"GOAT of the charts right now": Internet reacts as Drake tops US iTunes with ‘NOKIA’ and ‘Some Sexy Songs 4 U’

Drake released a collaborative album project with frequent collaborator PartyNextDoor on February 14, 2025, and it’s reportedly doing numbers on iTunes. @Pop Base on X reported on February 17, 2025, that the cross-genre album, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, has cinched the number one album spot on US iTunes.

The news channel also added that one of the tracks on $$$4U, NOKIA, holds the number one position on the US iTunes song chart.

Netizens praised Drake for the achievement. @_CryptoJT_ tweeted:

“Always knew Drake had it in him, he’s like the goat of the charts right now, crazy talent.”

Similar tweets described Drake as the GOAT and “King of the game.”

“Drake is a GOAT,” @darren5534 praised.

“Against the whole industry that’s why he is the goat,” @spinboutU_ stated.

“King of the game, unstoppable and reigning," @Anupvibes tweeted.

Other Netizens noted that the $$$4U album wasn’t making as much waves on Spotify and made allusions to the legal action that the Canadian rapper instituted against the streaming company in November 2024, which he later withdrew in January 2025.

“But no Spotify streams. He might win that lawsuit,” @_AndreStafford_ expressed.

“But not even top 50 on Spotify. Make it make sense,” @RedickGotNext added.

“Getting suppressed by Spotify and umg. Look how good he’s doing on Apple Music," @AAstacks21 replied.

Other fans continued to sing the rapper's praise.

“Out here dominating the charts like it’s his personal playground. Not just one, but BOTH spots? Okay, go off, king! @shutananya tweeted.

“Out here breaking records like it’s nothing. Dude’s got the #1 song and album? That’s how you dominate the game,” @shutananya added.

More details on Drake’s $ome $exy $ongs 4 U album

The cross-genre album explores R&B, hip-hop, and trap and features tracks like CN Tower, Moth Balls, Something About You, and NOKIA, amongst others. $$$4U was released on Valentine's Day 2025 and earned more than 56.6 million streams on its first day and broke Apple Music’s first-day streaming record for the most streamed R&B/Soul album on the streaming platform.

In the NOKIA song, the Canadian rapper combines vintage sounds with a fast tempo that creates a high energy, suitable for a club banger. The song touches on modern-day relationships and how they are affected by a fast-paced lifestyle using lyrics like;

"Ayy, how many h**s are in this club? / Is it just me and you, my love?/ I don't mean to call you no h*/ I just heard about the things that you do, my love you're just like me, if it's true, my love, ayy/ You could see right through my love,"
