Hip Hop Single Sales: Drake Takes Over & Nicki Minaj Plummets
April 2, 2017 | 12:37 PM
Meanwhile, songs from Drake’s More Life project took over one fifth of the chart, but didn’t do enough to prevent Bruno Mars from claiming another #1.
Bruno Mars Retakes #1
Hawaiian pop star Bruno Mars reclaims his spot at #1 on the Single Sales chart with a slight uptick in sales for “That’s What I Like” and also lands in #4 with “24K Magic.” Both tracks are in their 18th week on the chart.
The Weeknd’s Starboy single “I Feel It Coming” rises to #2 and Kyle’s “iSpy” with Lil Yachty continues its ascent with the #3 spot.
Drake’s More Life Takeover
Toronto superstar Drake was all over last week’s sales chart with 23 entries — mostly from his new More Life playlist project. The highest entry was “Portland,” which features Quavo and Travis Scott, coming in at #5.
Drake also broke records on the Hot 100, becoming the solo artist with the most overall entries on that chart, with 154, as well as the most concurrent songs in a week, with 24.
Nicki Minaj’s #3PackFromParis Falls Off
Nicki Minaj, who held three of the Top 5 spots on last week’s chart, sees her #3PackFromParis drop, with “No Frauds” plummeting from #1 to #27 with an 87% reduction in sales and the Lil Wayne-featuring “Changed It” going from #5 to #89. “Regret In Your Tears” didn’t place on the latest chart after debuting at #4 the previous week. Her week-over-week declines were the biggest on the chart.
Her song with David Guetta and Lil Wayne debuted at #87.
