Drake’s music has been inescapable since the early 2010s with the release of his breakthrough album, Take Care. He popularised mixing R&B and hip-hop in mainstream music and has had countless number one singles over the years.
While Drake’s recent beef with fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar may be the reason his name is on everyone’s lips, we are also hoping that he might go on tour soon. Stay tuned by registering your interest with Seat Unique, and you’ll be notified as soon as an announcement is made.

No. 10: ‘Controlla’
‘Controlla’ is one of Drake's best dancehall songs, making an appearance on his 2016 album, Views. It has a classic island sound in its percussion and sensual rhythm, as dancehall is a genre that originates in Jamaica. Critics compared it to Rihanna’s ‘Work’ at the time, which Drake also features on.
No. 9: ‘In My Feelings’
‘In My Feelings’ was a viral phenomenon when it was released in 2018, sparking a dance challenge where you walk beside a moving car and dance in the road. The memorable lyrics and bouncy beat make it perfect for dancing, and it's really a standout song on the album, Scorpions.
No. 8: ‘Take Care’ ft. Rihanna
‘Take Care’ is more of a romantic song, featuring pop megastar Rihanna who has collaborated with Drake many times. Their voices seem to compliment each other very well, with Rihanna singing the chorus in an earnest and emotional way to draw out the themes of a couple taking care of each other after being hurt before.
No. 7: ‘Started From The Bottom’
‘Started From The Bottom’ is a true hype song, you can imagine being at a party or in the crowd at a concert with everyone shouting the lyrics. The song details Drake’s life and journey to where he is now, saying that it hasn’t been easy but now he’s on top.
No. 6: ‘Nice For What’
‘Nice For What’ is another upbeat bounce song with a Lauryn Hill sample, giving it a true 2000s R&B feel. The song topped the Billboard charts for several weeks, owing to its empowering lyrics that encourage women to embrace independence and confidence. It’s another track that shows Drake’s ability to create music for chart success and niche audiences.
No. 5: ‘Hotline Bling’
This song is another that went totally viral, perhaps owing to its catchy lyrics and infectious hook. The music video also sparked memes and parodies, adding to the longevity of the track. It was the lead single on the Views album in 2016 and really defined a year of music with its R&B and trap influences.
No. 4: ‘God’s Plan’
‘God’s Plan,’ while called a typical Drake song by some critics, was incredibly popular with fans and broke streaming records on both Spotify and Apple Music upon release. Drake raps about how his success is part of a divine plan from God, and both the song and music video have a message of positivity and gratefulness.
No. 3: ‘One Dance’ ft. Wizkid & Kyla
‘One Dance’ is Drake’s most=streamed song on Spotify, with a staggering 3.5 billion streams. Featuring Afrobeats artist Wizkid and British singer Kyla, the dancehall song is another from Views, proving that 2016 was a great year for dancehall music. It’s a true summer jam, with a Caribbean beat that proves club-worthy even years later.
No. 2: ‘Passionfruit’
This song has a real tropical vibe, just like the song title suggests, with Drake’s signature R&B flow that adds to the dreamlike, summery feeling. Plenty of other notable artists like Paramore, Mabel, and John Mayer have covered the song too. The lyrics detail the struggles of maintaining a long-distance relationship, trying to stay trusting and faithful.
No. 1: ‘Hold On, We’re Going Home’ ft. Majid Jordan
From Drake’s iconic third album Nothing Was the Same, this track is another of Drake’s more emotional, R&B-heavy tracks, with sensual lyrics and a beat that you can’t help but dance to. Pitchfork named the song the best of 2013, and it remains an absolute staple of Drake’s discography and proof of his versatility as an artist.
