<p><a href="/profile/Drake" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Drake</a> and <a href="/profile/21savage" class="text-word" target="_blank" >21 Savage</a>&#8217;s collaborative album, <em><a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/446874-drake-21-savage-unleash-joint-album-her-loss" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Her Loss</a></em>, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts. Moreover, this is the 6 God&#8217;s 12th No. 1 album and 21&#8217;s third. <em>Her Loss</em> is the year&#8217;s highest hip-hop/R&amp;B debut in a week, and the fourth-largest US streaming week of all time.</p>

<p>The recently crowned No. 1 album pushed 404,000 equivalent album units according to Billboard with 513.56 million official streams. Interestingly, <em>Her Loss </em>trails behind <a href="/profile/taylor-swift" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Taylor Swift</a>&#8217;s Midnights and Drake&#8217;s <em>Certified Lover Boy</em> and <em>Scorpion </em>for the largest US streaming week. The Beatles and Jay-Z are the only artists to surpass Drake&#8217;s No. 1s, with 19 and 14 albums respectively.</p>



<p>Additionally, Drake and 21 dethroned <em>Midnights </em>as the No. 1 album in the U.S. That album debuted with <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/445408-taylor-swifts-midnights-debuts-at-no-1-breaking-several-records-in-the-process" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">record-breaking numbers </a>and is still getting spun like crazy. With <em>Her Loss</em>, 21 Savage and Drake are competing head-to-head with some of pop&#8217;s music most successful stars. The &#8220;Bank Account&#8221; rapper is also being mentioned alongside Adele or John Lennon when talking numbers. Wild.</p>

<p>Despite these reports, <em>Her Loss</em> has made headlines for much more than its numbers. Firstly, it&#8217;s one of Drake&#8217;s most <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/448838-drake-21-savage-her-loss-album-review" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">well-received projects</a> in a long time, with great beats and bars for fans. However, many of those bars have caught Drizzy in particular a lot of hot water. He <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/446899-megan-thee-stallion-responds-after-drakes-supposed-diss-over-tory-lanez-shooting-on-her-loss" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">dissed</a> Megan The Stallion and also <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/446921-kanye-west-responds-to-drakes-diss-on-circo-loco">went back on his reconciliation with</a> <a href="/profile/KanyeWest" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Kanye West</a> on &#8220;Circo Loco.&#8221; Also, he <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/447026-serena-williams-husband-alexis-ohanian-reacts-to-drakes-groupie-her-loss-bar" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">threw some shots at Serena Williams&#8217; husband</a> and <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/446977-d-r-a-m-claps-back-after-drake-disses-him-on-her-loss" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reignited a feud with</a> <a href="/profile/dram" class="text-word" target="_blank" >D.R.A.M.</a></p>



<p>Furthermore, a lot of the duo&#8217;s promotional tactics went south fast because, well, all the promo was fake. <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/447528-drake-21-savage-perform-her-loss-track-in-fake-snl-appearance-watch" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">An <em>SNL </em>performance</a>, <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/446622-drake-talks-porn-preferences-marriage-in-fake-howard-stern-interview" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Howard Stern interview</a>, <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/448086-drake-21-savage-perform-privileged-rappers-on-fake-a-colors-show-segment" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">COLORS show</a>, and <em>Vogue </em>cover, all for show. In fact, that <em>Vogue </em>cover actually got them a lawsuit from the magazine&#8217;s owners Conde Nast. They have been <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/448871-drake-21-savage-ordered-to-stop-using-vogue-for-her-loss-promotion" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ordered to stop using the fake cover</a> as promotional material.</p>
