Drake continues to solidify his status as one of the most successful artists in American music history. His latest achievement sees him surpassing Mariah Carey in the number of weeks spent inside the top 10 on the Billboard 200 chart.

With his album 'For All the Dogs' climbing to No. 6 on the Billboard 200 this week, Drake has now accumulated a total of 234 weeks inside the top 10. This milestone includes all of his albums, mixtapes, and other projects, with an impressive 13 of them reaching the coveted No. 1 spot.

Previously, Drake was tied with Mariah Carey for the fifth-most weeks spent inside the top 10. However, his latest chart success has propelled him past the legendary singer, further cementing his place in music history.

While Drake's achievement is noteworthy, Taylor Swift currently holds the record for the most weeks inside the top 10 on the Billboard 200. With two of her albums, '1989 (Taylor’s Version)' and 'Lover', maintaining their positions in the top tier this week, Swift's total count now stands at an impressive 386 weeks.

Following Swift on the list of artists with the most weeks inside the top 10 are The Beatles with 382 weeks, The Rolling Stones with 309 weeks, and Barbra Streisand with 277 weeks. Swift's record-breaking feat underscores her enduring popularity and influence in the music industry.
