Will Kanye West hold on to his Billboard record? The rapper dropped a bomb by changing the scenario of hip hop when he released ‘The College Dropout’. A new kind of talent had emerged, never seen before in that genre or any kind of music. Thereon, the artist never looked back on success. Now, despite his shortcomings and controversies, perhaps he will cast his spell this year as well.

The ‘Donda’ singer holds a Grammy record for being a rapper with 21 Grammys. But he also holds a record with Billboard that is unique to him among all artists. The singer is currently predicted to be dropping a song in collaboration with Fivio Foreign, but will it help him maintain that record again this year?

Kanye West first made it to the Billboard list back in 2003 with the song ‘Slow Jamz’. It has been 20 years since then, and he may enter it again this year for the 21st time. So far, the singer has had 107 entries on the list. 56 of them made it to the top 40s, with 18 in the top 10, and four of them attaining the number one position. Songs like ‘Gold Digger’, ‘N**gas in Paris’, ‘Heartless’, ‘Jesus Walks’, ‘Mercy’, etc. are some of the many songs that smoothly slipped into the list.

In recent times, the singer has not been dropping songs as much and had gone underground for months. His last album ‘Donda 2’ was released back in 2022, which may not have made big money, but was critically acclaimed by fans. Being able to maintain a record of this kind in an increasingly tough and competitive industry is no easy task, but West has swiftly pulled it off.
