For over a year, Drake’s petitioned for Sade to appear on his debut album, Thank Me Later. By now, you’d think that someone from his camp would’ve reach out to the singer, right? Wrong. In this interview with the National Post, Sade says she hasn’t even been contacted and purposely strays from collaborations.

It is interesting to see how numbers can tell part of a story, whether we are looking at album sales or using a proportion calculator to understand relationships between different figures.
