It's been two weeks since Drake released Scorpion and it's safe to say that "In My Feelings" will be dubbed an automatic anthem for summer 2018. The song skyrocketed after it's release, spawning a viral dance challenge that everyone from Will Smith to Ciara has been doing. Following the release of his latest album, he dominated the Billboard Hot 100 with seven tracks including "In My Feelings" which sat at number 6 while "Nice For What" reclaimed the number one spot, again. This week, "In My Feelings" climbs to the top of the Billboard Hot 100.

After two weeks of viral dance challenges, Drake's "In My Feelings" climbs up to the top of the Billboard Hot 100. The rapper now passes Diddy, Eminem and Ludacris for most number ones on the Billboard Hot 100 among rappers as he clocks in his sixth chart topping single. Drake's dominated the Billboard Hot 100 this year and "In My Feelings" now marks the third single off of Scorpion to makes its way to number one following "God's Plan" and "Nice For What." In addition, Drake now joins Justin Bieber, Usher and The Beatles as the only artists to replace their own singles at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 twice.

In addition to his latest feat on the Billboard Hot 100, Scorpion also just spent its second week atop the Billboard 200.
