This week on the R&B/Hip Hop single sales chart, Drake does a double swoop at the top after taking control of the #1 and #2 spots for his singles “Pop Style and “One Dance” respectively. Elsewhere, an increase in sales for Desiigner’s “Panda” means he retains his position at #3 and lastly, both Rihanna and G-Eazy slip to #4 and #5 respectively as a result of Drake’s chart dominance.
