Drake Isn’t On The Billboard Hot 100 Chart For The First Time Since 2009 [PEEP]

6359163519495130661951196911_DRAJW

For the first time in 430 weeks, Drake finds himself off Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. One of the most-accomplished artists of this decade, Drizzy has broken numerous records and garnered all sorts of accolades, but today marks the end of his epic run according to Chart Data.

Back in May Drake became the first artist in history to remain on the Hot 100 chart for eight consecutive years, dating back to 2009. May 23rd 2009 he entered the chart at No. 92 with his heartthrob single, “Best I Ever Had,” which eventually peaked at No. 2.

Earlier this year, the 6 God also celebrated the record of most Hot 100 hits by a solo artist with 154, passing his mentor, Lil Wayne. That’s a very commanding feat, considering Billboard Hot 100’s rich 58-year history.

Drake has looked merely invincible at times, but his lack of ‘More Life’ promotion may have hurt his feat. Perhaps a bit more promotion or the release of a music video or two would have kept the streak alive. Either way, I’m sure he’ll come back with a vengeance and continue to dominate and break records.

Luckily for Drizzy there’s more charts. He’s currently dominating Billboard’s 200 chart with ‘More Life’ currently at No. 13, ‘Views’ at No. 33, ‘Take Care’ at No. 76, ‘Nothing Was the Same’ still charting at No. 119, ‘If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late’ at No. 126, and his collaborative project with Future, ‘What a Time to Be Alive’ at No. 188.

Rest assured there’s more hits on the way. At his recent OVO Fest he mentioned he was gonna go work on his next album in Toronto.

asap-ferg-still-surviving

This Friday, August 18th, A$AP Ferg will carry the torch and continue A$AP Mob’s “AWGEST” takeover with the release of his ‘Still Striving’ project. Moving a step closer to the release, Ferg unveiled the official track list, which includes collaborations with A$AP Rocky, Cam’ron, Meek Mill, Dave East, Migos, Playboi Carti, Lil Yachty, MadeinTYO, Nav, Famous Dex, and others.

Ferg’s star-studded “East Coast (Remix),” “Plain Jane,” and Migos-assisted “Nasty (Who Dat)” will all appear on the album. With the high-profile features and 14-tracks, it appears the Trap Lord is releasing a full-length album rather than a mixtape.

‘Still Striving’ follows last year’s ‘Always Strive and Prosper’ album.

Check out the full track list below.

Currently on his “Set It Off Tour,” Bryson Tiller found some time to stop by “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” to do a live, outdoor performance of “Run Me Dry” off ‘True to Self’.

The performance was guided by a heavy fog machine, statues, neon-colored lights, a band, and a beautiful pillar. Bryson sported a denim jacket and his Pen Griffey hat, which is a common wardrobe accessory for the “Trap Soul” crooner.

On his LA stop of his “Set It Off Tour” he brought out Big Sean, Snoop Dogg, OT Genasis, Travis Scott, and Rae Sremmurd as surprise guests. He’ll continue his tour with H.E.R. and Metro Boomin all the way until September 16th.
