    For some reason, Kanye is bigger now than he was 10 years ago. Probably due to the accessibility of streaming

    Top 20 Global Recording Artist Chart 2022 (IFPI)

    1. Taylor Swift
    2. BTS
    3. Drake
    4. Bad Bunny
    5. The Weeknd
    6. Seventeen
    7. Stray Kids
    8. Harry Styles
    9. Jay Chou
    10. Ed Sheeran
    11. Eminem
    12. Kanye West
    13. YoungBoy Never Broke Again
    14. Kendrick Lamar
    15. Lil Baby
    16. Billie Eilish
    17. Post Malone
    18. Juice Wrld
    19. The Beatles
    20. Imagine Dragons

    Imagine if he hadn't thrown his career away and wasn't mentally ill

    His erraticness has messed him up a bit but commercially it's two different leagues

    2002 - 2003 50 Cent was a different beast, plus Get Rich or Die Tryin film

    Idk I feel like that album will forever be universally known

    It definitely will, all we’re saying is that Grad is just as universally known.

    Literally 4 smash hits on that album

    Yeah because Eminem and Ye both have timeless music and TikTok is obviously helping them too

    I think even Homecoming getting a boost rn because of it too

    You don't think there's a different tier of success for

    Marshall Mathers LP, Get Rich Or Die Tryin

    VS

    Carter 3, Grad, Views etc?

    I think Grad belongs in that first tier.

    Also, MMLP is weird because those early 2000s Eminem albums have aged like milk

    It’s his biggest album for sure, but Grad is a different beast.

    Grad legitimately has four smash singles, Views has two at most (one of them being a bonus song)

    It’s not just a raw sales total though. We’re combining a lot of different factors here.

    Which is why MMLP isn’t really in the discussion because that album has aged terribly
