Drake's One Dance edges closer to UK chart record

Drake has retained the UK number one spot for the 15th consecutive week.


His single One Dance is now only two weeks away from breaking the record for the longest uninterrupted reign at the top of the chart.

Bryan Adams's single Everything I Do (I Do It For You), which held the number one spot for 16 weeks in 1991, is the current record holder.

The last single to notch up 15 weeks at number one was Wet Wet Wet's Love Is All Around, released in 1994.

One Dance owes much of its continued success to its popularity on streaming sites.
The song received 4.33 million streams this week - equivalent to 43,300 sales.

It has also been boosted by its absence from YouTube, which has prompted music fans to download or stream the song in order to hear it.


Cover versions of the song are available to listen to on the video sharing website, but Drake's original version has yet to be uploaded by his official account.

Slavery: See How White Slave Traders Dehumanised Naked Black Slave Women

Image
Sexual assault of black female folks was paramount during the slave trade era as perpetrated by white people who degraded their Africans to assets rather than human beings.  Sexual assaults of female black slaves by white male plantation owners, their sons, brothers and other male acquaintances were heartlessly perpetrated unhindered in the 15th and 19th centuries before its abolition. Black women were technically degraded to objects for hard work and pleasure with no real value attached to their feelings. History recorded that black women were raped and dehumanized without fear of punishment. The reasons of their white owners couldn't be justified as they smelt of share hatred and xenophobia for their skin colour. Black men were also sexually abused by slaveholders, and sometimes, their wives were not spared from the ill-treatment as they worked tirelessly on farmlands with stipends that amounted to virtually nothing. The slave trade refers to the transatlantic tradi...
