Lil Wayne Breaks Elvis Presley’s Billboard Hot 100 Chart Record

Lil Wayne’s meteoric rise to fame is astounding when one considers his humble beginnings as a teenaged phenom on his native New Orleans recording label Cash Money. Along with five platinum albums and four gold albums over the course of a stellar 13-year career, Lil Wayne can now add a most significant boast to his tally. According to Billboard, the Young Money captain has surpassed rock and roll icon Elvis Presley as the top solo artist of the magazine’s Hot 100 charts.

To be fair, Billboard didn’t start taking notice of the chart numbers until 1958 and Elvis certainly had hits earlier than that time period. From that first year until 2003, the singer amassed 108 placements on the charts. Still, Weezy F. Baby’s achievement is certainly noteworthy considering his status and longevity in the game. Wayne just edged Presley out at 109 – this after Game’s newest single “Celebration” featuring Chris Brown, Tyga and Wiz Khalifa debuted at #82 this week.
