No unfortunately, Tootsie Slide is the thing that comes closest. Drake lost a lot of his international allure over the last few years because of pandering too much to the US with boring ‘trap’ hits. He needs to get back on pop. And I say this as a Drake stan
Blinding Lights
The Box
Stay
Levitating
Heat Waves
As It Was
Last Night
Kill Bill
Life Is Good
These are megahits
There hasn’t been a mega hit since BL
titi me pregunto
Biggest hit of the decade in terms of hearing that s*** OUTSIDE honestly
There hasn’t been a mega hit since BL
If you wanna take it there I will but I’m being nice Brave atm it’s lowkey true
What are examples of songs from this decade you consider to be mega hits
Essence
Mmm actually Wait 4 U was pretty huge
I can agree with and understand Life is Good and Wait 4 U (even though Life is Good YouTube situation is mad sus)
But I’m really asking about songs where Drake is the lead artist

I guess it depends what you consider a mega hit when Water is one

Heavy on the Blinding Lights

laugh now cry later counts too, it spent like 25 weeks in the top 10 and only got blocked from #1 by WAP.
YO IF YALL NIGGAS SAYNG WAIT 4 U IS A MEGA HIT HOW TF WATER AINT?
IT WAS THE BIGGEST SONG OF THAT YEAR
"citing Billboard stats and streaming numbers and platinum certifications as their evidence."
well yes.
Drake has a big fanbase and a bunch of casual listeners that are constantly listening to his discography. Anything that he drops always get good streaming numbers and big peaks – that doesn’t make them big hits that are known by the general people
The average person out there never heard “Search and Rescue”, although this song charted at #2 in the first week
Just like Taylor Swift, another artist with a massive fanbase and casual listeners… she has a bunch of random songs that have massive streaming numbers and multiple certifications
Are these songs big hits?

If I had to choose one, that’s probably the closest one for me. I love that song, but idk something about it just doesn’t feel that huge. It feels to me like people already forgot about and/or moved on from that song

It’s the one. It would be cool to see if another artist can drop one that’s even more of a classic

LMAO
Yall only acting like this cause it just came out relatively speaking that song is a mega hit bro it gave her a tour lmaooo

It’s huge but MEGA? That’s a different level (I don’t say Wait 4 U is mega either)

Neither are mega they’re just hits with limited competition

Nothing in rap has kinda held lasting power this decade
The closest thing we have to that in black music this decade is Bad Habits (that’s kinda a mega hit)

I agree with this. It feels like the biggest rap songs this decade are either The Box or Just Wanna Rock (rap-adjacent)
