NBA Youngboy came within 48 million streams of dethroning Drake as he notched a 35th non-consecutive week at Number One

Drake managed to fend off yet another challenge to his Artists 500 throne, notching a record-extending 35th week atop the chart.

Drake pulled in 274.5 million song streams for the week of September 24th through September 30th, the 14th highest weekly stream count the chart has ever seen. His closest challenger this week — and really the only artists whose come near him in the wake of Certified Lover Boy — was YoungBoy Never Broke Again, who rose to Number Two on the Artists 500 with 226 million song streams following the release of his new album, Sincerely, Kentrell. For NBA Youngboy, the last time he charged this high on the Artists 500 was November 2020.
