When I tell you, Morgan Wallin walked so Zach Brian could fly, that is exactly what he did, what his latest album titled Zach Bryan is literally titled after his name. And the recognition he's getting from this album is not insane, but the way he's charting is. Now, I made a mistake on thinking Drake. was avoiding um burner boy which to my knowledge

has no tracks on the on the top 50 billboard on the billboard top 50 if i was to go to burner boy this wasn't even about him but i forgot about i forgot he actually dropped the album so he has uh last last i think is the most popular track from his album that's like a almost 400 000 views And I think his album came out two weeks ago, so I don't think we can really judge it off that. Basically, you know, it was bad enough that Drake had to avoid Taylor Swift. But now he has to avoid the one, the only, Zach Bryan, as this man not only has the number one hardest single in the world. number three

number seven number eight number ten number 11 number 12 number 14 this man has a bunch of slots taken up in the top songs of the world so do I think Drake pushed back his album to avoid this type of

resurgence of country music yes I think he was avoiding Zach Brian I obviously think he was avoiding Taylor Swift when she put out her album Can't forget Utopia when Utopia came out I mean Utopia is so like what for something 400 some thousand first week obviously Zach Bryan didn't do that but it did go number one for the week of august 25th to 31st with 185 000 uh united state units first week so selling

185,000 first week not saying drake couldn't outsell that by any stretch of imagination but it would have definitely took some type of steam off of his album roll out as people have been and also checking for the Zach Bryan album. With that being said, I do believe Drake will be putting out his album September 8th, and that is my projection. I feel like Drake will be putting out his album September 8th because he can't keep running from competition.

At some point, he's going to have to tell us an album date and he's not to stick to it. He already said, I'm putting out an album in two, weeks. Guess what? It didn't happen. And surprisingly, one of the biggest artists in country dropped this album. You think Drake was just like, oh, that's just a coincidence. We're still trying to mix and master. Nah, he probably saw somebody of Zach Bryan statue coming. He was like, you know what? I kind of want my own weekend to release. So let's just push it back a little bit farther. But Taylor Swift's still going. Travis Scott's still going. Zach Bryant seems like he's going to still be going.

and dojicat she's coming with an album sometime soon Drake cannot keep running at some point he just got to understand that he's not going to be able to get his own rollout as far as a five to six week run of being number one like it's probably going to come and hopefully it doesn't go but it's going to be how it's going to fight it's going to have to fight for some of these slots on the top songs of the United States because like I said Taylor's not going nowhere

Travis Scott's not going nowhere Doja Cat's definitely not going nowhere She's beefing with her whole fan base and still going Top 2 on the top songs So I'm like, okay, you got it Like she's not going nowhere You gotta mess with Zach Bryan Even Gunna

Gunna has a track The FU Mean track That track's still number four on top Like I don't even understand That's one of the biggest tracks in hip hop For 2023 That's just That's just out of here

um what else morgan wallen of course still in the top 10 well last night uh like i said Morgan wallen walked so Zach brian could fly because this man is going completely insane with his sales and the track specifically that i'm covering i remember everything um is the biggest track off of his album i believe if i was to go to his page I think that was the biggest track I see I even look at what major label he was under I ain't really care that much I remember yeah that was the biggest track off of his album

and this man is under Warner Records oh he's under Warner Music of course but before that says Belting Bronco Records I don't know what that means is that like some independent label he made but anyways I basically said that because Country has not been letting up and yes I'm putting Taylor Swift in the

country back country has been whooping hip hop this entire year from morgan walling to taylor swiff i know a lot of people don't like to call her country but from where she came from i was like yeah she's definitely a country artist to me um Zach brian who else it's basically i mean they've been running the charts for so long that they might as well run back to back to back like they've been this reason why everybody's like oh hip-hop's falling off because we can't get number ones because these country artists are running the charts. So, I do believe that drink is running

from competition. I'm just going to put it out. I feel like he knows if he puts out an album, especially don't let him wait another week and Rod Wave drop. Somehow, some way, this man's going to have to drop against somebody who may or may not be able to compete for that number one

first week sales against him. Obviously, I'm not saying Rod Wave can, but it could get spooky, man. It could get spooky. You never know. and that's irreversible damage i think that's why he's pushing his album back so much like if he goes number two i don't know if he's ever done that before as far as putting out of album and jack bryan did 155 000 first week obviously well 1805 000 first week obviously um her loss did around 300 some first week so i'm not saying that it would be around that same mark

but a solo I'm still saying it's going to be a complete R&B album from Drake I think it's going to be a very soft album from Drake just straight singing but we'll

we'll find out this ain't no Drake segment I'm just bringing his name up because I think he saw Zach Bryan and he was like hey I ain't putting out my album y'all just got to deal with it

because I ain't I ain't trying to compete with none of these country artists because obviously they got the game on lock at this point so I don't know man I think Drake would put out his album

this week at the end of this week September 8th so next week basically September 8th I'm calling it Drake's putting out his album if he doesn't

he's got to compete with the likes of Rod Wave and Doja Cat I don't know if he I don't know if he wants to deal with that so anyways click my link to your in my bio

let me know on one of my social medias what do you think about Zach Brian being number one two three he ain't all those but basically taking up

multiple taking up double digit double digit slots and the billboard top 50 and have you heard the Zach Bryan album self-titled Zach Bryan if you have what is your favorite track off of the album and also a bunch of questions do you think Drake is ducking the competition and in fear of not being able to secure that number one album for first week sales
