    Also, if there’s a debate about two albums and the topic is “Which album is bigger?” and you feel like one album would only get votes from biased fans… then maybe that album isn’t actually bigger than the other one

    Mmm Hmm

    The thing with Drake is

    He's built up so much of a rep where he will always get play no matter what as long as the music isn't mysterious or massively different like HNVM or demo tapes was.

    His core regardless

    He will always sell above 300k
    Even when he puts out horrible singles like way 2 sexy clb came thru with 600k

    Even a very divisive single like slime
    Got him 400k

    Drake doesn't really need a smash anymore because he's Drake

    As long as he puts out jack of all trades music he will stay in his anomaly bag

    I wouldn't put em with Drake at all

    Em selling less than 300k and that was in 2020

    He's not hitting 300k + anymore unless he has a certified smash

    But prob has a guaranteed 150k fanbase

    Can't really say this about Drake because the music industry is drastically changing. We'll have to wait and see how well he sells throughout the rest of the decade.

    Hotline Bling is a bonus song that was released a year before the album came out, but sure.

    One Dance, yes.

    Controlla is big but not on the level of any of the four big singles from Graduation.

    And Too Good absolutely not.

    What does it being a bonus song matter? Travis Scott released Butterfly Effect on May 15, 2017 and added it to Astroworld, which was released on August 3, 2018. Bad Bunny released Callaíta on May 31, 2019 and added it to Un Verano Sin Ti, which was released on May 6, 2022. Hotline Bling was released on July 31, 2015 and was added to Views, which was released on April 29, 2016. Of all 3 examples, Hotline Bling/Views has the shortest timespan.

    Also, by every conceivable metric, One Dance, Hotline Bling, Controlla and Too Good are all huge singles. One Dance/Hotline Bling are Diamond-certified smash hit records that both peaked in the top 2 of the Hot 100. Controlla has almost 800M streams on Spotify and has moved almost 7M units in the US while Too Good has 1B streams on Spotify and has moved almost almost 8M units in the US.

    How those don't register as huge singles, I don't know, but you've got it, as always.

    You gonna sit here and act like Controlla and Too Good are anywhere near as iconic as songs like Stronger, Good Life, Flashing Lights, and Can’t Tell Me Nothing?

    Is that really where we find ourselves right now?
