Drake scores his third Number 1 single of 2018 with In My Feelings
They say three's a crowd, but we're sure Drake won't mind making room in his award cabinet for his third Official Singles Chart Number 1 of the year!
In My Feelings follows God's Plan and Nice For What to give Drake a hat-trick of chart-toppers in 2018 – the first time in three years an artist has achieved this in a calendar year. Justin Bieber did it last in 2015 with What Do You Mean, Sorry and Love Yourself.
The song's success has been buoyed by the "In My Feelings Challenge" dance craze, created by Instagram comic Shiggy, which has seen a number of stars – including Drake himself – uploading videos of their own attempts. In My Feelings is Drake's fifth chart-topper in total. See Drake's full chart history
After being deposed by Three Lions last week, Shotgun, by George Ezra, remains at Number 2. Three Lions itself isn't in the Top 40 this week – find out where it ended up.
Drake claims a second Top 5 spots today, too: his duet with the icon Michael Jackson, Don't Matter to Me, is a non-mover at 5.
New entries and high climbers
Highest new entry this week comes from Ariana Grande, with God is a Woman, the third track to be taken from forthcoming fourth album Sweetener, straight in at 4.
5 Seconds of Summer score their first Top 10 hit in four years with Youngblood, up three slots to 8, and Tiesto's Jackie Chan feat. Dezko, Preme and Post Malone is up from 12 to 9.
Breaking the Top 20 for the first time this week are Tyga's Taste, feat. Offset, which bounds eight spots to 16, while Cheat Codes & Little Mix leap nine places to 19 with Only You.
Childish Gambino is new at 30 with Summertime Magic; Martin Garrix and Khalid enter the Top 40, rising eight slots to 34 with Ocean; while The Greatest Showman anthem This is Me, from Keala Settle, sneaks back into the Top 40, rebounding six places to 37

'In My Feelings' might be far from the best #1 of the year so far, but you know what, I'd take it over 'Nice For What' or 'God's Plan' any day.
I love 'Youngblood' & 'Jackie Chan' finally hitting the Top 10 though! :)

Official charts turned "Billboard UK charts"..
I.B.
The Scottish chart is way better than this.

I still think the actual sales chart should be as it is and people look to that the same as always have! The fact the OCC now use a mix of sales, streams, video streams, downloads, in a completely botched up way and choose to call it the top 40 chart is unfortunate and nothing can be done bout that. Sad but true.

In my book Real Sales Matter and really, lets face it really It was Shotgun by George Ezra was back to the top as it was #1 on UKSales/Scotland/Irish/Downloads Chart, Audio Streaming is really fake to add to Singles as it includes fake Streaming points with now ACR/SCR to it to singles as a promo, why has everything got to be with streaming these days, as the charts change since 2007 with Album Tracks getting to into a Single Charts, Leona Lewis with Run made history as that was never a acutal single in the UK it was Top for a single charts from the Album.

Even if you just look at the sales chart, 'In My Feelings' is still #2, and in terms of streams Drake is well ahead of anyone else. I don't agree with the ACR rule, but neither 'In My Feelings' or 'Shotgun' are affected by that rule yet. Plus, the vast majority of 'In My Feeling's streams came from paying users (roughly 7.75m of its 8.8m streams this week were from paying subscribers) so no matter which way you look at it Drake is rightfully #1 with nearly 17,000 more chart sales than 'Shotgun'.
If you want to watch just the sales chart then be my guest, but you'll be watching a chart for a dying medium. This week only 927,000 singles were actually purchased, the lowest total since 2005, and sales have been under 1 million for 7 weeks in a row now. It'll only be an absolute maximum of 5 years before digital downloads are about as relevant as physical single sales are now.

Boring!

So, how many weeks do you predict Drake will be at the top now?

As long as this dance challenge stays popular. Could be all summer.

Don't let him ever match Bryan Adams'stand alone record
I.B.
Hopefully it will be just one week. Let's hope there's nothing from him after this for a while at least. Unless you want him as this year's Xmas number one!
Foxes
As it's #1 on Spotify with 800,000+ streams each day, 300,000+ more than 'Shotgun' at #2, at #2 on iTunes with roughly 85% of the sales of 'Shotgun', #1 on Apple Music and #3 on YouTube, 'In My Feelings' is in for a long run at #1. I'd say a minimum of 4 weeks, but probably more.

It's a pity the only other artist who can outstream him Bieber has nothing planned until late 2018/early 2019 at best.
Foxes
Ed Sheeran could also outstream Drake (in the UK at least), but we've got no idea when we're hearing new music from him. And Adele might not be able to outstream him, but she could get enough streams combined with her massive sales to beat Drake, but no new music from her either.
Alfred Lock
On the Albums front I think even he will struggle to hold off the power of Abba. Namely the Mamma Mia Here We Go Again Soundtrack which is currently No.1 on the midweek charts. Hopefully all fans of all ages can be involved with streaming it as well as Abbas music is universal .
