Drake rose from third position to number two thanks to the excitement over the Drake, Kendrick Lamar beef. Speaking over beef, Kendrick Lamar entered the top 10 at number four.

Eminem has shot up from eighth to fifth, thanks to his just released new album The Death of Slim Shady and prior singles. The Weeknd, Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande have all dropped places in the top ten, due to previously high positions from new music.
Beyonce and Ed Sheeran have both dropped out of the top ten.
