It's business as usual on the Billboard Hot 100 this week, which means Drake, Drake and more Drake. The rapper clinched the No. 1 spot yet again with viral Scorpion track "In My Feelings," snatching the title from his own "Nice for What," which has ruled the chart for eight nonconsecutive weeks.
Fueled by the #InMyFeelingsChallenge dance craze—which has generated more than 3.4 million tweets, according to Billboard—"In My Feelings" gives Drake his third Hot 100 No. 1 single off Scorpion behind "Nice for What" and "God's Plan," and his sixth overall. That makes him the new leader for Hot 100 No. 1 hits among rappers, passing Diddy, Eminem and Ludacris, each of whom have scored five chart-toppers.
With "In My Feelings," Drake's Scorpion also becomes the first album to score three Hot 100 chart-toppers since Justin Bieber's Purpose, which sent "What Do You Mean?," "Sorry" and "Love Yourself" to No. 1 in late 2015 and 2016. Drake is also the first artist to send three songs to the top of the Hot 100 in the same year since Katy Perry topped the chart with three Teenage Dream singles—"California Gurls," "Firework" and "Teenage Dream"—in 2010. Teenage Dream is currently tied with Michael Jackson's Bad for the most No. 1 hits off any album (five); Drake seems poised to tie that record, if not shatter it.
Drake has dominated the Hot 100 for 20 weeks of 2018. Just as "In My Feelings" dethroned "Nice for What" atop the Hot 100, "Nice for What" previously unseated "God's Plan," which ruled the chart for 11 consecutive weeks. Drake becomes the fourth artist to ever dethrone himself atop the Hot 100 with two different songs, joining the ranks of Justin Bieber, Usher and the Beatles.
"In My Feelings" also gives Drake his 40th total week atop the Hot 100, the seventh-best reign behind Mariah Carey (79 weeks), Rihanna (60), the Beatles (59), Boyz II Men (50), Usher (47) and Beyoncé (42), per Billboard. Scorpion has only been out for two weeks, and we're only halfway through 2018, so expect Drake to climb past Beyoncé—and potentially Usher—in weeks atop the Hot 100 fairly soon.
