Since Drake dropped his debut album, Thank Me Later, in 2010, he’s enjoyed a yearly coronation more often than not: For the seventh time in the past 13 years, the superstar caps the year as Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Artist. He first achieved the rank in 2012, ran a four-peat from 2015-18, and reclaimed the MVP title last year. With seven rings, the 6 God firmly stands in a class of his own, three ahead of his nearest challenger, R. Kelly, who headed the year-end recap four times.
Unsurprisingly, Drake also repeats on the Top Rap Artists chart, which debuted last year. Beyoncé, meanwhile, rules 2022’s Top R&B Artists recap, now in its second year.

Drake traces his success this year to the endurance of his 2021 album, Certified Lover Boy and 2022 release Honestly, Nevermind. The former also wraps 2022 at No. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums recap, while the latter finishes at No. 21. Certified, which contains hits like “Way 2 Sexy,” featuring Drake and Tems, “Knife Talk,” with 21 Savage and featuring Project Pat and the Travis Scott-assisted “Fair Trade,” never fell below No. 13 on the weekly Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums recap during the chart year. Further, with its 10 weeks at No. 1 to date, it’s only Drake’s second album to reach the double-digit mark, after Take Care and its 12-week run in 2012-13.
Looking (far) ahead, Drake is already a frontrunner for his eighth title as the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Artist. His collaborative album with 21 Savage, Her Loss, was released Nov. 4 and debuted on the Nov. 19, 2022, chart date – the first week of the 2023 chart year.
Billboard’s year-end music recaps represent aggregated metrics for each artist, title, label and music contributor on the weekly charts dated Nov. 20, 2021 through Nov. 12, 2022. The rankings for Luminate-based recaps reflect equivalent album units, airplay, sales or streaming during the weeks that the titles appeared on a respective chart during the tracking year. Any activity registered before or after a title’s chart run isn’t considered in these rankings. That methodology details, and the November-November time period, account for some of the difference between these lists and the calendar-year recaps that are independently compiled by Luminate.
Harlow ‘First’ in Class: Jack Harlow’s “First Class” captures first place on the annual Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs recap and gives the 24-year-old Louisville-bred rapper his first year-end champ on the list. The single, which debuted in April and samples Fergie’s 2006 track “Glamorous,” featuring Ludacris, logged 10 weeks on top of the weekly Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and spent its first 27 weeks on the list inside the top 10.
The song’s double-digit stay also punched Harlow’s ticket into a rare club. Between “Class” and “Industry Baby,” his collaboration with Lil Nas X that spent 18 weeks on top of the list, Harlow became one of only a handful of artists with two songs that have claimed 10 or more weeks at No. 1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. “Industry Baby,” released in 2021, comes in at No. 6 on the 2022 year-end recap. Harlow and Drake are the only acts with multiple songs in the top 10 of this year’s annual Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs ranking.
Latto’s ‘Big’ Prizes: Elsewhere, Latto cashes in big on several year-end lists, including as the Top New R&B/Hip-Hop Artist. The 23-year-old rapper’s win ends a nine-year gap for a woman to lead the yearly recap, since Iggy Azalea took home top new honors in 2014. The breakout success stems from Latto’s “Big Energy” single, released in September 2021, found its stride in 2022, first by entering the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs’ top 10 in January, topping the chart for two weeks in April and remaining on the list through September, a full year since its release.
Radio support played a pivotal role in the “Big Energy” story, most notably at the rhythmic format. The single clocked 35 weeks in the top 10 of the Rhythmic Airplay chart, the second-most by any song in the chart’s 30-year existence. No surprise then, that “Energy” is the No. 1 title on Rhythmic Airplay Songs for 2022. In addition, it nabs other awards as the year’s top R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales track and Rap Digital Song Sales, while Latto herself is the Top Female Rap Artist.
“Essence” Is Radio Champ: The Afrobeats genre brings home a big prize on the year-end charts thanks to Wizkid’s “Essence,” featuring Tems, which is No. 1 on R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay Songs. Following its July release and growing buzz on TikTok, the Nigerian acts’ collaboration found quick reception on U.S. airwaves after its radio campaign began, flying to the top of the weekly R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart just eight weeks after its debut. The journey at the top, though, was longer – historically long, in fact. “Essence” clocked 27 weeks at No. 1 on the chart, a tie for the second-longest in the chart’s history, and became the first song to remain in the top 10 for an entire year.
Additional Highlights:
As noted, “Essence” wins the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay race and “Big Energy” takes the title for R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales. The genre’s streaming champ? Kodak Black’s “Super Gremlin.” It managed 13-week conquest of the R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs chart, the longest since Roddy Ricch’s “The Box” ran up 14 frames in 2020.
Future takes the crowns for No. 1 Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Artist, No. 1 Hot Rap Songs Artist and No. 1 Rap Streaming Songs Artist. One of the rapper’s best – if not the best – years of his career includes silver medals on the year-end charts for Top Rap Albums (I Never Liked You) and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs (“Wait for U,” featuring Drake and Tems).
A year after being No. 1 on Hot Rap Songwriters, Lil Baby successfully defends his title. This year, though, he ups his collection to also take the prize at No. 1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songwriters, after coming in second place in last year’s standings.
DJ Khaled turned 47 on Saturday and got quite the birthday gift from Drake in the form of multiple — yes, multiple — luxury toilets.
“@champagnepapi real talk – my Queen and I been wanting this for our house!! thank u my brother!!” the hitmaker wrote in an Instagram Reel showing off the hygienic gifts. “Nahhh this No regular toilet 🚽 this that TOTO! Same model as the ones in the embassy…I LIKE WHAT DRAKE LIKE!! Love brother!! Thank you for the gift.”
According to Khaled’s effusive commentary in the video, the Toto toilets come complete with heated seats, a UV light cleaning system, air-refreshing deodorizers, a night light, operation via remote control and a bidet function (“The water, too, that splats up!”).
“If you’ve ever been to Drake’s house, you know Drake’s house is worth, like, 500 million dollars. So yes, Toto. It’s not about the money, it’s just about, he went and got the best of the best so he gifted us a few of these Toto toilet bowls and I’m hearing…I ain’t try it yet but I’m hearing there’s some music involved too, might play some music. Nah, real talk!” he raved. “Shout-out to Toto, Drake, thank you for this gift. This is the most amazing toilet bowl I’ve ever seen in my life!”
Khaled and Drake most recently collaborated on God Did single “Staying Alive” with Lil Baby, which debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and also bounded its way to No. 1 on Billboard‘s Rhythmic Airplay, Hot Rap Songs and Streaming Songs charts in August.
Her Loss, his win.
As has become the norm, a new Drake album’s yields a monster week on Billboard’s R&B/hip-hop charts, extending multiple records already safely in the superstar’s possession and pushing him dangerously closer toward a few that still elude him.
Her Loss, a collaborative album with 21 Savage, was released on Nov. 4 via OVO Sound/Republic. The set debuts at No. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and all-genre Billboard 200 albums chart with 404,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Nov. 10, according to Luminate.
With the entry, 21 Savage obtains his third (and third consecutive) No. 1 on the list, after I Am > I Was led the list for two weeks in 2019 and Savage Mode II, with Metro Boomin, posted one week on top the following year.
Drake maintains his perfect run of 14 No. 1s among his 14 chart appearances, dating to the arrival of his first full-length album, Thank Me Later, in 2010. The achievement ties him with Jay-Z for the most No. 1s on the list among rappers, male artists and solo artists; only The Temptations, with 17 No. 1s, rank above the pair.
In the songs’ realm, “Rich Flex” leads the new recruits, as the title debuts at No. 1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. With the arrival, Drake secures his record-extending 26th champ on the list and creates more space between himself and the joint-second place holders, Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder, who each hold 20 leaders.
As Drake’s count increases, here’s the current leaderboard for most No. 1s on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs since the chart became an all-encompassing genre survey in 1958:
26, Drake20, Aretha Franklin20, Stevie Wonder17, James Brown16, Janet Jackson15, The Temptations13, Marvin Gaye13, Michael Jackson13, Usher
21 Savage, meanwhile, picks up his fourth Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs No. 1, after a 14-week stay through his featured turn on Post Malone’s “Rockstar” (2017-18), a one-week reign with “My Life,” with with J. Cole and Morray (2021) and another week in charge with his prior Drake collab, “Jimmy Cooks,” this July.
Below “Rich Flex,” Drake and 21 Savage, either together or individually, fill out the rest of the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs’ top 10 and land six more songs between Nos. 11 and 20. To recap all their Her Loss placements this week:
Position, Artist (all are Drake and 21 Savage, unless noted):No. 1, “Rich Flex”No. 2, “Major Distribution”No. 3, “On BS”No. 4, “Spin Bout U”No. 5, “Pussy & Millions,” featuring Travis ScottNo. 6, “Privileged Rappers”No. 7, “Circo Loco”No. 8, “BackOutsideBoyz” (Drake)No. 9, “Hours in Silence”No. 10, “Broke Boys”No. 12, “Treacherous Twins”No. 13, “Middle of the Ocean” (Drake)No. 14, “Jumbotron Shit Poppin” (Drake)No. 15, “More M’s”No. 16, “I Guess It’s F*ck Me” (Drake)No. 19, “3AM on Glenwood” (21 Savage)
For the second time in his career, Drake runs a full shoutout of the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs’ top 10. He previously managed the 10-for-10 on the chart dated Sept. 18, 2021, when tracks from his Certified Lover Boy album flooded the competition.
In addition to logging his 26th No. 1, the new haul pushes Drake’s already-record top 10 total to 117, and 21 Savage’s count climbs to 23 visits to the region.
Drake and 21 Savage went viral on TikTok thanks to “Rich Flex,” off their recent Billboard 200-topping joint album, Her Loss.
The song also launched at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart, and No. 2 on the Hot 100 songs chart.

Drake nabs the entire top 10 of Billboard’s Streaming Songs chart for a second time, as songs from his new collaborative album with 21 Savage, Her Loss, debut on the Nov. 19-dated ranking.
“Rich Flex” leads the pack with 58.9 million official U.S. streams earned in the Nov. 4-10 tracking week, according to Luminate.
The single-week stream count of “Flex” is the second-largest of any song in 2022, behind Taylor Swift’s “Anti-Hero,” which accumulated 59.7 million streams in its first week (Nov. 5).
“Flex” is followed by “Major Distribution” at No. 2 (47.8 million) and runs through to No. 10, “Broke Boys,” with 29.6 million.
Drake’s top 10 lockdown is the third such accomplishment in the chart’s nine-year history. He was the first to do so, grabbing the entire top 10 on the Sept. 18, 2021, list upon the release of his album Certified Lover Boy. Swift followed earlier this month following the release of Midnights.
21 Savage nearly accomplishes the feat, grabbing nine of the top 10; the No. 7 song, “BackOutsideBoyz” (35 million), is credited only to Drake.
Still, 21 Savage becomes one of just four acts to occupy at least nine of the top 10 spots on Streaming Songs in a given week. In addition to Drake and Swift’s 10-song feats, Drake earned nine on July 14, 2018 (around the release of Scorpion), while J. Cole also did so May 29, 2021 (The Off-Season).
Drake extends his record for the most top 10s in chart history, having now accumulated 83; the next closest, Lil Baby, boasts 34.
Each of the 16 songs from Her Loss reach Streaming Songs, down to the 21 Savage-only track “3AM on Glenwood” at No. 19 (16.1 million).
Concurrently, as previously reported, each of songs from Her Loss reach the multi-metric Billboard Hot 100, led by “Flex” at No. 2. The album itself starts atop the Billboard 200.
Drake was feeling a little petty with the release of the new Hot 100 tally on Monday (Nov. 14), and shared his thoughts cryptically via Instagram Stories.
The rapper shared the latest Hot 100 top 10 dated Nov. 19, 2022, in which he has eight debuts, including seven with 21 Savage, as the pair’s collaborative project Her Loss launches at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. However, the No. 1 spot remains Taylor Swift‘s “Anti-Hero” for a third week, and the No. 10 spot was taken by Sam Smith and Kim Petras‘ sultry collab, “Unholy.”

In his screenshot, Drake left “Unholy” unscathed, but covered Swift’s achievement with a series of emojis. “@21savage congrats my brother,” he captioned the post. The “Midnight Rain” superstar has yet to respond to Drizzy’s “anti-hero” moment.
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.
Two weeks ago, “Anti-Hero” 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.
Back in April, Drake sent the Internet ablaze when he posted a throwback picture with Swift on his Instagram account. The snap is the last in a five-pic carousel with the motivational message: “They too soft to understand the meaning of hard work.”
Drake and 21 Savage’s collaborative album, Her Loss, debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart (dated Nov. 19) with the year’s biggest week for an R&B/hip-hop set and the fourth-largest streaming week ever for any album.

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).

To promote the release of their freshly released joint album, Her Loss, Drake and 21 Savage went on a fake press tour — complete with a Vogue cover, NPR Tiny Desk concert and a cheeky appearance on The Howard Stern Show.

On Monday (Nov. 7), Stern himself reacted to the deepfake interview during his show, jokingly quipping, “Whenever I have to visit my mother, I wish I could do this.”
“Drake did such a good job that news outlets are reporting on it as if it’s real, and that’s sort of the weird thing about our lives now,” Stern said before playing a clip from Good Day Atlanta, in which the two reporters discussed Drizzy’s comments on settling down and marriage.
“We have enough material from all the shows we’ve done, we could do a whole show like that,” Stern said. “How great is that?”
In the very convincing deepfake, Drake let fans know the type of porn he enjoys. “Top, the highest tier of top givers,” he explains in the clip, which appeared to be resurfaced from a previous Stern interview. “That’s what I what I consistently, on a daily, tune into. Those are like the real superstars,” he adds, muffling giggles with his fellow guest.
Though he shares a son, Adonis Graham, with French artist Sophie Brussaux, Drake hasn’t settled down. “I’m sure I could, you know,” he tells Stern of getting married. “I think that eventually once all this is said and done for us, that addiction of work and success and forward movement is over, I feel we’re all going to need something real. Hopefully it’s not too late.”
He added that he usually dates four or five women at a time. “I don’t know, hopefully I’ll find somebody,” he explains. “The biggest thing is I need to be inspired.”
Watch Stern’s reaction below.
Drake and 21 Savage finally unleashed their joint album, HER LOSS, on Friday (Nov. 4) after a week’s delay, and the album did not disappoint.
The 16-track LP marks Drizzy’s second collaborative project, following his cult-favorite 2015 mixtape alongside Atlanta-made powerhouse Future, What a Time to Be Alive. HER LOSS is 21 Savage’s fourth collaborative project. He released three others alongside Metro Boomin, one of which included the Migos rapper, Offset.
The album features a mix of heated verses full of impressive bars, scathing disses and more. We want to know which of the project’s tracks tops the list for you. Let us know by voting below.

Drake threw shots at Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian on his Her Loss song, “Middle of the Ocean,” and now Ohanian is clapping back.
“Sidebar, Serena, your husband a groupie/He claim we don’t got a problem but/No, boo, it is, like you comin’ for sushi/We might pop up on ’em at will like Suzuki,” Drake, who was rumored to be dating Williams in the past, rapped on his track.
In response, Ohanian shared a sweet photo to Twitter on Friday (Nov. 4) smiling while watching the tennis superstar on the court alongside the couple’s daughter, Olympia. “The reason I stay winning is because I’m relentless about being the absolute best at whatever I do — including being the best groupie for my wife & daughter,” he captioned the post, which seems to be a direct reference to the “groupie” lyric.

Ohanian is not the only person to respond to Drake’s Her Loss jabs following the album’s release. Megan Thee Stallion called out Drake for a line from his “Circo Loco” song off the rapper’s new joint album with 21 Savage, where he suggested that the Houston rapper lied about getting shot by Tory Lanez.
“This b—h lie ’bout getting shots, but she still a stallion/ She don’t even get the joke/ But she still smiling,” Drake raps on the song, in which he doesn’t mention Meg by name. He then says, “Shorty say she graduated, she ain’t learn enough/ Play your album, track one, ‘kay, I heard enough.”
“Stop using my shooting for clout b–h ass N—-s!
