Drake Extends Hot 100 Reign as Paul McCartney and Lauren Daigle Score Major Chart Wins

Today’s report centers on the number 10 and several notable chart milestones. Drake’s “In My Feelings” has now spent a 10th consecutive week at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, and in doing so he has set a new record for the most total weeks at number one in a single calendar year with 29 weeks. Meanwhile, Normani’s duet with Khalid returns to the top 10, and other songs continue to shift positions as streaming and sales shape the charts.

On the Hot 100 this week:

1 (1) Drake “In My Feelings” — 21K sales (-23%), 39.7M streams (-17%), 84M airplay impressions (-3%)
2 (2) Maroon 5 “Girls Like You” featuring Cardi B — 22K sales (-33%), 28.3M streams (-2%), 123.5M airplay impressions [#1] (-1%)

7 (4) 6ix9ine “FEFE” featuring Nicki Minaj
8 (9) Travis Scott “Sicko Mode”

10 (11) Khalid and Normani “Love Lies”

Drake’s continued dominance on the Hot 100 demonstrates the combined power of strong streaming numbers, digital sales and radio airplay. A song’s position on the Hot 100 reflects a weighted combination of these metrics, and “In My Feelings” remains a widespread presence across platforms. The song’s 10th week at number one highlights both the track’s enduring popularity and the dynamics of contemporary music consumption, where viral moments, playlist placements and social media trends can keep a hit in heavy rotation.

New to the top 10 is Kanye West and Lil Pump’s collaboration “I Love It,” which debuted with the week’s highest streaming total at 46.6 million on-demand streams. Debuts like this often reflect strong fan interest and promotional activity, and high streaming volumes can propel a new single quickly into the upper reaches of the chart.

Also notable this week, Maroon 5’s “Girls Like You” featuring Cardi B continues to perform strongly across radio and airplay, remaining among the most-listened-to tracks with a leading airplay footprint. Other rising songs such as Post Malone’s “Better Now” and Juice WRLD’s “Lucid Dreams” show how catalog and recent releases compete together in a crowded streaming landscape.

In album news, Paul McCartney has scored his first number one album in 36 years with Egypt Station. That release is credited with 153,000 equivalent album units for the week, including 147,000 in traditional album sales. This marks the eighth time McCartney has topped Billboard’s album chart, but uniquely this is the first time he has debuted at number one. This achievement underscores McCartney’s enduring appeal across generations and the continued relevance of veteran artists in today’s marketplace.

Separately, Billboard reports that Lauren Daigle has achieved the largest sales week for a Christian music release in nearly nine years, with her album Look Up Child opening with 115,000 equivalent album units. Daigle, who once auditioned for American Idol, represents a crossover success story within the Christian music genre: strong sales and visibility on mainstream charts reflect both a growing audience for contemporary Christian artists and the importance of broad promotion and streaming availability.

These chart developments illustrate how multiple factors—streaming totals, radio airplay, and album sales—combine to determine weekly rankings. Established superstars like Drake and Paul McCartney continue to perform at the top, while new releases and breakout Christian and crossover records signal a diverse and evolving music landscape. As the charts shift week to week, the interplay between viral moments, sustained radio support and album consumption remains central to who climbs and who sustains positions on Billboard’s rankings.
