There was once a time when Drake couldnā€™t get a solo No. 1 song no matter how hard he memeā€™d himself. (Justice for ā€œHotline Blingā€!) Now, he gets them like clockwork: Drakeā€™s ā€œIn My Feelingsā€ has made it to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 just two weeks after its release, bringing Drakeā€™s total No. 1s for the year to a whopping three so far. ā€œIn My Feelingsā€ ā€” the song that birthed a trillion dance challenge videos no one asked for, with the exception of Will Smithā€™s ā€” has replaced Drakeā€™s other No. 1 song, ā€œNice for What,ā€ which previously replaced his other other No. 1 song, ā€œGodā€™s Plan.ā€ (Heā€™s the first artist to do this since Katy Perry in 2010.) All three currently sit in the Top 10 simultaneously. Overall, this is Drakeā€™s sixth No. 1 song, the most ever for a rapper. And in case youā€™re wondering, yes, a video for ā€œIn My Feelingsā€ is reportedly already in the can. Now we just have two questions: KIKI, DO YOU LOVE THIS? ARE YOU GETTING YOUR FAIR CUT OF THE PROFITS? Weā€™ll wait.
