Drake isn’t slowing down.

The Toronto superstar’s latest single, "What Did I Miss?" debuts at No. 2 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 for the week of July 19, earning him his 74th Top 10 hit in Canada.


The track sees Drake reflect on the fallout with Kendrick Lamar, touching on shifting public perception and the friends who’ve distanced themselves since. “I don’t give a f– if you love me / I don’t give a f— if you like me / Askin’ me ‘How did it feel?’ / Can’t say it didn’t surprise me,” he raps on the hook, repeating the title’s question: “What did I miss?”

Despite the impressive debut, Drake didn’t hide his frustration at being held from the top spot by Alex Warren, whose hit « Ordinary » continues its reign at No. 1 for a sixth week in the U.S. and a 14th in Canada.

“Suppressor on the 1 spot,” Drake wrote in a July 14 Instagram Story, alongside a screenshot of the chart. “I’m taking that soon don’t worry one song or another. Rule changes and all.”

Warren later cheekily responded by dancing to Drake’s “Nokia” on his own Instagram Story.

 

Drake released “What Did I Miss?” mere days before his three-day headlining stint at 2025’s Wireless Festival, setting up for a potential comeback era. On the third and final night, he teased a new single with “On the Radar Freestyle” collaborator Central Cee that’s set to drop this Friday, July 18. He's been teasing an upcoming album called Iceman.

Drizzy has another song on the chart, with the infectious hit “Nokia” sitting at No. 28 in its 21st week on the chart.

 

Elsewhere on the chart, country singer Zach Bryan has two new entries. "River Washed Hair" enters at No. 60, followed by “Streets of London” at No.80. The two tracks are part of Bryan’s new album, Streets of London, which has yet to be released. While the former deals with seeking closure after a relationship, the latter unpacks a genuine feeling of being homesick.

At the top of the charts, Warren coasts at No. 1 with "Ordinary," while “Golden” from the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack rises 23-7, now in the Top 10 alongside Benson Boone’s “I’m Sorry I’m Here For Someone Else,” which climbs 10-8.

As for Canadian artists, Tate McRae has three charting songs with "Sports Car" at No. 17, "Just Keep Watching" at No. 24 and "Revolving Door" at No. 66. Cameron Whitcomb's "Quitter" spends its 40th week on the chart, staying firm at No. 40, while Karan Aujla & Ikky's "At Peace" stays on the chart at No. 47 after debuting last week in the top 10. Country singer Josh Ross's collab with Akon, "Drunk Right Now (Na Na Na)" moves down from 67-70. bbno

On the Canadian Albums chart, Morgan Wallen coasts for a seventh week at No. 1 with I’m The Problem. The popular KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack sits at No. 2, but even its devoted fanbase can't knock the country singer from the top slot.
