The Little Mix song is great and will be fun to see it beat out Drake for that number 1.

Nothing notable this week. Drake is going to demolish Spotify this weekend.

On a normal week maybe Gaga or Little Mix would’ve been nice to root for but Drake is the biggest news of this week no doubt. At least he’s still dropping today for a full week but i don’t think 2 hours or even 2 days matter for how big this album is going to be.

Drake giving the spotlight to the other artists for 2 hours. What a kind man. 😊

Go ABBA! Obviously Drake is going to smash, but I'm curious to see if anything else will catch on, even in the Bubbling Under.

The more I think about it, the more I wonder if "In The Bible" is going to take more shots at Kanye to keep their beef going strong.

Imagine Dragons released their album this week as well. Probably not going to make much of an impact on the Hot 100, but neither will any of the other albums not by Drake mentioned in the thread so far. :kii:

88rising helped produce the album for “Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”, with the album mostly comprising of Asian artists. You should all check it out, some good songs on there.

Probably not going to make much of an impact on the Hot 100, but neither will any of the other albums not by Drake mentioned in the thread so far. Part of the reason I started doing the Notable Releases every week was to encourage people listen to other artists and not be boxed in with just what's charting. I'm well aware Charli, Little Simz, Little Mix, etc., none of them are going to make as big a splash as Drake. That said, I still think you should seek them out and give them a chance, perhaps even more so since they're likely to get overshadowed.

I look forward to your posts listing new releases. Saves me time having to deal with new music Friday playlists.

Well, it wasn't released on a Sunday, so it only misses out on 86 minutes of its streaming numbers.

No obvious pop hits from CLB going by a quick scan. But “No Friends In The Industry” was a standout.

I'm curious about that one, and even if I am reluctant to contribute to Drake's streaming numbers, that did sound like an interesting one to me.
Edit: After all, the "No New Friends" meme needs to be updated with another song that shows a spectacular lack of self-awareness.

LNCL isn't on the album after all then.
Dawn of Chromatica is full of bangers. Her best remix album by far.

Well after listening to most of CLB, I cannot think of one of these songs as singles 💀. The sub 4 minute songs are.... Bad and the good ones are damn near 5 minutes but it's only good for like 20%.
Whatever creative energy he had in 2018 with God's Plan, Nice For What (His magnum Opus) and In My Feelings is very much dead
It's definitely gonna pull heavy numbers but the longevity might not be there

CLB Quick review:
Champagne poetry: great intro - 8 Papis home - is dat nicki? - 7 Girls want girls: jst awful. Both sucked, Lil baby sucked more - 2 In da bible: nice - 7 Love all : liked Jay-Z verse - 6.5 Fair trade : they're right to promote this as a single (I can see this blowin up) Travis x Drake's undefeated 😄- 8 Way 2 sexy : The Hype song ( samples I'm too sexy by right said Fred) prolly da 2nd single down da line (has potential for big debut) - 7 TSU : okay-ish (great beat tho) - 5.5 N 2 Deep : 2nd half is 🔥- 7.5 Pipe down : liked it - 7.5 Yebbas heartbreak - sweet piece, no drake here 🤷 - 7 No friends in da industry : popstar 2.0 + a little no recover 😄 - 7.0 Knife talk : another potential big track, 21 is da game 🔥😅, this my track for foreseeable future - 7+ 2 ( bonus for makin my jam lol) 7am on bridle path : prolly the strongest track lyrically (+ Kanye diss) - 8.5 Race my mind : loved it, plz promote this (sounds like a big hit sitting) - 9 Fountains ft tems : meh - 4 Get along better : not feeling this one - 5 YOLT : stopped half-way ( then came back to hear Wayne, his verse is great but no way enough to save this)- 3 IMY2 : trippie song you can even imagine him singing instead of Cudi😅😅 - 7 Fin fans : good one - 7.5 The remorse : 50/50 - 5
Final - 6.6 (would've been way better if it's ~14 tracks max instead of filling hay into da mix)
Chart destruction inevitable, can see atleast 5 tracks having longer run too
