Drake shared “Signs,” the first song he’s released since dropping More Life in early 2017. The bests of the pack are (expectedly) Drake and Offset, who with one solo feature and two Migos attendances ties Drake’s total of three. Behind them are PartyNextDoor, Metro Boomin, Quavo, and Offset with two separately. New tracks hardly missing out on spots this week include Vince Staples and Kendrick Lamar‘. “Yeah Right” (#12), The-Dream and Fabolous’ “Summer Body” (#14), A$AP Ferg‘s “Tango” (#15), and Young Thug, Snoop Dogg and Lil Durk‘s “Get High” (#18).
There are no relics from last week in an all-new edition of Top Tracks.
1. Drake – Signs
Make partnerships are not ever as stirring as new music that’s not tense to outside corporate welfares, but hey, a new solo Drake track is a new solo Drake track. Individuals appreciated his features this week way more so than they enjoyed “Signs,”.
Meanwhile, the producer Streetrunner initiated leaky outtakes from Tha Carter III sessions last year, Lil Wayne loses and leaks have become more ordinary. The latest, “YFS,” is also the maximum rated entry from Appreciation 9 on our list, garnering an 84%.
A new Drake song all the way down at #3? Those only mean a few things: 1) more Drake songs came out this week 2) maybe even a new Lil Wayne song 3) Drake’s probably not the lead artist. His remix of PND’s “Freak In You” debuts at #4.
5. Meek Mill – Who The Fuq Is Stevie J?
This Meek Mill freestyle, suitably titled “Who The Fuq Is Stevie J?” For anybody who’s been missing Meek straight spitting over high-octane trap production, this one’s for you. It debuts at #5.
“Loud Pack” is the track on this week’s list by the artists from the farthest external the conventional, but it’s also the one with the peak user rating. Tory Lanez and Dave East rack up a 93%, just thrashing Metro Boomin, Drake, and Offset by three percent. “Loud Pack” debuts at #6.
7. Gucci Mane Feat. Chris Brown – Tone It Down
“Tone It Down” follows up “Party,” a single from last December that had Breezy and GuWop exchange parts. It debuts at #7. Gucci Mane took a fleeting break from liberating projects between The Return of East Atlanta Santa and DropTopWop, but less than three weeks after the release of the latter, he’s already back with a new single.
8. Migos – Do You Love Me
A next sequential Appreciation 9 cut, Migos’ “Do You Love Me” is tied with Khaled and Co.’s “Iced Out My Arms” and Drake’s “Signs” for the lowest rating on the list this week at 66%. It debuts at #8.
The ATL mob cut was evidently underwhelming though, as its 66% user rating is absolutely not what you’d imagine seeing from a track with such an invitee list. “Iced Out My Arms” debuts at #10. On an album full of glittering cuts, “Iced Out My Arms” has the largest range of ability outside of “I’m The One.”
Only four of these ten new tracks don’t feature an artist who performs more than once this week. Of the fifteen that act this week, only five aren’t from Atlanta or Toronto. Everything that performed in last weeks top ten is gone today, ousted by a new crop of big-ticket songs from an astoundingly small circle of artists.
