Ed Sheeran's 'Shape of You' Tops Hot 100; Drake Debuts Two in Top 10

 

Drake soars in with two debuts, both from his new album More Life: "Passionfruit," at No. 8, and "Portland," at No. 9. Drake is only the second artist to debut two songs in the Hot 100's top 10 simultaneously, following Sheeran, whose "Shape" and "Castle on the Hill" launched at Nos. 1 and 6, respectively, on the Jan. 28-dated chart.

"Passionfruit" and "Portland" both arrive driven primarily by streaming, with the former bowing at No. 4 on Streaming Songs and No. 1 on the On-Demand Streaming Songs chart (29.1 million U.S. streams, almost all via on-demand clicks). The latter launches at Nos. 5 and 2 on the lists (28.5 million U.S. streams; 27.3 million on-demand), respectively.

More Drake honors: With the debuts, Drake ups his count to 20 career Hot 100 top 10s, becoming the 17th artist in the chart's 58-year history to hit the mark (and tying the totals of Chicago, The Supremes and Taylor Swift). Madonna leads with 38 top 10s, followed by The Beatles (34), Rihanna (30) and Michael Jackson, the front-runner among solo males with 29.

Drake's two new Hot 100 top 10s up his count to 20 for his career as he becomes the 17th act to hit that milestone. (Madonna leads all acts with 38 top 10s.)

Drake's 'More Life' Bows at No. 1 on Billboard 200 & Sets Streaming Record

 

Drake scores his seventh No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and sets a new streaming record, as his More Life set bows atop the tally dated April 8.

The effort, which was released on March 18, earned 505,000 equivalent album units in the week ending March 23, according to Nielsen Music. That’s the biggest week for any album since Drake’s own Views launched with 1.04 million units on the list dated May 21, 2016.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new April 8, 2017-dated chart will be posted in full to Billboard’s websites on Tuesday, March 28.

Of More Life’s starting sum, a record 257,000 units were driven by streaming equivalent album units, equating to 384.8 million streams of songs from the 22-track album during the tracking frame (each unit equals 1,500 streams of songs from the album).

Drake’s seven No. 1s ties him with Kanye West and Eminem for the second-most No. 1s among hip-hop acts, trailing only Jay Z, with 13 leaders.
