    Yeah bro the guy who him and his fans are all about dominance just randomly decided to stop chasing hits because he’s suddenly above it or he wants to bar out or whatever

    Not connecting like they used to?

    I mean I guess? How are we judging the not connecting like they used to?

    LNCL 4x platinum, toosie slide 4x plat went #1, what's next went #1, Jimmy cooks, first person shooter went #1,

    idk I guess you can say they're not connecting like they used to but these are pretty massive records, they sound and feel like mega hits to me and if you can't tell the difference between Jimmy cooks, and first person shooter vs like, Hold on we're going on and some of his other choices for singles in the earlier portions of his career then okay, you got it gang no debate.

    Bruh he singing in spanish w bad bunny wtf u saying

    He was singing in Spanish with Romeo Santos over a decade ago.

    Again, Jimmy cooks, Rich Flex is not the same as HOWGH, Find Your Love, and some of the other ballads and lady records that he pushed earlier in his career.

    But sure. You got it. Not debating that.

    and we’re back to using the 20s number ones as proof that he’s just as dominant as he was in the 10s but we just argued this entire thread that the charts aren’t the same as they were and nothing is sticking as much

    you stans will swap goalposts whenever possible we’re done here

    Yeah I mean he sang in Spanish multiple times before 2020, so like, I guess sure he was chasing a hit with Benito but I'd disagree with that.

    Gently is indeed terrible though. Like a bad parody

    Drake stans were relentless about Trav chasing a hit with Kpop

    They're using their feelings about what songs are mega hits and based on those feelings, no Drake songs this decade meets the criteria

    This guy also said Drake NEEDS Cole Durk and Wayne on his tours as if he didn’t always have guests.

    Gently isn’t a single off the album, if he really was chasing a hit that s*** would have gotten pushed heavy. But since he’s rapping in Spanish it’s “chasing a hit”? Doesn’t add up

    I think @SeattleZ12 is mostly projecting

    You're not really using chart data meaningfully though. The whole argument here is that post-pandemic Drake singles debut at #1 off name value and crater a week later.

    Considering the sad state of the charts, I would say a mega-hit was likely the biggest song in the country for more than a week. That's a metric I care about, at least.

    I just can't keep up

    So Rich Flex was a smash, went #1 not a mega hit because the new streaming rules, it doesn't count

    Jimmy cooks #1, nope don't count because new streaming rules or something

    LNCL, Toosie slide, Wait for You with Future and Tems, nope.

    I guess. Tough croud

    If we're talking mega-hits, these songs really are more comparable to Carnival (not a mega-hit) than One Dance or God's Plan. These songs have hung around, but mega-hit? Really?

    I think this discussion says just as much about the state of the music industry as it does about Drake's current ability to make hits.
