Her Loss, his win.

As has become the norm, a new Drake album’s yields a monster week on Billboard’s R&B/hip-hop charts, extending multiple records already safely in the superstar’s possession and pushing him dangerously closer toward a few that still elude him.

Her Loss, a collaborative album with 21 Savage, was released on Nov. 4 via OVO Sound/Republic. The set debuts at No. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and all-genre Billboard 200 albums chart with 404,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Nov. 10, according to Luminate.

With the entry, 21 Savage obtains his third (and third consecutive) No. 1 on the list, after I Am > I Was led the list for two weeks in 2019 and Savage Mode II, with Metro Boomin, posted one week on top the following year.

Drake maintains his perfect run of 14 No. 1s among his 14 chart appearances, dating to the arrival of his first full-length album, Thank Me Later, in 2010. The achievement ties him with Jay-Z for the most No. 1s on the list among rappers, male artists and solo artists; only The Temptations, with 17 No. 1s, rank above the pair.

In the songs’ realm, “Rich Flex” leads the new recruits, as the title debuts at No. 1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. With the arrival, Drake secures his record-extending 26th champ on the list and creates more space between himself and the joint-second place holders, Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder, who each hold 20 leaders.

As Drake’s count increases, here’s the current leaderboard for most No. 1s on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs since the chart became an all-encompassing genre survey in 1958:

26, Drake
20, Aretha Franklin
20, Stevie Wonder
17, James Brown
16, Janet Jackson
15, The Temptations
13, Marvin Gaye
13, Michael Jackson
13, Usher

21 Savage, meanwhile, picks up his fourth Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs No. 1, after a 14-week stay through his featured turn on Post Malone’s “Rockstar” (2017-18), a one-week reign with “My Life,” with with J. Cole and Morray (2021) and another week in charge with his prior Drake collab, “Jimmy Cooks,” this July.

Below “Rich Flex,” Drake and 21 Savage, either together or individually, fill out the rest of the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs’ top 10 and land six more songs between Nos. 11 and 20. To recap all their Her Loss placements this week:

Position, Artist (all are Drake and 21 Savage, unless noted):
No. 1, “Rich Flex”
No. 2, “Major Distribution”
No. 3, “On BS”
No. 4, “Spin Bout U”
No. 5, “Pussy & Millions,” featuring Travis Scott
No. 6, “Privileged Rappers”
No. 7, “Circo Loco”
No. 8, “BackOutsideBoyz” (Drake)
No. 9, “Hours in Silence”
No. 10, “Broke Boys”
No. 12, “Treacherous Twins”
No. 13, “Middle of the Ocean” (Drake)
No. 14, “Jumbotron Shit Poppin” (Drake)
No. 15, “More M’s”
No. 16, “I Guess It’s F*ck Me” (Drake)
No. 19, “3AM on Glenwood” (21 Savage)

For the second time in his career, Drake runs a full shoutout of the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs’ top 10. He previously managed the 10-for-10 on the chart dated Sept. 18, 2021, when tracks from his Certified Lover Boy album flooded the competition.

In addition to logging his 26th No. 1, the new haul pushes Drake’s already-record top 10 total to 117, and 21 Savage’s count climbs to 23 visits to the region.

Drake and 21 Savage went viral on TikTok thanks to “Rich Flex,” off their recent Billboard 200-topping joint album, Her Loss.

The song also launched at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart, and No. 2 on the Hot 100 songs chart.

Took her panties off and this bi— thicker than the plot
All my exes ain’t nothin’, them h–s busted
If my opps ain’t rappin’, they a– duckin’

Ayy, Slaughter Gang sh–, ayy, murder gang sh–, ayy

Internet clones, got ’em kissin’ through the phone
P—ies cliquin’ up so they don’t feel alone, ayy
Nan’ n—a seein’ me, I’m Young Money CMB
I used to roll with CMG, the house is not a BNB
The bad bi—es waitin’ on a n—a like I’m PND
I’m steady pushin’ P, you n—as pushin’ PTSD
I told her a– to kiss me in the club, f— a TMZ
I used to want a GMC, when Woe was doin’ BNE
We revvin’ up and goin’ on a run like we DMC
I layup with her for a couple days, then its BRB
You rappers love askin’ if I f—ed, when you know we did
When you know we did
She came in heels but she left out on her cozy sh–
Ayy, I’m livin every twenty-four like Kobe did
Shoutout to the 6ix, R.I.P to 8
Swear this sh– is gettin’ ate, I’m on ten for the cake
Get a lot of love from twelve, but I don’t reciprocate
Fifty-one division stay patrollin’ when it’s late
21 my addy, so the knife is on the gate
All the dawgs eatin’ off a Baccarat plate
N—as see Drake and they underestimate
Take it from a vet’, that’s a rookie a– mistake, ayy

Ah, what, what

Ayy, Slaughter Gang sh–, ayy, murder gang sh–
Ayy, Slaughter Gang sh–, ayy, murder gang sh–

You is the man, you hear me?

Since ONEUS‘ 2018 debut on the K-pop scene, the boy band has consistently toured across countries like Japan and the U.S., but 2023 will see them meeting more of their fans in their first proper world tour.

Following the conclusion of their ‘USA Blood Moon’ tour earlier this year, ONEUS revealed the 2023 Reach for Us World Tour with stops announced in Asia, North America, and South America so far. The group will kick the new year off by opening the U.S. leg on January 12, 2023, at New York’s Apollo Theater, before visiting countries like Mexico, Chile, and Brazil in February.

Since wrapping their last U.S. tour in March, ONEUS released two new EPs—Trickster in May and Malus in September—which led to the group’s best album sales yet in Korea. The group’s record label RBW says their return to the States will deliver a mix of ONEUS hits and other pop culture–inspired performances.

“ONEUS is so excited and honored to be coming back to the U.S.,” RBW shares in a statement to Billboard. “The boys have been working hard on giving America the ultimate mix of music, dance, and fashion, including an electrifying Top Gun-inspired dance number and a BLACKPINK cover. The band can’t wait to meet all their American friends and show them they have many musical surprises and even more new moves.”
