S THE WEEKND RECLAIMS THE NO.  1 SPOT ON THE BILLBOARD

Hot  100 with “Blinding Lights,” following a one-week interruption by

Drake’s “Toosie Slide,” singularly billed acts continue a notable run

atop the chart.

No duets or songs with features have led for 34 consecutive weeks,

dating to the start of Lizzo’s seven-week command with “Truth Hurts” on the

Sept.  7 , 2019 - dated survey. The streak, which also encompasses No.  1 s by Travis

Scott, Lewis Capaldi, Selena Gomez, Post Malone, Mariah Carey and Roddy Ricch,

is the longest since a 38 - week stretch (also including Carey) in 1997 - 98.

Further, 76 % of all Hot  100 top  10 s in the past 34 weeks belong to solo-credited

acts. In the prior 34 frames, only 50 % did.

While timing factors into the current trend (Future’s “Life Is Good,” featuring

Drake, peaked at No.  2 for eight weeks), Lizzo and another female rapper-singer

have played prominent parts: Doja Cat earns her first top five Hot  100 hit as “Say

So” (RCA Records) jumps from No.  8 to No.  .

RCA co-president Joe Riccitelli says the label’s A&R team isn’t necessarily

scaling back on features and that he values versatility: “From singing to rapping to

producing, these artists are multitalented.” —GARY TRUST
