I'm so glad that I'm not the only one that really digs these album takeovers! For some reason it's just so cathartic and inexplicably fun to watch a savage act to savage the stuffing out of the rest of the chart and shake the otherwise insipidly stable and predictable chart runs up to spades! It's almost like a wet dream to chart geeks! Can't wait to see which songs drop off and which songs hold on!

So sad to see Heathens go The first week without TOP since Stressed Out debut? The first week without Twenty One Pilots since "Stressed Out" reentered the Hot 100. I remembered the song debuting all the way back in spring 2015 and it left and reentered the chart a few times that same year before finally becoming a hit early in 2016. |

More Life >> Views so I'm fine with it Watching paint dry is more exciting than listening to more life. you're clearly catching the wrong stick here, you just hate Drake and his current success. your hate towards Drake's success leads you to deny the quality of the music. what better rap songs there are on the Hot 100 rn? except you actually think his songs are horrendous which I cannot see at all  |

Tbh Drake could make the most wonderful music ever recorded and I'd still be angry to see 25% of Hot 100 flooded with one artist's album tracks.

Keep forgetting Tunnel Vision exists, that song can gtfo out of the top ten let alone whole hot 100 and never come back
Also I'm not here for these big drops for Green Light, song deserves to be a major hit
Damn the GP making s**tty one-hit wonder artists like Kodak Black big but paying dust to the likes of Lorde :sip2:
RIP I Got You & Chantaje :'(

Yeah it is pretty terrible then, also i really don't like rap(except for kendrick, yelawolf& lupe). Drake isn't a rapper, he sings waaaaaaaay to much for that. |

Drizzy stay drizzing up and down the charts. He's welcome to do that year after year for me. There's plenty of other people to put out to pasture first like Sia and Drake ravaged the charts with a f**king playlist. Imagine if he had a full album. How is it not a full album? This as well. I don't see the point in the blabla about playlists and mixtapes and all that for the charts. Once it's made available for retail, it's essentially the same. The second you sell it, it's no longer a traditional mixtape. The charts are made to show commercially available product. To be fair, Views was hyped for possibly over 2 years before it actually came out (which isn't different from any of his previous "proper" albums aside from the extra long waiting period). Take Care had its title revealed over a year before it was revealed. Nothing Was The Same arrived in September 2013, but he started talking about in in Spring 2012 while on tour for TC. That's the only reason why the merely 7-9 month hype period for More Life didn't seem that strange regarding him. It's actually a simple strategy: you tell people you're working on something, they get interested. Props to them for being able to pull it off with gusto for a long time now. All the songs from this charted, and the only difference with a "proper" album (with a Friday release date) would be that all the songs would be higher, but with the rate that Spotify is still growing, whenever that happens, the impact will be giant if they do the same strategy again. I think that besides him, Taylor's the one to be in the position to do something similar to what Ed did in the UK, but I don't think Borchetta and her would consider it enough of a payoff on what she'd lose in album sales (i.e. I can't really see her putting her next album on Spotify the first week it's out. Maybe Apple Music, which will absolutely give a boost, but not to the same extent). |

"traditional mixtape"
jesus. am i that old? mixtapes used to literally mean a cassette tape you made with a mix of your favorite songs at the time.
that's a traditional mixtape.
any release that is a bunch of songs packaged together is an album. i don't get why there is any pretense around calling it something else.

It's a homograph; within Hip-Hop, "mixtape" has certain specific meanings, and it's not a tape you make for yourself or the person you're dating. The term in itself is more of a holdover from the 80s that they probably should have come up with a separate name for, but they never did. Generally, they're independent, free releases meant to showcase the artist, and a way to release more material than what most would allow under the constraints of a label (aka. a label can decide to not release your album because they're not satisfied, or it's too soon after the previous one, mixtapes avoid that entirely). Albums are label releases, and because mixtapes are not, the concerns over marketability, demographic appeals, potential singles, and all that aren't a major part of the equation. Mixtapes are a way for artists to show their true essence without those concerns when on a label, keep hold over their core audience, and naturally if it's someone who's unsigned, it could lead to opportunities. More Life and If You're... don't fit the traditional definitions of a mixtape because they were made available for retail, and as such, they also count towards his contract. Future's discography is an example of an artist who has continued to release mixtapes well after beginning to release albums through a label. |

I can't believe how quickly BB fell after peaking. Usually streaming keeps more of this meme-y hip hop songs alive for a while but that really hasn't been true lately (it's even more applicable with Juju, thank god) and I am okay with this.
Also chances for Party Monster and Better Man to make year end?

I don't think a casual Drake fan understands the difference between a Drake album and a Drake mixtape But The Fame Monster is a separate album right? When your fanbase/listening audience is as huge as Drake's, there isn't one specific type of casual fan. Those that are in tune with certain standards, consistencies, and customs of Hip-Hop, and who also like some Drizzy, get the difference between a mixtape and an album. If they happen to read about Aubrey, they'll know if it's a mixtape or album because it's stated in multiple releases, writings, and reviews. Now will there be numbers of Beckys who'll just be like "OMG nu Drake on Spotify!!! Lemme get some bubbles & candles!!1!" and leave it at that? Sure, but to separate those as the only tier of being a "casual" fan for such a huge act, especially today, is wrong. If and of itself I get that; it's about intent and the nuances of marketing and the like, as you said. But what is this "playlist" nonsense now?
So it's a mixtape that he doesn't want to call a mixtape essentially, partially onset with the self-knowledge that he's released a large amount of material, but still wants to make more music. Mixtapes wouldn't be what they are without the culture and common intention behind them; calling it a playlist doesn't really make it that different. If other people run with this and it becomes a thing with some distinction of its own (extremely unlikely), you could say that "playlists" are their own thing, but otherwise no, it's a mixtape. |

I meant becoming a thing more as in others also doing projects and calling them "playlists", hence the analogy of why mixtapes are what they are. The "worldly" feel, and relative looseness could be a factor I suppose, but again right now it's nothing more than this current project, which is essentially a mixtape under a different name. |

I refuse to believe that Passionfruit is not a well crafted and deeply thought pop single from a parent album called More Life.
