The 3 Drake tracks are What's Next (solo), Wants and Needs (ft. Lil Baby), and Lemon Pepper Freestyle (ft. Rick Ross). The last of those has the lowest chances of becoming a hit because it's a 6-minute-long freestyle, but the other 2 should have solid debuts, if not one of them going to #1.
Also, the Silk Sonic track is called Leave The Door Open.

It looks like he's pushing What's Next as the single.

Seems like these Drake songs are just a release for fans. I can't see any of these songs blowing up enough to land a spot on his album but I'm happy for the new music ^__^

Personally I'm thinking one of them gets on, the charts week and I'm sure the label wouldn't mind saying CLB has number one hit [What's Next/Wants and Needs]. E: Anyway, I listened to the first two and they're decent. Not as good as LNCL or NFW, bur still better than Toosie Slide. |

I feel like "Hold On" (Justin Bieber) will literally "hold on" to radio if ever.

Getting away from Drake, Leave the Door Open and Selfish Love is great.

The Bruno x Paak song is magical but idk if the hook is that catchy to become a big hit. Hold On is also probably the best thing Bieber has put out since Purpose.

Imma be honest I like that new Justin Bieber song.
I also really like the Bruno/Anderson Paak and Selena/DJ Snake collabs.
I'm quite happy so far.

E: Anyway, I listened to the first two and they're decent. Not as good as LNCL or NFW, bur still better than Toosie Slide. I haven't been wrong yet. I said Toosie Slide wasn't a lead single for his album (and people here almost attacked me) and it ended up on a throwaway mixtape despite debuting at #1, lol. LNCL will probably not end up on the album as well despite being a legitimate hit record and it's very clear none of these songs are intended as some grandiose lead single for his album. They're just rap cuts he had laying around and wanted to give fans. That's why there's also a 6 minute song. When the lead single drops, you'll know. I hope What's Next/Wants and Needs manage to debut in the top 10 but I don't see any of them going #1 or spending multiple weeks there. I hope one of them takes off on radio, though. I love all 3 songs so I'm good either way, really. |

Omg, I LOVE the Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak song. It's SO SMOOTH. WOW. I also love the new Justin single. It has a lot more energy than the rest. I love the Post Malone version of Life's a Mess as well.
I'm really happy with this week's releases. They're all solid.

What's Next sounds like it was written very recently, at least post-Valentine's Day since the whole chorus would not really work if it came out before like on a January CLB.
It's a good song and the Rick Ross one is great too so it'll be a shame if the Lil Baby one is the hit since its pretty mediocre and definitely the worst of the pack.
None of these songs making CLB would make zero sense its not like he's scared of bloated albums, we just had an project of throwaways, and the God's Plan precedent but I would not care if any of these missed just if the wrong one makes it on.

I love that new Bruno x Anderson, I just really hope they also do a song together in the same style as Jet Black as well.

Expecting some healthy first day numbers for Drakes new songs, especially the first two. It feels like he hasn't released in forever.

That Bruno Mars and Anderson Paac song is 🔥.
That new Justin Bieber song sounds pretty good too. Probably his best song in recent times.

I feel like Justin Bieber’s song/visual is a little too safe for him. I’m sure radio will eat this up but I don’t think his streaming numbers will give him a shot at #1 with a song like this.
Drake’s songs will start off very strong on streaming platforms for the next few days, but if one of them is not going to be a single/music video, then I see his streaming wearing off by the end of the week. Is there a focus track for radio?
The new Bruno and company is the wild card in this week’s race. It can start strong, or it can become stronger in a few weeks if the reception is well received (so far it’s looking like acclaim) . Remember “Uptown Funk” never debut at #1 either. I get the “Versace On The Floor” comparisons too but that was not a lead single. I expect this song to do much better.

Anyone is good, but didn't really take off on radio. Interesting to see where the new one goes.

Drake will be more than fine what are y’all even saying? What’s Next seems like the best choice as a single, but expect Wants and Needs to cling onto the top spot on Apple Music, probably until CLB drops, just because its Drake and Baby. Lemon Pepper could chart in the lower half of the chart because its the track that most long time drake fans really like.
Lil Baby’s own lead single “Real as it Gets” is really energetic so it could either be a hit on the range of On Me or We Paid
Justin really released his best song so far in this decade with “Hold On”. I wish the best for this song even though it probably won’t be a huge hit.
Bruno and Anderson really delivered, as usual. It’s a really chilled back and nice vibe to the ears. The #1 spot is going to be a really big challenge this week. I think the true year of 2021 starts here so let’s go!!

'Scary Hours 2' was decent on first listen. Bruno and Anderson delivered on "LTDO" and "Intro" though!

If I had to guess, I'd say What's Next is going to be the one that'll gain traction from SH2. It's got a monotonous beat but it hits pretty hard and Drake goes in.

Leave the Door Open is brilliant!! Also the new St. Vincent single is genius, but that won't do anything on charts.

Leave The Door Open could have been made in the 70s and you‘d never question a thing. AOTY incoming!

Bieber sounds trash in Hold On. Listening to his overly processed voice after Bruno Mars is a massive difference in quality. Shame, because the song is not bad otherwise.
What's Next has a very annoying synth line. It's not catchy enough to go on forever. Wants and Needs should have been the single.
The Bruno Mars song is by far the best. But I don't think it's catchy enough to become a big hit

• I know the US will pay it dust but Zara Larsson's album is really solid.
• "Sacrifice" is one of the best things Bebe Rexha has ever done, hope this can at least be a moderate hit for her.
• "Leave the Door Open" is a really nice track, not exactly my thing. Can't really predict how it'll fare on the charts.
• Drake's songs are all... uninteresting. I'm confused about what his rollout strategy is now. Are these meant to hype people up for CLB because..?
• "Selfish Love" is fine, I guess? I have no interest in this Selena Gomez EP anymore.
• "Hold On" is pretty bland. Don't think it'll do better than "Holy" or even "Lonely".
