Drake's New Single Debuts At No. 1 — But Not On The Most Important Chart
Drake is used to hitting No. 1 whenever he releases new music. The Canadian superstar typically scores a huge launch with either an exciting single or a full-length project, and his latest tune "What Did I Miss?" is no exception to this trend.
The track brings the rapper back to the highest reaches on many Billboard rankings as it arrives. While it doesn't debut atop every list, including the Hot 100 — the most important of them all — it does manage to begin its run at No. 1 on multiple rosters, earning Drake even more leaders in the U.S.
"What Did I Miss?" Launches at No. 1
"What Did I Miss?" debuts at No. 1 on eight different Billboard charts. The tune performs well enough to lead tallies focused on streaming activity, pure purchases, and overall consumption, but only when looking specifically at genre-focused rosters.
Drake commands both the Streaming Songs and Digital Song Sales charts with 'What Did I Miss?' The same cut also manages to lead all of the following half-dozen genre-specific lists: Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs, R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales, Hot Rap Songs, Rap Streaming Songs, and the Rap Digital Song Sales rankings.
Drake Extends His No. 1 Collection
Drake is already familiar with the top spot on every tally he reaches with "What Did I Miss?" This week, the Grammy winner racks up his fifteenth leader on the Digital Song Sales chart, which is an impressive figure, but still the lowest number among all the rankings where he leads this frame. The same single becomes his thirty-first No. 1 on both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts simultaneously.
"What Did I Miss?" Narrowly Misses the Hot 100's Top Spot
Drake almost conquers the Hot 100 again this week, but "What Did I Miss?," appropriately, just misses the summit. The single kicks off its time in the runner-up spot, coming in behind "Ordinary" by Alex Warren, which is turning out to be one of the biggest songs of the year in the U.S.
The track gives Drake his eighty-first top 10 smash on the Hot 100, and he extends his lead for the most placements inside that region among all artists. The same cut also becomes a top 40 hit on the Billboard Global 200, Rap Airplay, and Rhythmic Airplay tallies, debuting at Nos. 9, 21, and 36, respectively.

Luis Diaz heads for Anfield exit: What it means for his legacy and Liverpool's transfer plans
When Luis Diaz's then girlfriend Gera Ponce posted a tribute to Liverpool supporters on social media at the end of last season, it felt like a goodbye. The words were accompanied by photographs and videos of them celebrating in front of the Kop with their young daughters Roma and Charlotte following the Premier League trophy lift in May. Diaz had the Colombian flag wrapped around his waist as his song boomed around Anfield. Advertisement 'From the first day we arrived, we felt first hand what it means to be a part of this club,' she wrote. 'What you have made my boyfriend and our entire family feel is something we carry in our souls. Thank-you for so much love, for so much dedication and for making us feel at home. This is a real bond, deep and strong, that reaffirms that we'll never walk alone.' Two months on, that farewell has been confirmed with Diaz set to complete a €75 million (£65.6m; $88.1m) move to Bayern Munich. It brings the curtain down on a three-and-a-half-year Anfield career which yielded 41 goals in 148 appearances. His impact was instant following his arrival from Porto in January 2022. With his ability to bamboozle defenders, he created a goal for Takumi Minamino just 10 minutes into his debut against Cardiff City. Jurgen Klopp said he had never met a player who smiled so much in training. With Sadio Mane moved into the centre to accommodate Diaz on the left, he quickly became a fans' favourite. They loved his direct approach with the ball at his feet and his tenacity out of possession. Diaz, who was affectionately known as Lucho by team-mates and staff, started all three finals in 2021-22 as Liverpool won a domestic cup double but suffered an agonising defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League showpiece in Paris and finished a point behind Manchester City in the Premier League. He was hampered by a knee injury the following season but in 2023-24 he was massively influential as Klopp's side lifted the League Cup again before their title challenge faded. There was the relief of his father Luis Manuel Diaz being released after being held hostage for 12 days by the National Liberation Army in Colombia. On the field, one complaint was that for all the dazzling approach play, there was a lack of end product at times. Arne Slot set about improving that last summer by getting Diaz on the ball in more central areas. Advertisement There was a first hat-trick of his professional career against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League last November when he was employed in a false nine role. It was a tactic Slot persisted with when they lined up without Darwin Nunez or Diogo Jota. Diaz scored twice in the 6-3 demolition of Tottenham having done likewise against Manchester United at Old Trafford earlier in the season. He also cancelled out Tottenham's early opener at Anfield on the day the title was won in April. His overall return of 17 goals in all competitions was the best of his Liverpool career and only Mohamed Salah scored more than his 13 league goals for the club in 2024-25. On the face of it, agreeing to sanction the exit of such a popular figure who is at his peak is questionable, but when you dig deeper, it makes more sense. For a start, Diaz was determined to leave having twice turned down attempts by Liverpool to get him to sign a new contract. There was just too big a gap between what he wanted and what the club was willing to offer. He had initially signalled his desire to pursue a new challenge 12 months ago when he had Barcelona pursuing him, but Liverpool made it clear then that he wasn't for sale. That stance remained in place at the start of this summer, but with Diaz still unwilling to sign an extension and Bayern prepared to increase their initial offer of €67.5m, the ground started to shift. Liverpool reluctantly did business, knowing that if they kept hold of him for another season then next summer his value would have been considerably lower with him down to the final 12 months of his contract. Ultimately, sporting director Richard Hughes ensured they pocketed €75m for a 28-year-old who cost them €49m from Porto and gave them great service for three and a half years. The parting of the ways has been respectful with Diaz not missing a training session during the tour of Asia before being granted permission to fly to Munich to complete the formalities. In terms of filling the void, Liverpool believe they have sufficient left-sided cover already in place. Cody Gakpo, who scored 18 goals last season, is expected to kick on and play an even bigger part. New signing Hugo Ekitike can operate off that flank as well as through the middle, while the emergence of teenager Rio Nguhoma is another factor. It would be wrong to expect too much from Nguhoma given he doesn't even turn 17 for another month, but he's a massive talent. He has lit up pre-season so far and you don't want to block his pathway. Advertisement Diaz is highly unlikely to be the last senior Liverpool attacker to leave in this window. There's ongoing interest from the Saudi Pro League in Darwin Nunez, while Federico Chiesa continues to be linked with a return to Italy. On the right side, Liverpool have Jeremie Frimpong who can deputise for Salah. Harvey Elliott and Ben Doak are also options, although they could both depart in the coming weeks if suitable offers are forthcoming. The real intrigue surrounds what happens centrally. Nunez being replaced by Alexander Isak is the dream scenario. However, for that to happen Newcastle United will have to soften their stance over the Swedish striker not being for sale. Liverpool would also need to command a decent fee for Nunez to help finance it. Slot wants to have tactical flexibility and Florian Wirtz could operate at times in the false nine role that Diaz filled on occasions last season. In terms of his legacy, Diaz never consistently hit the heights of Salah, Sadio Mane or Roberto Firmino. When it comes to legendary status, he belongs on the next rung down. It feels like a strange time to want to leave Liverpool but at this stage of his career he wanted the security of a big pay rise across a long-term contract stretching into his early 30s. His salary on Merseyside was always significantly higher than the £60,000 per week sometimes reported. Diaz and Gera Ponce got married in their homeland last month and they will now start a new chapter together in Munich. He will be missed in the Liverpool dressing room, especially among the close-knit South American contingent. He leaves behind some special memories and is guaranteed the warmest of receptions at Anfield if he returns with Bayern.
