Drake's "Hotline Bling" Misses The Number One Spot On The Hot 100
another week.
After the endless outpouring of memes
following Drake's "Hotline Bling" video, it
seemed certain that Drake would finally have
his first number single on the Hot 100.
Unfortunately, that didn't happen, as Billboard
has announced that The Weeknd's "The Hills"
will take the top spot once again.
The deciding factor came with the streaming
platform. Had "Hotline Bling" been released on
VEVO rather than Apple Music, the streams of
the video would have been counted towards
its chart placement. Unfortunately, Apple does
not report its video streams to Nielsen
Soundscan at this time.
With Adele's new single released this week, it
seems that Drake may have missed his
chance at number one entirely. Perhaps
signing on with Apple Music does have its
disadvantages after all.
