I mean, have chart records based on initial hype weeks ever been particularly meritorious? Oasis sold 400,000 copies of Be Here Now in one day in the UK just because they were Oasis, even though no one ever wants to listen to the album because it blows. *NSYNC sold 2.4 million copies of "No Strings Attached" on opening week in the US because they were *NSYNC. Ed Sheeran had his entire album in the top 20 singles chart because he was Ed Sheeran. Drake is pulling these records because he's Drake, that's all there is to it.

 

That all being said, I'd be interested in how the people who are naturally consuming Drake's material feel about it in the long run. I see Kanye fans talking in reverence about songs like "Runaway" and "Ultralight Beam" far more than some of his bigger hits, but to someone outside of the scope, those songs are just redundant fodder that charted as high as they did on his name alone, and left no lasting impression. In terms of "Scorpion", I'd like to see the same for "Mob Ties" or "Summer Games", two different sides of the Drake coin that accomplish their goals very well.

I just feel all these records of his are so inflated.

 

I don't hate on him nor do I care for him (and one might say what am I doing here lol) but seriously you just can't make comparisons of those records with let's say ''The last album to hold seven top 10 hits was 'Rhythm Nation 1814' by Janet Jackson''.

 

How well his album will be remembered let's say in 30 years time?!

 

THIS

 

He is a corporate product with no talent and his albums are the same. One good thing about him: he is a perfect case study for mass brainwashing.

Drake did a Fire in the Booth last night!

 

Who is that host and why is he constantly yelling and making annoying sound effects

He's Charlie Sloth, who somehow has a show on Radio 1 on weekday evenings. I have no idea why he does those sounds but I guess he's just excited.

Charlie Sloth - he's the 'main' radio presenter for Radio 1Xtra.

'In My Feelings' up to #1 on US Billboard and #1 in the UK midweek chart. Going to be massssssssssive.

In My Feelings is actually one of the worst songs on the album imo, but this always happens with his big hits (e.g. One Dance)

"In My Feelings" breaks the all-time US single week streaming record (116.2 million).

 

Another week, another record broken. KING.

yes KING *.* Keep those haters pressed *.*

I wonder if Dont Matter To Me could’ve been a #1 if it was released a week before the album, it probably wouldve spent a second week with bonus album streams too.

That's a good shout, I think it easily could have done. It deserves to be a number one and I think it's too late now.

 

Easily has another few weeks at #1. Would say either this or One Kiss is song of the summer!

Video also for 'Nonstop' was released as well:

 

4 weeks at #1 for 'In My Feelings', yet another hit for Drake for him.

Apparently the Michael Jackson collab has been announced as the next single.

Yes, seems pretty much confirmed that Don't Matter To Me will be the next single.

 

 

This is straight up BOPS

 

he’s the king of his genre for me.

 

Forgot how good this actually was until I listened again earlier on.
