After a one-week vacation from the top thanks to a temporary ousting by Post Malone & Ty Dolla $ign‘s ‘Psycho,’ rapper Drake‘s back at #1 with his unrelenting hit, ‘Nice For What.’ As usual, a handsome mix of radio airplay, digital downloads, and streams (powered mostly by the latter) led to the Grammy winner’s recapturing of the top spot.
Billboard reports:
‘”Nice,” released on Young Money/Cash Money/Republic Records, revisits the Hot 100’s top spot, as it rises 4-3 on Streaming Songs (31.6 million U.S. streams, down 8 percent, in the week ending June 14, according to Nielsen Music)…6-4 on Radio Songs (87.5 million in audience in the week ending June 17)…10-7 on Digital Song Sales (20,000 downloads sold, down 3 percent, in the week ending June 14)…’
The move, as we forecasted here, gave him just the push he needed to surpass Michael Jackson‘s Hot 100 record. That’s right, with just five #1s to his credit, Drizzy’s now entered history books with the second most weeks at #1 among males.
