Every Drake Hot 100 Hit, Ranked: Staff Picks
Drake's top Billboard Hot 100 chart songs, ranked from worst to best.
“Just Wanna Rock” gets most of the credit for sending it overground, but, with the syncopated kick thumps and ceaseless bed squeaks of “Currents,” Drake was about six months ahead of the Jersey club wave that swept through Uzi and the rest of pop and hip-hop from late 2022 to early 2024. Based on the title, many thought Drake would come out the gate guns blazing taking aim at Virginia-bred foes Pharrell and Pusha T. Instead, the pump-fake welcomes fans into For All The Dogs with a fluttering pitched-up Frank Ocean sample where he compares a woman to the ruggedness of Virginia Beach. With Thugger behind bars as the YSL RICO case continues on, the OVO/Slime chemistry is lacking on the Lil Keed tribute “Parade On Cleveland.” It’s essentially two solo tracks connected by a Cobb County Jail call with Drake checking in on Young Thug who plays it cool “Pushin Peter.” — MS
