Drake’s “Janice STFU” debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart. The song is from his album ICEMAN — as the set and his HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR blast in at Nos. 1, 2 and 3, respectively, on the Billboard 200, where he becomes the first artist to hold the top three simultaneously in the chart’s 70-year history. Also as previously reported, “Janice STFU” launches at No. 1 on the U.S.-based Billboard Hot 100.

Drake debuts eight songs in the Global 200’s top 10, all from ICEMAN, upping his total to a record 45 top 10s since the chart began in September 2020.

Meanwhile, BTS’ “Swim” scores a seventh week at No. 1 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart.

“Janice STFU” drew 69.4 million streams and sold 3,000 worldwide in its first week (May 15-21), according to Luminate.

Here is a rundown of Drake’s eight new Global 200 top 10s, all from ICEMAN and all of which debut, along with their worldwide streaming totals:

Drake joins BTS (April 4) and Taylor Swift (May 4, 2024) in claiming the Global 200’s top seven titles in a single week. Drake also holds eight of the top 10 for a second time, following the debut week for his album Certified Lover Boy (Sept. 18, 2021). BTS and Swift have each taken a record nine of the top 10, the former once and the latter four times.

Drake achieves his fourth Global 200 No. 1 (and fourth No. 1 debut), as “Janice STFU” follows “IDGAF,” featuring Yeat (Oct. 21, 2023); “Rich Flex,” with 21 Savage (Nov. 19, 2022); and “What’s Next” (March 20, 2021).

Plus, now up to 45 Global 200 top 10s, Drake surpasses Swift (42) for the most. Bad Bunny ranks third with 25. Future pushes his top 10 total to nine, while Santana notches her first.

“Swim” extends its No. 1 run on Global Excl. U.S. with 45.3 million streams (down 3%) and 2,000 sold (down 15%) outside the U.S.

Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” rises 3-2 for a new Global Excl. U.S. best; Justin Bieber’s “Beauty and a Beat” drops 2-3 after two weeks at No. 1 earlier this month; and Tame Impala and JENNIE’s “Dracula” is steady at No. 4.

Drake debuts five songs in the Global Excl. U.S. top 10: “Janice STFU” (No. 5), “National Treasures” (No. 7), “Ran to Atlanta” (No. 8), “Whisper My Name” (No. 9) and “Make Them Cry” (No. 10). He has tallied 11 top 10s on the chart; Future, three; and Santana, now one.

Shinedown furthers its record for the most No. 1s in Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart history, scoring its 23rd on the May 30 tally with “Safe and Sound.”

The ruler marks the band’s third in a row and second this year, following “Searchlight” in March and “Killing Fields” last September.

Shinedown first led Mainstream Rock Airplay, which began in 1981, with the 12-week No. 1 “Save Me” in 2005-06.

Most No. 1s, Mainstream Rock Airplay:

Of the 11 artists listed above, seven appear on the latest ranking. Following Shinedown, Three Days Grace’s “Don’t Wanna Go Home Tonight” rises to No. 10, becoming the band’s 28th top 10. Papa Roach’s “Wake Up Calling” is No. 15 after a three-week reign, and Five Finger Death Punch’s “Eye of the Storm” is the week’s top debut at No. 18. Rounding out the group: Volbeat’s “Demonic Depression” is No. 27 after a week at No. 1; Foo Fighters’ “Your Favorite Toy” places at No. 31, also after a week at No. 1; and Godsmack’s “When Legends Rise (Live at Mohegan Sun)” rounds out the group at No. 37.

“Safe and Sound” is the fourth song from Eight, Shinedown’s upcoming eighth studio album (May 29), to reach No. 1 on Mainstream Rock Airplay, with “Dance, Kid, Dance” last year joining the aforementioned three leaders.

Concurrently, “Safe and Sound” leaps 9-6 on the all-rock-format, audience-based Rock & Alternative Airplay chart with 3.5 million audience impressions in the week ending May 21, up 9%, according to Luminate. The song is also bubbling under Alternative Airplay.

He’s penned and/or produced some of the most quintessential songs in music history: Sam & Dave’s “Soul Man” and “Hold On, I’m Comin’.” Carla Thomas’ “B-A-B-Y.” Mable John’s “Your Good Thing (Is About to End).” The Emotions’ “So I Can Love You” and “Show Me How.” Now David Porter has chronicled his creative journey with writing partner Isaac Hayes as well as his stellar career — and still influential legacy — at Southern soul stronghold Stax Records in the new memoir, The Soul Man: Life of Songwriter David Porter.

Currently on a promotional junket on behalf of The Soul Man, Porter will stop next in New York City on June 10. On the eve of Memorial Day weekend, the three-time Grammy Award winner and Songwriters Hall of Fame member sat down inside Burbank, Calif.’s Evergreen Studios for an insightful Q&A with Jimmy Jam, one-half of the Grammy-winning songwriting/production duo with Terry Lewis. The special occasion brought out a who’s who in the music industry. Among those spotted in the audience: music icons Stevie Wonder and Peter Asher; Earth, Wind & Fire original member Ralph Johnson and singer-songwriter Siedah Garrett.

Evergreen Studios partner and former Recording Academy president/CEO Neil Portnow noted in his welcome remarks how Porter’s “love for and dedication to the music scene and the next generations of music makers in Memphis has shined a bright light for decades.” Then Jimmy Jam came onstage, declaring “there’s nothing this guy can’t do,” before presenting a video clip about Porter to set the tone for the chat.

Over the next hour, the 84-years-young Porter enthralled the audience with first-hand recollections about growing up in music mecca Memphis, singing in church and hanging out with childhood friends Maurice White (who later fronted Earth, Wind & Fire) and Booker T. Jones (leader of Booker T. & the M.G.’s). He also spoke about his start as a songwriter at then-fledgling Stax Records (initially known as Satellite Records).

In addition to the aforementioned Hayes, Sam & Dave, Thomas, John and The Emotions, Porter collaborated with other Stax luminaries including Otis Redding, William Bell and Rufus Thomas. Over the course of his more than six decades in music, Porter has heard his songs sampled by Mariah Carey, Notorious B.I.G., Will Smith and Wu-Tang Clan.

One anecdote that especially resonated with the audience was Porter’s recounting of what led to the creation of Stax’s immortal soul sound:

“We couldn’t beat Motown being Motown. They had amazing writers like Holland-Dozier-Holland before Stevie Wonder opened their eyes. And we couldn’t beat Burt Bacharach & Hal David, who found a way to make beautiful, extremely impressive records. But we could beat anybody when you talk about the spirituality of the church and emotional connectivity. So we found that our path was in creating signature lines off the bass, drums and guitar, and taking a lot of the spirituality from church.

“We didn’t know it would connect until it did,” Porter added. “And then when it did, we crystallized our efforts with every artist that we worked with to magnify their personalities. We learned that was our lane. That if we wanted to be effective in our lane, we had to stay true to it — and never lose the ability to feel and help other people feel you.”

What would Outkast’s “Hey Ya” sound like if it were played solo acoustic by Weezer singer Rivers Cuomo? How about Nirvana’s “Drain You” or Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)” as a sad boy emo ballad?

Over the weekend, Cuomo uploaded more than a dozen stripped-down covers to YouTube labeled “Private upload for playlist: randum cuverz,” most of which appeared to have been recorded in 2018 and 2019. The list opens with an emotional cover of Radiohead’s breakthrough 1992 single “Creep,” rendered even more fragile in Cuomo’s unadorned version.

It then dives into a quick-strummed take on André 3000’s “Hey Ya,” from Outkast’s landmark 2003 Speakerboxxx/The Love Below double album, with the song getting an indie rock makeover thanks to Cuomo’s multi-layered vocals and suburban dad breakdown on the “lend me some sugar” bit.

He also includes nearly a minute of a sweet cover of Green Day’s “When I Come Around,” a few urgent minutes of Nirvana’s “Drain You” (and a choppy, shouty “Lithium“) as well as a beat-assisted swing through Dolly Parton’s signature hit “Jolene,” with the appropriate amount of yearning in Cuomo’s voice on the most fleshed-out arrangement in the bunch.

Among the most unexpected covers are a strummy, straightforward run through Michael Jackson’s Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 “Billie Jean,” complete with an MJ-style yelp and keening falsetto and a heartbreaking, rainy day “Without You,” by Harry Nilsson. Cuomo also dips into his dance pop bag with a charming, twee cover of Whitney Houston’s Hot 100 No. 1 “I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me),” offers up an angsty minute of Post Malone and Quavo’s “Congratulations” and swerves into the country lane again with Sam Hunt’s “Body Like a Back Road.”

Some of Cuomo’s Voice Memo-like covers are kind of expected — such as a minute of the Eagles’ “Hotel California” — and the reformed hair metal thrasher’s unplugged rambles through Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” and Guns N’ Roses’ “Sweet Child O’ Mine.” But he also offers up his energetic take on Morgan Evans’ “Country Outta My Girl” and ends with a 2021 snippet of a piano sonata by Schumann.

At press time, Cuomo had not commented on the songs and a spokesperson for Weezer had not returned Billboard‘s request for further comment.

It’s unclear if the songs will ever be officially released in any form, but Cuomo has unleashed his home demos before in the form of 2007’s Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo, a compilation covering demos recorded from 1992-2007, as well as 2008’s Alone II: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo; a third collection, Alone III: The Pinkerton Years, came out in 2010.

Weezer will hit the road with The Gathering tour in the fall, playing the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento with the Shins and Silversun Pickups beginning on Sept. 8.
