A message on Billboard’s website reads: ‘Drake celebrates his first No. 1 as a lead artist on the Billboard Hot 100(dated May 21), as ‘One Dance’, featuring WizKid and Kyla, climbs 2-1.
“The track is from his new album, Views, which, as previously reported, debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with his best sales week and a record-setting weekly streaming total.”
Drake previously hit number one as guest on Rihanna’s ‘What’s My Name’ in 2010.
Wizkid is the first Nigerian artiste on the Billboard charts and most definitely the first to be number one.
