The track itself was insanely catchy, the beat switch had people going nuts.

It wasn't just because of Drake. The song was just brilliant.

Absolutely, the song is incredible.

But even if it was a completely different song, it was still bound to be the highest streamed song on the album because Drake is on it, that’s the case with literally every album he’s featured on.

That’s why I’m saying the sole fact that it’s the highest streamed song on the album doesn’t automatically mean it’s the de facto best song

Yeah I don't know what people are going on about. The whole song is fire.

It went platinum after a month and diamond in 2 years and four months.

if that’s not the highlight of the album idk what is

Then we're venturing into the realms subjectivity because there might be songs we may not agree on.

Sicko Mode had everything (including Drake) that made it reach diamond in under 3 years and spent 30 weeks in the top 10 billboard 100.

It was the highlight of the album BUT Astroworld had other songs that were also insanely good and catchy.

Well yes of course, there’s only subjectivity in music.

That’s another reason why you can’t be objective and say the most popular song on album is the outright best song, because there are a lot of various factors that contribute to a song’s success rather than just the quality of the song

Bro, my face when I heard Drizzy come back round at the beat switch for the first time

When I heard the Tay Keith tag I knew Ye was about to catch some bars 😭 “crept down the block… made a right… cut the lights… pay the price…”

insane

It’s still not better than Travis verse

Travis literally killed him on Sicko Mode

Papi angles won’t admit it anyway but still Trav more focused than Drake has been the whole time..

listen bro.. music is subjective but when 99% of people agree that travis got OBLITERATED and outshined on sicko mode.. you look a little crazy

drake had 15 seconds on the first beat and was more memorable than the entire trav verse on it 😭

S O O N

This chart does speak to Drake’s presence on a record, but also, isn’t Sicko Mode just the proper single from the album?? I know we don’t chat like that anymore, but I can imagine most albums with a lead single have charts like this

Uhh a regular lead single from the album doesn’t casually going diamond in two years.

We gotta give credit to travis for putting all that together too. Its a masterpiece from everyone involved

no one eben remembers his part

If that’s the best thing he had to say about the album, that’s crazy and not looking good for Trav

Anyone who thinks Travis’s verse is better is just crazy. That song alone getting streamed the way it did shows how important Drake’s verse was.
