Making this thread to settle the debate with @dreamville and @thegreatdivine in the numbers thread.

By “mega-hit” we mean a song that is inescapable, where it feels like everyone knows the record, and you can’t go anywhere without hearing the song.

My argument is not that Drake doesn’t have any hits this decade, my argument is that Drake have any mega-hits this decade. To be more specific, I don’t think he has any songs this decade that are bigger than any of his biggest songs from 2009-2019.

Some songs from this decade that I consider to be mega-hits (off the top of my head):
Watermelon Sugar
Blinding Lights
Save Your Tears
The Box
Kiss Me More
Good 4 U
As It Was
Flowers
Kill Bill
Snooze
Bad Habit
Just Wanna Rock

@thegreatdivine and @dreamville both disagree, citing Billboard stats and streaming numbers and platinum certifications as their evidence.

I’m just making this thread to settle the debate because the back and forth is pointless, but I’m curious to see what y’all think. If I’m wrong, I’m wrong, but feel free to give your opinions.

If you think he does have mega-hits this decade, name which ones you think they are.

And please don’t argue ITT, this isn’t bait, just post your opinion and keep it moving

There aren’t that many from anyone this decade so far let alone Drake tbh

Unless y’all are gonna just name any old song as a megahit lol

"citing Billboard stats and streaming numbers and platinum certifications as their evidence."

well yes.

Knife Talk

What are examples of songs from this decade you consider to be mega hits

Good question, I’ll add this to OP

Yeah you kinda have to when you throw MEGA in that b****. Like you’re limiting it to a numbers and fame based criteria just by using that word

I’d say Blinding Lights, even though it dropped in 2019, Levitating, Good4u, etc

Hmm yea sicko mode was 2018 so probably not

You mean since 2020?

But does he have any maga-hits?

Rich Flex

No hes underground

Water

Added to OP

Im so serious when I say Search & Rescue will always turn up any function

This is just a regular hit that came out this decade

i count wait 4 u as a true megahit. life is good might count but the autoplay s*** makes me unsure how much of its chart run was legitimate. the rest are minor hits and one week wonders at best.

Not really. Even the biggest hits off of CLB which was one of the most hyped albums of the decade so far barely had any staying power.

I’d say the closest he has to a mega hit this decade is probably Way 2 Sexy or Rich Flex or some s*** lol

titi me pregunto

Blinding Lights
The Box
Stay
Levitating
Heat Waves
As It Was
Last Night
Kill Bill
Life Is Good

These are megahits

Mmm actually Wait 4 U was pretty huge
