Drake appears to have thrown thrown some rather petty shade Taylor Swift’s way after she beat him to number one on the Billboard Hot 100.

The One Dance hitmaker has smashed it on the charts this week, after the release of Her Loss, his collaborative album with 21 Savage.

The pair very almost secured a clean sweep of the top 10, only beaten by Taylor, with her hit Anti-hero at number one.

Sam Smith and Kim Petras, meanwhile, have taken the number 10 spot with Unholy.

Drake and 21 Savage’s track Rich Flex secured the number two spot, while their songs Major Distribution, On BS, Spin Bout U, and Privileged Rappers also securing

Understandably, Drake was in the mood to celebrate, sharing a screenshot of the impressive chart positions on his Instagram Stories – but it’s hard not to notice that he’s blocked Taylor’s number one spot out with a string of emoji.

He wrote in the caption: ‘@21savage congrats my brother’.

21 Savage also reposted Drake’s story, without any caption.

Taylor, it has to be said, doesn’t seem too fussed, after she recently broke a Billboard chart record.

Not only was her latest album, Midnights, the most-streamed album on Spotify in a single day, she leapt to the top of the charts around the world – nabbing number one album and number one single in the UK.

She then went one better and secured the entire top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US, achieving something that no other artist has done in history.

Taylor celebrated the news in a very excitable tweet, penning: ’10 out of 10 of the Hot 100??? On my 10th album??? I AM IN SHAMBLES.’

She also recently won big at the MTV EMAs, taking home best video and best long-form video award for her 10-minute version of All Too Well (Taylor’s Version), as well as best artist and best pop at the ceremony held at the PSD Bank Dome.

Singer-songwriter Taylor ensured she thanked her fans for every award, saying at one stage: ‘You’re the reason that anything has every happened to me,’ and telling them they are the reason she’s ’employed’.

Metro.co.uk has contacted reps for Taylor Swift and Drake for comment.
