Drake Lands His First No. 1 as A Lead Artist

Drake had scored his first No. 1 as a lead artist on the Billboard Hot 100 with his Views single “One Dance,” featuring WizKid and Kyla.

“One Dance,” released on Young Money/Cash Money/Republic Records, becomes Drake’s first Hot 100 No. 1 in a lead role, following two toppers as a featured artist, both on tracks with Rihanna as the lead: “What’s My Name?” (one week, 2010) and “Work,” which spent its last of nine weeks at No. 1 three weeks ago (on the April 30-dated chart). As a lead, Drake had previously peaked as high as No. 2 twice: with his debut hit “Best I Ever Had” in 2009 and “Hotline Bling” last year.
