Drake claims one of the most triumphant weeks in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, led by his “Janice STFU” debuting at No. 1.
The song marks Drake’s 14th career Hot 100 leader — breaking him out of a tie with Michael Jackson for the most among solo males over the chart’s 67-year archives.

At Madison Square Garden Monday night, Bruce Springsteen ceded a show-defining lyric to guest vocalist Tom Morello during their cover of “Clampdown.” “Let fury have the hour,” Morello shouted, as the E Street Band channeled the Clash way more credibly than anyone could’ve imagined when London Calling and The River were both on the charts. “Anger can be power.”
As he does at every show on his Land of Hope and Dreams Tour, Springsteen joined in with a harmony on the next line: “Do you know that you can use it?”
