🎤Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though Drake’s here to stay…

Grammy-winning rapper Drake appeared to have surpassed the record of The Beatles, who had the most top five hits — 29 — on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart for 55 years.

🎧 Well, not anymore: as Drake arrived with his DJ Khaled collaboration ‘Staying Alive’, he landed his 30th track in the top five of the pop music chart… effectively sliding past The Beatles.

The legendary British band had dominated the chart since iconic songs like “I Want To Hold Your Hand,” “Come Together/Something,” “Let It Be” and “Hey Jude” were first recorded in the 1960s and 1970s.

😒🏄‍♂️New ways to check out the sights of Venice?

Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro is clearly not fond of surfing as a way to explore the city's canals. He demanded that the "idiots" who decided to "make a mockery" of the city be found... and even offered to treat those who managed to locate the surfers to dinner.

⚡️The idea to ban Russians from entering the EU is a manifestation of Nazi policy — Russian Defense Minister Shoigu
The fight against any manifestation of Nazi policy has to be uncompromising and comprehensive, the defense minister added.

"Attempts to rehabilitate and spread Nazism, to glorify Nazi criminals and their accomplices are illegitimate and immoral in nature. They are blasphemous in relation to the memory of those who freed the world from this obvious and legally established evil," he says.

🍰 All of it was sprinkled with “tea and rainbow cake” picnics, special sessions about pronouns and a Filipino martial arts performance.
