Billboard Hot 100: 04/11/2020

[Naos]

"Be a Light" is probably not going to chart right? Since it came out on a Monday, and none of the artists are all that big on streaming?

Yeah I don't even know why we talk about Drake every week. He hasn't had a #1 in a very long time. I think he's been replaced by Travis who has had 2 solo #1s in less than a year.

1. Because Drake's name grabs headlines and numbers regardless of whether he's the main artist or just a feature, and whenever he is the main artist, it's almost guaranteed to debut in the Top 10.

2. When the hell did Travis replace him? Just because he got two #1s in less than a year? HIGHEST IN THE ROOM couldn't even spend 5 weeks in the Top 10, and Drake had three number one hits in a single chart year. 

1. Drake has relied on features so much in the last year. He hasn't had a solo top 10 hit in nearly 2 years. He's now using heavy hitters like Future and Rick Ross to hit the top 10. His last solo single "Behind Barz - Bonus" didn't even reach the top 74 on the Hot 100. That's worrying.

2. Drake relied on challenges, samples, and sympathy to hit #1, while Travis went #1 because people are buying and streaming his music. Highest In The Room was the highest selling rap CD single of 2019, which is hard to get and not everyone has that to their credit.

I hope Drake will make good songs not hits

Hopefully, If The World Was Ending and City Of Angels debut. Not because they're good song but I just want that Billboard Breakdown critiques haha.

Add Maniac to that as well.

He already reviewed Conan Gray's album so I'm fine with that song not charting

I hope you’re honestly joking. Like what? When did future and rick ross last hit the top 10 before the drake features. Did you forget his massive 2018 run? 2019 was a sorta off year for him but he still had top 10 hits. Did you forget meek mill and chris brown had their first top 5 hits (for the latter, since 2008 i think?), and now Drake’s coming back with what looks like to be his first proper solo hit in 2 years.


God’s Plan and Nice for what was #1 hits without any challenges. Yes the latter had a sample but that wasn’t the main focus of the song

Behind bars was a old song and it was rereleased as an extra track for a tv show. He didn’t promote the track at all nor he had intentions to

Future's highest charting songs:
Life Is Good (with Drake) - #2
Mask Off - #5
Love Me (with Drake & Lil Wayne) - #9
Jumpman (with Drake) - #12
Used To This (with Drake) - #14

Rick Ross's highest charting songs:
Money in the Grave (with Drake) - #7
I'm On One (with Drake, DJ Khaled, and Lil Wayne) - #10

Umm yeah, he's using them...

2. Who cares if he's using challenges, samples or sympathy to hit number one? EVERY ARTIST DOES THAT.

Future and Rick Ross haven't put out material in a while and were widely anticipated releases. If either song featured Silento it would've still hit the top 10.

I acknowledged his 2018 run in my previous posts ("challenges, samples, and sympathy"). Drake released 3 projects in 2019 and none had a solo top 10 hit. Now he's coming back again with a new song based around a challenge created by the people who made the "Rolex" song, yikes.

He didn't promote Behind Barz - Bonus? It even had a high budget music video.

[Deleted]

This, ladies and gentlemen, is yet another example that all roads lead to Drake, especially in a chart discussion thread.

I really doubt people were really that excited for new Rick Ross that he would get a Top 10 debut on his own.

Also what do you mean Future hadn't released material in a while? He had an album and EP out last year!

Those 3 projects in 2019.. lemme educate you


So Far Gone - Originally Released 2009 and was rereleased to be on streaming platforms for its 10th year anniversary

Care Package- A compilation of his older hits that got a proper release on streaming platforms that most people already listened to or had a mp3 copy of it (*or other ways*). A few songs even charted on the hot 100 which was accomplishing despite these songs being at least 2 years old or older.


The Best In The World - 2 loose songs he released to celebrate the raptors winning their first championship. He didn’t promote either song at first but when money in the grave became a single drake released a cheap music video but it still became a stable top 10 hit and he didn’t mean it to be a serious hit cuz he knows how impactful it could be if he did promote tf out of it


Which is why he didn’t released his ‘leaked songs’ so far this year officially. We all seen how big of a hit life is good is and we all know drake has still got his strong charting power. The only person that could match him honestly is post malone

Also one last thing, why do you think no guidance is STILL on the charts after 42 weeks. It can’t be Chris Brown at all and that’s for obvious reasons. His other song ‘Heat’ with Gunna didn’t last long. You can’t deny or try to rewrite the amounts of impact drake has on not only music, but society as a whole

Drake spent 29 weeks at #1 with 3 songs in 2018. One of the Travis songs that reached #1 featured an extensive appearance by Drake and is a huge part of why the song was that successful. The only reason why Drake didn't score 4 #1 hits in 2018 is because Travis refused to credit him as a feayired act on Sicko Mode. Travis' second #1 hit was as a result of him gaming and exploiting every possible loophole and the song didn't even spend up to 10 weeks in the top 10. Both Travis songs spent a combined 2 weeks at #1.

Since the last time Drake scored a #1 hit, he's charted better and scored more top 10 hits than Travis. How does Travis scoring 2 solo number #1's since Drake last scored a #1 hit equate to him replacing or surpassing Drake?

I do believe I saw in the "Be a Light" thread that country gave it 119 spins yesterday alone. (edit: lmao you're the one that posted that info)

If it gets streamed consistently and adds to a consistent amount of radio airplay I can see it maybe making a slight dent.

The delusion in this post is mind boggling. When did Future and Rick Ross become heavy hitters? Future's last top 10 hit before Life Is Good with Drake was Mask Off in 2017. Rick Ross has two top 10 hits to his name and they all feature an appearance by Drake.

How delusional do you have to be to disregard the fact that Behind Barz is a freestyle Drake did from over a year before it was released? It was never pushed on radio and was simply added to the soundtrack album of a TV series.

Why would Travis credit a background vocalist? That wouldn't make sense. Travis will credit the artist when they have a significant part of the song (like Kendrick Lamar on Goosebumps or Young Thug on Pick Up The Phone).

I'm not sure why you're trying to discredit Travis' achievements? It almost seems like you have something against him.

BTS did the same strategy with On, yet only peaked at #4. I guess HITR was more appreciated by the GP.
