All three of the new songs ended up in the top three spots of the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously, which is a first in the recording industry.
Bonafide hitmaker: Drake (34) is the first artist to debut three songs simultaneously in the top three slots of the Billboard Hot 100
History: The three songs on Scary Hours 2 EP – What’s Next, Wants and Needs and Lemon Pepper Freestyle – debuted simultaneously in the top three spots of the Billboard Hot 100
The tune What’s Next stands as the cream of the new crop, appearing in the first place.
After number two follows Wants and Needs with Lil Baby, while – Lemon Pepper Freestyle – with Rick Ross now sits at number three.
Scary Hours 2, a sequel to the EP 2018, was released on March 5 to build the growing anticipation for his upcoming album, Certified Lover Boy.
While Drake now has the distinction of being the first artist to ever debut three songs simultaneously in the Hot 100’s top three at the same time, he’s not the first artist to have three songs in the top three.
The Beatles and Ariana Grande both had songs at number one, two and three at the same time.
