April 15, 20187 yr I really liked 'Headlines' when I was younger and learnt all the words. :lol: In fairness the whole Top 10 is incredible, so don't mind who wins. 'Over' is underrated though and I do see the 'God's Plan' resemblance.
April 17, 20187 yr Author 3. One Dance (feat. Wizkid & Kyla) [8.66] -OEVZ_tEBuk *No official audio exists on YT Votes: 21 High: 11 (danG) Low: 6 (Dircadirca, gavindeejay, Joe) 4. Headlines [8.63] cimoNqiulUE Votes: 19 High: 10 (Bré, Riser, Theo, Tombo) Low: 6 (Jack, Tawdry Hepburn) Outperforming seemingly a lot of expectations in the rate, we have the second single from 'Take Care' finishing in 4th. It was in fact not a huge commercial success by Drizzy's illustrious standards, missing the top 10 in US & the top 40 altogether over here however it certainly feels like one of his big hits when lined up against the rest. It's pretty signature Drake from the production to the rapping & isn't one of my absolute highlights from him but it's still a great track all the same. Narrowly edging out a closely fought 3-way battle for the bronze medal is of course, the one & only, 'One Dance'. Released from fourth studio album 'Views' & now one of the biggest songs of the modern era this mammoth track topped the Billboard 100 for 10 weeks & even more impressively the UK Charts for a staggering 15 consecutive, the likes of which we may never see again thanks to the introduction of ACR. There isn't much more needed to be said here other than "Baby... I like your style!" So that means we are down to the final 2! They both finished far, far ahead of the rest & with only a 0.3 score difference but which one will prevail? Find Your Love Vs Take Care (feat. Rihanna)
April 18, 20187 yr Find Your Love to win! Great top 5, One Dance is still a bop. I think it helps that it didn't really feel overplayed despite being #1 for SO long.
April 18, 20187 yr 'Find Your Love' to win out of those two, but they were the two weakest songs in the top 7 oops. Really surprised that 'One Dance' has come that high as well, BuzzJack weren't exactly kind to it and it wasn't that long ago :lol:
April 22, 20187 yr Author And I can now present... 1. Take Care (feat. Rihanna) [9.68] -zzP29emgpg Votes: 21 High: 11 (Cqmerqn, Dexton, Jack, Mack, Tawdry Hepburn) Low: 7 (Bré, Dircadirca) 2. Find Your Love [9.38] Xyv4Bjja8yc Votes: 18 High: 11 (Riser) Low: 7.5 (Davidson) So valiantly finishing runner-up is Drake's second single from debut album 'Thank Me Later'. It was his first UK top 40 single, peaking at #24 but fared even better in the US reaching the Billboard 100 top 5. This is/was one of my favourite songs from 2010 and always reminds me of what a great summer that was. It was the also the song that properly turned me into a big fan of his style of R&B and that has never changed since! It received the highest, lowest score of the round & comfortably finishes top of all his non-featurings. However nothing was going to topple the monster that is 'Take Care'. The title track from his second studio album, it saw him pair up again with R&B Queen Rihanna but rather unlike 'What's My Name' it was a much more mellow number that has fully blossomed into an all-time fave of mine & the forum's alike. With Jamie xx on production duties & featuring heavy sampling of the Gil Scott-Heron piece 'I'll Take Care Of You' it was yet another commercial success for the rapper, reaching the top 10 on both sides of the Atlantic. It received the most 11's in the rate & only 2 scores lower than a 9. With an extremely impressive final average of 9.68, I hereby declare that 'Take Care' is Buzzjack's number 1 Drake single! Thank you very much to the other 20 participants in this rate & I hope you have enjoyed this countdown! Stay tuned as later I'll be revealing the Forum's biggest Drake 'stan' (allow me once the use of this horror word :kink:)
April 22, 20187 yr Take Care was obvs gonna win :P It deserves to win too! It’s such a tune and remains one of my Drake faves to this day! Nice For What is high on my list now but I don’t think he’ll ever topple Take Care :wub: Thanks for hosting! :heart: Surprised to see One Dance so high too but I’m not complaining :kink:
April 22, 20187 yr Lol at me giving 'Take Care' its lowest score *_* disappointing but expected winner. I muuuch prefer the Jamie xx/Gil Scott-Heron 'original'. Thanks for running this anyway Dobbo!
