Justin Timberlake lodged a top-played single with “Mirrors,” a Timbaland-produced cut off his comeback album The 20/20 Experience, while French Montana made a dent with Nicki Minaj on his new joint “Freaks.” Drake maintained a spot on the top 10 with “Started From the Bottom,” while Meek Mill’s freestyle over the beat secured him a placement as well.
