Rihanna & Drake’s “Work” Officially Claims #1 at Rhythmic, Urban Radio

In just its sixth week on both charts, Rihanna’s “Work (featuring Drake)” officially ascends to #1 on the Mediabase rhythmic and urban airplay listings.

It was last week’s #2 song at rhythmic and #3 song at urban.

“Work” received a format-leading ~6,441 rhythmic spins during the February 28-March 5 tracking week. Up 923 spins from last week’s count, the tally thrusts “Work” past G-Eazy x Bebe Rexha’s “Me, Myself & I.”

Flo Rida’s “My House” (#3, +2 | ~5,357, +643), Justin Bieber’s “Love Yourself” (#4, -1 | ~4,733, -157) and Yo Gotti’s “Down In The DM” (#5, +1 | ~4,471, +159) complete the Top 5 at rhythmic.

Rihanna’s tune concurrently received ~4,324 tracking week plays at urban (+405). It seizes the throne from Chris Brown’s “Back To Sleep,” which slips to #3 courtesy a spin count of ~3,937 (-39).

Up two places, Jeremih’s “oui” lands between the two songs at #2. It received ~3,979 weekly spins (+114).

Bryson Tiller’s “Don’t” (#4, -2 | ~3,702, -245) and Young Thug’s “Best Friend” (#5, +1 | ~3,530, +55) complete urban’s Top 5.
