares to release a new project titled ICEMAN. Many fans believe the album could become one of his biggest recent releases.

With newer albums like Certified Lover Boy and For All The Dogs still performing strongly on streaming platforms, Drake could eventually extend the record even further in the future.

By surpassing Michael Jackson in this category, Drake continues to strengthen his place as one of the most commercially successful artists of his generation.
