Rapper and singer
Drake
Fifteen years at the top of the charts, sorted into the songs, the writing and the albums.
No rapper has lived on the charts the way Drake has. This collection separates the numbers from the craft: the songs the world plays most, the ones where the writing is the whole point, the beats that do as much talking as he does, his biggest chart hits, and every album as this site grades it.
