Can he make it? Drake is inching closer and closer to breaking a UK chart record.
The singer’s track One Dance only has to stay on top of the UK single’s chart for two more weeks before bursting through the record for longest consecutive reign at number one, BBC reports.
Currently, Bryan Adams’s 1991 hit Everything I Do (I Do For You) holds the record at 16 weeks. Drake has just started his 16th week in the lead.
The last track to make it to 15 weeks was Wet Wet Wet’s Love is All Around in 1994.
Drake’s song is not on YouTube, forcing fans to buy or stream the infectious track. Last week the single received 4.33 million streams. That alone is equivalent to 43,300 sales, BBC noted.
These next few weeks won’t be easy for Drake. Perfect Strangers by Jonas Blue ft. JP Cooper hovers in second place, chasing the number one spot.
Last week’s highest new entry was Katy Perry’s Rise, at number 25 – and the track is expected to climb up the charts fast.
Come on Drake – you can do it!
