SONG REVENUE CHART:
DRAKE IS MONEY

Drizzy’s been giving it away, but not as fast as it keeps coming in, to the tune of another $320k from “God’s Plan” and $235k from Blocboy JB’s “Look Alive,” debuting on the Song Revenue Chart at #$2, on which he’s featured. Oh, and he also owns the label, OVO Sound. It’s good to be king.

Kendrick Lamar had a lucrative week as well, notching the #3 and #5 slots with his Black Panther singles featuring SZA and The Weeknd, respectively. The rest of the Top 50 is liberally sprinkled with additional cuts from the soundtrack album, including ScHoolboy Q, 2 Chainz & Saudi’s “X” at #8.

Ed Sheeran Migos, and Bruno Mars with Cardi B also repeat on the leaderboard, as does upstart Bazzi, with a 9% uptick, while the Zedd-Maren Morris-Grey collab appears at #10.

Marketshare scoreboard: UMG 60%, SME 20%, WMG 15%, Indies 4%
