Drake Ties Michael Jackson’s Record With ‘Views’ & ‘One Dance’

Dr aire ke’s Wizkid and Kyla-assisted hit “One Dance” remains No. 1 on the Billboard Hot
100 for an eighth non-consecutive week. As reported yesterday, Views also sits atop the Billboard 200, marking its ninth consecutive week in that spot.

This puts the 6 God up there with Michael Jackson. Thanks to those distinctions, he ties MJ for “the longest-ever simultaneous domination” of both charts by a male artist, as per Billboard.

The records continue to pile up for Drake. With seven consecutive weeks atop the Hot 100, Drake also ties for “the longest consecutive control of the Hot 100 and Billboard 200 simultaneously among males.” This places him alongside the King of Pop, who did that in 1983 with “Billie Jean” and Thriller.

The last time any artist was able to achieve this feat was 1992-93 when Whitney Houston held 12 straight weeks at the top of the Hot 100 with “I Will Always Love You” and the Billboard 200 with The Bodyguard soundtrack.
Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” remains at No. 2 on the chart, Desiigner nabs the No. 4 slot with “Panda,” and Calvin Harris’ Rihanna-assisted “This Is What You Came For” rounds out the top 5. See the rest of this week’s top 10 below.

BILLBOARD HOT 100 TOP 10

1. Drake – “One Dance”

2. Justin Timberlake – “Can’t Stop the Feeling!”

3. The Chainsmokers feat. Daya – “Don’t Let Me Down”

4. Desiigner – “Panda”

5. Calvin Harris feat. Rihanna – “This is What You Came For”

6. Sia feat. Sean Paul – “Cheap Thrills”

7. Rihanna – “Needed Me”

8. Kent Jones – “Don’t Mind”

9. twenty one pilots – “Ride”

10. Fifth Harmony feat. Ty Dolla $ign – “Work from Home”

Actress Angry with Actor, Yul Edochie For Not Kissing Her

Nollywood actor Yul Chibuike Edochie, is tired of kissing ladies on set that he has to limit the kissing scenes he plays.A man’s dislike: another man’ mea
t. While most actors are looking forward to free kissing, Yul is no longer excited about it until he got into trouble for not kissing a particular actress.He said“At a point, I had to limit the kissing scenes I play.

 I know I did a lot of that while I was still young in the industry, but at the stage of my career, I reject a lot of roles thathas to do with kissing and romancing. I can do romance scenes for you, perfectly without kissing.

 I can act that I am madly in love with a girl, without getting so romantic with her.”He talked about the lady who was angry he didn’t kiss her“This is exactly what happens when you are not trained.

It has actually happened to me and caused lots of issues on set. I know lots of actresses look forward to kissing me on set.”He narrated his ordeal“This particular one, saw the script and was jumping that she was going to kiss ‘Yul Edochie’, but I was tired of the kissing thing and asked the director to allow me do it without the ‘kissing’. When the actress heard it, she waslike ‘I have kissed so….so and so person’, but won’t do the same to her. She flared up. It was quite funny and annoying too.”
