The Backstreet Boys invited a new member to the group, Drake!
At their Toronto show on Saturday, Drake joined the group for a duet of âI Want It That Way,â after introducing him as the "sixth member" of their group. Drake then gave a speech about what the song means to him.
âAt 13 years old, I had a bar mitzvah ⊠and at my bar mitzvah, for the first time in my life, this girl I was in love with came up to me while one of the greatest songs in the world was playing, and she asked me if I would dance with her,â he said. âIt was the first time I ever felt acknowledged, and it was the first time I ever felt like I had a shot at being cool.â
When, they sung the duet, Drake included parts of his song âHold On, Weâre Going Homeâ in the rendition.
Drake and 21 Savageâs âJimmy Cooksâ has gone straight to No. 1!
âJimmy Cooksâ racked up 42.2 million streams, and 6,000 downloads sold in its first week, marking Drakeâs 11th No. 1 single on the chart and second after âWait for Uâ with Future and Tems this year. The song is 21 Savageâs second No. 1 single following âRockstarâ with Post Malone in 2017.
â11 11 that stat line is gods work,â Drake wrote, âBlessings.â
Drake is now tied with Whitney Houston for the seventh-most No. 1 singles of all time with 11, as just The Beatles, Mariah Carey, Rihanna, Michael Jackson, Madonna and The Supremes are ahead of him.
