According to Billboard, Drizzy Drake is the most popular choice for walkup music in Major League Baseball.

Drake‘s solo songs have been picked 17 times this season in baseball before a player takes the plate, but that total adds up to 30 if you count the songs that he has been featured on too.

The most popular solo Drizzy songs that have been picked this season are “Energy” and “6 God“. However, the most popular song of the season is Big Sean‘s “Blessings“, which Drake is also featured on!

On Saturday (September 27th), Christina Milian performed “The Star-Spangled Banner“, which is the national anthem of the United States of America, at the Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Colorado Rockies baseball game.

Tina Turn Up, who was rocking a Dodgers jersey with her name and “17” on the back, received a great reception from everyone in attendance at the Dodger Stadium in L.A.
