  Sia’s ‘Cheap Thrills’ which featured Sean Paul, replaces Drake’s ‘Once Dance’ on Billboard Hot 100 (dated August 6) after ten weeks at the top spot according to Billboard.

  ‘Cheap Thrills’ rose 3-1 to become Sia’s first Hot 100 no., Paul earns his fourth topper and first in more than 10 years.

  ‘Cheap Thrills’ released on Monkey Puzzle/RCA Records, and from Sia’s album This Is Acting, becomes the 1,056th No. 1 in the Hot 100’s history.

  While it’s Sia’s first No. 1 as an artist, she previously reigned as a writer, having co-written Rihanna’s ‘Diamonds’ which led for three weeks in 2012. Meanwhile, ‘Cheap Thrills’ was intended to be recorded by Rihanna for her ‘Anti’ album, but, as fortune would have it, Sia wound up recording it herself.

  Drake’s ‘One Dance’ featuring WizKid and Kyla, which led the Hot 100 for 10 weeks, marking both the longest-leading No. 1 of 2016 and of Drake’s career.
