The omission being branded as veiled shade sent the ‘Am I the Drama?’ hitmaker on the defense this week, calling out the fan group (called #Barbz) for attempting to stir up drama where there was none.

In the Hot 100’s 68-year history, the Canadian hitmaker (born Aubrey Graham) has more top 10s (91), top 40s (244), and overall appearances on the chart (407) than any act ever – making him the most-decorated artist the tally has ever seen.
