Yup. Turns out JT at the top couldn't last. Drake hype never dies, I suppose, as much as I would like it to. I'll still vouch for this, but I still don't think this is a worthy number 1. Plus I'm not really happy Views is getting a second wind; it really doesn't deserve one. The Top 10 was quiet though. HIGHLIGHTS TIME!

New and Returning Entries Ranked
1. Wherever I Go
Hoooooo boy this is good. Real good. That deep groove is just infectious. It's explosive and sticky. I need to remember to come back to this later. Also the music video is fun.
2. Blessings
Ah Chance, good to see you. Really should listen to you more often. Nice minimalist gospel swell and Chance being humbled by his peers and influences. I do wish there was more rapping instead of half the song being gospel chants though.
3. No Problem
Something about 2 Chainz rapping over a gospel-inspired beat just makes me smile. Is that weird? Heck, this entire song is kinda weird and funny. Overall, this exceeded my expectations. Bumpin' beat, decent bars. Gotta give credit where credit is due.
4. Weston Road Flows
Yeah, this was my favorite song from Views and it was a little disappointing to see it drop off. But it's back. To be fair, a lot of what works about this song is the beat work, but Drake himself is serviceable too. If Drake's camp is smart, they'll make this a single.
5. Keep The Family Close
I remember this being one of the better songs on Views. Drake feels more focused here for one. And the production has a natural swell and variety. So yeah, I don't have a problem with this returning.
6. The Fighter
Okay this isn't country in the slightest, who are you trying to kid Keith? But, eh, I've heard worse. It's catchy, though lyrically doesn't really offer much. I also feel like this is a misuse of Carrie Underwood. She doesn't do much outside of the chorus.
7. I'm Sorry
Whoa whoa whoa, The Voice is in the semi-finals and contestants are only hitting the charts now? Won't complain, that means less Voice covers. Though this one's alright. Ballady, not particularly special. I never heard Blake Shelton's original, though.
8. Faithful
When I originally listened to Views I had no idea that Pimp C was dead. To be fair, Kendrick sampled a dead rapper too, but for an interview. And C's by far the best part of this song. When he leaves, it takes a dive in quality. Mediocre.
9. Unsteady
I may have liked Renegades but I wasn't looking forward to this charting. It's slow and uninteresting, and I hate the clicking and thudding percussion. Lyrically, though, it's acceptable. But honestly, when I hear this on the radio I change the station almost immediately.
10. Redemption
The highest-charting returning Views song, and the most boring of them all. Slow bass and drums does not an interesting R&B/rap song make. But I remember there being worse songs on the album. Bleh.
11. THat Part
Aww, I saw the name ScHoolboy Q and got excited. But this is just bad. The beat's just slow and ugly, Q and Kanye are just brag rapping without much imagination or creativity. And it's five minutes long. C'mon, Q, you're better than this. Kanye you're also better than this.
12. Me Too
Go die in a hole you narcissistic waste of pop airplay.
