Will DJ Khaled ever have another top 10 hit as main artist?

[Harx]

Well "For Free" with Drake was close, peaking at #13. And "Do You Mind" is doing pretty good too, it has already reached top 20.

So do you think he will ever score a another top 10 hit?

[nick64]

Yes. I think he'll make a song with Drake, Lil Wayne, and Rick Ross and it will peak at #10. Just taking a shot in the dark but I think it'll be called... "I'm on One".

;)

As mentioned above, he did already have one. I don't think he'll have another one though.

Oops I didn't realize this. His only songs I've suspected to have peaked in the top 10 are I'm so hood, All I do is win and Hold you down but none of them had. To make this thread less awkward I'll change the poll to another top 10 hit.

As for another hit, I think it's definitely possible, almost likely, for a few reasons:

A) Khaled's current album is his biggest yet. Its three proper singles have all made the Top 40, the first time he's ever had more than two Top 40 hits from an album (and only the second he's had more than one). He has a lot of momentum to ride.
B) Khaled's rise as a social media presence did increase interest in him. The fad has mostly passed, but he did receive a raise in profile, which could be a factor in future releases.
C) The current environment fits viral urban hits well: "Black Beatles", "Juju on That Beat", "Broccoli", and "Caroline" make up 1/3 of the Top 12 currently, and previously this year we've had "Panda", "Jumpman", etc. If he gets the right artists and creates a song people really connect with, he can launch right back into the Top 10. "For Free" came incredibly close, and I think if it had a good guest verse in addition to Drake (from a J. Cole, Kendrick, etc), it could've done it.
D) Khaled isn't a traditional artist whose style risks fading. He's basically a glorified executive. As long as he keeps his excellent connections and puts the right people in a song, he can have a very long career that adjusts to whatever the current trends are.

Never thought I'd have that much to say about DJ Khaled, but here we are lol.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Do You Mind gets there. If not that then his next lead single could for sure.

[allow that]

This is funny now considering he had a #1 and a #2 in 2017.

Kind of crazy it look him this song to achieve this tbh. I guess he just needed the right features and a very hip hop friendly era.

Surprised he didn't release a third single.

[54generation]

yeah he probably will. having featured artists that are more relevant in this current era and he'll be okay :)

[Gary]

Yes he will be fine

[boysilver400]

I mean... ITO and Wild Thought were top 10 recently, so I think it's at least possible lol.

[Harx]

Guys just let this outdated thread die

Daddy slayed so hard last year. Once weight watchers turns him into a skinnylegend no one will be able to compete. The new pitbull!

[allow that]

Lol @ all the changed votes.

“no” was winning by a landslide when I came across this thread a couple of weeks ago.

[boysilver400]

Yeah I saw that recently

[Gary]

This is why old surveys threads should be locked or at least the survey part

[Harx]

Yep I'm locking it (too late but fuck it)

Can we now get this thread off its life support???

[jenglisbe]

Define "main artist." I don't consider him a 'main artist' on something like "Wild Thoughts."
