Drake Makes History On R&B/Hip Hop Airplay Chart

July 29, 2014 | 5:15 PM

by Andres Tardio

With Lil Wayne and Drake’s “Believe me” rising on the R&B/Hip Hop Airplay chart, Drake scores his 14th #1. This allows Drake to surpass Usher for the most #1s in the chart’s 22-year history, according to Billboard.

“Believe Me” also helps Wayne reach new heights. The song acts as his 10th #1 and helps him become only the third act to reach double-digit #1s, of course following Usher and Drake.

The greatest gainer on the chart is Oxymoron’s “Studio,” a cut by ScHoolboy Q that features BJ The Chicago Kid.

Wayne and Drake are set to embark on their upcoming Street Fighter themed Drake Vs. Lil Wayne tour. The tour, which has been referred to by the emcees as a battle, is set to run through 31 cities across the nation before coming to a close September 27 in Texas.

"Of what?" How to dominate the industry. For all of Kendrick's hype, he dropped the ball on that first album. He didn't outsell Drake. Had the mighty Interscope machine behind him. Dre as his mentor, and he did what, 1.3 mill? Furthermore, kings don't get outsold by Macklemore. Say what you will about Drake's image, and his sing songy style, but at the end of the day, he's doing it big. Look at the numbers. Look at the records. It's all sky's the limit. To deny him his just due simply cause you don't like him is just fucking stupid.

Drake ain't dominating anything. Kendrick is doing fine for himself. His first album did okay for an independent release and his second did well with Interscope and Dre behind him. You act like GKMC did Slaughterhouse numbers when he sold more than other rappers out now. You wanna talk about disappointing numbers, look at French Montana, who also has the Interscope machine behind him and he barely did 150K total. Kendrick doesn't need to have big sales to be the best (besides, Drake and Macklemore aren't the only rappers out there), he just need to make the best records, which he does. Talk again when you don't have Aubrey's nutsack on your chin.

If that were true, 50 would have had at least 5-6 hits off Animal Ambition.

It's more like The Gay Era, homosexuals are buying Drakes stuff up & making him seem popular. Just look at all the fags on here like Real Talk, dental, Champagne Papi, & Drake runs rap, all fucking queers.

Listen brothers and sisters, FACTS ARE FACTS!!! Drake & Wayne isn't performing in Madison Sq Garden! Which is in NYC. He's not performing in Giant Stadium! Which is in NJ. He's performing in Saratoga Performing Arts Center and PNC Bank Art Center. Two very, very small arenas! Fact! Check Ticketmaster bitch! He's not as popular as you think. Point blank!!!

LOL! Madison square garden sits 18500, PNC Bank Arts Centre sits 17800. I think you will find its more to do with the production and the props rather than lack of ticket sales...

call a spade a spade.. regardless of how you feel about him, the fact is this.. when Drake drops a song, the whole hip hop world listens and learns it that day. and then 30 rappers will remix it within the next week. He has more control over the game right now than any other rapper does. He's just as dominant as jay was in the early 2000s. simple as that. opinions can't change impact.

Good point. People can hate someone all they want, but the facts speak for themselves. Dropping #1 song after #1 song is a feat very few accomplish. Give Drake his just due cause his competition can't do what he does. If they could, they would.

No, he can't be more dominant than Hov. Drake isn't even a good actor/businessman.

Drake can be more dominant than Jay-Z. Jay-Z is much older than Drake. Drake can also act and has proven that he has good business acumen.

Nah, honest. You're overthinking this. Drake ain't controlling anything and he'll never be as dominant as Jay. And not every of his makes an impact.

The reason people remix it, is for the simple fact that he sounds like garbage on the record or simply sounds like someone ghost wrote the lyrics for him and it doesn't sound right when he talks that big boy talk. Also it doesn't hurt that the production is on point. ;)
