Drake’s Impressive Streak Ends After Completely Falling Off The Billboard Hot 100 Chart

by

In the modern era, there aren’t many more musical artists quite like Drake. The Canadian native is a titan when it comes to performing on the charts. You can argue the quality of his music over the last several years has dropped. But overall, no matter how some may feel, the guy is almost always near the top of the heap and that goes for any genre. All you have to do is go back to yesterday when it was reported that he was the top streaming rapper for September on Spotify, keeping his streak of pulling in the most for every month in 2024 alive.

However, there may be a chance that he loses that incredible run. There are a lot of rappers that could knock him of the pedestal. After all, all good things come to end. Unfortunately, that has actually come to fruition as of today for one of Drake’s spectacular stats/runs. According to Rap TV, with this week’s Billboard Hot 100 chart update, The Boy is no longer on the list in any capacity.

Obviously, in this case, that means no singles nor features. It’s extra saddening for him because he’s been on the Hot 100 every week since April 2022. This could be looked at in a multitude of ways. Of course, with the recent end to the Kendrick Lamar feud, some are going to point to people seeing him differently after some of things that were laid out in the disses. Another viewpoint would be that the lack of quality (which we mentioned earlier) could be factoring in enough for a lot of hip-hop fans. Furthermore, there’s also the fact that he has not been dropping a ton outside of the beef.

What are your thoughts on Drake not having a single or a feature on the Billboard Hot 100 anymore? Do you think this has to do more with his quality dropping off, or because of Kendrick Lamar? Will he ever have that long of a streak again? When will he return to the chart? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Drake. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

NBA MVP Voting Ends Historic Streak

by

On May 2, the NBA officially announced Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid as the 2022-23 MVP. For most of the season, it seemed as though the Denver Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic would become the fourth player in NBA history to win back-to-back-to-back MVPs. However, Embiid pulled away in the final weeks of the season to cap off a career year with the MVP title.

Jokic finished second behind Embiid, earning 15 first-place votes. Behind him was the Milwaukee Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo with 12 first-place votes. The top five was rounded by Jayson Tatum (Boston Celtics) and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Oklahoma City Thunder). However, with these five players earning MVP nominations, it put an end to a historic streak.

LeBron Misses Out On MVP Votes For First Time Ever

There is no debating that LeBron James is one of the greatest players to every pick up a basketball. He entered the league 20 years ago as a fresh-faced 18-year-old out of St Vincent-St Mary’s High School in Akron, Ohio. However, his impact was immediately felt around the league. Even as a rookie, LeBron finished 9th in MVP voting. Over the next 19 seasons, he has four MVP titles. In 2021, he broke the record for the most number of seasons receiving MVP votes. The previous record was set at 17 by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Last year, LeBron received a single vote for MVP, setting his streak at 19 seasons. That was despite only playing 56 games for the Lakers.

However, with LeBron receiving zero votes for the 2022-23 season, his historic streak is over. It is the first time in the legend’s career that he has not received at least one MVP vote. It does not come as a surprise to many though. LeBron saw an overall decline across the board statistically in a season significantly impacted by injury. While LeBron is showing no sign of retiring and has publicly stated that he wants to at least share the court with his son, Bronny, his days of MVP consideration may be over. Despite this, LeBron could be in line for another ring this year. His Lakers are currently 1-0 up against the Warriors in the second round of the NBA playoffs.
