    Blinding Lights literally was number one on the UK charts for 8 weeks, spent 89 weeks in the Top 100, and has the country’s record for longest run in the Top 75 at 103 weeks.

    How are you so loud and wrong?

    Yeah meanwhile One Dance had 15 weeks at #1 lol. BL wasn't as big as you you like to pretend

    if MJ released an album like that in the 80s/90s do you think no one would have bought it?

    Lady Gaga is not MJ

    And no, I don't think a Michael Jackson jazz soundtrack album with covers of songs from the 40s-50s would be that successful tbh

    Also, we are not in the 80s/90s

    Literally

    It’s like if you give someone 9 dimes vs. 1 dollar bill.

    Sure you have more items with 9 dimes but the 1 dollar still is worth more

    That is completely irrelevant lol, we were talking about if Wekend's 20/21 was as big as Drake's 2018, which it clearly wasnt

    Blinding Lights spent 147.

    It's pretty hilarious that no one ever cares about that until they're trying to nitpick a stat lol.

    The only stat people ever cared about when it came to singles was weeks at #1. Until Billboard released a scam NFT project & announced Blinding Lights is their #1 song of all time on their "all time performance chart" and people like you fell for it.

    Billboard/UKcharts don't even release an official chart for "most weeks on the chart" for a reason

    By weeks at #1, BL wasn't even a top 5 hit of the last 10 years in either the US or UK
    But by a nitpicked random stat (That no one cares about normally) of the "longest time on the chart" it's the biggest song, pretty funny.

    You’re measuring how big someone was during a year with how successful their songs were.

    We’re explaining to you how one Weeknd song was arguably more successful than all of Drake’s 2018 output combined.

    Blinding Lights was a generational once in a career type hit.

    Not to mention the had like 3-4 other smashes in 2020/2021

    Weeks at #1 is not the end all be all.

    If you have two songs.

    One that stayed at #1 for five weeks, then dropped off the chart.

    And another that stayed at #2 for ten weeks, then dropped off the chart.

    The second song was obviously the bigger song

    It is 100% more impressive that Blinding Lights re-entered the UK chart three years after its’ release (after spending 146 weeks already on the chart) than it is that One Dance spent 15 weeks at #1

    Harry's last 2 albums were way more popular than DRake's last 2 & Weeknd's last 2. That's my point

    Why would you look at it as last 2 and not what they were doing actively at the same time? CLB crushed Fine Line and Harry’s House is propped up by its pure sales. Drake doubles that boy in weekly streams and is only like 100k short off just streams, which to me counts more in this current era.

    Harry’s streams are weaker than Travis Scott but he’s a superstar

    It’s not pure cope

    How is it not impressive that a three year old song randomly re-entered the charts?

    One Dance was off the UK chart after one year.

    Blinding Lights spent almost THREE YEARS on it.

    It would have to be pure delusion to believe that One Dance was the bigger song in the UK

    That's funny because everyone saw it as the end all be all until Billboard released a scam & announced BL as their biggest song of all time at the same time

    This isn't even to mention that BL had very fortunate timing & wouldn't have had as much success if it wasn't released during the 2 years artists were barely dropping music lol. but still
