Drake and Central Cee’s musical reunion is hitting in his home country.
The Canadian and British rappers' new track “Which One” debuts at No. 4 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100, dated August 9. The song arrives lower at No. 23 on the U.S. Hot 100, but it's a top 5 hit in Canada.
The track finds Drizzy in a position he’s familiar with — talking to the ladies. He singles out a potential love interest, letting her know she’s not like her friends and there’s something special about her that he sees.
“You’re not like the tings you’re around / You’re a real good girl, so I’m bringin’ you down / But come to the bed, I’ll fling you around,” Drake raps.

Cench takes the baton and uses the song title to ask a certain girl if she’s here for a good time or a long time. “God forbid a girl’s tryna have fun / I got X, if you wanna take drugs / You wanna have sex or do you wanna make love / Which one."
Last month, the Canada-U.K. link-up received a live debut when the duo performed the song during Drake’s night two set at Wireless Fest.Drake and Central Cee previously joined forces in 2023 when they hit the booth for their ferocious “On the Radar Freestyle,” which peaked at No. 45 on the Canadian Hot 100.
As he amps up the anticipation for his upcoming Iceman project, Drake has two more entries on the Canadian Hot 100 this week, including “What Did I Miss?” at No. 37 and “Nokia” at No. 46.
Meanwhile, Indian artist Faheem Abdullah notches his first song on the Canadian Hot 100, with “Saiyaara,” a track featured in the Bollywood movie musical of the same name. Released in early June, Abdullah’s rendition of the title track went viral online, amassing over five million views. Recently, the Kashmir-born singer signed with major Indian record label T-Series and is set to work on various upcoming projects.
Canadian artsts are having a good week on the chart. Justin Bieber’s “Daisies” notches a third week at No. 2, while fellow Ontario native The Weeknd rises 90-72, with “Sao Paulo” featuring Anitta. Josh Ross & Akon’s collab, “Drunk Right Now (Na Na Na)” climbs 87-75, and bbno$ goes up 13 spots to No. 84, after nearly leaving the charts last week. Alexander Stewart’s “His Problem Instead” re-enters the ranking at No. 95.
