Maybe it’s time to stop chasing hits and drop some classic music and it might resonate with the audience more

Even you can't be this obtuse surely

The time is over to force hits anyways lol just drop your project and be lucky if it hits the TikTok audience

Bad Bunny’s album smashed globally and was basically doing his 2022 numbers again, however in US it kinda tapered off after the first few weeks.

Manchild, Daisies, etc are hits with some staying power but they’re still doing low ass points compared to their previous hits from prior years

drake da bes

Yeah, because he dropped it in January. I'm pretty sure it would've been bigger in the US if he dropped it at the same time as UVST in 2022. He doesn't care anyways about our s***hole so he's fine

From a totally neutral standpoint here

If I was actually concerned about the charts from drakes perspective

I'd be worried about sabrina dropping just before September... and then the obvious bombshell dropping in October. There's a short window of time at the end of September where something could perhaps jump into the charts at a high point but after that it's probably toast till Christmas

I doubt he's dropping this year lol

I would personally be surprised, because I genuinely think the hype could his a peak in a couple of weeks with the right single, there's no point in dragging this rollout

Especially if there's a chance you could lose the case... best to get the album out early in case

drake can honestly drop whenever this year he just needs to make it like all artsy and we'll be able to deflect as a fanbase that charts dont matter and its about the substance in his work

It feels like he didn't know that Taylor is dropping this soon and now he will just move on and wait until next year

Sabrina is also dropping soon so I don't see it happening

Even Morgan Wallen hits this Summer are doing weak for his standard.

Last Night was #1 for 16 weeks in Summer 2023

I Had Some Help was #1, had record breaking streams, was doing 700 points in Summer 2024

He got a few songs charting high this Summer but none are dominating or pulling huge numbers.

Objectively the ecosystem has changed this year it really isn’t arguable lmao

It doesn't matter honestly, and I guarantee that every kendrick Stan here would actually want to hear a concise drake album with a decent amount of substance and effort

Charts literally don't matter to the music, but I sadly think drake sees the charts as a metric on the quality of music, which is why we get songs like 'which one' when he's 100% better off dropping 'energy' type songs back to back at the moment

Like, what legacy are you creating right now, is it just for numbers or do you really have something to say like you claim

Spotify doesn't disclose specifics of the purges

Name these many pop Drake hits you speak of.

Come on man

Don't even pretend you don't know what I'm on about you just look like a tool

The numbers don't change... so

drake pop hits = he sounds good while hes rapping

Of his top 5 most streamed songs on Spotify only number 2 "gods plan" could be considered rap

Other than:

One dance
Work
Hotline Bling
Passionfruit
In my feelings

If you don't think those are pop songs, then you are definitely being obtuse

• Daisies: holding strong
• Abracadabra: DWAS still killing s*** & the hook on Abracadabra is not strong, sounds too much like a recreation of her initial sound
• The Subway: great attempt at a hit, no notes
• Manchild: holding strong
• Outside: we’ve heard this song 84 times
• The Giver: Idk if her fans necessarily wanna hear this much of a Country-tinged sound from her
• DTMF: For a song that was buried in its’ album’s tracklist, it did okay on the Hot 100 overall, lasting 20 weeks. Keep in mind Bad Bunny’s never had a lead credit song spend more than 28 weeks on the chart, it’s not easy for an all-Spanish song to last super long there
• Ring Ring Ring: Badly written for broad commercial appeal, plus people think it’s a NOKIA clone for some reason
• Twilight Zone: Good attempt at a hit, but it also sounds like a pretty standard Ariana track

13/25 songs he made billion streams on Spotify are pop songs??

One Dance
Passionfruit
Work
Hotline Bling
In My Feelings
MIA
Nice For What
No Guidance
Hold, On We're Going Home
Toosie Slide
Too Good
WAIT FOR U
Fake Love

Pop rap is a thing that exists btw

I heard Nokia on the radio all the time lol

Spring 2026 mark my words
