In today’s music landscape, few artists can compare to Drake’s dominance. The Toronto rap superstar has consistently topped the charts, making an indelible mark on multiple genres. While some may argue that the quality of his music has declined in recent years, there’s no denying his ongoing commercial success. For instance, just yesterday, it was announced that Drake was the most-streamed rapper on Spotify for September, continuing his streak as the top-streamed artist for every month in 2024.

However, there’s now a possibility that his impressive run may come to an end. Many rappers are poised to challenge his reign, and as the saying goes, all good things must end. Unfortunately for Drake, one of his remarkable streaks has indeed concluded. According to Rap TV, the latest Billboard Hot 100 update reveals that Drake is no longer charting—neither with a single nor as a featured artist.

This marks the end of an era, as Drake had been a constant presence on the Hot 100 every week since April 2022. This sudden drop can be interpreted in several ways. Some speculate that the resolution of his feud with Kendrick Lamar may have shifted public perception, particularly after some of the points raised in their diss tracks. Others believe the perceived decline in the quality of his music may be playing a role, as fans may be less inclined to support his recent work. Additionally, it’s worth noting that Drake hasn’t released much music outside of the beef, which could also explain the lack of chart presence.

What do you think about Drake no longer having a single or feature on the Billboard Hot 100? Is this a reflection of a dip in his musical quality, or could Kendrick Lamar’s influence be at play? Do you think he’ll reclaim his spot and break another long streak?
