Charts & records

A source-dated ledger for Drake's chart achievements, certifications, and award records. Same-day 2026 projects are not counted as chart records until official chart data is published.

Charts

Chart positions need the chart name, territory, date, and whether the entry is credited to Drake as lead, feature, or group member.

Certifications

RIAA levels should be copied from the live database and dated, because catalog certifications can update years later.

Awards

Award entries stay separate from chart records so wins, nominations, and sales milestones do not blur together.
