Drake’s “Laugh Now Cry Later” is a record breaker.

The song debuted at No. 2 on Billboard‘s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart but just travelled the short distance to No. 1.

“Laugh Now Cry Later” is now Drake’s 21st No. 1 song, breaking the record he previously shared with Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder.

The single, which features Lil Durk, is expected to appear on his upcoming album Certified Lover Boy, out in January 2021.

Surprisingly, it took 11 weeks for “Laugh” to reach the top, but that’s not the longest climb in Drake’s history. 2015’s “Hotline Bling” wasn’t at No. 1 until 15 weeks on the charts.
