Three artists have debuted on the chart at #4: Tappers JayMoney and Anik Khan and EDM producer Getter. That marks the fourth-highest debut on the chart ever. It was enough for GIGGS to debut on Predictions this week at #5. After Monday night’s show, where GIGGS performed Landlord standout “Whippin’ Excursion,” he saw increased reach and engagement on social media, with a 538.1% week-on-week increase in Twitter mentions, a 123.6% week-on-week increase in Instagram followers, and a 93.5% week-on-week increase in Wikipedia views. But it was this week that he started making headlines in the States after the Toronto rapper - and the most popular artist on Pandora - brought him out onstage at London’s O2 Arena during his second show on his Boy Meets World Tour.

London rapper GIGGS has been making moves in his home country for a few years now, with his latest album, Landlord, hitting #2 on the U.K. GIGGS gets in Drake’s good gracesĪ sudden uptick in Twitter followers, a flurry of Twitter mentions and a spike in Wikipedia page views? That’s the power of Drake, apparently. Read on for more standouts from the Pandora Predictions Chart. But what we do learn is that there’s a new Latin artist in town who’s making serious waves in the world of salsa and that people are definitely not tired of listening to “Bad and Boujee” quite yet. On this week’s Pandora Predictions Chart, we learn that a Drake co-sign can go along way.
