Fifteen years after its original release, Drake and Nicki Minaj’s “Up All Night” has officially reached #1 on US iTunes for the very first time.

The fan-favorite collaboration has seen a major resurgence, climbing to the top of the US iTunes chart more than a decade after it first dropped. While delayed chart success isn’t unheard of in the streaming era, a #1 debut this far removed from release is a rare and impressive feat — especially for a deep-cut track that wasn’t originally positioned as a major single.

The milestone also extends Nicki Minaj’s historic run on the platform, as she now holds the record for the most #1 songs in US iTunes history by a rapper, with 49 total chart-toppers. The achievement further cements her longevity and dominance across multiple eras of hip-hop, proving that her catalog continues to resonate with listeners years later.

For Drake and Nicki, “Up All Night” reaching #1 serves as a reminder of the lasting impact of their early collaborations and the nostalgia-driven power of fan engagement. In an era where music discovery constantly evolves, moments like this highlight how timeless records can still find new life — and new peaks — long after their release.
