PARTYNEXTDOOR and Drake made Apple Music history with their first collaborative album, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U.
As confirmed to Complex, the album broke the platform's record for the most popular R&B/Soul album in global first-day streams. The album's opening track, "CN Tower," is also currently in the No. 1 spot on Apple Music's Top 100: USA chart.
Succeeding the Canadian artists on Apple Music's Top Albums chart are Kendrick Lamar's GNX, Sabrina Carpenter's Short n' Sweet (Deluxe), Bad Bunny's Debí Tirar Más Fotos, and The Weeknd's Hurry Up Tomorrow.
With features from Yebba and Chino Pacas, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U marks Drizzy and PND's first full joint album after years of occasional collaborations like "Recognize," "Preach," "With You" and "Over Here."
The historic Apple Music feat comes shortly after Kendrick's GNX saw an uptick in streaming, along with his massive Drake diss track, "Not Like Us." As Billboard explains, the single, which won five Grammys earlier this month, saw a 222% jump in daily streams following Kendrick's Super Bowl LIX halftime show.
Many $ome $exy $ongs listeners have become instant fans of tracks "Nokia" and "Gimme a Hug," the latter of which sees Drizzy seemingly referencing his feud with Kendrick.
On the track "Brian Steel," Drake also appears to reference his "beef" with the pgLang founder:
Broski just hit me, said, 'Put all the beef on the side,' I can't
I'm heated now
N***as wanna meet up, talk about shit, I'm vegan now
Evil eyes were staring at me and I see it now
