Drake earned his 72nd appearance on Billboard's Hot 100, pushing him past The Beatles as the artist with the eighth greatest number of charts visits of all-time.

Featured on his recent OVO signee iLoveMakonnen's "Tuesday," the song's number 90 entrance broke Drake's tie with The Beatles at 71. Drake will tie Aretha Franklin with another entrance on the Hot 100, and he will tie Ray Charles with just two more. Drake has a bit to go before he catches up to current tourmate and mentor Lil Wayne at 122, and a seemingly insurmountable gap to clear to reach the "Glee" cast's 207 entries.

Here are the ten artists with the most Hot 100 entries:

1. "Glee" Cast - 207
2. Elvis Presley - 149
3. Lil Wayne - 122
4. James Brown - 91
5. Jay Z - 82
6. Ray Charles - 74
7. Aretha Franklin - 73
8. Drake - 72
9. The Beatles - 71
10. Elton John - 68
