In a seeming case of chart déjà vu, Drake continues his reign on the R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, as “The Motto,” featuring Lil Wayne, rules at No. 1 for a second consecutive week.

The routine success of Drake leaves allow plenty of room to focus on a stellar feat accomplished by Beyoncé and her old-school-reminiscent “Love on Top.” The song earns the Greatest Gainer/Airplay award, lifting 4-2 (30 million audience impressions, up 22%, according to Nielsen BDS). Even better, “Love” becomes Queen Bey’s first No. 1 song on the Adult R&B radio tally, where it rises 2-1 in its 19th week (dethroning Robin Thicke’s “Love After War” after three weeks).

A veteran of charting on Adult R&B for close to 10 years as a soloist, Mrs. Carter was previously closest to the top in 2008, when “Until The End of Time,” with Justin Timberlake, reached No. 2. She also placed six songs on the chart in 1998-2005 as a member of Destiny’s Child, rising as high as No. 10 with 2005’s “Girl.”

Back at the R&B/Hip-Hop Songs ranch, Wale remains at No. 3 for a second week with “Lotus Flower Bomb,” featuring Miguel. The song has been cemented in the top five - including having logged five weeks at No. 1 - since the first week of December.

Drake’s “Make Me Proud,” featuring Nicki Minaj and the chart’s leader for three weeks before the rapper replaced himself at No. 1 with “The Motto,” drops 2-4. Read More?
