Written by Feleg Tesema in Culture

Thanks to Lil Wayne's Funeral track "I Do It" ft. Big Sean and Lil Baby entering Billboard's Top 40 Hot 100 chart, Weezy now counts more Top 40 hits than Elvis Presley. Wayne now holds a total of 82 Top 40 hits to Presley's 81.

Since the album's release, Funeral counts four Top 100 charting tracks, "I Do It" entered the chart at No. 33. "Mahogany," "Mama Mia," and "Funeral" —  entered at No. 61, No. 87, and No. 88, respectively.

This news makes Wayne the second best-selling artist on the Top 40 chart. Drake, Wayne's Young Money labelmate, is currently sitting at No. 1 with 100 Top 40 songs. This brings Lil Wayne's total of Hot 100 entries to 167, which is still below — but not far behind — Drake and the cast of Glee's tied record of 207 entries.
