Rapper Drake will no doubt be celebrating today; the Canadian star has notched up his first US chart topper with ‘What’s My Name?’

The Rihanna led single, rocketed #60-#1 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week – after a surge in digital sales (250,000 to be exact).

Last week’s #1, Ke$ha‘s ‘We R Who We R’ slip to #5.

———————————————————

Mediocre song or not, kudos to the talented Drake. Having been quite the chart force himself, the 24 year old  this time had to deal with dismal live showings of the song put on by its lead performer. Luckily for him, today’s record-buying public don’t seem to care much for quality of a song or the faux-singer trying to sing it. Still, it’s all business and the first #1 of what I’m sure will be many more for the Young Money star.

It appears Ciara is cranking her promotional push for ‘Basic Instinct’ up a notch ahead of its release next month. The 25 year old beauty features in the December issue of VMAN magazine, a taster of which surfaced today. Classy shot. I like.

All I need now is a televised performance of ‘Gimmie Dat’ and we’ll be firmly on the right track. Truth be told, things finally seem to be accelerating with the project as of late. Indeed, ‘Gimmie Dat’ went for adds on radio this week, while Ms. Harris is currently hosting BET’s 106 & Park this whole week (premièring a new snippet from the album everyday).
