BTS gained 100.1M in 24hrs

list of artists who were bigger than drake in their primes:

MJ
Prince
Queen
Madonna
ACDC
The Beatles
Adele

Michael Jackson nigga Thugger Jackson moonwalkin

The slime army tool shoppin

The talent is undeniable

Never ever lol, people are too lazy and not bold enough nowadays to experiment and shift the culture as much as him

What numbers are you going off? If that was true why has Drake passed almost every record they held? Only a few left. I disagree strongly with Madonna and Adele but I wasn't really old enough for The Beatles or Queen

True.

streaming and CD/LP era are hardly comparable anyways. but Madonna is the best selling female artist of all time. several of her albums sold 20-30 million WW. people went to stores and were willing to spend $15 on her music. the hype around her in the 80s and 90s was insane, she was constantly the hot topic, much more prominent than any artist nowadays. so she won with numbers (she also has more #1 hits but drake could beat that) and by headlines and hype. she also has some of the highest grossing tours ever.

Drake

As a representative of the mj is innocent committee, I must admit this song is a bop. Mainly because of “the way you make me feel” melody but that’s neither here nor there.

No don’t say that. Wtf. This guy wants culture dead

i prefer the fragmented and varied world we live in today over the monolithic cultural world of the past

everything is cool now

The closest thing we got to MJ was drake

And that’s a stretch

We need an mj tho, it would be cool to see someone do that in today’s times

we have the next MJ. her name is billie eilish

But we don’t lol we’ve survived the last 10 years without one and we’re fine

“We’re fine”
New artist sells above 500k
Everybody: the new mj

need?

Really not getting the point of this post lol

Anyone who says stuff like that always gets s*** on immediately

yeah they say that for likes LOL

I just mean people are quick to name someone the new Michael jackson prolly means we do. It would be nice to have someone unite these different niches at a time like this. Kinda like a symbol @americana

We will never have another Michael Jackson.

And we can survive without one.

yes, because people still cling onto old cultural standards of this idea that culture must be concentrated on the living pantheon. we’re still transitioning to a culture that works best on our new digital medium and it’ll take a while for people who spent their entire lives growing up in one cultural system to get used to the next

give it 10-20 years

MJ sold 1 million copies of Thriller each week (US only)..months and years after release. and people paid money for it, they wanted to own that album.
