If Drake made this EXACT same song, he wouldn't get this kind of airplay, lol. Okay I've agreed with everything you mentioned on the topic so far, but this comment seems out of place. First of all, huge first updates are typically because of radio deals (I'm assuming this one had one, but someone correct me if I'm wrong), so if Drake launched this song on pop with a deal, it'd probably do about this well, give or take a couple hundred. Second, Drake hasn't catered to pop in the same way Post has. I mean Post has five straight Top 5s in just over a year, he's gonna get interest on the format. Drake's Scorpion hits certainly did very well on the format for the type of song that they are (when you compare them to his previous pop hits, they are significantly more hip-hop oriented), but they aren't as pop friendly as Post's recent string of hits. I only mention this because he has made songs that cater to pop before, so it just doesn't seem to be his focus right now. And finally, Drake is such a weird choice to pick, because I'd agree with you about literally ANY other rapper lol. Drake actually has garnered quite a bit of credit on the format, so if any hip-hop artist other than Post could pull this debut, it's him. WRONG. God's Plan is a song that would work PERFECTLY on Pop radio if Post Malone released it. There's no cursing, Drake croon-raps throughout the song and it's short and sweet. God's Plan spent 10 straight weeks at #1 before before it snuck into the top 10 at Pop. If Post Malone made that song, it would have reached #1 by then. Post Malone released Wow. A song that has loud drums and is in NO WAY a Pop song, regardless of him crooning his verses, yet it reached #1. Drake drops that song and Pop radio isn't touching it with a ten foot pole. Drake has made several Pop hits in his career that haven't done anything on Pop radio. Post Malone will rap about cocaine and drugs on his songs that have tons of rap elements in their structure and production, but they work on Pop radio because he's a White artist. Same way G-Eazy can release a straight rap song, throw some White singer on the hook and reach #1 on Pop radio. A Black artist isn't doing that. It's entirely because of the artist Post Malone is and not because of the kind of music he makes that makes his songs reach peak positions on Pop radio. Rolling Stone wrote several articles about this last year so even the industry sees the racism in the Pop radio format.

Drake is even bigger POP star than Post Malone tbf. "Pop star" is more than doing well on just a radio format. Rihanna is a pop star too despite not having #1 hits in one particular format (any more). Doing well on the Pop radio format matters. Drake being a bigger star than Post Malone has nothing to do with that. The most audience impressions a song that reaches #1 on Rhythmic or Urban radio can get is maybe 30-35 million audience impressions. A #1 song on Pop radio can get 2/3 times that amount so it matters A LOT. It's a huge reason why Post Malone songs have so much longevity on the charts. Even when they slow down on streams, radio keeps them up and all his recent hits have either reached #1 or the top 5. And Post Malone also does well on Rhythmic and Urban radio, too.

#1 on US iTunes #1 on Spotify US #1 on Apple Music US
Sucks that the video is now restricted, but this should debut in the top 5 EASILY. Probably in the top 3. Posty for the win yet again!

Young Thug is gonna ruin this song. His verses is really good. I actually like his verse on this song than the one on Havana. It gives the song character. It won't ruin the song.

Another Post Malone single, another hit. Such a consistent hitmaker.

Chances of hitting #1? It's leading in sales even if just slightly (well they're pretty even I guess with all of OTR's versions combined) Also got a good lead on Spotify and Apple music, YouTube not so much And well radio just begun I could see it happening, maybe if not next week

I see pop and rhythmic are feasting. I still can't get used to the new shiny production. Old version will forever remain superior!

Jesus Christ stop having a meltdown over drake
βWowβ has a catchy ass hook and is short, itβs perfect for pop. βGodβs Planβ is a normal length
βGodβs Planβ is a normal length, and I had to listen to it several times to realize that it has a structure and isnβt just one long verse
Post has more pop success because he makes straight up pop songs like βbetter nowβ, pop is his element & core format, canβt say the same for drake
Also, drake is f**king massive despite that and βGodβs Planβ was still a top 5 CHR hit....

You think it would have reached #1 on Pop radio if Drake made it? God's Plan is 3:19 long and is catchy and infectious, so?Β WRONG. Post Malone, a white and newer artist has more pop success over Drake, a black, more established artist who has been making pop hits for a decade because of race. Simple. Drake has made straight up pop ballads that pop radio didn't touch with a ten-foot pole so your points are all null and void, sorry. It's also worth it to note that I wasn't attacking Post Malone. It's not his fault that's he's white and doesn't get the same kind of bias on a radio format that's largely biased against black artists.Β The only reason I even brought up the point is that we all talk about Post Malone having longevity on the charts when a good reason why he does is because he does well on pop radio, the radio format that boasts the most audience impressions. So yes, Drake can go #1 on rhythmic/urban radio as many times as he wants. He still won't garner half of the audience impressions from BOTH formats as he would if he topped pop radio. That's why it sucks that Drake gets bias even as an established and successful act.
