Drake is back on top. Reloading his For All The Dogs album with the Scary Hours Pack, The Boy returned to the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200.

The album moved 145,000 album-equivalent units in the week, a 102% increase, according to Billboard.

The Scary Hours edition delivered six new singles to the album, including “Evil Ways” another collaboration between Drake and J. Cole.

In No. 2 is Taylor Swift with 1989 (Taylor’s Version), who received a shoutout from Drake on the Scary Hours track “Red Button.”

“Taylor Swift the only n**** that I ever rated / Only one could make me drop the album just a little later”

You can hear the single below.

Is Drake’s ‘Scary Hours 3’ Coming Soon?

Even with Drake’s newest album just hours away from release (theoretically), it looks like his fans can’t help but speculate about what else he’s got up his sleeve. While For All The Dogs is scheduled to drop this Friday, October 6 (less than twelve hours away as of this writing), there’s already a rumor going around that the third installment of his EP series Scary Hours is already on the way. As with many Drake rumors, it started with a cryptic post of his on social media — in this case, an Instagram Story reading, “Scary Hours for those who remain sleepless after all these years… shall we begin?”

Is Drake’s ‘Scary Hours 3’ Coming Soon?

Considering that Drake had to make a choice between finishing his tour and finishing For All The Dogs (choosing the album and pushing back its release date in the process), it seems unlikely that Drake has been simultaneously working on a second project. After all, such a release would probably only take attention from his new album — something that would be pretty counterproductive after the months he’s spent seeding excitement for it.

However, given the timing of the post, it was more likely a last-second promo for his new single “8AM In Charlotte.” Considering his propensity for the late-night recording sessions that often spawn his so-called “timestamp songs,” he was probably hyping fans up its release. Of course, given Twitter users’ fondness for deciphering clues (even ones that aren’t there) and taking practically everything literally, it seems that the figurative “scary hours” — i.e., Drake’s favored time for wrapping up projects with these freestyles — were mistaken for a reference to the Scary Hours EPs. He had certainly been teasing one back in June 2022.

Either way, it’s looking spooky out there for Drake haters as he preps the launch of his eighth studio album, just weeks before Halloween.

Drake Declares That We’re Officially In “Scary Hours” Ahead Of “For All The Dogs”

We’re hours away from the release of For All The Dogs, Drake’s next studio album. The rapper announced the project along with his poetry book but unfortunately, pushed back its original September release date. Although fans had to wait a few more weeks, the rapper gave us much to look forward to. Between “Search & Rescue,” joining Central Cee for their “On The Radar” freestyle,” tapping SZA for “Slime You Out,” and this morning’s “8 AM In Charlotte,” Drizzy Drake’s been cooking up a special body of work.

While the album is intended to drop on October 6th, just ahead of his homecoming show in Toronto, the rapper will be hosting a special episode of Table For One on the SiriusXM Channel, Sound42. It’s not entirely certain what to expect but it seems like he might give fans an early preview of his forthcoming album. If not debuting the whole album, then certainly previewing a song or two. Earlier this year, he utilized the channel to debut “Search & Rescue” and the Lil Uzi Vert-assisted, “At The Gates.”

We’re Entering “Scary Hours”

As he gears up to drop For All The Dogs, Drizzy sent out an ominous message at the wee hours of the morning. After dishing out his latest timestamp single, the rapper took to his Instagram Story to declare that we’ve officially entered “scary hours.” “Scary hours for those who remain sleepless after all these years…” he wrote. “Shall we begin?” In a following post, he declared For All The Dogs “one of the best ever.” 

This morning’s “8 AM In Charlotte” had much to unpack, from potential disses towards Kanye West and Adonis’ appearance. The music video shared on his official Instagram page, includes an explanation behind Adonis’ cover art for the upcoming project, while the 5-year-old adorably refers to Drake as “daddy goat.” Hopefully, we’ll be getting more bars from Drake tonight. What do you expect from For All The Dogs? Let us know in the comments below.

Drake Debuts New Radio Show, Drops Two More Tracks, Teases Poetry Book

Drake is having an incredibly busy long weekend, seemingly dropping new projects left and right. In addition to dropping the much-discussed dance-inspired album Honestly, Nevermind, Drizzy also premiered his new SiriusXM radio show, Table for One. 

On the show, he discussed his exploration into new sounds for the album as well as teased two more new tracks: “Confusion” and “I Could Never.”

“Confusion” features Drake’s signature crooning over some solid mid-tempo EDM-type beats while “I could never” is a slowed-down lyrical ballad interspersed with piano riffs and dynamic beats. 

He also teased another Scary Hours pack to come in the near future as well as a poetry book. Needless to say, fans are to see what Drake does next since nothing seems outside of the realm of possibility for the multifaceted artist anymore.

On a blog on SiriusXM’s website, Drake explained the rationale behind the name of his new show, stating: “I called it Table For One ’cause more times when I really need to lock in, focus, I always get a table in whatever restaurant to myself. Have some drinks, go through music, figure out what the next moves are for me and where everything is at, so that’s kind of what the show’s about. This show’s just about zoning out. I’m excited to bring this to you permanently. Table For One, we do it all without doing the most.”

Drake has been busy over the past 24 hours, most notably with the announcement and then quick release of his new album, Honestly, Nevermind, as well as a video for “Falling Back.” That’s not all, though, as last night also saw the premiere episode of Table For One, his new radio show on SiriusXM.

The episode aired at 11 p.m. ET, just before the release of Honestly, Nevermind. On the show, though, he was already talking about what’s coming next, saying, “Me and Kenzo have a book coming out this year. Yeah, we have a book coming out this year, a poetry book. So I hope you guys tune into that, too, because that’s going to be some sh*t.”

Immediately after that, he made another reveal, adding, “I got another Scary Hours pack coming, too, in a little bit. Maybe not, like [laughs]… maybe not right now; I need you to just take this [Honestly, Nevermind] in right now. But I have a Scary Hours, I’m gonna slap some head tops off with a Scary Hours pack.”

He also spoke about Honestly, Nevermind, saying, “I’m about to play you an album that means the world to me. It took us about six, seven months to make, maybe. Something that I always wanted to do. I don’t really want to over-explain it, I just want to play it because it’s just a bunch of music that I love.”

It Looks Like Drake Is Dropping ‘Scary Hours 2’ This Week

Before Drake dropped his latest album, Scorpion, in the summer of 2018, he released his two-track Scary Hours EP a few months before. Now, it looks like Drake will be employing a similar strategy for Certified Lover Boy, as he has taken to Instagram to apparently announce Scary Hours 2.

In a post from last night, Drake shared what appears to be cover art, which reads “Scary Hours” and features a pair of diamond shapes as well as a parental advisory label. He wrote, “FRIDAY MIDNIGHT,” with a skull and crossbones emoji, suggesting that the release is landing tomorrow.

This follows a March 1 update from Akademiks that read, “Drake told me to sit tight n relax… he said that ‘Whats Next’ record is just a ‘warm up ting’. He’s working overtime creating this next masterpiece… CLB on da way… fr. He also told me he shooting some videos.. prollly drop something this week. The Goat is back. Aubrey Champagne Papi Drake Graham.”

The original Scary Hours came out in January 2018 and was then followed by Scorpion that June. So, if Scary Hours 2 precedes his next album in a similar way, Certified Lover Boy could be out in the world in a matter of months.
