Can Drake go away, please? I really would rather see other artists shining over his same old songs and he hasn't had a good album since the one with Take Care. Y'all really worship him for no reason here when there are PLENTY more interesting rappers/R&B singers than him that don't get a sliver of the success that he does.

Notice how the artists we mostly discuss here are the ones who have some sort of impact on the charts because this forum is literally named the Chart Discussion forum? Drake gets discussed a lot because he spends a lot of time impacting the charts. The other interesting rappers/R&B singers that don't get discussed as much or at all don't get the same treatment specifically because of their lack or little chart success.

You also have the option of skipping past any/all Drake discussions.

There are plenty of more interesting artists that are ON THE CHARTS than Drake like H.E.R., Jhené, The Weeknd, Lil Uzi Vert, SZA, Megan Thee Stallion, Summer Walker, Usher. The list goes on and on.

^ and a handful of those artists get discussed when they drop songs/albums, so why are you so upset? Those artists are more interesting to you and out of all the names you listed, only the Weeknd and Megan Thee Stallion have any songs that are charting high/gaining traction. I even thought you'd mention Doja Cat. She's interesting and her single just reached the top 10.

The truth is that Drake is one of the most dominant mainstream acts. He'll get discussed regardless of whether he has new music out or not. Rihanna gets the same treatment with how she gets brought up every week despite her not having released new music in years. It is what it is.

None of them are as good at hitting the charts as Drake. I just feel like y’all’re tired because Drake y’all is year round due to the amount of music he releases. I mean when Ariana was in her TUN era, y’all were smothering the threads. Remember when people were talking about her songs returning to the top of the charts because she released cassettes. Nobody actually thought it was going to happen they just wanted to talk about Ariana for no reason.

All the Uzi songs are already out of the top 40. We've been talking plenty about the Weeknd. The other artists aren't even anywhere near the top 20 rn besides Meg

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

Nobody is upset at Drake. We’re annoyed at a select few who continuously bring him up at every and any opportunity. It’s annoying.

[tuna]

Drake isn’t near the top 20 either except in a Panini-length intro to a Future song

So that somehow doesn't count? Lmao that song would probably already be off the charts without Drake 

[annoymous1]

To be honest every artist that has released a song gets talked about in some extend there is a lot of time before monday(when the top 10 comes out)and the only musical update that gets posted daily is Spotify and Radio after that there is really not much to talk about after those get posted plus it's not like drake is off the charts so he can kinda fall into the valid chart discussion.

[kingvavis]

How many streams do you guys think some of the songs in the current top 10 would have if the UGC change was not enacted?

You hate Drake['s music] (or at the very least, you hate when he's discussed at all because you're always making a mockery of him in some way), what are you talking about? You've made that known in every way possible.

I mean...Drake discussion can be overwhelming, but this is most definitely the biggest story concerning the Hot 100. He's super popular and could debut at the summit. at least thegreatdivine has a good sense of humor about it, im lowkey rooting for Drake just because of them

In my opinion, complaining about Drake being discussed too much while being a chart watcher is like being a fan of basketball and being mad that LeBron James or Steph Curry get discussed too much. When you're the biggest or the most dominant figure in anything, you get the most attention. That's how it works.

Also, it's not like we only ever talk about Drake. In the past few weeks, we've spoken about the Weeknd, Dua Lipa, Lil Uzi Vert and a whole bunch of other people whose songs have been making moves on the charts.

It's just a guesstimate...

The Box ~45M (up from ~34M)

Blinding Lights ~36M (up from ~32M)

Life Is Good ~35M (up from ~27M)

Roxanne ~20M (up from ~15M)

Say So ~20M (up from ~15M)

Dance Monkey ~20M (up from ~14.5M)

[lurker2]

Top 5 Fanbases on chart discussion, IMO:

5) Post Malone: A successful artist without psychotic fans? Sign me up! Also, Take What You Want and Circles good.

4) The Weeknd: biased cause I am one, but they’ve been generally non-messy despite his imperial era. Also, Blinding Lights good

3) Drake: they talk about him a lot, but they seem good natured unless you dare to defile the 6 God

2) Ariana Grande: Gabe is iconic AF

1) Ava Max: enough said

[TruthHurts]

the boxy >>>< dracula hitting 1 again

[taylor is terrified]

Good GOD! Anytime D***e is mentioned by someone who puts his left pinky toe in a critical light (as they're just as allowed to do as you are allowed to praise him; it's called OPINIONS) some of y'all flip s**t for no reason. This is the Chart Discussion thread of Pulse, not stan Twitter. Drake isn't the only artist on the Hot 100 chart, and this thread is intended to discuss the ENTIRE chart so can we all start to do that please?

edit: wait lol oops that started happening before I ruined it never mind

Post Malone has the most chill fanbase like all they do is buy his music and go on with there day and best of all he gets #1s.

Okay, and you and majority of this forum are still going wild over the same 2006 pop girls so this is quite hilarious. You were going crazy over Stupid Love the other week which sounds like a “same old song” for her standards and plenty of people agree she hasn’t made a good album since the early 2010s. Yet if anyone said any of this to y’all you would have a meltdown. Let people enjoy who they want to enjoy.

I don’t know why you think you have any superiority complex to tell people the artist they like is overrated and they need to be supporting other artists.

[TruthHurts]

dracula keeps sucking bloodz out of charts and quality.

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.

no I think Doja Cat is new king of rap

Since 2006? I guess you don't know how to count years. It's super impressive that Gaga has the longevity she has since 2008, what other pop girls can get a solo Top 5 debut at this point in time other than Taylor and Ariana? Gaga literally had one of the biggest songs of the entire year last year and earned her first #1 in years with Shallow. I'm sure y'all will be switching on Gaga anyways once the Ariana duet comes out. I am always open to supporting other artists, but completely destroying anyone who doesn't like Drake in these threads just makes y'all look worse anyways.

Yes I agree with this statement considering Doja is currently in the Top 10 and is the only new artist to get her first Top 10 in 2020!

You turned this completely in to her current success which had absolutely nothing to do with my point whatsoever, and it doesn’t surprise you completely missed the point.

Nobody says you need to stop listening to any of your favorite artists because “there’s plenty better/newer artists” or “they haven’t made good music since ____ in my opinion”. So stop going around acting superior and telling others they need to.
