Chart-topping artist Drake has once again demonstrated his significant presence in the music industry, as his newest offering, “What Did I Miss?”, secured an impressive No. 2 position on the prestigious Billboard Hot 100 chart. This achievement expands his unmatched record to 81 Top 10 entries, solidifying his status as an artist with an extraordinary track record on the charts.

Launched on digital platforms on July 5th, following its premiere during a YouTube livestream event on July 4th, the song quickly captivated audiences. Although “What Did I Miss?” was prevented from reaching the pinnacle by Alex Warren’s “Ordinary,” it garnered a substantial 22.6 million streams, leading both the Streaming Songs and Digital Song Sales charts. This single marks Drake’s initial solo release of 2025, succeeding a collaborative effort with PARTYNEXTDOOR earlier in the year. Drake openly conveyed his ambition to claim the No. 1 spot, alluding to upcoming musical projects and hinting at a forthcoming collaboration with Cench, which is anticipated later this week. Furthermore, “What Did I Miss?” was unveiled just days prior to Drake’s headlining performances at the 2025 Wireless Festival in the U.K., where he surprised fans by bringing out a diverse array of artists including PartyNextDoor, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Giveon, Bryson Tiller, Skepta, Headie One, Central Cee, Dave, Vybz Kartel, and Burna Boy, among others, across various themed nights.

Drake's consistent pursuit of excellence and his prolific output continue to redefine success in the music landscape. His unwavering ambition to secure the top position, coupled with his willingness to explore new collaborations and perform with a wide range of artists, underscores his dedication to his craft and his audience. Such tenacity not only propels his own career forward but also inspires aspiring artists to relentlessly pursue their dreams, demonstrating that persistence and a positive outlook can lead to extraordinary achievements and lasting impact.
