The вЂњ2вЂќ in the title alone is a dead giveaway, but so is the chorus. Unlike Taylor SwiftвЂ™s 2017 No.В 1 вЂњ Look What You Made Me DoвЂќ-which was also a big payday for RSFвЂ™s Fairbrass brothers, thanks to Tay preemptively giving them co-writing credit, despite borrowing nothing more than the cadence of their chorus (say it again with me, folks: Thanks for nothing, вЂњBlurred LinesвЂќ!)-DrakeвЂ™s new chart topper is essentially a remake. As its name suggests, вЂњWay 2 SexyвЂќ is a reboot of вЂњ IвЂ™m Too Sexy,вЂќ the 1992 No.В 1 smash by British club-pop group Right Said Fred.

The name of this Slate series isnвЂ™t вЂњWhy Are These Nine Songs Bodying the Top 10?вЂќ ItвЂ™s вЂњ Why Is This Song No.В 1?вЂќ So before I dissect the integrity of these chart records by our Canadian overlord, I should address the track that wound up atop the dog pile. And by taking Nos.В 1 through 5 on the chart-dammit, Laroi, couldnвЂ™t you have placed one notch higher?!-Drake ties a record long thought unrepeatable: the BeatlesвЂ™ April 4, 1964, sweeping of the HotВ 100вЂ™s entire Top Five. By instantly scoring nine Top 10 singles from Certified Lover Boy, Drake beats a record for most Top 10 singles from an album that was previously held by Michael Jackson, his sister Janet Jackson, and Bruce Springsteen (plus Drake himself more on that in a moment).

(The only spoiler to what would have been an all-Drake Top 10: the No.В 6 placement by the former No.В 1 вЂњ StayвЂќ by the Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber.) DrakeвЂ™s near-sweep of the winnersвЂ™ circle sets all sorts of records that are giving headaches to chart historians this past week, like yours truly.

Within the TopВ 10, вЂњSexyвЂќ is one of nine new Drake tracks-from вЂњ Girls Want GirlsвЂќ featuring Lil Baby at No.В 2, to вЂњ Love AllвЂќ featuring Jay-Z at No.В 10. All 21 tracks on Certified Lover Boy debuted within the chartвЂ™s Top 40.

вЂњWay 2 SexyвЂќ by Drake featuring Future and Young Thug-a silly summit of sing-rappers, arguably the three biggest in that game-tops a HotВ 100 thatвЂ™s smothered in Drizzy Champagne.
