Drake’s album Scorpion was the undisputed soundtrack of the month. Specifically, the "In My Feelings" challenge (created by Shiggy) was at its absolute peak on this date.
The weekend of July 29, 2018, was a massive moment for the global box office.
Released just days prior, this film was the talk of the industry. It wasn't just another sequel; it was hailed as one of the greatest action movies ever made. On this specific Sunday, Tom Cruise’s death-defying stunts (including the HALO jump and helicopter chase) were driving record-breaking attendance, proving that high-concept, practical-stunt cinema still held massive sway over audiences.
The "content" of July 29, 2018, was also heavily influenced by the news cycle. The media was fixated on the aftermath of the FIFA World Cup (which had ended two weeks prior) and the burgeoning "influencer" culture. This was the era of the "vlog squad" and the rise of high-production YouTube commentary, where creators were beginning to be treated with the same scrutiny as Hollywood stars. Summary: The 18/07/29 Legacy
