Hyping up Old Town Road to undermine The Weeknd is a new low for this thread and that’s saying a lot
Keep it up guys
A song that is currently getting less than 250K daily streams, mind you
Niggas don’t even be reading they just come on here thinking about Drake
Milton could’ve at least warned him he just froze and let his mans be wrong
A song that is currently getting less than 250K daily streams, mind you
A meme country rap song that got it’s attention from angry boomer conservatives that a homosexual black man dared to drop something in their genre
That’s what we should be celebrating and giving flowers because it’s one of the biggest songs ever

Song was a meme that everyone forgot about after the year ended
No serious person is unironically listening to Old Town Road in 2025

It’s no different to me when they try to act like God’s Plan is some sort of crown jewel for Drake’s artistry because it’s a really big song
Arguably one of the laziest songs he’s ever made
“Regarded by many as the Song of the Summer for 2025”
Song spent less weeks on the Hot 100 than the flop single Timeless by The Weeknd 💔

They talk about it like it’s Billie Jean or some s***, whole time it’s just a mediocre popular pop rap song

2. Not Like Us - 1.038B
3. Life is Good - 1.035B
4. Last Night - 1.015B
5. A Bar Song (Tipsy) - 1.010B
6. Beautiful Things - 895M
7. I Had Some Help - 883M
8. Lose Control - 883M

fabricating lies is crazy, the sources are all right there.

It's literally 29th.. one of the apparent biggest songs of all time lol.
From that list it's very clear that in terms of pop "Shape of You" was far, far bigger in the US than Blinding Lights considering Shape of You also sold 2.5m pure that year, BL sold 500k in 2020. Insane
Sicko Mode & IMF also only did those numbers in like 5 months, they probably did 50% higher over the whole year (like BL had). Biggest songs of the streaming era in the US imo are Sicko Mode, Despacito, Sunflower & OTR. BL is maybe, maybe.. 7th-8th
Lil Tecca, "Ran$om" streams from May 2019 - end of year: 959m
Not Like Us streams from MAy 2019 - end of year: 823m
what the f***
Drake is so scared of Taylor
He will wait for the announcement after the 14th week at #1 of Showgirl.

Can you read? I said Blinding Lights is 11th this decade and you posting stats from 2017
Blinding Lights had more longevity than literally all of these songs combined so your point is still completely wrong
Also you straight up lied in your post, Sicko Mode did 962M in 2019… not 2018. So it did that in an entire year, not in the five months of 2018 in which it was first released 💀

you said BL is one of the biggest songs of all time lol
you also said that about NLU
and my originla post was about ALL time streaming songs, not this decade
BL wasn't even released this decade lol

It was released November 29, 2019, it was basically a 2020s release.
Yes I did say that it’s one of the biggest songs of all time and that’s because of its full performance. You keep focusing on one single year when nobody is talking about that. I never claimed that BL had the biggest YEAR for a single ever, that would be false
