Rihanna & Drake’s “Work” Tops Rhythmic, Urban Airplay Charts For 5th Straight Week

Def Jam may have serviced two new Rihanna singles to radio this week, but the reign of “Work (featuring Drake)” is not yet over. The song earns a fifth straight week atop the Mediabase rhythmic and urban airplay charts.

The March 27-April 2 tracking week only marked its tenth week on each chart, which means “Work” has spent half its chart tenure in the #1 position.

This week’s rhythmic victory comes courtesy a weekly spin count of ~6,978. While down 86 from last week’s count, the tally keeps “Work” more than 2200 spins ahead of the competition.

G-Eazy x Bebe Rexha’s “Me, Myself & I,” which holds at #2 this week, received ~4,748 plays during the official tracking week (-553).

Up one place, Chris Brown’s “Back To Sleep” earns #3 on the strength of ~4,485 weekly spins (+225). Also up one place each, Jeremih’s “oui” (~4,433, +216) and Belly’s “Might Not (featuring The Weeknd)” (~4,274, +337) respectively take #4 and #5.

On the urban front, “Work” leads with a weekly spin count of ~5,415 (+16). Jeremih’s “oui” holds at #2 with ~4,138 (+127), while Luke Nasty’s “Might Be” rises one place to #3 courtesy ~3,877 weekly plays (+118).
