Except you don't criticize Drake. You're a flat out hater. And the part of Sicko Mode that became a meme was a part of Drake's verse. Drake is just as much, if not more than why that song was as successful as it was. Even people who don't like Drake on here have admitted that. How am I a hater for arguing? I love a lot of Drakeβs music. Iβm not denying that heβs one of the biggest artists of the century. Iβm just disagreeing that Drake is what made that song big. He does have the power to force mid tier artists into hits (lil baby and blocboy) but Travis was already a huge name by that point I don't see how you can possibly think Sicko Mode would be a hit, nonetheless a 'massive #1 hit' like you said, without Drake. What about Sicko Mode would make people gravitate to the song if Drake wasn't on it? It would just be another album track. |

Travis got his first top 10 hit in 2017 as a feature on Portland off More Life. He didn't drop a project in 2017 until ASTROWORLD in 2018. He also didn't put out any smash hit singles that could have suggested that he was now an established hitmaker. Drake's part of the song is the most popular part. In fact, radio was only playing Drake's part of the song. But we're meant to believe that Drake has absolutely nothing to do with the success of the song. |

This 100% Though lbr Travis's part on Sicko outclasses Drake's But unfortunately meme culture didn't get the memo |

The song's radio edit cut out Drake's intro, plays Travis's first verse in full, merges the end of Travis' verse/Swae Lee's ad libs and the transition to play at the same time, and then the rest of the song. Please don't pull stuff out of nowhere and act like it's true. Back to trolling If this were true how come Travis got another #1 soon after Sicko Mode? Clearly Travis proved people want to hear him. |

All you do is drop passive aggressive comments about him, like shady posts about him and get mad when he drops a song or is doing well on the charts, but of course, you're a massive Drake fan. Mind you, I never said he was the entire reason why the song was as big as it got. I said he was a huge reason why and that's a fact. None of the other hits on Travis' album performed even half as well as Sicko Mode. His first lead single released since then also didn't do half as well as it did. There are also no songs before Sicko Mode that were half as successful as it was, but the guy who dominated the entire year of 2018 commercially hopped on the song and dropped a verse that no one stopped talking about till the end of the year and it had no effect on the success of the song? Yeah right. |

Jesus fucking christ how much fucking drake can one person take? This is why Drake is annoying. Not because his music is slightly below subpar but because the amount he's talked about in here isn't near as justified for how uninteresting he and his music are.

April 17, 196501 01 I'm Telling You Now - Freddie & The Dreamers (2nd and final week at #1)02 02 Stop! In The Name Of Love - The Supremes 03 07 Game Of Love - Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders 04 09 I Know a Place - Petula Clark 05 04 Shotgun - Jr. Walker & The All Stars 06 03 Can't You Hear My Heartbeat - Herman's Hermits 07 13 Tired Of Waiting For You - The Kinks 08 08 Nowhere To Run - Martha & The Vandellas 09 19 The Clapping Song - Shirley Ellis 10 15 Go Now - The Moody Blues 12 NE Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter - Herman's Hermits 14 37 I'll Never Find Another You - The Seekers 19 44 Silhouettes - Herman's Hermits Look at this April 1965 Billboard Top 10. At this point it would be very hard to argue that the British Invasion (started by the Beatles) hadn't made major inroads into the American Top 10 (and the Beatles aren't even in it!). Not only is the current #1 by a British artist, so are #3, #4, #6, #7, and #10 as well. Even 2 out of 3 of the "preview" songs below the Top 10 are by a British artist; in this case the same one. The Seekers on the other hand were an Australian group. This is an excellent example of peak British Invasion dominance of the American chart. |

I hope bad bunnyβs safaera becomes a hit. I feel like thatβs the true successor to sicko mode and it feels like we got a latin version now. Itβs doing amazing worldwide so it isnβt that unlikely

Drake was bound to be talked about this week because of Toosie Slide I would understand if it was any other week but yeah he is the only artist these days (on pulse) people get riled up about except for Lewis Capeldi.

Itβs doing amazing worldwide so it isnβt that unlikely Thatβs the general consensus, itβs not even a single and itβs still in the top 15 in global Spotify, everyone I know either has Safaera or Si Veo a Tu MamΓ‘ as their favorite from the album and those that have Safaera always bring up Sicko Mode |

April 18, 197001 01 Let It Be - The Beatles (2nd and final week at #1)02 02 ABC - The Jackson 5 03 04 Spirit In The Sky - Norman Greenbaum 04 03 Instant Karma - John Lennon & The Plastic Ono Band 05 06 Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes) - Edison Lighthouse 06 05 Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon & Garfunkel 07 08 Come & Get It - Badfinger 08 14 Love Or Let Me Be Lonely - Friends Of Distinction 09 15 American Woman - The Guess Who 10 11 Up The Ladder To The Roof - The Supremes On April 10th, 1970, Paul McCartney, through a press release announced his intention to leave the Beatles. At the time, the group's own song "Let It Be" was sitting at the top of the Hot 100. "Let It Be" had started life as part of the "Get Back" project that the group had recorded and filmed back in January 1969, but had then put on hold while the group pursued other interests during 1969 instead. More than a year later, they hired (in)famous record producer Phil Spector (yes, that Phil Spector) to try to make an album out of all the recordings. The result was Let It Be, and the first single was released in March 1970, the Spectorized version of Paul McCartney's "Let It Be", which Paul reportedly hated on first listen. The song debuted at #6 on the Hot 100 the week ending March 21, 1970; which broke the Beatles' own previous record since they had sent "Hey Jude" on to the chart at #10 in 1968, and repeated the feat with "Get Back" in 1969. After the Beatles, no other artist would debut a single in the top 10 again until 1995. On April 11th, 1970, the 3rd manned mission to the moon, Apollo 13 launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Merritt Island, Florida. Two days into the mission, an oxygen tank in the Service module failed. This forced the three member crew to abort the planned moon landing; relocate to the Lunar Module instead, and try to work with NASA to figure out a way to get them safely back to earth. For four days the USA and the World held their collective breaths as the crew of Apollo 13 and NASA worked around the clock to try to figure out a way to save them before it was too late. Their solution ultimately involved a "sling shot" around the moon and a splash down in the South Pacific Ocean. In the end all three astronauts were saved and millions and millions of people on earth breathed a sigh of relief. The #1 song in the country while all this drama unfolded? "Let It Be" during its second, and final week. |

You don't even post that much in these threads, so why are you so mad many other people are talking about the biggest Hot 100 artist of this generation who just dropped a new single that's debuting at #1? What else is happening on the Hot 100 this week that's a bigger deal than that? It's never that serious. Relax. |

Isn't the weekly Hot 100 thread, the Drake Artist Discussion thread?
I mean this is where we get all the daily Drake updates we need - projects, certifications, achievements, what he had for breakfast.
There hardly even updates on his Artist thread. Just embrace it π€²

The only thing to talk about Drake is his chart performance. Nothing else is really interesting about him The honest truth is that there isn't much happening on the Hot 100. The Box was #1 for 11 weeks before Blinding Lights went #1 and now, Toosie Slide is going #1. The only other fun developments have been Don't Start Now peaking at #2, Say So reaching the top 10, Adore You reaching the top 10 and Savage possibly reaching the top 10. Save for Lil Uzi Vert's top 10 debuts, the top 10 has been pretty much the same for months and the biggest mainstream artists aren't releasing new music right now. If the Hot 100 chart was more fun and we were getting an influx of new songs weekly that impacted the chart and changed things up, maybe we wouldn't spend as much time talking about Drake. |

If only the billboard rules change up instead of sucking off Someone You Loved, Circles and a whole bunch of country songs
Yea, I liked circles when it first dropped, but it got stale real quick. Definition of a dad jam.
