Chart News: Drake first artist this century to double the double.

iHype.

One Dance is #1 in US/UK this week, Views is #1 in US/UK this week.
Two weeks ago, One Dance was #1 in US/UK and Views was also #1 in US/UK.

No other artist has went #1 in US/UK with a song & album at the same time twice in this century.

The last time it happened was in 1983, with Men At Work. It's happened 5 times: The Beatles (1963), Simon & Garfunkel (1968), Rod Stewart (1971), Men at Work (1983), and Drake (2016)

EDIT: UK's Official Charts published article on it today.

Quote:

Drake's world domination shows little sign of slowing down as he achieves a rare feat on the UK and US charts this week.

Having topped both the Official Singles and Album Charts and Billboard charts with One Dance and Views earlier this month, the rapper has managed to repeat the trick on both sides of the Atlantic this week - making him the first act to twice score the chart double in the UK and US this century.

Landing a Number 1 single and album in the UK and US simultaneously is a rarely-seen feat. As well as Drake, four albums have topped both the Official Albums Chart and Billboard 200 this year: Beyonce's Lemonade, Zayn's Mind Of Mine, The 1975's I Like It When You Sleep... and David Bowie's Blackstar - but none of them managed to land a chart-topping single in the same week.

Nope.

Rolling in the Deep & Set Fire to the Rain didn't go #1 in UK.

Someone Like You was the only single from 21 era to go #1 in both UK/US. Except it went #1 in UK almost six months earlier, so it didn't happen at the same time.

Hello also spent 3 weeks at #1 UK, and left from #1 when her album dropped so she was never able to have a #1 album & #1 single at the same time during 25 era.

Sorry brah. Unless 2003 is not in this century that's not true.
The song below (and the parent album) SIMULTANEOUSLY topped charts in both the UK and US for a week. Bey is first... but congrats to Drake. #BlackExcellence

OP says single and album to top US & UK chart at the same time multiple weeks. Dangerously in Love only spent 1 week #1 in US.

So no, she wasn't the first to achieve this.
