Could "Girls Like You" get a week at #1 now that Drake is falling? If the song was discounted in a week or two I could see that happening.

August 31, 196301 04 My Boyfriend's Back - The Angels (1st of 3 weeks at #1)02 02 Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh (A Letter From Camp) - Allan Sherman 03 01 Fingertips (Part 2) - Little Stevie Wonder 04 03 Candy Girl - The Four Seasons 05 06 Blowin' In The Wind - Peter, Paul & Mary 06 11 If I Had a Hammer - Trini Lopez 07 05 Judy's Turn To Cry - Lesley Gore 08 12 Mockingbird - Inez Foxx (w/Charlie Foxx) 09 08 More - Kai Winding & Orchestra 10 10 Denise - Randy & The Raindrops During the week ending August 31st, 1963; on Wednesday, August 28th, The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom occurred in the nation's Capitol. Over 240,000 demonstators, both black and white, descended on the Washington Mall to hear speaker after speaker talk about inequality, civil rights and the state of the nation. It was here that Martin Luther King Jr., gave his iconic "I Have A Dream" speech that still resonates so loudly today; among Americans of all backgrounds, 55 years later. It also moved President John F. Kennedy to introduce a Federal Civil Rights Bill to the Congress; A Bill that he himself would not live to see passed. |

Imagine Dragons' Natural dethrones iTunes #1 from BTS now!
Hopefully it will be another single-worded Imagine Dragon's song to reach the top 10.

As much as I love Love Lies, it can wait a week to enter the top 10. GIAW NEEDS that top 10!
(well, in a perfect world both songs would be at top 10)

Could it pass Taste as well? I think "Taste" isn't going anywhere, #6 on Spotify, #22 on Radio (slowly gaining), #23 on iTunes currently. If IDOL debuts in the top 10, Love Lies still has a chance because Ariana's songs will fall next week. |

August 31, 196801 01 People Got To Be Free - The Rascals (3rd of 5 weeks at #1)02 02 Born To Be Wild - Steppenwolf 03 04 Light My Fire - Jose Feliciano 04 03 Hello, I Love You - The Doors 05 06 Sunshine Of Your Love - Cream 06 11 You Keep Me Hangin' On - Vanilla Fudge 07 81 Harper Valley P.T.A. - Jeannie C. Riley 08 15 You're All I Need To Get By - Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell 09 09 I Can't Stop Dancing - Archie Bell & The Drells 10 10 Stand In My Corner - The Dells During the third week that The Rascals' "People Got To Be Free" held the top spot on the Hot 100, the 1968 Democratic Convention took place in Chicago. But thanks to fissions within the party, it was a disaster almost right from the start. With RFK gone, there was no clear front runner for the nomination, so there were fights among the delegates and the party leaders over who would best represent the Democratic party in the fall. Anti-Vietnam War Democrats wanted an anti-War candidate, who would hopefully put an end to the war in Vietnam, while a more conservative part of the party wanted a candidate who would continue Lyndon Johnson's policies in Vietnam. There was fighting outside the convention hall as well. Over 10, 000 demonstators (among them hippies and anti-War protestors) descended on to Chicago that hot week in late August, and as a result, the Democratic Mayor of Chicago, Mayor Daley, had called out a total of 23, 000 policemen and National Guard troops to deal with the threat he saw to his city while the convention was going on. Things reached a low point, on August 28th, 1968, when audiences at home watching the convention on TV were treated to dozens and dozens of protestors (and non protestors who were just out on the street) getting severely beaten by the police with clubs and with their bodies, beating and kicking their heads and other areas of their bodies, before arresting them. The police were out of control, and they were beating and arresting anybody who was unlucky enough to be around them that night. It would come to be called a police riot in the days to come. In the end, the party bosses won. Lyndon Johnson's Vice President, Hubert Humphrey; a man who hadn't even run in any of the primaires in 1968, was the party's pick for their presidential nominee that fall. He would go up against the Republican party's pick, Richard Nixon in November. The anti-War faction of the party was left angered, disappointed, and disillusioned and the city of Chicago was left forever scarred by the events that had occurred at the Democratic National Convention of 1968. |

For me, Drake has turned into the "James Brown of the 2010s"... An enormous amount of chart entries - r&b sound dominance, and a few hits that will be lasting classics, but Pop Radio has struggled to accommodate his perceived less-than-maintream sound. Thus in strong segments of the population (hard core streaming users / Hip-Hop fans / the Under 25 set) he will be untouchable, but in the soul of the mass-appeal general public, he will never quite reach the Michael Jackson or Whitney Houston stratosphere. To be fair, very few artists reach the heights of MJ or Whitney. In addition to dominating the singles charts, they also had mega huge album sales as well. |

I wonder what will happen to Drake when he'll get older: will he get Jay-Z like legacy treatment or will he be "abandoned" commercially (like Snoop Dogg and Diddy)
Given how stale his music has been (with some international flavors here and there) I doubt that he can become very experimental like Kanye West.

I feel like he'll get more of a Diddy legacy tbh because a lot of rap fans are turning against him when Jay Z is liked by 99% of rap fans |

Can you all honestly look back on Drakes dominace this decade and compare an almost unprecedented 9 year run in hip hop to that of Snoop, diddy and f**king Ja rule?
It still amazes me how there are currently 6 Drake albums on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
That's 120 songs by one artist being consumed heavily every single week
Take Care at #70 this week is the ONLY rap album from 2011 on the entire chart.
Nothing Was The Same at #134 this week is the ONLY rap album from 2013 on the entire chart.
IYRTITL at #189 this week is the ONLY rap album from 2015 on the entire chart.
Views at #52 this week is the HIGHEST CHARTING ALBUM (all genres) from 2016 on the entire chart.
More Life at #64 this week is the 2ND highest charting rap album from 2017 on the entire chart.
Scorpion hasn't left the TOP 5 since its release two months ago.
He will forever be held in high regard, maybe not THE GOAT, by the insane number of people that consume his music heavily every week for the past 9 years
Jesus christ, fucking Ja rule

This is so, so sad to read. The Democrat Party has exactly the same problems today, still. To be quite honest, if you are anti-war you are better off being a Republican at the moment. Most of the mainstream Democrats today are begging for a war with North Korea and/or Russia. They actually get UPSET when our relationships with rival countries improves! It's absolutely crazy. I can't imagine how demotivated and demoralised these anti-war Democrats from the 1960's must be today. All this time, and absolutely no progress. I guess these must be the people who vote the Green Party. There must come a time where you just give up and try something different.

Someone like Kendrick Lamar is less successful, but will be remembered more fondly for his music. Also, Drake is more highly regarded NOW, but remember how the discussion about him went in 2010? His music is only for girls. He's too sensitive. He must be gay. This is a terrible direction for hip hop to go in. I felt as if after a few years people just gave up on making jokes about him and got used to him, but early on in his music career he was seen as a gimmick by many people. |

His success in the past decade can mainly be attributed to the fact that he is hip hops ultimate chameleon. Drake in 2011 doesnt sound like Drake in 2016, neither does 2018 Drake sound like 2016 Drake. So unless you were referring to his subject matter(money, paranoia, women), through which he keeps finding different melodies to tell us pretty much the same thing,there isnt anything stale about him. |

Also In my feelings doesn't feel as big as "In the middle" by Zedd. Maybe because it isn't as big on radio. Idk radio has a way of making songs "feel big" For me, Drake has turned into the "James Brown of the 2010s"... An enormous amount of chart entries - r&b sound dominance, and a few hits that will be lasting classics, but Pop Radio has struggled to accommodate his perceived less-than-maintream sound. Thus in strong segments of the population (hard core streaming users / Hip-Hop fans / the Under 25 set) he will be untouchable, but in the soul of the mass-appeal general public, he will never quite reach the Michael Jackson or Whitney Houston stratosphere. You think " In The Middle" seems bigger than Drake's (keke) song "In My Feelings"??? Even listening to the radio a decent amount with people I don't even hear people talk about "The Middle" much. I always took it as a good song that fit nicely on radio and not a huge num.1. Even when it was new I didn't think it was the huge sensation that "In My Feelings" seemed to be. Songs feel bigger to different people depending on their surroundings. Maybe I just always walked into all things "In My Feelings" and you "The Middle". lol |

Nobody in the history of rap music has DOMINATED for an entire decade, while getting more successful and more prominent year after year like Drake has. Drake also happens to be the face of the streaming era, which is the present and the future of the music industry as we know it. He's been going at it for over 9 years and he's in a better position for more success and dominance after this album era than ever before and yet he's being compared to Ja Rule. It's really insulting. Drake will be regarded as one of the greatest to ever do when it's all said and done. He's done too much for and in hip-hop to ever be disregarded the way some of these other rappers he's being compared to have. His dominance also goes way beyond hit records. It's massively successful albums, it's successful tours, it's taking over the entire cultural landscape as far as conversations, impact and engagement goes. This is someone who has a great chance of winning the Artist of the Decade award. Y'all need to put some respect on Drake's name. Out here acting like y'all can name another rapper who is doing what he's doing currently. |

Drake is a beast and a legend.
He's also a beneficiary of the streaming era, and so there's some important chart/industry context to consider when it comes to comparing him to many rappers that came before him - as their number of hits were often limited to singles.

With the streaming numbers Drake gets, radio doesn't really matter Agreed - but it's interesting how his Scorpion singles aren't as dominant as radio as they are on digital sales and streaming I would've thought radio would be a strong metric for him How is top 3 not a strong metric? Plus aren't they all going to #1 on Rhythmic and Urban? It's just that Top 40 is holding the songs back overall. The songs ahead of him tend to have concurrent Top 40, Rhythmic, Hot AC, and AC support. |

There's this, there's also the fact that Drake was putting up massive numbers on the charts and with his albums WAY before the streaming era. You put Drake's figures against the rest of his peers and the wide gap that exists between him and them is ridiculous. Drake's peers are just now doing first week numbers he was doing way back in 2010 with his debut album, before streams were ever counted. IMO, he's the artist who has transitioned the most smoothly from the digital era to the streaming era and with the numbers he keeps posting in the streaming era, I don't see any of his peers overtaking him anytime soon. There's also the part where he never takes a break and each new project breaks streaming records that the former set or broke. His run and dominance is unprecedented in rap music. |
