Drake Earns First Solo #1 With ‘One Dance’ / Rihanna Rockets Into Top 10

Published: Monday 9th May 2016 by Sam

Drake has done it. Finally.

The chart-titan has birthed many a Billboard hit, yet elusive has been the coveted #1 spot on the US Hot 100.

However, that all changed moments ago when it was revealed that the rapper has hit the top with his global smash ‘One Dance.’

Details below…

The track, which features Nigerian superstar Wizkid and Brit singer Kyla, jumped #2-#1 on today’s tally – marking the first time Drizzy has achieved the feat as a lead artist.

‘Dance’s rise was aided by the release of its chart-topping housing album ‘VIEWS’ – which easily hit #1 on the Billboard 200 after opening with total sales of 1.04 million.

The song itself earned 160,000 individual downloads in the week ending May 5th; already a streaming force, the track’s on-demand plays in the US grew a huge 41% to 37.4 million.

Prior to now, Drake has enjoyed two stints atop of the Hot 100 – on each occasion as a featured act on a Rihanna single (2010’s ‘What’s My Name’ and this year’s ‘Work’).

As for Rih, this week re-affirms her power on the (singles) chart.

‘This Is What You Came For,’ her collaboration with Calvin Harris, debuted at #9 – powered by colossal streaming (7.8 million) and impressive sales (123,000).

Stay tuned for a robust look at this week’s tally in our upcoming Chart Check.

    • Check DAT May 9, 2016

      I. AM. SCREAMING at Formation falling to #19 AND not Rihanna blocking Sorry from entering the Top 10!!! ??????????

      • Keri Qween May 9, 2016

        Not Formation FREE FALLING and Queen Rihanna blocking Yonces official single “Sorry” from top 10 ! Death!!!

    • Fancy BISH May 9, 2016

      Well damn Rih! Homegirl straight SNATCHED my last good wig lol…she blocked Sorry! I need some better glue! Congrats Drake and Rih! But I’m bald tho…lol

    • Adrihanna May 9, 2016

      Yup, Rihanna is the Anti-Queen Bey. While Beyonce is holding down album sales and critical acclaim, little miss Island girl is just driving in her own lane and still killing it. Congrats to both of them TBH.

      • rosy3 May 9, 2016

        You mean drake holding down album sales and rih singles

  2. HailBeysus May 9, 2016

    SCREAMING TELL ME HE DIDN’T HELP WORK CHART ?????????????????
    .
    CONGRATS DRAKE!!!!

    • Molly May 9, 2016

      Where did Mine chart again?

      • HailBeysus May 9, 2016

        Kiii Mine was never released nor pushed as a single and Drakes relevance is at an all time high now. He was the most streamed artists of 2015 and 2016 shows him pushing albums like he’s never did before. So try again b****!

      • Rihboy May 9, 2016

        Exactly!? Or can I flop?! Rihanna does this! Isk why they throw shade in categories bey is obviously a repellent too! I thought that this is what you came for was going to flop slayhive ?! No according to statistics Rihanna helped drake chart with work! Now my second favorite song one dance is at number 1!!!! I need them to become a couple! I smell danger for a certain arranged marriage???! Bey on block like s***! I can’t stop the tears!

      • Molly May 9, 2016

        I stopped reading after the first excuse. Come harder b****

      • rosy3 May 9, 2016

        I told molly mine did not even make it to the bubbling under charts that’s how pathetic the song was and that song she has with Chris bey team up with other artist can’t even get her a number one why is that hives

    • Maurice May 9, 2016

      Pray you Catch Me is sitting at #98 on iTunes sweetie, although, I low key do love that song.

    • Nigeria loves rihanna May 9, 2016

      Mine didn’t even chart on bubbling under hot 100 like other thrashyonce song. Beyonce is a legend of bubbling under hot 100.Lmao

    • Rihboy May 9, 2016

      The excuses! An album seller should be able to sell singles as well?? single success shows the masses love for a particular song on the album. The fact bey hasn’t had a number one song in forever shows that it’s all hype!

      • HailBeysus May 9, 2016

        @Vagisal Cream 2.0 KIII you read it and left a simple reply because you were clocked.
        .
        @RihBoy gurrrl hush! I done already scalped you in the last post! Lets not get greedy today okay!

      • Rihboy May 9, 2016

        It’s funny when someone claims to scalp you yet my edges are in tact! Without a hair out of place! Provide receipts

      • HailBeysus May 9, 2016

        Honey don’t act like that scalping didn’t take place 2hrs ago where you constantly changed subjects to try and keep up lol!

      • Rihboy May 9, 2016

        I honestly don’t know what you are talking about! You might feel like you scalped someone. I find it outrageously funny that you feel that accomplished ???

      • Queen Ci May 9, 2016

        HailBeysus is getting draaaaaaaaaagged for the GAWDS…again! The thirsty throws more shade that her tree can cover. LOL

      • Shade May 10, 2016

        That’s why Bey always has to release her whole album with visuals and everything, because she knows if she releases a single before hand she stands the chance of flopping. Her music is not that hot overall. That’s why she has to overcompensate with the dancing. Without that she’s nothing.

    • rosy3 May 9, 2016

      I see you still coming for rih congrats Rihanna who is also giving scholarships to kids to go to college she is truly a child of God and people always hate while this woman stay quiet keep winning giving back to her community and not use her people to make money

  3. Molly May 9, 2016

    Death when will Onika?

    • Queen Ci May 9, 2016

      2000 and never…lol

    • Queen Ci May 9, 2016

      Nicki charted over 50 singles and not one hit #1??? Chiiiiile…lol

  4. Slayage May 9, 2016

    Work: #6

    This is what you came for: #9

    Needed Me: #13

    SLAYAGE. Three songs in the top 15.

    • Molly May 9, 2016

      Im glad im navy now. Ciara could never.

      • Queen Ci May 9, 2016

        Yet after eight albums, Rihanna can’t get a triple platinum album even with an extended version and Samsung-bought units. Don’t do it, Cynthia Bailey.

    • Rihboy May 9, 2016

      Ki!!!! Yess and her album been out since late January !!

      • Rory May 9, 2016

        And Bey’s last number one song was in 2008… LOL!!!!

    #BlockedBey

    • Molly May 9, 2016

      As he should

  6. Coolness May 9, 2016

    So happy for Drake! Good things come to those who wait and I’m happy he can finally say he has a number #1 single as a lead artist. He came SO CLOSE with Hotline Bling but Adele snatched that opportunity from him real quick with Hello. Seems Needed Me is also making some gains on the charts too. I didn’t really like the song initially but it really grew on me. #JusticeforKissItBetter though, lol.

  7. The Kpop Guy, Matt~ May 9, 2016

    Drake has a #1 this decade. When will bey?

    • Molly May 9, 2016

      Ultimate death

  9. Rosie May 9, 2016

    Congrats to Drake. Hotline Bling deserved it more though, felt wayyyy bigger than One Dance.

  10. Nigeria loves rihanna May 9, 2016

    Only king Drake & queen Rihanna can, when will gayz & thrashyonce? Hahaha

    • Rosie May 9, 2016

      “Queen” of what? Just now selling 400K after a nine week #1? Lying about “sold out” tour dates?

      • rosy3 May 9, 2016

        B**** why you using my name rosie get your fake ass off here

      • Rihboy May 9, 2016

        Honey riaa! Certified! You guys can stay mad! The digital queen slays your faves without doing the most! Using divorce gimmic a and the serious matter of black lives too sell an album. Beyoncé ain’t nothing but hype. A ghetto country bookie making money off of illiterate consumers as herself! Please stop! My fave is giving back, and had several endorsements on and popping right now.,fenty beauty coming soon too all areas! Stance socks, Manolo, her new movie, fragrances that actually well and more! While your fave tries and fails at selling a Nike rip off of sportswear surrounding a flop and borrowed album! Stay in your lane. Finally the masses are starting to understand that she isn’t anything but a fraud.

      • Rihboy May 9, 2016

        Girl bye! One million downloaded. That’s all we need to know. Whether or not they were free it was for a deal! What don’t you guys get? It’s still considered 1.4 million. Meaning 1.4 million wanted the album. Plus the streaming added to it makes it double plat. It’s really not that hard.

      • Nigeria loves rihanna May 9, 2016

        Queen of everything except bubbling under Hot 100 cos Beyonce is already a queen of bubbling under hot 100. Hahahaha

      • Rosie May 9, 2016

        Still using those “1 million downloads” excuse lmao.
        Only 399K paid for the album, and that’s all Billboard counts as actual sales.

      • Rihboy May 9, 2016

        Oh boo! Stay mad! It’s just not beyonces year ! It’s ok she still got a joint album supposedly in the works with the man she claims is cheating on her.

      • Keri Qween May 9, 2016

        Selling 400k AFTER giving away a million copies

        Have several seats Roseanne

        Honeymoon stalled at 300k and you disappeared when it flopped , yet you come back like a rabies dog foaming at the mouth more worried about RIH than your own fave

      • Rosie May 9, 2016

        blah blah blah 399K SOLD. The end.
        If Bey incorporating social justice into her music is a gimmick then what is Anti? This fake deep ass “timeless” music that won’t make any year-end lists when it’s all said and done and is selling 14K a week with a single that was #1 for two months. It bombed for her standards.
        And death at the Keri thing running back to my reply box, is it busy booking her local ATL Jack In The Box for her upcoming tour? Assuming it’s coming since her album has been on hold for six years.

  11. Nigeria loves rihanna May 9, 2016

    Y’all BeeHIV should give ur fave a nos1 it’s been 8yrs now. Obama will soon leave office & thrashyonce won’t get a hit.

    • Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) May 9, 2016

      The Navy should have bought more than 460 copies of cAnti.
      But I’m sleep though…..

    • Rosie May 9, 2016

      Nigeria should give you a better education before Boro Hakam blows your local shanty school up, looking at the literacy level shown in this comment.

      • HailBeysus May 9, 2016

        DEATH!!!!

      • Nigeria loves rihanna May 9, 2016

        I don’t need education to drag BubblingunderHot100yonce, hahahaha

      • Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) May 9, 2016

        Boko Haram?#TryAgainBoo Not you talking about education when…’Boro Hakam’.Also death at the HIVe dying at that failed attempt..hehe #Clocked

  12. What Now May 9, 2016

    Congrats Drizzy. I had zero idea that he would have this kind of longevity and success. Hotline Bling should have been a #1, but no artist can overcome the machine of Adele.

  13. Nigeria loves rihanna May 9, 2016

    BubblingunderHot100yonce!!!

  14. Slay_Hive May 9, 2016

    Thank god rihanna has the singles chart. Lmaoooo. She should just release individual singles instead of albums from now on.

    • HailBeysus May 9, 2016

      Kiii she’ll be giving JLo tease in 6yrs time Minus the Dancing. She’ll just be a pretty face showing up at events. Unless the drugs start taking their tow lol!

      • Shade May 10, 2016

        Why? When she’s the best-selling black female artist of all time, second only to Madonna. She killing the game on all platforms.

  15. Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) May 9, 2016

    Lemonade, Views >>>> cAnti

  16. The Kpop Guy, Matt~ May 9, 2016

    Since the release of 2013’s self titled Pornogràphy and Lemon Water:

    1) drake has a number 1
    2) justin bieber get 2 number 1s
    3) Gaga wins a Grammy for jazz
    4) rihanna gets her #1 with work
    5) rihanna goes double platinum

    By the time beys next album comes out, Katy Perry would have finally won her first Grammy and nicki her first #1 on billboard

    LMFAO

    • HailBeysus May 9, 2016

      The Fact Queen Bey has expectations from y’all to compete with 2 Generations of Music acts that came after her says it all! Everyone wants to sit on her thrown!

      • Rihboy May 9, 2016

        She shouldn’t have to compete!??? she is the top notch right!? She is better than everyone? No? ?

      • rosy3 May 9, 2016

        Beyonce cannot read or write to put a song together that makes sense her audience is teenage baby mothers dropped out of school on welfare in section A wearing house of Dereon from the dollar store k mart refused to carry that line not even Walmart wanted it and the song formation cannot be compare to a marvin gaye whats going on Beyonce sings about having s** with her big lip husband in red lobster as a black anthem and yall eat it up tragic within itself disrespectful to young black women and men

    • Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) May 9, 2016

      • Rihboy May 9, 2016

        That’s besides the point! Self titled was still a soft p***. From the choreography right down. She didn’t have to be completely naked! Partition she was a hooker. Full on. Drunk in love she was a wasted s*** on a beach !!! She ain’t no better!

      • Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) May 9, 2016

  26. Rosie May 9, 2016

    Next single should be Controlla. He should keep Too Good for the fall. Either way, the “boxer braids” having, baseball cap-with-nudes-and-forest green bomber jacket-wearing Instathots will eat his music up regardless. It’s obvious he’s now trying to steal that demographic back from Bryson Tiller with the way Views turned out.

    A Moon Shaped Pool (Radiohead’s album) is very good.

    • S****** Blonde May 9, 2016

      I love the new album, this is a return to form for Radiohead IMO ?

      • Rosie May 9, 2016

        It really is.
        Would rank it 4th/5th in their discography rn (Kid A, In Rainbows, OK Computer is my top 3. All 11/10s).

      As spoof thing is so focused on head empress of the navy. Rather than her own. Guess that’s why she is sliding off the charts?

  29. B_Roni May 9, 2016

    Damn rih… If needed me goes #1…… But the video hasn’t even come out for this is what you came for and its number 9. She got 4 songs on the hot 100. No one can beat this girl selling singles. She is growing and maturing. So many endorsements. I can honestly say I never thought her or bey would be this big. I use to think Amerie was gonna beat Beyonce and teairra Mari was gonna beat Rihanna but I was so wrong.

    • La Perra May 9, 2016

      Omg! I thought Amerie and Tierra Marie were going to be break out stars too.

      • Keri Qween May 9, 2016

        Seetheeeee!

        Rihanna Hot 100 queen.
        Drake current billboard 200 King
        He will sell a million copies before Sugar water that’s for sure
        And he has 20 songs on Hot 100 by the way. The hive++ thought 12 singles were impressive kiiii. not when they’re all FREE FALLING especially Formation ?

      • No favs, just here for the music May 9, 2016

        @career ender. I’m sorry but no you sound delusional as hell. Drake sold 850K in his first week alone and is guaranteed to go platinum in the US by his 2nd week sales. That alone is a great feat regardless of all the other details. I love Beyonce too but to call Drake a ‘flop on the low?’ (whatever that means) just because of the sales decrease is crazy. No need to try and pull him down to bring Beyonce up because they’re both killing it tbh and there’s enough room for all to slay on the charts.

    Out of curiosity, the majority of TGJ commentators are from either the UK or the US, right?

    • The Kpop Guy, Matt~ May 9, 2016

      Yes, when I started on here in 2013 I was from the UK. I moved since then

      • S****** Blonde May 9, 2016

        Where do you live now?

      • The Kpop Guy, Matt~ May 9, 2016

        Cape Town.
        Triple majoring in Media, Psychology and Anthropology at UCT.

        My Asian is at 70% and thus me not doing commerce looool

      • S****** Blonde May 9, 2016

        I love anthropology, I feel like I should say something about me too ?

      • The Kpop Guy, Matt~ May 9, 2016

        Lol say something.

        I took Anthro because of my love for travel, traveling brought me to Cape Town and hence I decided to stay.
        So I am not going the Media or psychology route, I may as well get paid to travel and learn about different people.

      • S****** Blonde May 9, 2016

        Well, I’m Swedish by ethnicity, raised in New York, I moved to Stockholm a couple of months ago, I was undecided about what place to go since my mom lives in Italy, so it was either Sweden or Italy, so of course Scandinavia ?????? was my choice.

      • The Kpop Guy, Matt~ May 9, 2016

        That’s actually really interesting. I was born in Yuma AZ and moved to South Korea with my family till the was 5 so I could have a Korean Up Bringing and then we all moved to the UK permanently. My parents are still there but I am studying abroad. I went back for the December break

      • S****** Blonde May 9, 2016

        Well, I was raised in a very European house, so like you I didn’t lose my culture, like my parents make sure that I learned Swedish as a first language, although 90% of swedes speak perfect English, at home we used to speak Swedish (I live alone since I turned 18) I also learned others Nordic languages which are mutually intelligible.

      • The Kpop Guy, Matt~ May 9, 2016

        It’s actually really stimulating to “meet” an educated and cultured person on a blog. Speak swedish on here some time? Haha.
        I speak the Urban dialect of Korean as my second language, ENGERISH is my first and I can speak a bit of the local language of Afrikaans here. It’s li , mixture of Dutch and German

      • S****** Blonde May 9, 2016

        I was just thinking about it in the kii’sh way but, I will still never go there.

      • S****** Blonde May 9, 2016

        When I heard about that she was going to tribute him, I immediately knew that it was going to be a circus and she didn’t disappoint me. I think it was just another way to promote herself, all she did was a mockery of his alter egos, you can tell she didn’t know who David Bowie (the performer) was, of course her fans see it as something spectacular, but real David Bowie fans were really upset about it, and the tattoo was just the end for me, she’s such a disrespectful person, she changes idol every three months, one day it was Madonna who changed her life, the next it was Whitney, for now is Bowie, for now.

    lol the problem with beyonces lemon flavored water is that its over produced. there is no simplicity in it. from the 54351354 layers of screaming vocals added over the track to the actual track having too much noise in it and finally the HORRID Lyrics.

    when she releases a song that speaks for itself, maybe then she can get that number 1.

    .
    she seems to be specialising in the continous-upward-failure motion
    .
    the journey started with FFS , peaked when she has a #1 song for 9 weeks but failing to sell that song across 2X platinum pure sales
    .
    now her hit that got away Kiss It Better sent her for looking for another n-u-t to hangon juat stay afloat this era

  82. LB May 9, 2016

    Can someone please explain to me what rusty gun Trosie is using to fire her blanks from?

    As far as I am concerned, Anti has sold more copies than Honeybomb and the other flopsey flop it is currently stanning for.

    So you can collect this L Hosie and hang it around your neck like the bottom of the charts have your fav. You literally have nothing to stand on here.

    By the way, it has been literally years we have been asking for Lana’s boxscores and till this day, all we have gotten are cemeteries, crickets and tumbleweed, why hide them?

  83. foreign gil says May 9, 2016

    Poor beyonce that Lemonade didn’t help her and now she’s not even LOCAL ARTIST any more

  91. Cinnamon Girl May 9, 2016

    Didn’t I tell you fleahives that you guys get too excited too fast like a bunch of children? You guys are too desperate and emotional and you always wind up looking stupid. It took Drake one night to outsell Beyawnce. Beyawnce couldn’t even get 1 million folks to watch Sour Lemons and the album couldn’t even go gold off of pure sales in 1 week. Ivy Flop is still not sold out. None of her singles have made it to number 1. Dumbyonce did the most and still wound up coming up short

  92. Duffster Lovato May 9, 2016

    Does any of the submarines realise that Formation is still in the top 10 on iTunes and it still isn’t a single, the video is still unlisted and it’s exclusively on Tidal? Guess they don’t know that.

  93. Molly May 9, 2016

    All this Beyonce clocking im living

  94. No favs, just here for the music May 9, 2016

    Damn Drake it’s about time. This was loooong overdue tbh. He’s come out with some amazing and memorable songs over the years, not just ‘One Dance.’ It doesn’t make any sense. Congratulations to him!!!

  95. brandonnavy May 9, 2016

    Wow so proud of all the success! Anti is a masterpiece. I haven’t heard all of views yet..lemonade quenched my thirst. All of my favorite black artist getting the regonition they deserve. Yes

  96. Thando May 9, 2016

    Beyonce will never get another US #1.

    • Golden May 10, 2016

      I think if she wanted to, she could. I do feel Formation would have been #1 if the video was listed, and the single would have been up for sale from the beginning. Sorry and Hold up have potential as well. Btw, (Never say never), you never know.

      • Thando May 10, 2016

        No. She will never.

  97. zeroing ivy bloper tran anti girl lemond time May 9, 2016

    Nice

  98. Mad-on-her May 10, 2016

    It would be interesting to see what Beyoncé would have done had Lemonade and the tracks been available to all streaming platforms. I think the album would have done over 1 million, she’d have a No1 single with Formation and Hold Up and Sorry would also have been Top Ten by now. She’s doing amazing streaming numbers to say it’s only on Tidal.

    • Shade May 10, 2016

      Don’t think so. Formation is just not number one material. Maybe on the urban charts, but surely not the hot 100. Say what you want, but a #1 artist should be making hits and selling albums, like Michael Jackson, Madonna and Rihanna. Beyonce coming up short. Although she could sell Albums, her hits catalog is weak. Rihanna has already sold more albums worldwide than her.

      • Mad-on-her May 10, 2016

        I also didn’t think Formation was No1 material either initially, but it’s sales have had just as strong a start at Rihanna’s Work did, which is all the more impressive considering it had been available free for three months on Tidal – and the album was already selling fast. The difference? Work had streaming power on all platforms behind it. I reckon if Formation had had the same it could have gone to No1 in its first week, and Sorry would have a shot of climbing in the coming weeks.

  99. nico May 10, 2016

    Rihanna fans nobody care about her or want to see her in Europe you’re so delusional we only care about her future radios stations hit
