On 30 May 2026, “Janice STFU” by Drake (Canada, b. Aubrey Drake Graham) became the 10th of his 14 US No.1s to debut at the top of the Billboard Hot 100. He had previously entered at No.1 with “God’s Plan” (3 February 2018), “Nice for What” (21 April 2018), “Toosie Slide” (18 April 2020), “What’s Next” (20 March 2021), “Way 2 Sexy” (18 September 2021), “Wait for U” (14 May 2022), “Jimmy Cooks” (2 July 2022), “Slime You Out” (30 September 2023) and “First Person Shooter” (21 October 2023).

Drake’s two closest rivals for the most US No.1 debuts both upped their tallies in June 2026, with Taylor Swift’s ninth No.1 start, “I Knew It, I Knew You”, edging her back ahead of Ariana Grande, whose eighth US No.1 debut arrived just a week earlier with “Hate that I Made You Love Me” on 13 June 2026.

“Janice STFU” was the 91st song to debut at No.1 in the Hot 100 era (since 4 August 1958). The first was Michael Jackson’s “You Are Not Alone” on 2 September 1995.

“What’s My Name?” and “Work”, both featuring Rihanna, “One Dance” (feat. Wizkid and Kyla) and “In My Feelings” are the four No.1 tracks that failed to take the Canadian superstar to the top of the Hot 100 in their debut weeks.
