Drake has a well-known reputation for setting records. Now, something different happened.

Besides setting records, he recently broke his own.

Janice STFU, a song Drizzy recently released, spent 19 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Rap Songs chart.

By doing this, it set a record on that chart for 19 weeks, surpassing his previous track, Hotline Bling.

Released in 2018, the song created a wave in pop culture and became a smash hit.

But Hotline Bling reigned at the Billboard Hot Rap Songs chart for 18 weeks until Janice STFU emerged.

Meanwhile, a recent Billboard report ranked the highest-grossing hip-hop touring acts of all time.
