The third song from Drake’s new album ‘Honestly, Nevermind’ to debut at No: 10 is ‘Falling Back’, another 90s tempo house track which has got its chart position due to streaming and downloading. Meanwhile while Drake songs flooded the singles chart on the albums chart ‘Honestly, Nevermind’ had to settle for the entry at No: 2 as Harry Styles ‘Harry’s House’ recaptured the No: 1 spot.
