TOP MONEYMAKERS:
DRIZZY’S DAGGER
Just when you thought the playing field had been leveled, Drake hits a deep three and restores order—much like Kevin Durant in Game 3 Wednesday night. The Toronto sharpshooter occupies the #1, 2 and 3 slots on our latest Songs Revenue Chart, shoving aside challengers Post Malone and Childish Gambino.
Drizzy’s featured appearance on Lil Baby’s “Yes Indeed” helped make the track the top earner for the second straight week, and his own “Nice for What” kept its lock on #2, while his latest, “I’m Upset,” finished third in its first week. Throw in “God’s Plan” at #6, and we’re looking at a total of $669,203; just another week in the office for Drake—who, you may have heard, will drop a new album this month.
The biggest jump (40%) was made by Juice Wrld’s “Lucid Dreams (Forget Me),” which moved up seven slots to #5, while A$AP Rocky’s new “Praise the Lord (The Shine)” landed at #10 while clearing six figures.
As for label representation on the big board, Republic has four and RCA has two, while UMG hogs 70% of the music-group action, including the top six earners. As for the Top 50…
UMG 68%, WMG 17%, Sony Music 15%
