If you had a feeling The Weeknd‘s latest hit ‘Can’t Feel My Face’ was set to ascend to #1 on the Hot 100 this week, you were right!

Dethroning longtime chart champion ‘Cheerleader’ by OMI, ‘Feel’ – found aboard his forthcoming project ‘Beauty Behind the Madness’ (Aug. 28th) – comes as the first chart-topper of his career (after a slew of consecutive top 10s).

As he celebrates, we trust his ‘Trust Issues’ co-star Drake is doing the same.  For, in addition to notching the year’s first platinum plaque, his Meek Mill diss ‘Back To Back’ (which officially debuted on the singles chart this week at #21) sees the Canadian rapper nab his 91st Hot 100 hit!

The feat earned him a distinct honor. See it and this week’s full chart check below:

For many, messy best defines the disaster that has been Rihanna‘s eighth album campaign.

Singles have been flying out left and right, with few sticking commercially and fewer making an impact (pop)culturally.

Could it be because she’s readying a major resurgence next month?
