TORONTO— In a move that surprised absolutely no one familiar with the Canadian music landscape, global superstar Drake has once again shattered all previous records on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 and Album charts. This marks Drake’s most dominant showing ever in his home country, a feat attributed by some to the sheer volume of his output and the nation’s notoriously long winters. Sources close to the artist suggested that the ‘aggressive snowfall’ may have kept Canadians indoors, forcing them to stream more Drake. The artist himself could not be reached for comment, as he was reportedly busy perfecting his next chart-topping single.
OVO Season Extended Indefinitely
The prolific rapper, also known as Certified Lover Boy, now holds the undisputed title for the most No. 1 hits and albums in Canada. His latest release, ‘More Views From The 6ix (Again),’ has spent an unprecedented 52 weeks atop the album chart. Music industry analysts are scrambling to understand the phenomenon. “It’s simple,” stated Dr. Brenda Finkle, Chief of Algorithmic Musicology at the University of Toronto. “Drake has strategically saturated the Canadian market. His music is now as ubiquitous as Tim Hortons coffee. People cannot escape it, nor do they want to.” The National Music Centre recently announced it would be appointing a new board chair, though details remain scarce. Meanwhile, speculation about a new ‘streaming tax’ continues to swirl, with many predicting its proceeds will directly fund additional Drake releases. Billboard Canada’s latest charts confirmed the rapper’s continued reign.
A Nation United by 6 God
Fans expressed a mixture of pride and resignation. “What else are we going to listen to?” asked Canadian resident Chad Poutin. “The weather makes you sad, and Drake’s music is like a warm, albeit repetitive, blanket.” Poutin, who identified himself as the self-appointed ‘Ambassador of Canadian Drake Appreciation,’ believes the artist’s continued success is a testament to his understanding of the Canadian psyche. “He gets us. He understands the quiet desperation and the need for a catchy chorus about exes.” He added that the recent news regarding a forthcoming update on the ‘streaming tax’ was ‘music to his ears.’
At press time, Drake was reportedly considering a Canadian-themed album entirely composed of hockey anthems and apologies for being late to brunch.
