The big news this week was Epic’s DJ Khaled dropping two Drake singles, “POPSTAR” and “Greece.” Rick Sackheim and Dontay Thompson are set to impact “POPSTAR” this week and the latter in two weeks.

Interscope’s DaBaby finds himself back at #1 this week with “Rockstar” f/Roddy Ricch, further proving that big hits have a way of sticking around. Nino Cuccinello is just getting started on the Trevor Daniel X Selena Gomez’s “Past Life,” and it is off to a solid start, up 155 spins and off to the races at Top 40. They are also impacting Juice WRLD’s new “Wishing Well,” so look for it to have a solid week.

RCA’s Lori G and Inca take Chris Brown X Young Thug’s “Go Crazy” Top 3 this week, up 700 spins! This is the week they shoot for #1 and the path looks to be wide open. Doja Cat’s “Like That” f/Gucci Mane (Kemosabe) holds at #9, up 265 spins. Mulatto’s “B***h From Da Souf” moves back on the chart at #39.
