Streaming often shakes up the Billboard charts and thatās never more true than with Drake. He recently dropped a two-song EP without warning and heās now achieved his fourth No. 1 song (though its only his second as lead artist). His new track āGodās Planā has debuted on this weekās Hot 100 on top, breaking the on-demand streaming record (68 million streams), which counts paid-subscription services, and earning the fourth-biggest overall streaming week ever (82.4 million streams), behind Baauerās āHarlem Shakeā (for two separate weeks) and Taylor Swiftās āLook What You Made Me Do.ā Shortly after its release, āGodās Planā broke both Apple Music and Spotifyās single-day records.
But thatās not all: The other track on the EP, āDiplomatic Immunity,ā has also debuted at No. 7, making him only the second artist in history to debut two songs on the Top 10 simultaneously, after Ed Sheeran did it last year. Though āGodās Planā is Drakeās fourth No. 1 (āOne Danceā was his last), this is his first No. 1 debut. Drake waited years for his first-ever solo No. 1, initially missing out for āHotline Bling,ā but now thanks to streaming metrics, itās a piece of cake. Whoeverās plan this was, itās clearly working.
