Chance the Rapper Gets First No. 1 Single With DJ Khaled’s “I’m the One” Ft. Lil Wayne, Justin Bieber, Quavo

DJ Khaled’s latest single “I’m the One”—featuring Chance the Rapper, Lil Wayne, Justin Bieber, and Quavo from Migos—is the No. 1 song in America, as Billboard reports. The song sold 171,000 downloads and was streamed 53.9 million times. This marks not only Chance’s first No. 1 song, but his first entry in the Top 40 ever. “I’m the One” is set to appear on Khaled’s forthcoming album Grateful. He released his last album, Major Key, in 2016. Lil Wayne, Migos, and more will accompany DJ Khaled on his Summerfest Cruise, which takes place this summer. In a recent interview, Chance the Rapper discussed his plans to sell his upcoming debut album (as opposed to releasing streaming only mixtapes). “I kind of hate the fact that I can’t chart, really,” he said, “I can chart, but the way they have the streaming shit set up is weak as fuck. It’s unfair.”
