Drake beats the Beatles' 1964 record for most US Top 10 hits in a year


Drake has beaten a US chart record that stood for more than 50 years, becoming the artist with the most top 10 hits in a year.

The Beatles set the record in 1964 when their 11 hits included the chart-topping Can’t Buy Me Love and A Hard Day’s Night – but Drake has now beaten them with 12 Top 10 hits in 2018.

The latest is his guest spot on MIA by Puerto Rican pop star Bad Bunny, which is currently at No 5. The Canadian rapper’s tally includes three No 1’s – God’s Plan, Nice for What and In My Feelings – all of which also topped the UK chart. The other tracks are Nonstop, I’m Upset, Diplomatic Immunity, Emotionless, and Don’t Matter to Me (the latter featuring a posthumous Michael Jackson), plus three others as a featured artist: Lil Baby’s Yes Indeed, BlocBoy JB’s Look Alive, and Migos’ Walk It Talk It.

It’s been a record-breaking chart year for Drake, who, at 29 weeks, has also became the artist to spend the most time at No 1 in a single year, beating previous record-holder Usher. MIA is his 32nd Top 10 hit, putting him behind only Madonna (38) and the Beatles (34) in the all-time list. He is currently touring the US, following the release of his fifth studio album Scorpion earlier this year.

In his proposal, Wesson  noted that  Obama held a campaign rally at Rancho Cienega Park on Rodeo Road when running for president and that the area already has streets named after presidents, such as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.

Why Christopher Reeve's ''Superman' Is So Hard to Leave in the Past

#ChristopherReeve #Clarkkent #DCcomics #LoisLane #RichardDonner #Superman Forty years ago, Richard Donner and Christopher Reeve made a Superhero film that directors have been chasing for years, depicting who America was then — or at least who we wished to be Superman. It’s now easy to believe a man can fly. It wasn’t in 1978, but today, in midst of an explosion of superhero movies, it’s a belief we give into with relative ease. Flight is most often the bare minimum of what we expect from heroes and villains who can perform any feat limited only by the human imagination. It’s not simply special effects that permit our belief, but rather an overall acceptance that these costume-clad characters are a defining part of our culture, modern myths at their best and populist cinematic staples akin to the 20th century western at their lowest form. There have been a record nine theatrically released superhero movies based on comic books this year alone, each claiming a major piece of the glo...
