No\u00a0<em>incumbent<\/em>\u00a0No. 1 had earned such a triple since another smash involving Drake: Rihanna&#8217;s &#8220;Work,&#8221; featuring Drake, on March 12, 2016 (its second of nine weeks on top); like &#8220;Plan&#8221; this week, &#8220;Work&#8221; that frame surged after the release of its official video. Further, no song had scored such a hat trick in its\u00a0<em>fifth week at No. 1 or more<\/em>, as &#8220;Plan&#8221; does this week, since Robin Thicke&#8217;s &#8220;Blurred Lines,&#8221; featuring Pharrell and T.I., which did so in its ninth week on top (Aug. 17, 2013), the same frame that the song&#8217;s parent album of the same name launched at No. 1 on the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/billboard-200\">Billboard 200<\/a>\u00a0chart.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, another tie-in for &#8220;Plan&#8221; with Baauer&#8217;s &#8220;Shake&#8221;: &#8220;Plan&#8221; is the first song by a solo male since &#8220;Shake&#8221; to spend its first five weeks on the Hot 100 at No. 1 (with &#8220;Shake&#8221; having led for five total frames). Among all acts, &#8220;Plan&#8221; has spent the most weeks at No. 1 from its debut since Adele&#8217;s &#8220;Hello,&#8221; which led for its first 10 weeks in 2015-16.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Plan&#8221; concurrently notches a fifth week at No. 1 on both the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/r-b-hip-hop-songs\">Hot R&amp;B\/Hip-Hop Songs<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/rap-song\">Hot Rap Songs<\/a>\u00a0charts.<\/p>\n<p>Ed Sheeran&#8217;s &#8220;Perfect&#8221; holds at No. 2 on the Hot 100, after six weeks at No. 1, and rules Radio Songs for an eighth week (138 million, down 2 percent).<\/p>\n<p>Bruno Mars and Cardi B&#8217;s &#8220;Finesse&#8221; keeps at its No. 3 Hot 100 high and leads\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/r-and-b-songs\">Hot R&amp;B Songs<\/a>\u00a0for a seventh week.<\/p>\n<p>Camila Cabello&#8217;s &#8220;Havana,&#8221; featuring Young Thug, is likewise steady, at No. 4, after topping the Jan. 27-dated Hot 100.
