Another Week, Another Record Broken by Drake
King Aubrey just won’t quit! As “In My Feelings” logs a 10th week at No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100, Drake has now spent more weeks at No. 1 in a single year than any other artist in history — 29 weeks and, dare I say, counting. With 28 weeks at No. 1 in 2004, Usher is now the first runner up, while the Black Eyed Peas are in third place with 26 weeks in 2009.
Drake is now also the first solo artist to have at least three No. 1 hits with double-digit reigns, with “One Dance” (featuring WizKid and Kyla; 10 weeks), “God’s Plan” (11 weeks) and the current leader, “In My Feelings.” The only other act to achieve this feat is Boyz II Men, who had double-digit reigns with “End of the Road” (13 weeks), “I’ll Make Love to You” (14 weeks) and their collaboration with Mariah Carey, “One Sweet Day” (16 weeks).
Early projections indicate that Maroon 5’s “Girls Like You” (featuring Cardi B) will be No. 1 next week, and even if that does happen, I have a feeling that Drake will be back at the top of the Hot 100 before the year is over.
