Drake’s upcoming Hot 100 Feat

Not sure if it’s my age, but even as recently as the last decade, Taylor Swift felt huge, Adele was everywhere, Rihanna - I could go on. But Drake just doesn’t feel that commercial. It’s like he has a massive streaming fan base and rhythmic radio support but has never been a mainstream consensus act.

Adele can sell millions of CD's. Rihanna has always had a huge radio presence. Taylor Swift can write her own hits. Drake has a huge youtube/streaming fanbase who buys his albums and tracks. The only time I saw Drake not chart every album track as releases was 2009 and 2013, his first two albums. I remember Hotline Bling as being huge and that was the start of his ascent into amassing a following. Taylor's albums chart too but she never can get enough fans to monopolize the Top 5 spots on the Hot 100...

There's always clean versions :)
