Which is why its a cheat code. Artists that are "smaller" than Drake don't have as big a fan base of his so of course he charts. Back in the days, people had to actually buy the singles for them to chart. Drake is such a big artist, he has everyone's ear and they'll give him a chance with his music. "Smaller" don't get that grace. "Fans"nowadays will listen to albums by Saba or Denzel Curry or whoever that is Drake or Future or Kendrick or Weekend only once. How can they chart? Streaming a cheat code. Not mad, its the game.
Doesn't seem like a cheat but an actual representation of what people are listening to.
Back then labels had even more power when it comes to physical copies and retailer relations. No way you could pop like that unless they paid for radio and pressed enough copies, so the upper echelon artists where even more protected and release dates were more calculated.
A Drake can get outsteamed and outperformed by a bunch of artists when they get popping and go viral, none of these niggas back then had a shot of outselling the Beatles, Elvis, Madonna etc. because the companies weren't even providing enough retail copies for an upset to happen.

Comparing pre streaming numbers with post streaming numbers is juvenile stuff cmon guys
The numbers from before 2016 are there own thing, the numbers post 2016 are a totally new era in music that we can't compare with the old era. Every single these days can and SHOULD be a top 10 hit if you are a popular artist. Non singles weren't even eligible until the late 80s. NIP wasn't even charting in the top 3. Thats NIP...a song that would probably be #1 for a few months during this era lol

That’ll be crazy if Barbs went all out this time and still can’t give her a solo number 1.
And what’s the point of going that hard for a number 1 just to have it do like a -30 the next week or some s*** lol.
The crazy thing is he already did a full arena tour this year.
He said let me do another tour in stadiums this time
