Powered by its online social virality, ‘In My Feelings’ makes it a challenge to replace as Drake spends a third consecutive week at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 (Aug 4). Not to be outdone by breaking his own records this year, ‘Feelings’ lifts himself above Rihanna’s record 41 weeks in the number one slot this decade. A record that also lifts him ahead of Usher as most by a male soloist in any decade in Billboard’s 60-year history. Drake has now spent 22 weeks at #1 in 2018, ‘Feelings’ (3 weeks), ‘Nice’ (8 weeks), ‘Plan’ (11 weeks).
