Drake’s ‘Miss’ Hits No. 1 on Rhythmic Airplay Chart, Extending His Record

Drake wraps one of his fastest climbs to No. 1 on Billboard’s Rhythmic Airplay chart as “What Did I Miss?” tops the ranking dated Aug. 23, its sixth week on the list. The single rises a spot after a 13% surge in plays on U.S. panel-contributing rhythmic radio stations in the tracking week of Aug. 8-14, according to Luminate.

Drake extends his record Rhythmic Airplay No. 1 count to 42. It’s his third of 2025, following two-week champ “Nokia” in May and the one-week leader “Somebody Loves Me,” with PARTYNEXTDOOR in July.

The new chart-topper pads Drake’s substantial lead over all other acts for the most No. 1s on Rhythmic Airplay since the chart launched in October 1992. Here’s the current leaderboard:

42, Drake
17, Rihanna
16, The Weeknd
14, Chris Brown
13, Bruno Mars
13, Lil Wayne
13, Usher

As “What Did I Miss?” arrives at the summit in its sixth chart week, it caps one of Drake’s nine quickest trips to No. 1 among those 42 champs. It matches five other songs that needed mere six-week runs to the penthouse: through his feature on Rihanna’s “Work” and his own “One Dance,” featuring WizKid and Kyla, “Nice for What,” “Way 2 Sexy,” featuring Young Thug and Future, and “Rich Baby Daddy,” featuring Sexyy Red and SZA. The superstar’s “God’s Plan” and “Toosie Slide,” meanwhile, took just five weeks each to the top. His best sprint came via “In My Feelings,” which reigned in its fourth week on the chart.

Elsewhere, “What Did I Miss?” rises 3-2 on the audience-based Rap Airplay chart, through a 10% jump in listenership, and 8-6 on the plays-based Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart (up 9%).

Meanwhile, Drake’s eyeing another hit on Rhythmic Airplay. His collaboration with Central Cee, “Which One,” advances 29-23 in its second week on the chart, courtesy of a 49% week-over-week increase in plays.
