I feel like Drake’s songs like Best I Ever Had and Find Your Love are technically his biggest hits due to them having only sales and radio at the time

They are some of his biggest but I think Hotline Bling is actually what pushed him into the superstar he is today. And it didn't even reach #1.

SO pissed. Amazon just sent me a notification that shipment of the CD has been delayed. Oh well. I have other music to tide me over, but still. I was looking forward to listening to this in full.

Is Drake going to beat Katy Perry's and Michael Jackson's five number one songs on one album record? It looks like he is poised to either tie or beat it.

I think he’ll be lucky to get even one more #1 from the era. Rap albums (as well as overall consumer trends) point to front loaded success. These tracks are all soooo streamed already. I don’t see a 5th single having enough steam to go all the way in six months time.

I don’t see a 5th single having enough steam to go all the way in six months time. This, plus going for 5 #1s requires such a concerted and intentional effort that Drake has never exhibited for any of his album releases. Half the reason his albums are frontloaded is b/c he all but checks out on active promotion once he's dropped. If Nonstop had debuted at #1, followed by IMF the next week, he might have changed his approach and tried to go for #5. But he's probably content now to 'settle' for being the rapper with the most Hot 100 #1s and laughing at what has to be a pressed ass Kanye wondering what it really takes to kill Drake.

He could do it but it depends on the success of his videos. If he were smart he would toss out a couple of remixes which would freshen up the streaming element, too.

I think Republic would have pushed hard for a fifth #1 if Nonstop had managed to debut at #1, but since it didn't, they'll just settle with 3 #1's for now. I feel like they'll push In My Feelings as hard as they can, especially on radio (I've noticed that it's doing better than every single Drake has released so far this year, especially on pop radio) because they're probably counting on it running through the entire summer and then probably trying to push the MJ single next as a shot at a 4th #1. Knowing Drake, he'll probably try for another album era next year - singles and then another album and whatever label he ends up signing with will give him a gigantic push again. Kanye and especially Pusha must be mindblown. Almost two months removed from Pusha's diss track and it's like it never happened. No one talks about the blackface picture and everyone has moved on from questioning Drake about his son. To add to that, all the GOOD Music albums have faded out of the general public's consciousness, meanwhile, Drake is still scoring #1 hits off his and will undoubtedly end the year as the biggest, most successful artist.

Drake doesn't play the long-era game like how Taylor did with her 1989 era. To him, once the year is over, an era is over, sometimes even sooner. One Dance was still smashing when he dropped Fake Love and announced that he was dropping More Life before 2016 ended (before he ended up postponing it till March 2017). If anything, he'll start another era next year.

Can't believe the tour is postponed because of piece of shit Offset. Like, how dare you delay the tour of the biggest force in the music industry right now...

Unless you think Drake is lying, the reason for the postponement of the tour is that the production isn't ready yet.

One of the local urban stations has picked up Mob Ties. That should be a single along with Summer Games.

Loved his show. Aside from After Dark which was incomprehensible, there were no dropoffs. Even Fake Love was salvaged when yelling it with thousands of people.
Migos was very flat though, virtually no synergy onstage.
Drake also said that he plans on heading back in the studio right after the tour, so we'll likely have another project next year.

There would be no Drake without 808s & Heartbreak, but that was also a long time back.

@swella I live for that intro/song. One of his best. Houstatlantsvegas gives me all the emotion I never had.

Houstatlantavegas is still a jam. It stands out even more today because we're removed from that rhythmic pattern that The-Dream was using over and over again at that time. That leading up to Successful is SUCH a strong 1-2.

Successful was the track that got me into Drake. I wasn't super big on BIEH and still would put it towards the bottom of his best tracks. I got why it was big, but that was it. Successful on the other hand was instant. I think the minimal approach worked even more for it because it came out at time when Popular music was getting faster and louder, so it was working a different ground on its own terms.

I do enjoy BINH, but as you said, its definitely at or towards the bottom of his catagory. Successful was such a slow riser too! I also love Wayne's verse on it, such a vibe. Crazy this was all before his actual debut. Y’all really about to make me transport back to 9th grade with this So Far Gone discussion. I'M GOIN IN

I was just gonna ask what these songs y'all were talking about (I thought I posted but I guess not...) but I figured it was mixtape Drake, aka before I knew him. Before Thank Me Later, I only knew BIEH and Forever Mang.
