This thread was made every year since 2015 and every year since Drake has consistently outperformed and outsold posty... yall gotta stop now 😂

21 had 4 multi-platinum hits. 25 had one multi-plat.

Only artist I can see overlapping Drake in popularity in the next few years.

I already addressed this. 21 had 4 multiplat hits and 25 had 1.

is it just me or does it seem like all Adele songs just run together?

I didn't look up the sales of each single. I just went off memory because they played the f*** out of those songs on radio.

25 kinda not that crazy of an album tbh
let's be Honest

i rather listen to mary magdalene than that album any day

The only thing Drake outright dominates Post in is first week sales, Post is around Drake level in everything else. Drake has the advantage in first week sales since he is firmly hip hop and Post is pop-adjacent. Post has 3 albums in the top 50 right now while Drake has 2, so he edges out Drake in longevity.

i agree but that doesn't mean millions of soccer moms agree lol. sales only one part shes still performing in front of an audience more than double the size of anyone mentioned in this thread

Did I step into a time machine? Radio doesn't determine hits anymore.

Post is bigger than Drake worldwide.

Crying at y’all thinking worldwide is USA and Europe. Nobody in Asia gives a f*** about Drake. They know Post tho.

oh no I'm only speaking quality!
adele sales are astronomical and incomparable

This is 2015 we're talking about. That's the only way I'll ever hear any of Adele's music. I'm not streaming or downloading her stupidass albums

Still blows my mind how Adele's 25 sold 3.3M first week in the US and 5.1M worldwide that album was so mid compared to 21

Ariana Grande?

Source?

Doesn't hurt sales for artists who appeal to the iTunes audience

Since the late 2000s iTunes has slowly grown to become the hub of audiences who purchase music. Ppl like Taylor Swift and Adele who do huge pure sales do so in large part to iTunes (aside from Target)

She's still doing 1m+ pure when she drops

South America too

lmao asia def gives a f*** about drake fym?
all middle eastern dudes wanna look like him

I'm just saying those 3 non-Hello singles performed well below expectations. The word for that is "flopped."

Adele

LOL
Take care 6x platinum
NWTS 4x platinum
IYRTITL2x platinum
Views 6x platinum
More life 3x platinum eligible
Scorpion 5x platinum

Drake domimates posty in single sales and album sales
Views has 20 songs and EVERY SONG IS ELIGIPLE FOR PLATINUM OR CERTIFIED PLATINUM OR MULTIPLATINUM. And thats the trend for most of his albums

Dawg going bad Feat drake is 5x and Yes indeed is also 5x platinum
platinum... aint NOBODY checking a post malone feature that hard.

BB&B came out in 2018 same as scorpion BUT months EARLIER....guess which one sold more up to this point LOL

Ariana isn't in the same stratosphere as Post. Media hypes her up because there needs to be an alpha white female artist. Numbers don't match the hype

The numbers are certainly there (album sales and singles sales) but it's still too early to say Post is bigger than Drake. He's definitely making a case for himself tho. If he keeps this momentum up for another 5 years he might surpass drake
