Song Streams & Revenue

It’s a new week and a new song revenue chart. As reported by Hits Daily Double, which tracks streaming revenue week over week, the above chart reflects the streaming period from September 20 to 26.

“Not Like Us” and “Million Dollar Baby” continue their summer reign on the charts into the fall. Meanwhile, Future’s new project, MIXTAPE PLUTO, was able to secure positions in the top 20 with “Teflon Don“ and “Lil Demon,” while other songs like “Too Fast” and “Plutoski” earned their way to the top 50 overall.

Pharrell and Tyler, the Creator Have Heat OTW

Pharrell has been giving the world teasers of what’s to come from the soundtrack to his new movie Piece by Piece. He dropped the title track on September 6 but has been silent about who else will be featured on the project until now. He finally unveiled the full tracklist on October 2, featuring a collaboration with longtime friend Tyler, the Creator.

Pharrell’s new project has bangers

The duo has been extremely vocal about their respect and brotherly love for one another, such as when Tyler gave Pharrell his flowers at the Something In The Water festival.

They have worked together for years on musical projects like 2022’s “Cash In Cash Out” and even in fashion with Tyler designing a capsule collection for Louis Vuitton as Pharrell continues to serve as the menswear creative director this year. Their new song is called “Virginia Boy (Remix),” and fans are already hyped (while not patiently waiting for Tyler to drop another solo album).

The rest of the tracklist includes classics like “Drop it Like It’s Hot” with Snoop Dogg and more modern hits like “Get Lucky” with Daft Punk. Check out the full list below:

• It's Happening

• Piece By Piece

• Virginia Boy (Remix) [featuring Tyler, The Creator]

• L'Ego Odyssey

• For Real

• Maybe (featuring N.E.R.D)

• God Bless Us All (featuring N.E.R.D)

• Senorita (featuring Justin Timberlake)

• Rock Star (featuring N.E.R.D)

• Rump Shaker (featuring Wreckx-N-Effect)

• Superthug (featuring N.O.R.E.)

• I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me) [featuring JAY-Z]

• Drop It Like It's Hot (featuring Snoop Dogg)

With the film already getting solid reviews from critics on the festival scene, the upcoming soundtrack seems to add more excitement to its October 11 release.

Drake Takes Another L as Fashion Nova Debuts “BBL Drizzy” Costume

The brand Fashion Nova is known for their Halloween costumes being either super sexy or super stupid (they literally have a “holy shit” costume for sale). However, no one could have called that they would take the spooky holiday as a chance to insert themselves in the Kendrick and Drake beef.

Is it Drake or BBL Drizzy?

Using a model that looks like the rapper wearing a “Papi” sweatshirt (an obvious reference to “Champagne Papi”) and his rainbow clip hairstyle, the finishing touch is the BBL butt sticking out of their jeans. Of course, the model also had to create his own foil grills to really sell the Drake look.

Ever since Rick Ross first called Drake “BBL Drizzy” in April, the Internet took off and ran with it. Metro Boomin even created a disstrumental beat challenge around the nickname amid the rap civil war, having everyone from little kids to baseball fans singing along to the song. 

Despite Drake also getting a decent shot off at Metro with the lyrics, “Metro, shut your ho ass up and make some drums, n****,” you probably won’t see any ATL drummer boy costumes this Halloween. If anyone does cop the BBL Drizzy costume, it would be criminal not to play the matching Metro beat while wearing it.

With K. Dot announced as the Super Bowl performer and now this insulting costume, Drake probably should sit this one out and work on his collab album with PARTYNEXTDOOR at the ranch.
