4Batz & Drake’s ‘Act II’ Flies to No. 1 on Hot R&B Songs Chart


4Batz's new Drake-assisted "Act II: Date @ 8" remix sends the song to No. 1 on Hot R&B Songs, ending SZA's yearlong domination at the top spot.

In taking the summit, the new leader ends a historic run for SZA, who had reigned atop the chart for the last 53 weeks through four songs – “Kill Bill,” “Snooze,” a featured turn on Drake’s “Slime You Out” and “Saturn.” In the tracking week of March 8-14 for the multimetric Hot R&B Songs chart — which combines streaming, radio airplay and sales data — “Act II: Date @ 8” generated 19.9 million official U.S. streams, according to Luminate, a 187% burst from the week prior. The nearly tripled improvement shoots the track 6-1 on the R&B Streaming Songs chart, where it becomes 4Batz’s first champ on the list and Drake’s ninth.
