Drake has taken his title back — most simultaneous Hot 100 hits — from Justin Bieber.

Back in December, Justin Bieber took the title from Drake with 17 of his hits appearing on the Hot 100 list.

Drake had twice totalled 14 Hot 100 hits in 2015 with his No.1 albums If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late and What a Time to Be Alive.
