Winning: Drake Scores First UK Top 5 Single With ‘Hold On We’re Going Home’

He’s the Rap vocalist with a fan base enamoured by the stream of honesty that runs through his lyrics. Now, after watching his latest single ‘Hold On, We’re Going Home’ score an Arctic Monkey’s cover last week, Drake has welcomed his very first UK Top 5 single with the number!

Good news for the ‘What If I‘ performer after the jump!

Rising one spot up from the #6 spot it held last week, the Noah Shebib produced release now holds court at #5 on this week’s Official Singles Chart, marking his highest charting single in the nation since his debut- two weeks before the release of his brand new album ‘Nothing Was The Same’.

A record formerly held by his Rihanna assisted ‘Take Care’ (#9) , ‘Hold On’ achieved the feat last week when it reached #6 but has now one upped itself this week thanks to the anticipation surrounding ‘Same’ in the market and the aforementioned Monkey’s cover, which ensured the cut held its Top Ten spot this week.

With ‘Same‘ on course to dominate the Billboard 200 upon its release, there’s no doubt ‘Hold On’ won’t be the last hit single Mr. Graham scores this era. An era, which has already seen its buzz single ‘Started From The Bottom’ knock on 1 million’s dollar and earn its very own Platinum certification!
