The Week's Billboard Hot 100 #1

Oh no, they've dropped (at least one of them did). It's weird because they are pretty decent rap songs. I know rap culture is all about competition but she really should have waited for the Cardi B hype to die down a bit.

Or at the very least, put her image back out there. Releasing the singles around the same time as Cardi's album was a bold move, but it seems to be backfiring. It didn't help that last year she lost her beef with Remy Ma. *shrugs* Oh well.

That's a lot of fucking Post Malone

She just announced her new album coming out this June too

What is his appeal? I have trouble getting it.

I can't answer that because I have too much pride to listen to any of his music.

Well, that was fast.

And unexpected. I mean, the video for "This is America" is fantastic, but I'm not really sure how I feel about the song itself.

Also, there seems to be a lot of re-entries going on this year. I thought "Perfect" would have faded by now.

The video and song are meant to be taken together. It's less a music video and more a short set to music.

Childish Gambino is #1 for a second week.

Why are the two worst songs off Ye also the ones that are getting big? I mean, I'm glad Ghost Town is in the top 20 cause that's by far the best thing on the album, but of all tracks, All Mine is an odd one.

Next week’s chart will be flooded with XXXTentacion, won’t it?

I've disliked all the other Reputation singles I've heard, but Delicate is okay - sorta sounds like a 1989 leftover but it's listenable. I saw the video once and now the song and her deliberately goofy dancing are inseparable in my mind, and somehow I like it more for that.

Am I the only one who is seeing some connection between Sean Mendes' In My Blood and Chester Bennington? Maybe it's a bit of a stretch, but it is a song about struggling with depression that includes the line "crawling in my skin"

XXXTentacion hits the number-one spot in the wake of his death.

WOW...Drake has officially reached his zenith. Even with me personally not being much of a fan, I gotta give credit where credit is due.

he really deserves no credit. not only are fans of drake not as into scorpion as his older stuff, but all he really did was release a fuckton of tracks. of course some of them would chart that high.
