    Niggas from Seoul to Timbuktu listen to Drake.

    Interesting opinion

    What year did Views drop? 2016 right? Cause I just looked at this South Korean chart for 2016

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Listof_number-one_international_songs_of_2016(South_Korea)

    And I didn’t see Drake on there anywhere

    And I checked 2015, 2017, and 2018 and didn’t see any Drake there either

    But I did notice Adele was number one from October 31st, 2015 to March 5th, 2016

    Here buddy:

    ''21'' - 29.9 million copies sold (worldwide) & 14M in the US
    ''25'' - 22.2 million copies sold (worldwide) & 11M in the US

    show me a Drake album that sold even half as much as any of the albums above. i'm waiting

    Let's use your MJ a***ogy here...

    MJ is considered the biggest artist of all time mainly due to the incredible sales performance of Thriller (best selling album ever). He is the biggest music act because he had the highest commercial peak world wide

    Adele is the biggest music act of the decade because she released the two best selling albums of the decade. In other words she had the highest peak and nobody came close to that peak, not even Drake. Drake doesn't even have a higher peak than Ed Sheeran who has an album that sold 15M (more than any Drake album) and Shape of You / Thinking Out Loud are bigger than any Drake single

    Thats my point dipshit..WHY ARE YOU USING ALBUM SALES ONLY. Drake blows adele out of the water in single sales and when you combine ALBUM AND SINGLE SALES. DRAKE SURPASSES ADELE OVER THE DECADE. Tffff I dont understand why you niggas pick and choose which part of my statement to reply to lmao.

    Drake has sole over 200 million units in the US ONLY thats without any other global market. Also nah I could say Gods plan was easily bigger than any Ed Sheeran song. Gods plan went platinum in less than a week and Diamond in less than nine months

    Tooooooooooot

    You said that if you dominted US charts you pretty much dominated the world charts, which is not entirely true.

    How tf does the US market control other markets worldwide?? The reason people use the benchmark of the US market is because its the biggest and if you are the biggest musical selling act is the US... you are more than likely the best selling musical act in the world

    I’ve learned over the years that this isn’t actually true.

    Ed sherron t is technically the biggest artist worldwide. But if you take a deeper look it’s adele by a long shot. She isn’t even active and competes with people that release every two years.

    By which metric lmao IFPI measures worldwide sales and Drake was the best selling artist globally Twice and was second TWICE and came in the top 10 in 2019.. his performance is far better than Ed Sheeran's

    Yes but it’s relative to the output. Drake releases 10x more music than than Ed Sheehan and 50x more then Adele.

    Look at who does stadium tours?
    Look at who makes the most money?

    Drake isn’t even bigger than Taylor Swift when you incorporate all the stats.

    Drake hasn’t done a stadium tour as yet. Ppl like Taylor and Beyoncé have done like 5

    Also look at the festival circuit and who gets requested most

    Without lifting a finger. She can literally block drake and Taylor Swift in the same week if she wanted to be grimy.

    Ed sold out Wembley in 3 back to back dates

    Drake wouldn't even sell it out once

    Also if Adele wanted to, she could take over.
    Even without trying she's bigger than Drake

    Adele is absolutely bigger. Not sure about Ed but Drake has never had a smacker like Shape of You.

  • Apr 2, 2020

    Imagine if Taylor Swift releases 100 features a year lol

    Or Adele. That’s a luxury that hip hip has that other genres don’t.

    Ed is def bigger. You know how many feature drake have to do to keep up with Ed sheeran. He also releases 3 albums drake released like 8 projects in tha sane time and barely outsells him world wide n
