He also failed to cover the names of Sam Smith and Kim Petras in the process, who hold the No. 10 position with their song “Unholy.”

“Drake playing with the only person who has NEVER lost a fight sends me off like Taylor isn’t the one she’ll get you silently,” another user joked.
“Taylor Swift and Drake have released the same number of studio albums in this decade, but only one is accused of ‘mass releasing'” a third pointed outwhile someone else replied, “Taylor was so right… A man does something, it’s strategic. A woman does the same, it’s calculated.
Swift has made history in the past two weeks since releasing “Midnights” on October 21.
Just a week after the album’s release, Swift became the first-ever artist to simultaneously occupy the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in its 64-year history.
“10 out of 10 on the Hot 100??? On my 10th album??? I’m in shambles,” Swift reacted up to date at the time.
