His record-breaking run, which began on 3 October 2015 when "Hotline Bling" climbed to No.9, also included the hits "Summer Sixteen" (Hot 100 debut at No.6 on 20 February 2016) and "One Dance" (Top 10 debut on 7 May 2016), the 10-week chart-topper that maintained Drake's Top 10 streak until it fell to No.11 on the chart dated 24 September 2016.
