Love him or hate him, you cannot deny Drake is honestly one of the biggest artists of our time. Following Hotline Bling, Passionfruit, One Dance and many more hits (maybe featured on the recent Sunday Profile) Drake released a double disc set Scorpion and it's our second Album of the Year Nomination for 2018.
Following on from the local talent Vance Joy, Drake is leading the way for hip hop. And man has it been a big year for the genre. Kanye's album frenzy, Migos released the catchy AF Culture II, Post Malone broke records and Jay Z and Beyonce showed off their star power with an album as The Carters.
Scorpion follows the huge hits God's Plan, Nice for What and I'm Upset. I am addicted to the tune Nonstop and this week another single has been revealed In My Feelings and it's already a huge hit on iTunes.
Speaking of huge hits, here are the countries the album made it to number one in:
Australia
Canada (where he also accounts for a shit tonne of tourism, apparently)
Finland
Ireland
New Zealand
USA
UK
Switzerland
Wow, go Drake!
So joining the amazing Vance Joy, we now have a second album in the ring for the Album of 2018. Last year Drake's More Life took out my once off Anything but an Album award of 2017, so will Drake be crowned the Album of the Year for 2018 on Boxing Day? Time will tell and I actually smell a third nomination incoming, so keep your eyes peeled, right here.
Until tomorrow's Fresh Friday Countdown, happy school holidays kids.
