Drake has broken a UK chart record previously held by The Beatles.
The Canadian rapper tops the UK Singles Chart this week with ‘Nice For What’, making it the second time he’s done so this year after ‘God’s Plan’.
According to a press release, the quick one-two of chart-toppers means that Drake has broken a chart record for the shortest time between UK number one debuts.
The record was previously held by The Beatles when they followed ‘Get Back’ with ‘The Ballad of John and Yoko’, the group’s final UK number one, in 1969.

Last week saw Nicki Minaj discussed the beef between Drake and Meek Mill, describing it as âone of the hardest parts of my careerâ.
Minaj, who was dating Mill at the time, discussed the period in an interview with Beats 1âs Zane Lowe. “At the time, I did love both of them,â she said. âI felt so imprisoned in that moment.â
Minaj also recalled that Drake told her, âI wasnât worried about anything in that entire situation other than what if Nicki takes a shot at me. Then what? What if Nicki spits a bar at me?â.
After calling it âone of the hardest parts of my careerâ, Minaj said she tried to persuade Mill to not get entangled in a beef, but âit was difficult to stay out of it.â âI was behind the scenes, wishing it wouldnât happen,â she explained.
âI said, âDonât do that.â I think, as artists, we all look back on things that we shouldnât have done. And that was one of those things he shouldnât have done. But he did it, and it is what it is. What I do know is that Meek and Drake have moved on from that.â
