As Drake's "God's Plan" spends a fifth week atop the Billboard Hot 100 (dated March 3), the colossal hit joins rarefied air, becoming a smash so big that it flaunts more than twice as many Hot 100 chart points as its nearest competitor, the current No. 2, "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran. In essence, "Plan" is twice as popular as the No. 2 song of the week.

 

Only 20 songs (Nielsen Era) have run away with enough sales, airplay and, since 2012, streaming activity to rule with at least a two-to-one points lead.

 

 

Hot 100 number ones with at least twice as many points as the #2 song (via Billboard):

God's Plan (1 week with 2x, so far)

Look What You Made Me Do (1 week)

Shape Of You (1 week)

Hello (3 weeks)

Blurred Lines (2 weeks)

I'll Make Love To You (3 weeks)

I Will Always Love You (9 weeks)

tbh this doesn't sound as specific if you phrase it like the #1s that were twice as popular as the #2s on the BB Hot 100
