Drake is no stranger to debuting at No. 1s on the Billboard charts, and his latest smash adds several more winners to his already-historic tally.
The rapper has been one of the most successful names in American music for more than a decade, and he often launches new cuts directly in the top spot. That is true again this frame with “Which One,” his new collaboration with U.K. star Central Cee. While it misses one major throne by a single spot, it still opens as a champion on multiple lists.
Three New No. 1s for “Which One”
“Which One” starts at No. 1 on R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs, Rap Streaming Songs, and Rap Digital Song Sales charts this week. The track is a major smash on streaming platforms – which is a common occurrence for the Canadian hip-hop talent – and even a bestseller, though only when looking specifically at rap.
Drake’s Career Totals Reach New Heights
As “Which One” arrives, Drake has now collected 27 No. 1s on the R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs chart, 22 on the Rap Streaming Songs list, and 25 on the Rap Digital Song Sales tally. On each roster, he has earned well over 120 top 10s — a feat no other rapper has matched.
“Which One” Opens High on Other Rankings
Beyond its trio of debuts at No. 1, “Which One” enters inside the top 10 on several other Billboard tallies. The cut opens at No. 8 on the Streaming Songs chart, No. 3 on both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales lists, and in the runner-up spot on the Hot Rap Songs roster. On that last ranking, Drake is held at bay by Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther,” which extends its run as the longest leader in the chart’s history.
Another Hot 100 Win for Drake
On the all-genre Hot 100, “Which One” begins at No. 23, marking Drake’s three-hundred-and-sixtieth career entry. That is significantly more than any other artist has managed, and he extends his lead over every other artist yet again. The collaboration also earns a quick start on the Rap Airplay chart, beginning its time at No. 25.
Following What Did I Miss?”
The new cut comes just a month after Drake’s solo single “What Did I Miss?,” which is dipping on most lists but still climbing to new highs on the Radio Songs, R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, and Rap Airplay charts. Both tracks are expected to be featured on his upcoming album Iceman, which is rumored to be released later this year.
A Shift Back to Rap on “Which One”
Earlier in 2025, Drake teamed with PartyNextDoor on a joint project heavy on R&B-leaning tracks titled Some Sexy Songs 4 U. “Which One” brings him back to a more assertive rap style, pairing his own verses with Cee’s in another team-up for the two.
