Drake’s ‘Nokia’ Becomes His Midweek ‘$exy $ongs’ Breakout Hit, ‘Gimme a Hug’ Leads to Aaron Hall Gains

Drake's "Nokia" has been the midweek breakout hit from his and PartyNextDoor's '$ome $exy $ongs 4 U' album.

This week: Drake’s new album with PartyNextDoor has a mid-week breakout hit, Charli XCX has a pre- Brat viral bump, Riley Green’s song (and video) for the lovers sees seasonal gains, and more. With backing vocals and a beat helmed by U.K. producer Elkan, “Nokia” – also credited solely to Drake – had the usual big streaming drop following its first day of release, but has been climbing throughout the week. Charli XCX ’s enormous 2024 — which included the critical and commercial success of her Brat album and its accompanying Sweat tour alongside Troye Sivan — has already pushed into 2025, thanks to a fruitful Grammys night and more arena headlining dates.
