Last week he scored his first chart-topper as a lead artist, and Drake is clearly reluctant to let go! 

The Canadian rapper look set to hold on to the Number 1 spot with One Dance, which rocketed up the Official Singles Chart last week to end Mike Posner's tenure at the summit.

Drake previously hit Number 1 as a guest on Rihanna's What's My Name in 2010, but One Dance is his first as a headliner, with a little help from Wizkid and Kyla, of course. See Drake's full chart history here.
