Even with a bevy of Vine reinterpretations of its interesting music video, Drake‘s ‘Hotline Bling’ wasn’t hot enough to dethrone The Weeknd‘s reign at #1 as it has now clocked a 6th week atop the tally.
Indeed, fans of the Young Money rapper were sure ‘Bling’s accompanying visual would be just what the doctor ordered to land his very first #1 on the Hot 100. However, as it was released to Apple Music (which does not report its numbers to Nielsen), the streaming figures did not offer the much needed assistance to make his career-long dream a reality.
As such, contrary to analyst predictions, the Weeknd clings to the tenancy of the top spot once again. Well, that is, until next week when Adele‘s ‘Hello’ comes sweeping through with its official figures…
