After shaking up the music industry with the modernly transparent release of his ever-changing Life Of Pablo, rap superstar Kanye West will see 2016 as a year not just where he caused his usual controversy, but one in which he broke records.
Michael Jackson has been on an infamous list for years now: having the most singles reach the coveted Billboard Top 40 charts – that is, until now. As Kanye and Schoolboy Q’s “That Part” jumped to number 40 today on that very chart, Kanye surpassed the King of Pop with his number of Top 40 appearances.
