As powerhouse singer/songwriter Sia enjoys her third week of thrilling listeners with her first #1 on the Hot 100, ‘Cheap Thrills’ (featuring Sean Paul), the week’s real winner just may (yet again) be Drake.
After the rapper’s hit ‘One Dance,’ which Sia dethroned to claim the top spot, reigned over the Hot 100 and headlines with an impressive 10 nonconsecutive week run on the tally’s perch, what may be equally impressive is the emcee’s overall time in the top 10 with other hits from ‘Dance’s parent album ‘Views.’ A history-making feat to say the least, Billboard reports:
“…[Drake] has now spent 47 consecutive weeks in the region, padding his record among solo males. His streak began on the Oct. 3, 2015, Hot 100, when “Hotline Bling” jumped 16-9. The record among all acts belongs to Katy Perry, who ranked in the Hot 100’s top 10 for 69 consecutive weeks (all as a lead) in 2010-11.”
Snatching the title from fellow Canadian hitmaker, The Weeknd, Drizzy may be well on his way to climbing past Katy’s historic 69 week figure from the looks of other ‘Views’ songs that are working their way up the charts. Until then, tuck in below to find out where Ms. Perry, Mr. Graham, and all of your other faves of the day landed on this week’s refreshed Hot 100:
Hot 100 This Week
Congrats Drake, Not my favorite album of his but the success is un-deniable!
streaming done phucked everything up.
people like iggy breaking mariah carey records from the 90s. lmao. I can’t with this streaming nor will I ever accept it. Drake congrats on the accolades, but they don’t mean shiiiiiit.
It’s his worst album but he is smashing so hard. I can’t go anywhere without hearing Controlla, Too Good, or For Free (even though that’s not on the album) right now. I hear With You and Child’s Play a lot too.
Nice one, AubRih still have about 3 songs in the top 25, what a sorry state it must be for other artists.

Slay
Ok Aubrey, we see you!!
Congrats Drizz. Hope he doesn’t burn out too son and still have fuel left in the tank.
There are only currently 5 major artists whose album sales and touring #s match the hype: Beyoncè, Adele, Talyor Swift, Justin Bieber and Drake. Not everyone can go platinum in pure sales like these artists. Congrats Drizzy!
SHADE
Don’t forget Katy Perry, Little Mix, and Pink. Pure sales are honestly dead
Who are little mix?
Currently the biggest girl group in pop. They are grossing $1 million a night on their tour.
The Katy Perry shade . . . The way this article was written, I thought her song had rebounded to the top 25 of the Hot 100.
Rihannas ANTI broke another record as one of only 11 albums this decade to spend half a year in the top 10. #AUBRIH dominating
Another week, another records broken. lol
She is on a roll, by the time she gets Yonce’s real age, she will be untouchable.
We need to get Rihanna to #1 Navy. Stream Came For and Needed Me to the max this week kids.
Still not encouraging them to purchase the damn album?
47 weeks is impressive but holy cow @ Katy’s 69 weeks! Thats crazy! Ariana came half way to that by spending 34 consecutive weeks in the top 10 during the My Everything era. I’m glad Into You has a new peak, I’m predicting top 15 next week. I’m ready for One Dance to die off so Too Good can take over
Rigged
Good for him! I’m sure his tour will cross the $100,000,000 mark. I wonder how much Future will receive, since he’s somewhat a co-headliner.

Anyway, Sam, PLEASE post on Abel donating $250,000 to Black Lives Matter!
I can’t listen to Views in full but this era would be looked back upon as when Drake truly transcended to pop super-stardom. Sure, he’s done so mainly bu streaming but his success is reminiscent of when male artists such as Eminem, Usher, Nelly and 50 Cent RULED the singles and album charts during the first half of the 2000s. Congrats to him
I just hope drake can have the longevity of eminem and usher.
Where is Beyonce “sorry” I thought it was gonna slay
Congrats to sia and Drake
