Why is Drake’s “Take Care” doing so well all of a sudden?

TOP 5

5. $ome $exy $ongs 4 U – PARTYNEXTDOOR & Drake (18k)

Do you know how you can tell when an album is good? When every other week, you find a new song to latch onto. This time, folks are discovering “SPIDERMAN SUPERMAN.” Though the track is a slow jam despite the title, there’s something super slimy about it that I love. At the end of the day, would it be a stretch to say this is the best R&B album of the year?

4. Gunna – The Last Wun (19k)

I was listening to “CFWM” earlier today, and something hit me big-time: Gunna was talking major s**t throughout The Last Wun. As a matter of fact, he practically predicted the success of this album while also letting folks know he doesn’t care about what these other dudes are doing. Honestly, messaging like that has to resonate with folks in today’s world, which is probably why folks are running this album up a lot.

3. Drake – Take Care (20k)

Lowkey, Drake had one of the best birthdays ever. Yesterday, on his 39th birthday, he received a bunch of plaques, including one for his best album ever in Take Care. That plaque was a diamond one, the first since 2005, which was Eminem’s “Curtain Call” project. To add the cherry on the top is that the album is back in the top 20 on the Billboard charts.

2. NBA YoungBoy – MASA (22k)

NBA YoungBoy’s MASA album might have the most ethical run of any release this year. Out of 30 tracks, he only brought in two features — Playboi Carti and Mellow Rackz — meaning nearly all the momentum and praise surrounding the project is self-made. Love it or hate it, you’ve got to respect the grind and independence that come with that kind of creative control.

1. AM I THE DRAMA? – Cardi B (64k)

Cardi B has proven something that many people overlook — you don’t need to flood the game with a million albums to make an impact. Her track record speaks volumes: two albums, both hitting number one. That’s efficiency at its finest. Still, when she makes her next move, she might find the landscape a little different, especially with rising stars like Samara Cyn stepping up as the game’s potential female J. Cole.
