Drake's digital dominance has caused an immediate impact at DSPs and beyond. By midday Friday, tracks from Certified Lover Boy (OVO/Republic) occupied the entire Top 20 on Apple Music's U.S. chart.
Spotify announced an opportune deal to celebrate CLB: Premium on-demand streaming is free for two weeks for Drake fans around the globe.
Drake also rolled out a meme-worthy video for "Way 2 Sexy" f/Future & Young Thug, which interpolates Right Said Fred's "I'm Too Sexy." The visual has the rap stars cosplaying as boy band heart-throbs, action heroes, gym junkies, rock stars and more. Somehow, Drizzy was able to convince Toronto Raptor champ Kawhi Leonard to be a background dancer.
Watch the visual below to see Drake in dad-bod sexiness.
Let’s go @Drake! Certified Lover Boy just dropped and for the first week, your fans around the world can listen on-demand for free 💘
