Drake, 21 Savage 'Jimmy Cooks' Debuts Atop Billboard Hot 100, Bumps THIS Track to #2

Just like his eleventh studio album, Honestly, Nevermind, Drake also managed to debut atop the Billboard Hot 100 charts.

Drizzy's collaboration with 21 Savage, Jimmy Cooks, managed to score the top spot of the coveted chart, bumping one of this year's longest-reigning top spot takers.

But despite the earned success of Drake's album, some still consider the album one of his weakest.

Drake's 'Jimmy Cooks' His 11th Billboard Hot 100 #1

Coincidentally, on Drake's 11th studio album, Honestly, Nevermind, he also managed to score his 11th #1 Hot 100 track with Jimmy Cooks. This also marks 21 Savage's second Hot 100 #1.

Per Luminate, Jimmy Cooks garnered around 42.2 million streams on its opening week, including 3 million radio airplay impressions and over 6,000 downloads.

Consequently, Drake also holds the record of being the first male artist to concurrently holds the top spots of the Billboard 200 and the Billboard Hot 100 twice.

As of this writing, Drake also holds the throne on the Billboard Artists 100 charts, marking his 16th week to do this feat.

Drake has definitely put on some work this year as he is now tied with music icon Whitney Houston on having the same amount of Hot 100 #1 hits.

Both Drake and Houston have eleven hits that reached number one, trailing behind The Supremes and Madonna with twelve each. The Beatles top the bill with 20 #1 hits, Mariah Carey with 19, Rihanna with 14, and Michael Jackson with 13.

Billboard Hot 100 July 2 Charts

With Jimmy Cooks debuting at the top, it managed to bump off Harry Styles' As It Was to #2, after its seven consecutive weeks at the top. However, the song is still #1 on the Songs of the Summer charts.

Although First Class is still at the top of the Radio Songs chart, the Jack Harlow hit is now at #3 while Future's Wait for U drops at #4, and Lizzo's It's About Damn Time slips at #5.

Drake holds the sixth and seventh spot with Sticky and Falling Back, while Joji reaches a Hot 100 all-time high at #8 with Glimpse of Us.

Kate Bush took a nosedive to #9 for Running Up That Hill, although some expect it to ascend to greater heights again as Stranger Things Season 4 Volume 2 will be released this Friday, Jul. 1, 2022.

Glass Animals' Heat Waves is sitting at the edge of the Top 10. Elsewhere in the charts, Beyonce's lead single, Break My Soul, debuts at #15 with only three days of tracking.
