Nicki Minaj has just broken the tie with Drake to become the rapper with the most #1 digital hits of all time. Her latest hit, the Ice Spice-led ‘Princess Diana (Remix),’ sold a whopping 77,000 copies, debuting at the top of Billboard’s Digital Song Sales chart. This marks the 14th time the Rap Queen has claimed the #1 spot on the chart, making her the rapper with the most toppers on the chart overall.
Young Money labelmates Drake and Nicki Minaj have long been known for making and breaking Billboard records. They already hold the title as the most-decorated male and female rapper in the Hot 100’s history books and have dominated Billboard’s Digital Song Sales chart as its leading male and female emcees. For a brief moment, they were even tied as the rappers with the most #1 singles in the chart’s 18-year history.
However, Nicki Minaj’s latest feat has now cemented her place as the ultimate record-holder, surpassing Drake’s record of 13 #1 digital hits. Only Rihanna (14) and Taylor Swift (25) have as many or more #1 hits among all artists.
Fans of the Rap Queen can now celebrate her latest achievement as she continues to make history and set new records in the music industry.
