The rapper’s reign continues thanks to his joint project ‘$ome $exy $ongs 4 U’ with PartyNextDoor, which spawned streaming staples like ‘Nokia’ and ‘Somebody Loves Me’ alongside a successful tour.

Drake kept momentum high with a string of icy pre-album singles from his upcoming ‘Iceman,’ including collaborations with Central Cee, Yeat, and Julia Wolf.

His fan-engaging livestreams also helped fuel the hype, creating real-time buzz around each drop.

Elsewhere on ‘Replay ’25,’ Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s ‘Luther’ remains a fan favorite, while hits from Morgan Wallen, Lady Gaga, The Weeknd, and Lil Baby also dominate the U.S. roundup.
