Not really, not everything is about Drake. There’s an entire list of Honorable Mentions they put out that could’ve deserved a spot:

billboard.com/lists/greatest-pop-stars-2024-honorable-mentions

:/

b**** i just rapped & it went pop!

So they acknowledged he did everything to deserve the spot and still didn’t give it to him for jelly roll who had a less year?

I’d even take the first artist in history with 3 #1 albums

ya maybe u right it is a bit shady

So he did have an interview this year? Oh yeah, the one with Sza

That kind of stuff don't work nowadays which is why labels don't force their artists to go. Only the pop stars do that cuz they have to. Huge rappers don't do stuff like that, it's not 2014 anymore

not gonna lie bro im finna have a field day with this s***

Could’ve made the NLU video way more scathing and viral. It has kinda underperformed given how huge the song is

Could’ve done a lot more promo on his album and not dropped it at the end of the year when the industry is closing up shop and Christmas records are dominating the charts. Also could’ve put NLU on his album and it’d fit sonically

Could’ve taken up shows across the US & Canada or made surprise appearances at other people’s shows

Could’ve been way more engaged with the media and been in the public eye more frequently. He literally just drops and keeps it pushing

Dawg there’s like 9 other artists they said could’ve gotten the spot too it’s not a shot at Drake lmao

Future
Shaboozey
Tyler the Creator
Drake
Glorilla
Eminem
Zach Bryan
Gracie Abrams

All could’ve replaced Jelly Roll at #10 tbh

Fr, thinking Jelly’s placement is a shot specifically at Drake is wild

wait, what does jelly roll have to do with Drake

drake's 2018 or kendrick's 2024

@Valentine said Billboard putting Jelly Roll at #10 was shade at Drake

Drake is one of the years biggest losers, he most certainly should not be here.

It’s not that. It’s being SEEN. The mysterious persona died with Kanye’s TLOP and Travis Scott’s Astroworld cause fans were welcomed in massively to a major stars processes

Interviews do still work. This Durk interview was a moment for his fans! So don’t say they don’t work. This interview alone took Durk even more mainstream cause it personalized him while boosting his celebrity

This interview too in the midst of Gunna/YSL’s run did a lot because you had a major figure welcoming in fans outside of just music

Hey now say now

In for shambles

drake being top rap artist and kendrick top pop is insane

this not a Drake thread brother

2018 was a hell of a year for drake
