Drake And Lil Wayne's Early Collaboration Returns At A New High Point
Lil Wayne helped Drake begin his music career nearly two decades ago, and the two have been great friends and frequent collaborators ever since. The pair rank among the most successful in hip-hop history, and they regularly appear on the Billboard charts next to one another.
This frame, Drake and Wayne jointly return to one list with a decade-plus-old tune — one which manages to somehow become an even bigger win than ever before.
'She Will' Returns at a New Peak
'She Will,' fronted by Wayne and featuring Drake, reappears on the Rap Streaming Songs chart this week. The collaboration comes back at No. 14 – 25 weeks into its time on the tally — and climbs to a new peak position on Billboard's ranking of the most-streamed rap tracks throughout the U.S.
Tha Carter IV
'She Will' was pushed as a single from Wayne's album Tha Carter IV in August 2011. The tune arrived shortly before the full-length, the fourth in his famed Tha Carter series. Recently, 'She Will' has gone viral on TikTok, which has helped it reappear on the Rap Streaming Songs chart.
'She Will' Reached No. 3 on the Hot 100
During its initial run on Billboard's tallies, 'She Will' became a huge hit for both Wayne and Drake. The tune peaked at No. 3 on the Hot 100, rose to No. 1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs list, and missed out on becoming a champion on the Hot Rap Songs roster by just one spot.
Drake Dominates the Rap Streaming Songs Chart
The Rap Streaming Songs chart only features 15 spaces, and this week Drake claims one-third of all available real estate. In addition to 'She Will' reappearing in second-to-last place, the Canadian hip-hop powerhouse earns another comeback, as 'Wait For U' – fronted by Future and also featuring Tems – breaks back in at No. 12. At the same time, his own cuts 'Which One' with Central Cee, 'Nokia' and 'What Did I Miss?' appear at Nos. 4, 5 and 7, respectively.
