One Dance Featuring Wizkid and Kyla Lands Drake his First Number 1 Spot As a Lead Artist

It's been a long time coming, but Drake has finally hit the Number 1 spot on the Official Singles Chart as a lead artist.

Previously hitting the helm of as a guest on Rihanna's What's My Name in 2011, One Dance jumped 20 places from last week, achieving combined sales of 72,000 copies. The track is taken from the rapper's fourth studio album Views from the 6, due to be released on April 29th.

Despite reaching Number 1, One Dance is in fact the tenth most streamed track of the week, due to the fact it was only available on Apple Music for the first half of the sales window. Featuring Wizkid a Nigerian artist and Kyla, the song is the first Number 1 of 2016 to feature a female - One Dance samples Kyla's 2009 single Do You Mind?

Drake is the third Canadian artist this year to score a Number 1 single, following Justin Bieber and Shawn Mendes. The only other time this has ever happened was in 2014, when DVBBS, Keisza and MAGIC! Scored chart toppers.
