Scorpion is the Drake album with the amount of smash singles akin to Graduation. Take Care arguably as well.

Definitely not Views

Controlla

Too Good was only a hit because of Rihanna

If Coles next album is actually the fall off I promise it’ll do numbers. He’s been building hype for like 5 years

Not sure about Kendrick tho. If he repeats his cycle then his next album should be more mainstream and do numbers

You asked for 4 huge singles off Views to be mentioned and then you went on to talk down on 3 of those songs to act like they weren't huge singles or something.

Who cares whether or not you think they're iconic? The debate was about Views having 4 huge singles, which it does. 2 singles off the album are already certified Diamond and 2 more are on the way. 3 already have 1B streams each on Spotify with a fourth on the way.

Imagine talking down on Views or anything concerning that era when people till today still refer back to 2016 as their last best summer and Views and its singles thoroughly defined that summer

People talk more about TLOP than about Views if we're talking about 2016

Blink182 label about to finesse that #1 btw

Yup

C’mon man, you know damn well if Graduation was released in the streaming era all 4 of those singles would be Diamond as well too.

Post Malone has 8 damn Diamond singles, it’s clearly much easier to get a Diamond single in the streaming era than it was pre-streaming.

Nobody in their right mind would tell you that Controlla and Too Good are anywhere near the level of cultural status as the 4 singles from Graduation are

And by people he means his white friends

Glad we can agree on that

Both mid to be real

Gods Plan

Not really, everyone who f***s with that album is hispanic or black in my circle

Actually dont even know a single white person who f***s with TLOP

If you wanna talk smash singles, Scorpion is the album that’s comparable to Graduation. Not Views.

Nonstop, God’s Plan, In My Feelings, and Nice For What can easily all stand next to Stronger, Can’t Tell Me Nothing, Good Life, and Flashing Lights.

Both good albums but TLOP is better

bad bunny didnt hit #1 his first week?

In My Feelings aged like absolute dogmilk tho

You think so? I heard it a few days ago and it still sounds great to me

Sorry to tell you
VIEWS ran that summer
And well into the fall

One of his worst singles imo

Stop crying. You asked for 4 huge singles off Views and I gave them to you. Stop with the coulda, shoulda, woulda s***. Many songs off Thank Me Later, Take Care and Nothing Was the Same would have also been bigger if they dropped in the streaming era but that's not the argument being had.

Don't try to downplay Post Malone's hits. If it was so easy to go Diamond now, Taylor Swift would have 30 Diamond singles already. Going Diamond is still hard and is something only the biggest songs which stream really well over an extended period of time can manage.

Views and TLOP

You probably just listened to Views

The casual listener listened to both albums at that time
