Drake Tops Billboard Hot 100 for Sixth Week With 'Nice for What'

Drake's "Nice for What" rules the Billboard Hot 100 chart for a sixth total week. With his latest frame on top, Drake ties Michael Jackson for the second-most career weeks logged at No. 1 among solo males (37 each) in the chart's 59-year history, with the pair trailing only Usher (47 weeks) for the lead in the category.

Meanwhile, Lil Baby and Drake take over atop the Streaming Songs chart with "Yes Indeed," which holds at its No. 6 Hot 100 high, and Cardi B, Bad Bunny and J Balvin return to the Hot 100's top 10 with "I Like It," at a new No. 7 peak, following the premiere of its official video.

"Nice," earns Drake his 37th cumulative week at No. 1 on the Hot 100, totaled by his five No. 1s; he previously led as featured on Rihanna's "What's My Name? (one week, 2010) and "Work" (nine weeks, 2016) and with his own "One Dance," featuring WizKid and Kyla (10 weeks, 2016), and "God's Plan" (11 weeks, 2018).

Drake matches Michael Jackson for the second-most weeks spent at No. 1 among solo males, after Usher. Among all artists, Drake and Jackson now share seventh place:

("Plan" passed three songs that each spent their first 16 weeks in the top three: Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You," in 2017; The Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling," in 2009; and, Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men's "One Sweet Day," in 1995-96.)
