    i initially thought this but revisited. dont think its right

    In 2010
    Thank Me Later sold 447K first week and moved 1M units in a month and 5 days

    Pink Friday sold 375K first week and moved 1M units in 3.5 weeks

    and TML had 3 top 20 hits, one being a top 5. Pink Friday had 4 top 20 hits, one being a top 3 - the 8x Plat iconic Super Bass.

    and then features like Monster.

    So I think Nicki got 2010 tbh

    When did pink friday go plat in 3 weeks. You got your numbers wrong lol

    Pink Friday dropped Nov 22, 2010 and went Plat Dec 17 2010.

    (The release date on RIAA is incorrect, it is Nov 22 2010, riaa.com/gold-platinum check yourself)

    And it only had 1 version + the deluxe editions like Thank Me Later Did. Pink Friday Roman Reloaded is a separate album if you mean that.

    pink friday outsold thank me later 🤷‍♂️

    No it didn’t

  • Why do y’all argue stuff like this instead of just looking at the numbers?

    trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=%2Fm%2F05mt_q,%2Fm%2F047sxrj

    All sales/streams metrics point to drake always being a bigger artist every year. Having a bigger song at a certain moment like anaconda doesn’t make her a bigger artist overall

    Jan 1 2012 they had an equal amount of searches & Jan 1 2014 Nicki had 3 points more than Drake. But that’s it 2 days (or months) out of 10+ years

    i feel like internationally yes

    Thats not how that works lol
    Matter of fact that wasnt even a thing in 2010

    This is definitely not true.

    Super Bass was Nicki's first top 5 hit. Super Bass peaked at #3 in August 2011. Best I Ever Had peaked at #2 in August 2009. Also, despite Best I Ever Had being a rap song, it peaked higher than Super Bass and only spent 3 fewer weeks in the top 10 than Super Bass did.

    Nicki was NEVER bigger than Drake. She was only bigger than him on pop radio because made bubblegum pop hits early in her career while Drake didn't but Drake's hits were always bigger/just as big and he was scoring hits as a solo/lead artist before Nicki.

    Super Bass was the 8th biggest song of 2011. Drake didn’t get a top 20 on the year end charts until 2012 with the Motto reaching #20 (that same year Nicki had Starships at #9). Drake didn’t hit the top 10 on any year end chart until 2016.

    the verses are rap on superbass to.
    just the hook is singing on superbass just like best i ever had.

    The only time this could've been arguable was 2010.
    Drake dropped Take Care and then Nicki would never be able to catch up lol.
