Drake’s latest single, “NOKIA,” has surged to a new peak on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching the No. 3 spot on the chart dated April 12, 2025. This ascent marks a significant milestone for the track, which has been steadily gaining traction since its release.

The boost in chart position is largely attributed to the release of its IMAX-filmed music video on March 31, 2025. Directed by Theo Skudra, the black-and-white visual features a cameo by Canadian basketball star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and showcases Drake in a nostalgic, 90s-inspired setting. The video’s unique aesthetic and high production quality have sparked widespread discussion and engagement among fans and critics alike.

Industry observers note that “NOKIA” has been a standout from Drake’s collaborative album with PartyNextDoor, titled “$ome $exy $ongs 4 U.” The track’s infectious rhythm and catchy lyrics have resonated with listeners, contributing to its steady climb up the charts.

While “NOKIA” celebrates its new peak, it faces stiff competition at the top of the Billboard Hot 100. Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s collaboration, “Luther,” continues to hold the No. 1 position, maintaining its dominance in the charts.

As “NOKIA” continues to gain momentum, fans and industry insiders alike are watching closely to see if Drake can ascend even higher in the rankings in the coming weeks.
