Drake has extended his reign over the Official Singles Chart this week with God’s Plan.

The track, taken from his Scary Hours EP, was streamed 6.7 million times this week to claim a fourth stint at Number 1.

God’s Plan is Drake’s third UK Number 1 single, following What’s My Name? with Rihanna in 2010 and One Dance in 2016. Look back at Drake’s complete Official UK Chart history here.

Watch the newly-released God's Plan music video below, directed by Director X: 

It means Rudimental have to settle for a second week at Number 2 with their latest single These Days. The song, which features Jess Glynne, Macklemore and Dan Caplen, is the group’s fourth Top 10 single.

This Is Me from The Greatest Showman continues to scale the chart, up three places to a new peak of Number 3, and Portugal. The Man’s Feel It Still also lifts three places to a new high at Number 6 for its 29th week on the Official Chart.

New entries and high climbers

With the final instalment of the Fifty Shades films released last Friday (Feb 9), theme song For You by Liam Payne & Rita Ora reaches a new peak this week, up 10 places to Number 8. The climb earns Rita her 12th Top 10 and equals an Official Chart record - more on that here.

Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s All The Stars from Marvel’s newly-released Black Panther film zooms 17 places to Number 11, while the rapper’s collaboration with The Weeknd, Pray For Me, climbs two spots to 13.

Marshmello and Anne-Marie’s brand new single Friends bags this week’s highest new entry at Number 19, while Memphis-born rapper Blocboy JB lands his first UK Top 40 single this week – Drake collaboration Look Alive debuts at 23.

Finally, new US singer-songwriter Bazzi jumps 13 places to land his first UK Top 40 with Mine, rapper Mist rebounds six spots to 38 with Game Changer, and James Bay’s new single Wild Love opens at 39.

No idea why everyone seems to dislike Drake's 'God's Plan', I think it's one of his strongest yet and I can definitely see it staying at number 1 for another week or two. Probably won't do as well as One Dance (still his best track) but another deserved success. And that music video, wow. People must think he's a saint.

Also great to see Greatest Showman's 'This Is Me' climbing even higher, great little song. Granted, this is probably going to be the highest it will achieve, as buzz for the film will die down no matter how good the soundtrack is, but I'm impressed. Word of mouth definitely helped this one, the film came out in December I recall.

Also, about Rudimental's 'These Days'- sorry but this song isn't doing it for me. I can see why people like it but for me its another one of those songs where they've got too many people on it, and it sounds a bit generic- you could say the same about Drake's record but he's really came into his own recently. I absolutely hated his earlier stuff but he's one of my favourite rappers around now.

Just listened to some of Rudimental's previous tracks (like their number one Waiting All Night), and they'v gone downhill for sure. I'd completely forgotten about Sun Comes Up until I saw it mentioned, I didn't like that one either- though that may be because James Arthur annoys me.

Charts are a joke with this streaming . No way does that Drake song get enough streams to be top, seeing as he can't sell enough to get past number 8. Record company manipulation...

Still a bit frustrated that 'These Days' is getting blocked by 'God's Plan', but it is nice to see 'This Is Me' & 'Feel It Still' reach new peaks inside the Top 10! :)
Congratulations to Rita Ora on equalling that Top 10 record by British female artists.
