Drake Reacts To “What Did I Miss?” Debuting At No. 2 On The Billboard Hot 100

Drake should be on a high right now after a history-making, three-day headlining set at Wireless Festival in London this past weekend. However, the 38-year-old rapper saw where his latest single “What Did I Miss?” debuted on the Billboard Hot 100, and he isn’t satisfied.

The track, initially projected to fall on the lower end of the top 10, landed at No. 2 in this week’s chart. It marked the 6 God’s second No. 2 of 2025, following the slow-rising hit “Nokia.” While that is celebratory for many artists, it continues the Toronto superstar’s streak of almost two years without a No. 1 since “First Person Shooter” with J. Cole reached the mountaintop in October 2023. Bigger than that, it makes his pursuit of breaking his tie with Michael Jackson still a factor.

Drizzy posted this week’s chart on his Instagram story with several straight-faced emojis before calling out the suppression he has allegedly endured since last year’s beef with Kendrick Lamar, which prompted his current defamation and botting lawsuit against Universal Music Group. “Suppressor on the 1 spot,” he wrote with a laughing emoji, referring to Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” maintaining the top spot for six weeks. “I’m taking that soon don’t worry one song or another Rule changes and all.”

This is an unusual experience for the multi-time Grammy winner; he is currently rolling out his forthcoming album ICEMAN, and he is used to having a single be No. 1 going into an album release or hitting No. 1 after an LP comes out. $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, his joint album with PARTYNEXTDOOR from this past February, was his first project since 2017’s More Life that did not have either of those things happen, though he got close with “Nokia.”

Nonetheless, momentum is still on his side. At Wireless Festival, the attendees treated his three sets like they were homecoming performances. He also gifted fans with surprise appearances by Lauryn Hill and The Fugees, Mario, Bryson Tiller, Giveon, Bobby Valentino, Latto, Sexyy Red, 21 Savage, and more.

He teased a new song with Central Cee, stating that he would “get to that on Friday.” The record fell within his Afrobeats, dance vibe, which is fitting for the summer. If this record goes No. 1, not only would he break the tie with MJ, but it would also be Cench’s first Billboard Hot 100 No. 1. Time will tell when the record drops, but check out a preview below.
