God's Plan (song)

"God's Plan" is a song recorded by Canadian musician Drake.  It was the first single from his EP, Scary Hours (2018) and from his album, Scorpion (2018). The song entered at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. It stayed there for 11 weeks and became his fourth number-one hit.  He later broke a record when his song "Nice for What" also entered at the top, making Drake the only artist to replace their number-one entry with another number-one entry.

The song finished as the number-one song of 2018 in the United States.  It is only the third song that entered at number one and was at the top of the year-end charts in the US, after "Candle in the Wind 1997/Something About the Way You Look Tonight" by Elton John and "Shape of You" by Ed Sheeran.
