The artist recently released two tracks - "One Man Can Change The World" (featuring Kanye West and John Legend) and "Win Some, Lose Some" - that immediately jumped to the No. 1 and No. 2 spots, respectively, on the iTunes Hip-Hop/Rap chart. Big Sean also recently held an unprecedented four of the Top 10 songs on the iTunes Hip-Hop/Rap chart.
