Drake’s Historic Chart Week: How He Matched The Beatles’ 57-Year-Old Record
Drake positively dominated the Billboard charts with the release of his sixth studio album, Certified Lover Boy — but just how did he manage to match The Beatles’ 57-year-old chart record and make Billboard Hot 100 history along the way? The superstar clocks his 10th No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with the Sept. 3 release, and nine of the album’s songs debut in the top 10 on the Hot 100 — breaking his own record for the most songs in the top 10 at the same time. Plus, he has the entire top five of the chart, a feat that’s only been accomplished once previously, by none other than The Beatles in 1964.

The 46-year-old bassist/vocalist, whose mother died when he was just 14 after a three-year battle with cancer, said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “My mom was a Jesus freak.

Norm MacDonald, Former Saturday Night Live Comedian and Actor, Dies at 61
Norm MacDonald, the Canadian comedian best known as the host of Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live in the 1990s, has died at the age of 61 following a private battle with cancer. Deadline was first to report the news of MacDonald’s death. In a statement, Lori Jo Hoekstra, who Deadline reports was with MacDonald at the time of his death and his longtime producing partner, said he’d been battling cancer for a decade. “He was most proud of his comedy,” Hoekstra told Deadline. “He never wanted the diagnosis to affect the way the audience or any of his loved ones saw him. Norm was a pure comic. He once wrote that ‘a joke should catch someone by surprise, it should never pander.’ He certainly never pandered. Norm will be missed terribly.” Born on October 17, 1959 in Quebec...

No Surprise: Apple Announces New Family of iPhone 13 Smartphones, Here’s What’s New
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Apple / Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max As expected, Apple unveiled the iPhone 13 and some other new iterations of its other popular devices. The devil works hard, but Apple works harder when it comes to coming for your coins every year and trying to get people to upgrade the iPhone they more than likely just bought not even a full year ago. It’s been a successful formula for the company that Jobs built, and it’s probably going to continue with its newest flagship phone model, the iPhone 13. Owners of the iPhone 12 definitely looked at the iPhone 13 plus its Pro Models and said that’s not much change while debating with themselves, trying to determine if they want to move on to another phone. With that said, what exactly is new with Apple’s most “powerful” lineup...
