Breaking his tie with Justin Bieber, the 'God's Plan' hitmaker dethrones The Weeknd's 'Blinding Lights' on the Billboard countdown, and matches Mariah Carey's milestone in the mid-to-late 1990s.

AceShowbiz - Drake has broken chart records in the U.S., becoming the only male artist to score three number one debuts.
The rapper's "Toosie Slide" has entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number one, matching Mariah Carey's milestone in the mid-to-late 1990s.
"Toosie Slide" is Drake's seventh total Hot 100 chart-topper. It joins "God's Plan" and "Nice for What", which both debuted at number one in 2018.
It breaks a tie with Justin Bieber, who has two number one debuts to his name.
Britney Spears and Ariana Grande have also debuted two songs at the top of the Hot 100.
Drake's run of number ones began in 2010 with "What's My Name?" - the hit he recorded with Rihanna.
"Toosie Slide" success gives Drake his 50th week at the top of the Hot 100. Only Mariah Carey, Rihanna and The Beatles have spent more weeks at number one.
He's now just one top 10 hit behind Madonna, who has 38, and extends his record run of Hot 100 hits to 209.
The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights" drops to two on the new countdown, while Roddy Ricch's "The Box" also falls a spot to three.
Dua Lipa's "Don't Start Now" and Future's "Life Is Good", featuring Drake, complete the new top five.
Meanwhile, Post Malone has moved to within a week of matching the record for the longest Hot 100 top 10 run as "Circles" drops from four to six.
If he spends another week in the top flight, he'll match a record tie with himself - for "Sunflower (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse)", Maroon 5 ("Girls Like You"), and Ed Sheeran ("Shape of You"). Those three tracks all spent 33 weeks in the top 10.
