"Crew Love" is a song by Canadian rapper Drake featuring Canadian singer the Weeknd from Drake's second studio album, Take Care (2011). It was originally set to be on the Weeknd's debut mixtape. [1] "Crew Love" was released as the album's seventh single in the United Kingdom on July 30, 2012.
Jon Dolan of Rolling Stone described the track as "avant-R&B lushness" and "a tender ode to metaphorical family in the face of a world where everybody wants a little Drake". [2]
"Crew Love" debuted at number 200 on the UK Singles Chart for the chart week of July 14, 2012. [3] It entered the top 100 of the chart two weeks later at number 64, later peaking at number 37. [4] The track also became a top ten hit on the UK R&B Chart, where it peaked at number seven. [5]
Despite the absence of a proper single release in the United States, "Crew Love" managed to chart on several Billboard singles charts owing to strong rhythmic and urban contemporary radio airplay. [6] It peaked at number nine on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart in June 2012, becoming Drake's twenty-fourth top ten single on the chart. [7] The song also peaked at number 14 on the Hot Rap Songs chart and at number 80 on both the main Hot 100 singles chart and the Canadian Hot 100. [7] [8] [9]
