Drake has right foot up, left foot slid his way to Number 1 on this week’s Official Irish Singles Chart with Toosie Slide.

The Canadian’s 14th Top 10 single becomes the third of his career to lead Ireland’s Top 50 following 2016’s One Dance and God’s Plan from 2018.

Following its premiere in the video game Fortnite, The Scotts’ self-titled single debuts at Number 2. The Scotts are Travis Scott and Kid Cudi (real name Scott Mescudi) and their eponymous track becomes the highest-charting single for both, surpassing the Number 3 peak for the former’s Highest In The Room from 2019, and the latter’s Memories with David Guetta from 2010 which topped out at Number 5.
