Two new Sony releases are duking it out for the top spot on our next chart. Columbia’s Tyler, The Creator currently enjoys the advantage over We The Best/Epic’s DJ Khaled. Tyler’s “Earfquake” is the #1 track at Spotify U.S. and Apple Music, while Khaled has six tracks on the latter service’s Top 10, including the #2 and #3 songs. Here’s what the state of play looks like: Tyler, The Creator (Columbia) 145-170k total activity, 45-65k album DJ Khaled (We The Best/Epic) 110-135k, 20-30k You’ll notice lots of Apple real estate devoted to Khaled, whose new Father of Asahd set features an array of guest stars. His highest-streaming tracks so far are “Wish Wish” f/Cardi B & 21 Savage and “Higher” f/John Legend and the late Nipsey Hussle. Another track, “Just Us” f/SZA (currently Top 10 at Apple), has just gone to radio. This is Khaled’s highest-charting song at Spotify U.S., at #36. Tyler’s IGOR album has another track in the Spotify Top 10 (“I Think” at #8) and a gaggle of songs bubbling just under the Top 15. “Earfquake” is also Top 10 on the Spot’s Global chart. Khaled and Tyler have the #1 and #2 spots, respectively, on the iTunes album chart. None of their tracks are in the Top 10 there. How will this grudge match evolve in the coming days? Stay tuned. hitsdailydouble.com/news&id=316474&title=TYLER-VS.-KHALED%3A-SONY%27S-TITLE-BOUT

The lack of support of DJ Khaled on Spotify compared to Tyler is interesting. On Spotify, Khaled's album is almost total bomb.

I still gotta ask, when did Lil Nas X say he was gay? And when did Tyler say he was gay? Seriously? LMFAO. The Man has referred to himself as “Queer” several times and has LITERALLY spoken about his love for “soft, feminine twinks” also. If you’re an LGBT individual and follow Hip-Hop/Hipster culture this is very well known.

The Lil Nas X thing might need clarification, but yeah Tyler has come out as bisexual.

He could be just liking them for the sake of doing so anyway. He is a big troll, after all. And "LGBT" could mean he's also bisexual. Bisexual isn't gay. Or hell, trans, I guess.

What? You call what he’s wearing “just feminine”? What Heterosexual, Black, Male Rapper from the South would EVER dress in that manner? Much less pose in that manner also? Even the slightly “camp” rappers aka. Lil Uzi Vert, Machine Gun Kelly (who is part of the LGBT community) etc. have never worn something like this. You want reciepts... Search Twitter Prior to OTR and him gaining popularity he was far more open, hence why he’s deleted old accounts but pictures and tweets have been saved

I thought we were supposed to be rid of these gender norms. No matter how feminine a guy is, that doesn't mean they're gay. Even straight drag queens exist. People should be allowed to present themselves how they want without people telling them they're gay because of it. "You want receipts, search Twitter" is akin to telling people to "do your own research" because you can't prove your own claims.

I could care less what you think my saying is ‘akin’ too. This Black Man (a Rapper at that) from the South is openly/publicly wearing a backless, kriss-kross strapped, vest with open-toed sandals, a clutch bag and painted hand nails and toenails, posing in a manner where all the attention is on his ass, and you somehow want to believe that he’s “straight” because you can’t find any evidence stating or showcasing otherwise? Sweet. Do you. LMAO.

Sweet. Do you. LMAO. You're strawmanning. I never said he was straight. However, the only person who can say he is gay is him. It doesn't matter how he presents. Your claim is speculation. Nothing more. I do not have the burden of proof, cause I am not making a claim. You are. Find me a tweet like Tyler, The Creator's I posted in this very thread. That's evidence.

Anything that keeps DJ Khaled from #1. I heard I Love You So Much at the mall today and I was reminded that it's the biggest piece of audio shit to come out of the 2010s. Good lord, what an awful song.

It’s basically him masturbating over how much he loves his son before Chance The Rapper pops in to sing his ABCs.

Carly Rae Jepsen is actually trending up? Not by much, but that's a thousand+ SPS units up from her last album. Interesting.
