& 4422 is one of the greatest songs ever. Ts provoke so many emotions bruh😭

Circadian rhythm, no face, and it's up are almost at 100 mil each, and if blue green red and SOD were cleared then both those songs would have passed 100 mil easy as well. Just off of new music.

Thank Me Later VS If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late

Two pivotal moments in Drake’s career clash! Thank Me Later introduced the world to a hungry Toronto rookie blending rap vulnerability and R&B polish. If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late marked Drake’s evolution into a cold, confident superstar—a shadowy, minimalist project that redefined mixtapes as blockbuster events.

IYRTITL seeks redemption as it exited early thanks to going up against NWTS. It now has a chance to make a comeback run on the other side of the bracket!

  • Debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, staying for 1 week.
  • First-week units: 447,000 (pure sales-dominated era).
  • RIAA Certification: Platinum (1 million units).
  • Legacy: The blueprint for Drake’s genre-blurring sound.

• If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late (2015):

  • Debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, holding for 2 weeks.
  • First-week units: 535,000 (over 80% from streaming—a record at the time).

W??

This is the second video I've seen saying this. I thought they sold out immediately so he added more days ???

Yo, title pretty much says it all. Anyone found any good remixes/flips/edits of Family Matters that I could listen to on Soundcloud, Youtube, wherever? I'm tryna find something appropriate for a DJ set. I'll accept all dance genres (House, Techno, DnB, whatever)

This is probably gonna get deleted but.......

Anyone hear about this for the australian show? It looks like the stage layout has changed from the original one. It is now two stages on either end with a connecting platform on both sides.

Originally i seem to recall it was one big stage platform in the middle.
