After Hotline Bling was cockblocked by Adele, Drake's song "One Dance" from his new album finally reached #1 on the hot charts after it was steadily rising in popularity. This marks his first ever appearance at the top of Billboards Top 100.

[harSon]

It's a damn shame that the best rapper in the game hasn't had a #1 song before now

 

[SgtCobra]

Waiting on "Grammy's" to become a number one hit.

Spoiler

So like, never

 

[SliceSabre]

Hotline Bling was a better song.

 

[Eidan]

Hm, never heard it before. Surprising that this was his first #1 though. Where did Hotline Bling peak at?

 

[Shadow_Lord]

Hm, never heard it before. Surprising that this was his first #1 though. Where did Hotline Bling peak at?

#2, with "Hello" dominating #1.

Adele said Hello to the #1 spot at the same time.

 

[Gotdatmoney]

Hotline Bling was a better song.

Yup. I personally like Controlla more than one dance as well.

 

[Galang]

Would have been awesome if Hotline Bling went #1 instead of this, but he definitely deserves this either way. A solo number one for him was long overdue and I'm glad he finally did it.

 

[sixteen-bit]

congrats to him

Hahahahaha

Hahahahahahahaha

Best rapper. That's hilarious. Good one harSon.

 

[breakfuss]

Hahahahaha

Hahahahahahahaha

As far as mainstream goes, it's absolutely true.

 

[Owari]

As far as mainstream goes, it's absolutely true.

Kendrick could have his mouth removed and still be a better rapper than Drake.

 

[blame space]

damn can we finally find out who the best rapper is in this thread?

 

[xaosslug]

i'm still surprised Hold on, We're Going Home never reached #1. Still such an awesome song.

 

[Lkr]

damn can we finally find out who the best rapper is in this thread?

It's obviously MC Ride

 

[breakfuss]

I'm a wayyy bigger fan of Kendrick but still think Drake is at the top right now.

 

[Mangoverboard]

aw shit, opinions flying already

J Cole is best suckas

 

[AlexMeloche]

Never heard it? Weird.

 

[GTP_Daverytimes]

Didn't like the song, even if it has my naija boy Wizkid.

 

[Owari]

I'm a wayyy bigger fan of Kendrick but still think Drake is at the top right now.

Mousketeer finally at the top after 10 years of mindless pop music =/= best rapper in the game

Also TLOP was better than Views. TB16 will be better too. ¯|_(&#12484_/¯

 

[Ray Wonder]

Congrats to him. Hotline bling was definitely the bigger song though. Just unfortunate timing.

I didn't think it was gonna make it.

 

[masud]

Good song it deserves it. Singing Drake is best Drake.

 

[richardhawk]

Controlla needs to get up there as well. Both songs are great.

 

[Bleepey]

How can a song go to number 1 when there is not only no official video but it can't be found on youtube. Unless, I am missing something.

 

[Z_Y]

Too Good is better.

But I dig One Dance (and Controlla)

 

[Ray Wonder]

Too Good is better.

But I dig One Dance (and Controlla)

Too good definitely is better. I listen to that twice as much as any other song on the album.

 

[WaffleTaco]

Most played of the week.

This song is straight fire though!

Best at putting people to sleep?

I agree, Views is disappointing and yeah TLOP is a much better record. Still don't think you can discredit what Drake has been doing the last few years though. Kills most of his features. Dropped two pretty good mixtapes within a span of months. Crossover appeal. I'd say he's doing it bigger than anyone right now.

 

[Bel Marduk]

that "you used to call me on my cellphone" song wasn't #1?

It seemed to be played over and over again to the point where it drove me to complete madness

I

 

[Guevara]

Think of Drake as a modern day DeBarge or Lionel Richie rather than a rapper, if that helps.

Then we can all enjoy his music without the tedious authenticity hate.

 

[Einchy]

Dunno if I've heard the original (can't find out since it's not on Youtube) but I have heard this a bunch.

[Gotdatmoney]

People so concerned about whether drake is a rapper or drake is good. Dude releases fire music (besides views ironically) and has mad crossover appeal. Why the fuck does that make people so salty? You all get dumped to Marvin's Room or some shit?

LMAOOOO. Hell nah man. Why, because he's light skinned? This is why that man can't get over his insecurities. No respect.

You all get dumped to Marvin's Room or some shit?

LOL

 

[UnemployedVillain]

So many salty people in here. One Dance is an awesome song.

 

[njr]

I'll admit it. I listen to Drake songs for the gunshots.

 

[EloquentM]

Controlla was robbed

Adele cockblocked him.

And Future Light got a number 1, so Aubrey got mad and created a better pop song to dethrone Diet Future.

Controlla was robbed

Popcaan was robbed.

I was gonna say Lionel Richie but yeah that works.

lmfao gtfo

even tlop is better than views and that's one of kanye's weaker records

as a matter of fact tlop is better than most of drake's albums

kanye's top four are ridiculously superior to drake's discography

 

[Lebron]

How many times Meek had a #1?

 

[SecretDan]

Maybe. But Kanye's rapping on TLOP is garbage.

TLOP and Yeezus are two Ye albums I have no desire to ever listen to outside of like 3 songs. TLOP is mediocre and way worse than the majority of Drake's projects.

Ye has releasd some dope projects I would put a ways above drake but TLOP isnt anywhere near that.

 

[LordDash]

yooo

how the hell is Desiigner's Panda on that list for 11 weeks straight and at #2?

hard to believe and understand

 

[breakfuss]

I know this is rhetorical but his highest charting song was at #21(likely buoyed by the Nicki feature).

yooo

Hell, it peaked at #1. I don't get it either. Catchy song but I'm hurting for Future lol.

 

[Ivan 3414]

This song sucks. It would and should have been Hotline Bling, if he hadn't have decided to keep the music video exclusive to Apple music for the first week or so

Kanye's top four is better than just about any rapper, but TLOP is a tire fire, the worst album Kanye has put out. VIEWS is safe solid. Both under delivered but VIEWS is at least competent.

Man, you are due for a TLOP relisten. At worst its messy, but it has some of Kanye's best songs ever. I love it.

Views>Pablo is crazy town, and especially so because its "safe solid"

That's a hot garbage take on TLOP. You need another listen
