All of Drake’s No. 1 Singles, Ranked From Worst to Best

Love him or hate him, you have to accept this: Drake has more No. 1 singles than Michael Jackson. A rapper has more pop singles than the King of Pop.

It’s a milestone that’s felt inevitable in the streaming age, but only came to fruition when his Iceman single, “Janice STFU” debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100 chart. The track marked his 15th to make the climb. Which means it’s a spot he’s more than a little familiar with.

Dating back to 2010, Drake has used guest appearances and solo singles to dominate the charts in comprehensive fashion. But which No. 1 single of his is the best? We figured it out below.

15 "Slime You Out" ft. SZA (2023)

Wasting a SZA feature for a song this mid is already a crime, but singing “Whips and chains like American slaves” is a cosmic injustice Kendrick had to make Drake answer for.

14 "Toosie Slide" (2020)

Considering it was the pandemic era, “Toosie Slide” was a little more fun than people want to admit. But it was also a painfully transparent attempt at TikTok virality, which keeps it all the way down here.

13 "First Person Shooter" ft. J. Cole (2023)

For all the hype, “First Person Shooter” is a cursed single that was already too gimmicky to live up to the hype it set for itself. It aged even worse after the events that unfolded months later, and even worse now that Drake revealed that J. Cole wouldn’t even return his post-"Like That” phone call.

12 "Way 2 Sexy" ft. Future & Young Thug (2021)

The Right Said Fred interpolation is very stupid. But the goofiness makes the hook stick a little more than it should and you’ll find yourself mumbling this under your breath.

11 "What's Next" (2021)

If “here, damn!” had an official soundtrack, it might be “What’s Next,” which sees Drake let loose predictable admissions like his annoying little brother just asked him 100 questions. Not one of his greatest songs, but still pretty good. Okay?

10 "Wait for U" ft. TEMS (Future, 2022)

Yes, the TEMS sample carries, no, that doesn’t mean Future and Drake aren’t surprisingly tender and nakedly honest for one of their best collabs.

9 "Jimmy Cooks" ft. 21 Savage (2022)

Just good ol’ fashioned, Christian American s—t talk from 21 Savage and Aubrey Graham. But in all seriousness, 21 is Drizzy’s most reliable rhyme partner, whose muted menace pairs nicely with the 6ix God’s gift for condescension. That, along with the beat switch and the fact that this one dodges formulaic commercial conventions, makes it a worthy No. 1.

8 "God's Plan" (2018)

It’s crazy to think Drake had his other two Scorpion No. 1’s in the cut when he dropped “God’s Plan,” but the low-key vibe gives it an immersive feel that sneaks into your mind like a troubling thought. Except it’s a pretty awesome one, with Drizzy’s calm chant being reassuring and entrancing. Why say a prayer when you can listen to “God’s Plan”?

7. "What's My Name?" ft. Rihanna (2010)

Drizzy’s first trip to the No. 1 spot wasn’t a solo one. For his very first journey to the top, he served up a playful guest verse for his eventual girlfriend, Rihanna. Here, Riri supplies a hook that’s a phonetic micro thrill and Drizzy lays down a verse that sounds like he’s… laying you down. As a whole, the track sounds like 2010 [non-derogatory].

6 "Janice STFU" (2026)

Lykke Li’s “I Follow Rivers” is an engrossing tale of irrepressible longing. The type of love that consumes your heart, mind and soul. “Janice STFU,” which brilliantly interpolates the track, is an incredibly petty, multi-directional diss track that’s sleek, stylish, and way more memorable than a track with “heat seats, baby” in its chorus deserves to be.

5 "One Dance" ft. WizKid & Kyla (2016)

You know the whole, “‘Drizzy is basically the Dora the Explorer of hip-hop” thing? I don’t want to say it started precisely here, but it kind of did. For this one, he dove into the world of Afrobeats and came back with a hit fit for dance floors across the globe. It’s warm, sensual, sweet, and very diasporic, all of which explains why it’s the type of song to turn one dance into several.

4 "Work" Rihanna ft. Drake

This Anti cut is easily the best collab Riri and Drizzy ever put together, with its dancehall-inflected soundscape, Drake’s cutesy bars along with Rihanna’s repetitive hook structure making every part of the track fun to shout out loud with your friends.

3 "In My Feelings" (2018)

On its face, “In My Feelings” sounds like a pathetic lullaby for simps. But people who use “simp” unironically shouldn't be paid attention to anyway. This is a casual lovers' anthem coated in affection and sweet melody. Yes, Drake sings it, but you could also see a talking lioness singing it to her sleeping cub in The Lion King 7. There’s earnestness and simplicity here that make it all perfectly universal; a constellation that represents Drake at his best.

2. “Sicko Mode” Travis Scott ft. Drake

If Travis Scott and Drake are ever to get cool again, maybe that reconciliation process will begin with them simply bonding over just how flawless “Sicko Mode” really is. With its beat switches, Drake’s relentless yet effortless taunts, and Scott’s off-kilter presence, this one was one of the most annoyingly ubiquitous singles of 2018. But the thing was, it was so damn good that it wasn’t actually that annoying.

1 "Nice for What" (2018)

That whole spring/summer 2018 felt like Murda Beatz couldn’t miss, and “Nice for What” was one of his most impressive shots. Drake helped him make it. For the track, which turns a longing Lauryn Hill sample into an electric New Orleans bounce party, Drake gasses the girls like they’re going through a bad breakup and no one will ever call them beautiful again. It could scan as pandering, but the lyrics are a perfectly broad and specific set that 1. Feels right for that particular situation and 2. Universal enough to be appropriate anywhere at any time. So basically, they’re Drake.
