To say the race for #1 on next week’s Hot 100 is tight is quite the understatement.
Just one week after ‘One Dance’ – the latest single from Drake‘s sixth album ‘Views’ – topped the charts (giving the rapper his first leading reign atop the tally), news comes the dapper divo’s run may be abruptly cut due to his ‘Cabaret’ co-star Justin Timberlake.
Indeed, after the latter’s new single, ‘Can’t Stop the Feeling,’ felt its way to the top of iTunes charts shortly after its premiere, reports now have it the tune will be experiencing similar success on the Hot 100.
More inside:
Via Billboard:
“Based on projected sales provided by industry sources, and streaming and airplay data, collected by Nielsen Music so far in the tracking period, “Feeling,” released a week ago (May 6), could blast onto the Hot 100 (dated May 28) at No. 1.
“Feeling,” written and produced by Timberlake, Max Martin and Shellback and from the forthcoming Trolls soundtrack, could start with a monstrous 330,000 sold or more, while “Dance” could finish the tracking week with 125,000 or more scanned. “Dance,” however, holds a wide lead in streaming: more than 30 million vs. more than 10 million for Timberlake so far. Drake’s song also leads, although less so, in radio airplay audience over Timberlake’s (roughly 60 vs. 50 million).”
If the predictions ring true Timberlake will land his first chart-topper in nearly a decade and 5th overall trip to #1 as a solo artist.

HASHTAG: #WhitePrivilege
U can say that again
I’m sorry what part of Little Jimmy’s childhood actor, upper middle class, Jewish, Canadian upbringing was faced with struggle?
Unlike Drakeisha he can sing, and his success is due to his long years in the industry. You racists need to have an Olympic stadium’s worth of seats.
White people will buy anything their own people put out its a silly song
Britney releasing a song too I would not be surprised she snatched is jerry curls from number one spot it’s easy these days now to get these people number one with streaming ridiculous
What’s race got to do it? Rihanna spent 9 weeks at number 1 with a very juvenile song, and because JT is at number one for week… It’s white privilege.
Gosh..don’t think your be happy when any white arists at number 1. Don’t try and knock down white artists achievements!
So enough with the “Beyoncé hasn’t had a #1 hit since 08” mess. Justin hasn’t had one six 06. But he still made timeless songs. Other than this one.
He’s so basic.
And gross.
And Drakeisha isn’t!? LMAO. Pot meet kettle.
He channels Michael usher prince in a white body steal their moves people think he original it’s funny selena stealing Beyonce style on stage now do you see her outfits I was like really girl
It is official. The new generation knows nothing about good music and is clueless, not moved and bored of it when it is presented to them….#SMDH
I cant at these basic ass corny generic songs going #1 left and right
Formation didn’t.
And gross.
Everyone seems to be getting #1 hits left,right and center except someone…kiii!
But who needs a #1 when your tour is grossing over $5mil per show???
Congrats to Justin,i still think this song is corny but hei,it’s what it is!
You count Beyonce money you getting any of it
And how much do you get from 200million records sold by Rihanna that your azzz is always bragging about 24/7 on TGJ?? Sweetheart, spend your energy in getting your a** to school and learn how to construct a mere sentence then come back at me.
And bey will snatched back here number one album spot #ByeDrake
Nope
Drake is still #1 this week
And he released to spotify today
That song is as bland and generic as white people’s Thanksgiving Day food. One Dance will be back on top the week after with This is What You Came For inching quickly behind it
Holy fu ck racist much? Have you ever considered that the only reason “White people food” tastes so bland to you is because you over season your food to death and your taste buds can’t differentiate 5h1t anymore?
Let’s just face it, for the most part, white can’t cook! And regards to JT’s new single going #1, there’s definitely some payola involved in it!
“White people”
I’m starting to resent streaming because every week these stupid songs going number one it’s a new song release a video there it goes it benefits whites you know how powerful they are on the Internet
^^^^Says a Rihanna stan……
Bwahahahahahhaahhaahaahaha
Timberlake needs to go away. One Dance deserves to keep that spot for at least 12 weeks.
No, it doesn’t. It deserves to be forgotten just like Drake’s basic ass.
I love how the comments focus on the race rather than the merit of the artist or his music. How you commentators can’t see your own biases and racism is beyond me. It’s practically written on your foreheads.
^^^^^thats TGJ for you. For me both songs are basic, Drake is most basic rapper and no,um not white.
So I guess the only thing one can do is send his congrats and move on.
He channels top black artist like Michael and prince mix with usher steal their moves act and white people call it original Justin is fake he goes in and out when he want to claim white in Hollywood for movies then switch to his black card with rhythm and blues then he will take someone spot in the Grammy category next year
@OMG Logic
Exactly but I’m the racist one on here.
You are the racist one on here.
Congrats to both of them. Drake earned his first #1 single (although it’s run could be short-lived) and JT has another chart-topper under his belt.
LOL!ONE week? So where’s the bandwagoners that “Stan” for him that laugh at Bey “free falling”? His single got topple down by JT and on iTunes album by Queen Bey. Yeah, falling to #7 in Netherlands, #5 in Australia and out of top ten in France already. This is not Free Falling? Not to mention Bey ascended to number one in NZ, holding strong in the top 3 in UK and number one in Netherland for second week. She reached a new peak in Belgian and Italy.
Beyawnce:
Now I’m Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Free Falling
He had a iheartradio deal where they played his song for 24 hours not payola or white hype plus comeback+Generic kids song for a animated film+Max Martin=Hit. It’s gonna fall slowly right after.
Wow
