Drake and 21 Savage score a momentous week on the new Nov. 19-dated Billboard Hot 100, as all 16 songs from the pair’s new collaborative album Her Loss debut in the chart’s top 40.
Her Loss launches at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with 404,000 equivalent album units earned in the Nov. 4-10 tracking week, according to Luminate. That’s the third largest one-week sum this year, after the opening weeks of Taylor Swift’s Midnights (1.578 million, Nov. 5) and Harry Styles’ Harry’s House (521,000, June 4).
The new set also tallied 513.56 million on-demand official streams for its 16 tracks in its opening week, the fourth highest single-week sum ever for an album. The biggest streaming weeks were achieved by the arrivals of Drake’s Scorpion (745.92 million, 2018), and Certified Lover Boy (743.67 million, 2021) and Swift’s Midnights (549.26 million, two weeks ago).
Drake adds his 12th Billboard 200 No. 1, the third-most after The Beatles (19) and Jay-Z (14), while 21 Savage secures his third.
Here’s a recap of all 16 tracks from Her Loss on the latest Hot 100, all of which are debuts.

No. 18, Drake & 21 Savage, “More M’s”
No. 19, Drake, “I Guess It’s Fuck Me”
No. 27, 21 Savage, “3AM on Glenwood”
(Drake has three additional hits on the latest Hot 100: “Jimmy Cooks,” featuring 21 Savage, ranks at No. 31; Future’s “Wait for U,” featuring Drake and Tems, places at No. 41; and DJ Khaled’s “Staying Alive,” featuring Drake and Lil Baby stands at No. 100. The songs debuted and peaked at Nos. 1, 1 and 5, respectively.)
Drake extends his records for the most top five Hot 100 hits (34), as well as the most top 10s (67), top 20 hits (115), top 40 hits (173), and total entries (293).
21 Savage ups his career totals to eight top five titles, 13 top 10s, 23 top 20 hits, 35 top 40 hits and 75 total entries.
Meanwhile, this is just the fourth week ever in which an artist has placed at least seven songs in the Hot 100’s top 10 simultaneously. Here’s a look at every such occurrence:
10, Taylor Swift, Nov. 5, 2022
9, Drake, Sept. 18, 2021
8, Drake, Nov. 19, 2022
7, Drake, July 14, 2018
7, 21 Savage, Nov. 19, 2022
Further, with 15 songs in the latest Hot 100’s top 20, Drake sets a new record for the most simultaneous top 20 hits. Drake tallied 14 concurrent top 20 hits on Sept. 18, 2021, concurrent with the chart start of Certified Lover Boy, and Swift matched that total two weeks ago with the chart arrival of Midnights.
Plus, Drake has now charted 40 songs on the Hot 100 in 2022 alone, tying Lil Baby for the most this year so far. 21 Savage has now, aptly, charted 21.
Taylor Swift‘s “Anti-Hero” adds a third week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, boosted by seven new remixes released between Nov. 7 and Nov. 10. Two weeks ago, the song soared in at the Hot 100’s summit, as Swift made history as the first artist to hold the survey’s entire top 10 in a single frame.
Meanwhile, Drake blasts in with eight debuts in the Hot 100’s top 10, including seven with 21 Savage, as the pair’s collaborative LP Her Loss launches at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
With Drake having claimed nine of the Hot 100’s top 10 spots on the chart for a week in September 2021 (concurrent with the chart start of his album Certified Lover Boy), he is now the only artist to have logged at least eight songs in the top 10 twice.
Plus, Drake extends his record total to 67 career Hot 100 top 10s.
The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data. All charts (dated Nov. 19, 2022) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (Nov. 15). For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.
In the Nov. 4-10 tracking week, “Anti-Hero,” released on Republic Records, tallied 51.3 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 37%), 31.1 million streams (down 13%) and 327,000 sold (up 1,793%), according to Luminate.
The single surges 4-1 on the Digital Song Sales chart; falls to No. 9 after two weeks atop Streaming Songs; and jumps 14-9 on Radio Songs (which, as previously reported, is now based on Mediabase-monitored airplay data).
Swift scores her record-extending 25th Digital Song Sales No. 1 with “Anti-Hero,” which also takes top Sales Gainer honors on the Hot 100, sparked by seven remixes made available for purchase during the tracking week. Joining the song’s previously available original and instrumental versions, its Bleachers remix (explicit and clean) arrived Nov. 7 (first in Swift’s webstore, followed by its wide release at 12 a.m. ET Nov. 8). Its Roosevelt remix was released Nov. 9 (in Swift’s webstore, followed by its wide release Nov. 10), while its Jayda G remix, Kungs remix (including its extended version) and an acoustic version were all released Nov. 10. All versions of the song were discounted to 69 cents between 2:30 p.m. ET and midnight Nov. 10 in Swift’s webstore, and between 4 p.m. ET and midnight Nov. 10 at all other retailers; all were available for wide release, except for the Kungs extended remix and acoustic version, between 10 p.m. ET and midnight Nov. 10.
The song’s sum of 327,000 paid downloads makes for the biggest sales week for a song in over five years, since Swift’s own “Look What You Made Me Do” bounded in with 353,000 (Sept. 16, 2017). “Anti-Hero,” which debuted with 13,000 sold and moved 17,000 in its second frame, logs the largest third-week sales total for a track since Adele’s “Hello” (480,000, Nov. 28, 2015, after it sold a weekly record 1.1 million downloads and 635,000 in its second week).
“Anti-Hero” concurrently becomes Swift’s 16th Radio Songs top 10, and first since “ME!,” featuring Brendon Urie (No. 7, May-June 2019).
Drake roars in with eight debuts in the Hot 100’s top 10, including seven with 21 Savage, with all from their new collaborative album Her Loss.
Here’s a recap of the eight tracks new in the Hot 100’s top 10 – all by Drake and 21 Savage unless otherwise noted:
No. 2, “Rich Flex”
No. 3, “Major Distribution”
No. 4, “On BS”
No. 5, “Spin Bout U”
No. 6, “Pussy & Millions” (feat. Travis Scott)
No. 7, “Privileged Rappers”
No. 8, “Circo Loco”
No. 9, “BackOutsideBoyz” (Drake)
The eight songs above line up in the same order, infusing Nos. 1-8, respectively, on Streaming Songs, led by “Rich Flex” with 58.9 million streams. The total is the second-highest for a song this year, just below the 59.7 million that Swift’s “Anti-Hero” drew in its first week (Nov. 5).
“Rich Flex” begins as Drake’s record-padding 15th Streaming Songs No. 1 and 21 Savage’s third.
“Rich Flex” was also the top-selling Her Loss track in its first week (2,600), while “Circo Loco” drew the most all-format radio audience of any song on the set in that span (5 million), followed by “Rich Flex” (3.1 million).
In one swoop, Drake ups his career count from 59 to 67 Hot 100 top 10s, extending his record total (dating to his first top 10, “Best I Ever Had,” in 2009) over the chart’s 64-year history.
Notably, of his 67 Hot 100 top 10s, Drake has notched a likewise-record 49 as a lead artist. (Swift has been credited as the lead artist on all 40 of her top 10s, while Madonna ranks third with 37 top 10s as a lead act, among her 38 total.)
Most Billboard Hot 100 Top 10s:
67, Drake
40, Taylor Swift
38, Madonna
34, The Beatles
32, Rihanna
30, Michael Jackson
29, Elton John
28, Mariah Carey
28, Stevie Wonder
27, Janet Jackson
26, Justin Bieber
25, Lil Wayne
25, Elvis Presley (with the start of Presley’s career having predated the Hot 100’s inception)
Meanwhile, Drake becomes the only artist to have logged at least eight songs in the Hot 100’s top 10 twice, plus as many as seven concurrent top 10s in three distinct weeks. Prior to this week’s haul of eight top 10s courtesy of Her Loss, he posted nine alongside the chart arrival of his album Certified Lover Boy in 2021 and seven as Scorpion made its chart entrance in 2018.
Also thanks to Her Loss, 21 Savage boasts the fourth-most simultaneous Hot 100 top 10s.
Most Simultaneous Hot 100 Top 10s:
10, Taylor Swift, Nov. 5, 2022
9, Drake, Sept. 18, 2021
8, Drake, Nov. 19, 2022
7, 21 Savage, Nov. 19, 2022
7, Drake, July 14, 2018
5, Juice WRLD, July 25, 2020
5, The Beatles, April 11, 1964
5, The Beatles, April 4, 1964
In the rundown above, the Hot 100 has sported six instances of acts having amassed five or more simultaneous top 10s since July 2018, after only The Beatles had achieved the feat in two distinct weeks in 1964. As streaming has ascended in prominence in recent years, the select acts above have run up such lofty totals in weeks that high-profile albums of theirs have arrived. The model contrasts with prior decades, when acts generally promoted one single at a time in the physical-only marketplace and on radio. That shift in consumption also helps explain certain acts having swelled their career top 10 totals to historic highs over relatively short spans in recent years.
21 Savage more than doubles his career Hot 100 top 10 total, from six to 13. He logged his most recent top 10 before this week as featured on Drake’s “Jimmy Cooks,” which became his second No. 1 and Drake’s 11th, and latest, leader upon its debut in July.
Thanks to his featured turn on the chart’s sixth-biggest song, Travis Scott earns his 11th Hot 100 top 10.
Meanwhile, “Rich Flex” premieres at No. 1 on both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, which use the same methodology as the Hot 100. Drake dominates the rankings with a record-extending 26th and 27th track, respectively. 21 Savage leads each list with a fourth title.
Elsewhere in the Hot 100’s top 10, Sam Smith and Kim Petras’ “Unholy” drops from No. 3 to No. 10, three weeks after it ascended to No. 1. The collaboration claims the chart’s top Airplay Gainer award for a second week, up 39% to 56.7 million impressions, as it flies 12-5 on Radio Songs. Smith notches their sixth Radio Songs top 10 and first since “Dancing With a Stranger,” with Normani, became their second No. 1 in 2019. Petras reaches the Radio Songs top 10 in her first trip to the tally.

Move over Taylor Swift, Drake and 21 Savage are the new rulers of the U.K. albums chart.

Also enjoying a top flight entry is Luke Evans’ sophomore studio LP A Song For You (BMG), new at No. 4 for the actor and singer’s first appearance in the top 5. That’s an improvement on the No. 11 peak for Evans’ 2019 debut, At Last.

Fat Of The Land peaked at No. 1 after its original release in 1997, and it’s the leader on the latest Official Vinyl Albums Chart.
Finally, Liverpool rock band Crawlers make their first impression on the Official Chart with their debut mixtape Loud Without Noise (Polydor), at No. 22, while U.K. jazz quintet Ezra Collective enjoys a first top 40 slot with Where I’m Meant To Be (Partisan), new at No. 24.

Taylor Swift’s “Anti-Hero” (via EMI) enters a third week at No. 1 on the U.K. chart, a new career-best streak for the U.S. pop superstar.

“Anti-Hero,” the first track on Swift’s 10th and latest studio album, enjoys a push thanks to a fresh cut featuring Bleachers, the project of Midnights producer Jack Antonoff.

As their collaborative collection Her Loss (OVO/Republic Records) blasts to No. 1 on the U.K. albums chart, Drake and 21 Savage make a serious dent on the singles survey.
Three tracks from the album — the maximum allowed under Official Chart rules — debut in this week’s top ten: “Rich Flex” (No. 3), “Major Distribution” (No. 5) and “Circo Loco” (No. 7).
Drake’s career tally of U.K. top 40 hits now lifts to 79, while 21 Savage’s total is eight.
Further down the list, Meghan Trainor’s viral number “Made You Look” (Epic) continues its steady climb, up 14-8. It’s the U.S. pop artist’s first appearance in the top 10 for six years, since her “Marvin Gaye” collaboration with Charlie Puth went to the top in 2015.
Venbee and Goddard enjoy a first top 10 appearance with “messy in heaven” (Columbia), up 11-9, while London rapper K-Trap (real name Devonte Kasi Martin Perkins) sees “Warm” (Thousands) heat-up following the release of a remix with Skepta. It’s up 47-18.
Also, Fredo bounces with “I’m Back” (PG), new at No. 33 for the London rapper’s 16th top 40 appearance.
Finally, Japanese-Australian singer and songwriter Joji lands two tracks in the top 40, both lifted from this third studio album Smithereens (88rising/Warner Records). “Glimpse Of Us” reenters at No. 34, and “Die For You” bows at No. 39.

Her Loss launches with 404,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Nov. 10, according to Luminate. Streaming activity drove the bulk of that sum, to the tune of 513.56 million on-demand official streams of its 16 tracks.
Her Loss is the 12th No. 1 for Drake and the third leader for 21 Savage. Drake now solely has the third-most No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 chart, since the list began publishing on a regular weekly basis in March of 1956. Ahead of him are only The Beatles, with a record 19 No. 1s and Jay-Z with 14. Drake was previously tied with Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand and Taylor Swift, each with 11 No. 1s on the Billboard 200.
Her Loss was announced on Oct. 22 and then-slated for an Oct. 28 release. On Oct. 26, its release was postponed to Nov. 4. The set was released via streaming services and as an album download via digital retailers. A physical release for the set on CD or any other format has not been announced.
The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Nov. 19, 2022-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Tuesday (Nov. 15). For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.
Of Her Loss’ 404,000 equivalent album units earned, SEA units comprise 391,000 (equaling 513.56 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks), album sales comprise 12,000 and SEA units comprise 1,000.
Biggest Week for an R&B/Hip-Hop Album in 2022: Her Loss tallies not just the largest week for any R&B/hip-hop set in 2022, but the biggest since Drake’s own Certified Lover Boy debuted at No. 1 more than a year ago, with 613,000 units on the Sept. 18, 2021-dated chart. Among all albums in 2022, Her Loss nets the third-biggest week by units earned, trailing only the No. 1 debuts of Taylor Swift’s Midnights (1.578 million; Nov. 5 chart) and Harry Styles’ Harry’s House (521,000; June 4).
Fourth-Largest Streaming Week Ever: Her Loss captures the fourth-largest streaming week ever for an album, by total on-demand official streams of its combined tracks (513.56 million). Drake owns three of the top four biggest streaming weeks, and half of the top 10 largest weeks.
The Nos. 1 and 2 biggest streaming weeks were logged by the debut frames of Drake’s Scorpion (745.92 million in 2018) and Certified Lover Boy (743.67 million, 2021), respectively. Swift’s Midnights debut is No. 3 (549.26 million, 2022) and Lil Wayne’s opening week with Tha Carter V is No. 5 (433.02 million, 2018). Nos. 6-10 are the debuts of Post Malone’s beerbongs & bentleys (431.34 million, 2018), Juice WRLD’s Legends Never Die (422.63 million, 2020) and Lil Uzi Vert’s Eternal Atake (400.42 million, 2020), the second week of Drake’s Scorpion (390.98 million, 2018) and the opening frame of Drake’s More Life (384.84 million, 2017).
A Dozen No. 1 Albums: Drake’s even dozen No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 continues to pull him closer to Jay-Z, who has the record for the most No. 1s among solo acts, with 14. The Beatles have the most No. 1s among all artists, as the Fab Four has 19 leaders. Below is a list of every act with at least 10 No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200, since the list began publishing on a regular weekly basis in March of 1956.
Most Billboard 200 No. 1s:19, The Beatles14, Jay-Z12, Drake11, Bruce Springsteen11, Barbra Streisand11, Taylor Swift10, Eminem10, Elvis Presley10, Ye (formerly known as Kanye West)
Taylor Swift’s Midnights falls to No. 2 on the latest Billboard 200 after spending its first two weeks atop the chart. The set earned 299,000 equivalent album units in the latest tracking week (down 13%). Lil Baby’s former No. 1 It’s Only Me dips 2-3 with 62,000 units (down 24%) and Bad Bunny’s chart-topping Un Verano Sin Ti slips out of the top three for the first time in its 27 chart weeks, as it shifts 3-4 with 58,000 units (down 8%).
Joji achieves his third top 10-charting effort on the Billboard 200 — all of which have debuted in the top five — as Smithereens opens at No. 5 with 57,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 39,500 (equaling 52.95 million on-demand official streams of the set’s nine tracks), album sales comprise 17,500 and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. The set was led by the hit single “Glimpse of Us,” which became the artist’s first top 10 (and top 40) hit on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 8 on the July 2-dated list.
Rounding out the new Billboard 200’s top 10 are Morgan Wallen’s chart-topping Dangerous: The Double Album (falling 5-6 with 41,000 equivalent album units earned; though up 1%), The Weeknd’s The Highlights (6-7 with 39,000; down 4%), Styles’ Harry’s House (9-8 with 30,000; down 4%), Zach Bryan’s American Heartbreak (11-9 with 28,000; up 11%) and Steve Lacy’s Gemini Rights (17-10 with 27,000; up 32% following its release on vinyl on Nov. 4).

Polyphia hits No. 1 on a Billboard rock chart for the first time with Remember That You Will Die, which crowns the Top Hard Rock Albums list dated Nov. 12.
Remember launches with 16,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Nov. 3, according to Luminate. Of that sum, 10,000 units are from album sales.
Polyphia previously peaked as high as No. 4 on Top Hard Rock Albums with 2016’s Renaissance.
Remember also begins at No. 3 on Top Alternative Albums, surpassing the No. 5 debut and peak of 2018’s New Levels New Devils. It also opens at Nos. 5 and 6 on Top Rock Albums and Top Rock & Alternative Albums, respectively, also both new bests for the band.
On the all-genre Billboard 200, Remember is Polyphia’s first top 40 album, starting at No. 33 and outperforming the No. 61 peak of Devils.
Concurrently, three songs from Remember place on Billboard’s multi-metric Hot Hard Rock Songs chart. “Ego Death,” featuring Steve Vai, leads the way at No. 18 with 759,000 official U.S. streams in the week ending Nov. 3.
The late Takeoff’s death on Nov. 1 sparked a surge of activity surrounding both his solo catalog and that of Migos, comprised of Takeoff, Quavo (his uncle) and Offset (his cousin).
The group’s song streams rallied 182.2% in the seven days after his death, while his solo material grew 434.9% in the same period, according to initial reports to Luminate. (The sums here include both official and user-generated content, the latter of which does not factor into Billboard’s charts.)
Among the chart impacts, Takeoff and Quavo’s collaborative album, Only Built for Infinity Links (released Oct. 7), rockets 84-12 on the all-genre Billboard 200 dated Nov. 12, in its fourth week on the list.
Takeoff, born Kirshnik Ball, was fatally shot on Nov. 1 in Houston at age 28. His death drew tributes from dozens of celebrities, including Beyoncé, Drake, Future, Cardi B and many other friends and musical collaborators.
Migos’ song catalog (defined as tracks where the group is the lead act) registered 56.6 million U.S. on-demand streams for Nov. 1-7, a 182.2% increase from the 20.1 million collected from Oct. 25-31. In addition, Takeoff’s solo material logged 46.4 million U.S. on-demand streams in the week after his death, compared with 8.7 million in the week prior, a swell of 434.9%.
For the latest chart tracking week, which ran Oct. 28 – Nov. 3, fans’ support through streaming in the latter half of the week leads to several gains across multiple charts. As mentioned, Only Built for Infinity Links, rallies 84-12 on the Billboard 200, with 23,000 equivalent album units, a 109% week-over-week upgrade. Streaming powers its rebound, with 32.1 million official streams of its songs in the week ending Nov. 3, up 110% from the prior week.
In addition to the Billboard 200 jump, Infinity Links leaps 40-6 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and 19-4 on the Top Rap Albums list.
Lead Links single “Hotel Lobby (Unc & Phew)” was the most streamed song of Takeoff’s solo offerings in the previous chart tracking week, with 7.5 million official U.S. streams (up 101% from the prior week). Three songs from the album — “Messy” (4.8 million, up 452%); “To the Bone,” featuring YoungBoy Never Broke Again, (4.2 million, up 41%); and “Nothing’s Changed” (3.2 million, up 78%) — were next in line, with the track “Last Memory,” from his 2018 solo effort, The Last Rocket, in fifth place, with 2.9 million clicks.
