Drake makes history by tying major chart record held by Micheal Jackson

Drake makes history as only the second male ever to have the No. 1 song and album in the country for seven weeks. He has been holding the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot 200 charts with "One Dance" and Views for seven weeks straight .

According to Yahoo News,he ties none other than Michael Jackson who was the only other male artist to accomplish the same feat back in 1983 with "Billie Jean" and Thriller. The Beatles and Whitney Houston are the only two other acts in the chart's history to ever achieve this.

Views has also achieved its own milestone as the hip-hop album with the third-most weeks at No. 1, beating out Eminem's The Marshall Mathers LP. Vanilla Ice's To the Extreme and MC Hammer's Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em are the only two albums that have spent more time at the top spot with 16 weeks and 21 weeks, respectively.
