^I doubt radio airplay will do much to help it, especially if it's only #519 in radio audience according to kworb. Its digital sales are probably just slightly better. It's mostly streaming that will keep it around if it does. It was #45 in Spotify's daily update. Signs was #27 for last week. It's not gaining there! I doubt Drake cares about his achievement though. He would have released something new already Anyone knows who is going to replace him for most consecutive weeks still charting? Lil Wayne is charting right now and he's the runner up for the record, but he didn't set it up to this week. Also drake clearly does care about billboard achievements, he called getting a number one on the chart the greater honor he could receive. |

I get it, but I feel like he missed out some chances like getting a longer amount time at #1 with One Dance if a video was released. I guess his strategy was to force people to stream it only on demand and make more $$$$? It was the first song to get 1B streams on spotify |

I guess his strategy was to force people to stream it only on demand and make more $$$$? It was the first song to get 1B streams on spotify I agree with the $ part. He (inadvertently) also gave up Hotline Bling #1 by making a $ apple music deal but u can argue that that deal has helped his chart success since (especially w/ one dance). If a music video had been released there is no way that it would have become the most streamed song on spotify. It wasn't even the most streamed song that year. Where I disagree is that I don't think a music video would have helped its chart run unless it was released at the end of its number one run (which almost never happens for long number ones, or any for that matter. some like panda but 2 weeks is why). He got very lucky weeks with almost no competition near the end of OD's run. |

They thought No frauds would be a big hit that would last 20 weeks into August but he put out signs thinking it would last a bit longer and it hasn't. I wouldn't be surprised if he got on a bodak yellow remix tbh. |

Drake is the king of not giving a fuck and still getting massive success. ALso, the king of saturation. Drake/label just release whatever and all the singles still do moderately enough success without hardly any promo, music videos, etc. i mean he had a big slot on a huge televised award show and didn't even perform a current single earlier this summer LOL |

Hence him being included. Can't believe he's finally not gonna be charting. :'( |

I guess my point is No frauds was supposed to be a hit and had it crossed 20 weeks it would be eligible to be recurrent this month. Throwing Signs out there is no different than other songs that were thrown out there with little to no promo. They were still getting radio spins and streams and with potential to continue his charting...it's just coming to an end. He wouldn't have this situation if No fraud was the hit they thought it would be. at minimum it would go recurrent this month but at maximum it could have still been in the top 50 until he had another song in the fall |

I think this is it guys. Unless Passionfruit can hold on, even then it only has one more week. I'll be pissed if he releases something in the next couple of weeks and ends up with a week or two gap. His team should have paid more attention.

SIgns was released because Luis Vuitton asked him to do a song for their fashion show, not because no frauds flopped. |

Drake Isn't on the Billboard Hot 100 for the First Time Since 2009
News
By Trevor Anderson | August 15, 2017 12:36 PM EDT
The record streak is over: Drake is absent from the Billboard Hot 100 for the very first time since his debut hit, "Best I Ever Had," debuted on the chart in 2009, ending an unprecedented run of 431 consecutive weeks on the Hot 100.
On the latest Hot 100 (dated Aug. 26), the superstar's two tracks from the previous week's tally depart: "Passionfruit" falls from No. 81 and "Signs" disappears from No. 100.
As previously noted, Drake became the first artist ever to log eight straight years on the Hot 100 in May, dating to the entrance of "Best I Ever Had" on May 23, 2009, at No. 92, on its way to a No. 2 peak. Since then, he had appeared on every Hot 100 since, either in a lead or featured role (and often, both).
Here's an updated look at the artists with the most consecutive weeks on the Hot 100 since the chart's Aug. 4, 1958, inception:
Most Consecutive Weeks on Billboard Hot 100
431, Drake
326, Lil Wayne
216, Rihanna
207, Nicki Minaj
161, Chris Brown
159, JAY-Z
152, Nelly
141, Kenny Chesney
139, Destiny's Child
139, Katy Perry
139, Taylor Swift
Within his endeavor of endurance, Drake has stormed to some impressive Hot 100 achievements:
--- He currently boasts 157 charted titles, the most among soloists and second-most among all artists only to the Glee cast's 207. Deep into his 431-week run, he passed Lil Wayne, now with 136 Hot 100 visits, for the most appearances among solo acts.
--- Drake also set the record – twice – for the most entries on the Hot 100 by an artist in a single week. On the chart dated May 21, 2016, he claimed 20 positions on the Hot 100, spurred by the arrival of songs from his Views album. He rewrote that mark on April 8, 2017, when tunes from his More Life LP helped push him to 24 simultaneous charted titles.
--- Drake linked 51 consecutive weeks in the Hot 100's top 10, the longest string for a solo male, trailing only Katy Perry's 69 straight weeks (2010-11) and The Chainsmokers' 61 (2016-17). Drake's streak started on Oct. 3, 2015, when "Hotline Bling" rose 16-9, and he wouldn't vacate the region again until Sept. 24, 2016, when "One Dance," featuring WizKid and Kyla, dropped 11-9.
--- "Dance," a No. 1 for 10 weeks, gave the Toronto native his first Hot 100 leader as a lead act, after he previously topped the chart as featured on two Rihanna songs: "What's My Name?," for one week in 2010, and "Work," for nine weeks in 2016.

Finally. A break. I hope Drake goes away for a bit and then comes back with better material.
Now we just need Bieber gone for a bit. Pop musicians should always take a year or two off after a major era to not risk oversaturation, it makes sense.

^Yeah, agreeed. Most of the artists who have had good long term success have paced themselves to come up with good material and not release music just because ...

Who's to say they're releasing music "just because"? Maybe they actually, oh I don't know, enjoy what they do and take advantage of the fact that you can release frequently and have a receptive audience who appreciates it? This mentality that longevity and quality output is automatically synonymous with taking breaks gets more dated and stupid every year.

Yeah, it's not a one-size fits all solution. Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, and Adele took 3-5 years between albums. Madonna, Taylor, Beyoncé and Kanye every 2-3. Prince, the Beatles, Rihanna, and Mariah could crank out a hit album every year for years on end. It depends on the artist.

I've never felt that Drake was oversaturated. Am I the only one? It's weird to think that he's had that many chart hits back to back for 8 years because I feel like just a few of them have been really huge. Drake himself is huge though but I've never reached a point where I got sick of him.

And if you limit to just the top 40, still pretty big....August 2015 to June 2017, lots of gaps before that.
