Drake’s new album For All the Dogs is just around the corner, and he’s doing a pretty great job teasing it. “Slime You Out” ft. SZA was released as the latest single from this highly-anticipated record, and it didn’t take it long to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

With 32.6 million streams, 5.2 million radio airplay audience impressions, and 2,000 downloads, “Slime You Out” easily debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart this week. This song has been released as the second single from Drake’s new album For All the Dogs, set to hit the shelves on October 6.

“Slime You Out” became Drake’s 12th song to reach this milestone, helping him tie with Madonna and The Supremes for the fifth-most leaders among all acts on the Hot 100. He also extended his record for most No. 1 debuts on the Billboard Hot 100 to eight.

The success of “Slime You Out” is also a huge deal for SZA, who also hit No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week with “Snooze”. “Slime You Out” is her second song to hit No. 1 after “Kill Bill”, and she’s currently the only artist to top the Billboard Hot 100 with multiple songs this year.
