In a perplexing move last week, Kanye West someone dropped a song on Apple Music via the official Yeezy homepage, and said song didn't seem like a planned single. For one, "idk" was labeled a demo. Then there's the fact that Ye's voice doesn't seem to appear on the track at all. Within a few hours, it was taken down, but not before interest was piqued and allowed for the track to reach #1 on our chart this week.
Clocking in with the most appearances within the Top Ten this week is Takeoff, with two tracks from his debut solo album making the cut. New tracks barely missing out on spots this week include Moneybagg Yo, Kevin Gates, and Rvssian's "Fall Down" (#11), Blocboy JB and Lil Uzi Vert's "Don't Say That" (#12), Action Bronson and A$AP Rocky's "Swerve On 'Em" (#13), and Vince Staples and Jay Rock's "Don't Get Chipped" (#15).

Following Quavo's lead, who released his solo debut, Quavo Huncho, two weeks ago, Takeoff dropped his own full-length on his own last week. The Lat Rocket lands two tracks in our Top Ten this week, the first of which is "Casper." It debuts at #9.
8. Metro Boomin Feat. 21 Savage, Travis Scott & Kodak Black - No More

5. Boosie Badazz - Thug Life
Boosie Badazz has been hyping up a project entitled My Badazz 3.5, and while he simultaneously dropped a new track last week, we don't know if it's a single from the album or not. Nevertheless, "Thug Life" debuts at #5.
4. Tyga Feat. Nicki Minaj - Dip
Following a successful summer, Tyga packaged together two new singles last month for a one-two punch of potential new hits. One of them was "Dip," which upped its chances of radio play last week by tacking on a Nicki Minaj verse. This remix debuts at #4.
3. Swizz Beatz Feat. Kendrick Lamar, Jadakiss & Styles P - Something Dirty/Pic Got Us

1. Kanye West - idk (Demo)
As discussed in the intro, we don't know too much (if anything) about this new Kanye demo. He is, however still ostensibly releasing Yandhi sometime this year, so keep your eyes peeled for "idk" on that tracklist. In the meantime, it debuts at #1.
