For years, a recurring meme among trap music fans and/or gleeful agitators has been "Migos are better than the Beatles." Now, thanks to Atlanta rap trio's massive popularity and incredibly long new album, we can identify one way in which they're at least statistical equals to the Fab Four. Billboard reports that Migos have tied the Beatles for most simultaneous Hot 100 singles by a group, with 14. No other group has charted more than nine singles on the Hot 100 at the same time. Drake holds the record among all artists with 24 simultaneous Hot 100 singles, so by this metric I guess Drake is not only better than both Migos and the Beatles but is the greatest musical artist of all time. Stats!
