Drake's bound for a stellar debut with his "FOMO" songs.

Drake remains the king of the charts, even if people don’t want to admit that they’ve been bumping ICEMAN on the regular. The rapper’s been on a hot streak since the release of ICEMAN and its companion projects, Maid Of Honour and Habibti. Then, a few weeks ago, he debuted his “not-so-short-film” FOMO. He delivered new music videos for a few songs that didn’t have visual treatments during the ICEMAN stream earlier this year. 

More than that, Drake also came through with a handful of new songs that ultimately became the deluxe version of Habibti. The rapper added four new records to the project, each of which has received some major praise across the board. That will reportedly be reflected on the Billboard Hot 100 next week, as each of the songs is expected to debut in the Top 30. 

However, it doesn’t stop there, either. According to Talk Of The Charts, the project is expected to push its way up the Billboard 200 as well. Habibti (FOMO) will reportedly re-peak at #2 on the chart with 65K units sold. 

Drake's FOMO Gears Up For A Massive Debut On The Charts

The four songs tacked onto the project include “Quebec,” “Classic Pt. 2,” and the two Don Toliver-assisted songs, “Cold Shoulder” alongside Yebba and “Solar Eclipse,” a remix of Ella Langley’s hit record, “Choosin’ Texas.” 

Evidently, this only helps the momentum that’s building toward what will likely be an incredibly busy 2027. On top of revealing that he will be going on tour next year, there have been rumors indicating that he’s a finalist for Coachella headliners next year alongside SZA. If that’s true, we can only imagine that “Whisper My Name” will hit especially hard when he performs it live.
