Drake, Wizkid & Kyla With ‘One Dance’ – Number 1 On The Charts 

 
It’s been a long time coming, but Drake has finally hit the Number 1 spot on the Official Singles Chart as a lead artist.

Previously hitting the helm of as a guest on Rihanna’s What’s My Name in 2011, One Dance jumped 20 places from last week, achieving combined sales of 72,000 copies. The track is taken from the rapper’s fourth studio album Views from the 6, due to be released on April 29th.
Despite reaching Number 1, One Dance is in fact the tenth most streamed track of the week, due to the fact it was only available on Apple Music for the first half of the sales window. Featuring Wizkid and Kyla, the song is the first Number 1 of 2016 to feature a female – One Dance samples Kyla’s 2009 single Do You Mind?.

Drake is the third Canadian artist this year to score a Number 1 single, following Justin Bieber and Shawn Mendes. The only other time this has ever happened was in 2014, when DVBBS, Keisza and MAGIC! scored chart toppers.

[News] Anthony Joshua takes the title of world Heavyweight champion in just two rounds

Anthony Joshua says the British public's desire to see him fight Tyson Fury means it will take place

Anthony Joshua stopped Charles Martin in two rounds at London’s O2 Arena to claim the IBF heavyweight title in only his 16th professional fight.

The Briton floored his American opponent with a peach of a right-hand counter and after Martin was knocked down again, the referee called a halt.

The 26-year-old is his country’s sixth bona fide heavyweight world champion.

Joshua is also just the fourth man to win a pro heavyweight world title while still a reigning Olympic champion.

And he is the first Briton to win both the super-heavyweight Olympic gold and a version of the world heavyweight title – London-born Lennox Lewis was fighting for Canada when he won the 1988 Olympic super-heavyweight title in Seoul.

Listen to BBC Radio 5 live’s Mike Costello describe the closing moments of the fight

Joshua’s victory now brings a super-fight against fellow Briton and WBA and WBO champion Tyson Fury a step closer.

Champion Martin, who was making the first defence of the title he won in January, entered the ring wearing a tall crown, a fur-trimmed, velvet cape and a smile as broad as his shoulders. But the smile soon disappeared.

Some thought previously unbeaten Martin, 29, would trouble Joshua with his southpaw stance – he was the first left-hander Joshua had faced in the paid ranks – but he barely threw a punch in anger.
