Upon its release on November 4, Her Loss topped the entire top 16 of Apple Music’s Top Songs chart and broke the record for the largest combined single-day stream for a collaboration album in Spotify history, with over 97 million streams.
Aside from its commercial impact, Her Loss has garnered an incredible amount of attention thanks to the seemingly vindictive and fleeting lyrics that Drake infused into the collaborative effort.
As well as Megan Thee Stallion’s seemingly subliminal disposition about her Tory Lanez shooting case, the 6 god took aim at Kanye West, DRAM and even Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian.
If Her Loss ends up securing number one on the Billboard 200, Drake will add another major hit to his ever-growing list of accolades by earning his eighth consecutive No. 1 debut and his second this year alone.

Overall, Her Loss could potentially give Drake his 12th overall No. 1 on the Billboard 200. As for 21 Savage, it could be his third time topping the charts, following I Am > I Was and Savage Mode II, his collaboration with Metro Boomin.
