I’ve already moved on from this. There are 3 other new Abel songs to talk about: You Right, Take My Breath, and Hurricane. Plus, it’s refreshing to have an organic, long-running #1 on the Hot 100. We really haven’t had that since The Box.

Drivers License? Rockstar? Mood?

Donda will come and go, CLB will be around for some time before it’s forgotten.

For me it feels like it’s going to be another TLOP and Views respectively due to the overhype of both projects. None of the last eras for both artists were as hyped, not even Scorpion as everyone knew it was dropping around summer of that same year and not delayed to the next. Donda and CLB were teased since fall of last year and i’ve heard nothing but “when are they gonna drop?” on most social media sites, so this is truly an event. This is clearly shown by the first day Spotify numbers for Donda that didn’t even have a full day, yet still had 2 songs over 3 million.

Mood, ROCKSTAR and Drivers Licence don't exist, they're irrelevant. The only relevant thing is Stay ( the BIGGEST hit of 2021 and THE defining song )
and of course... BL

[nathanalbright]

I wonder if Drake is releasing CLB now because of the need to pay for some extra child support payments. It would explain the cover art.

I'm convinced they're doing their best to ignore and pretend like Olivia doesn't exist.

[nathanalbright]

Why would that be the case when every post-Sour album release up to this week is being labeled as a flop?

[Limited Edition]

I mean Stay might actually be the biggest song of 2021 when it's said and done, similar to Closer. Of course we don't know yet

[jenglisbe]

I love a lot of Kanye's music, but that is hilarious!

At this point, I'm already convinced that Stay and Bad Habits are two of the biggest hits of the year along with Drivers License, Good 4 U, Kiss Me More, Save Your Tears and Levitating.

45.5M US
90M+ WW

94,455,883 for the Global one. 2nd biggest on the platform. With streams from other songs he migh be the 4th artist to achieve 100M streams in a day on the platform.

But those 45,408,473 streams in the US are the 5th biggest Spotify US debut.

And not even a full day of tracking.

 

On a Sunday nonetheless.

I’ve already heard three different cars bumping it and overhead people talking about it at the gym this morning. Donda really feels like the biggest event in music this year.

Longevity is important. I think Donda and CLB will come and go, but Stay will continue to be there after they have come and gone. I think when it is all said and done, when we look back in 2038, Stay will be the biggest thing in music in 2021.

Y’all are delusional to the point of psychiatric evaluation on here

[Ｓｏｕｎｄｃｌ🕤ｃｋ]

I really REALLY hope Drake's music will be much better than that cover (and album title).

We're really getting "I'm Upset: The album" huh

[annoymous1]

Take Care is still his best album cover.

[dremolus - solarpunk]

Take Care is probably the best from an objective standpoint but I like the simple bluntness of If You're Reading This It's Too Late (it's also his best project)

Agreed. Drake albums seem to be as good as his album covers

"Stay" is about to hit the ceiling on Pop radio... there's nowhere for it to go but down, I don't see a 10+ week #1 run on the cards. Of course it's still quite strong on streaming, so we'll see. But it'd have a better shot if the components were peaking at different times. Instead they'll all start decreasing in a couple weeks.

[lurker2]

Do y'all think Jail could beat out Stay for number two? I'd say it normally would, but the short tracking week makes me skeptical.

lol no, Jail has no radio for one, and two, Butter isn't going to beat out Stay for #1 in the first place.

Is it out of the conversation for #1?

Make your words sweet in case you're prepared to eat them and I really hope you're ready to eat nothing but a slab of rotten butter come Monday

[Choco]

I'd wait for DONDA Day 2 numbers before making any kind of guess.

[nathanalbright]

We all know how huge the first day numbers were, now we'll see how it holds through the rest of the week.

[kierz7]

I’m rooting for West to score another Hot 100 #1. It’s been too long.

I don’t think he’ll achieve another universal smash-hit ala. “Golddigger/Stronger” again (though stranger things have happened) but I’d be happy for a cute, “Heartless/N’s In Paris” like hit with higher peaks.

How many rappers in their 40’s/50’s have hit #1?

Eminem (41) with The Monsters, Jay-Z (40) with Empire State of Mind.

[thegreatdivine]

What are your predictions for Kanye and Drake's album bombs?

[korbel16]

How do rappers last longer than singers in the industry??? Literally no rappers die out the same rate as singers

[After Minutes]

I think that Kanye could get 3 top 10 debuts with Jail, Off the Grid and Hurricane but we're yet to see. Though all three are probably going to be locked for the top 20
