Lil Wayne already set the record for having the most singles on Billboard’s Hot 100 and now he’s set yet another record, a Guinness World Record, that is. Weezy has set the record for having 86 singles on the Hot 100, which is the most rap singles to ever grace the charts. But he doesn’t beat out Glee who hold the overall record for having a whopping 156 songs on the Hot 100. But in all fairness, Lil Wayne will definitely be going down in hip hop history for this one.
