drake was biggest rapper 2012 on
2014(cole) and 2017(kendrick) are debatable
best rapper from 2012 on too
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
after 6 years...
Thank Me Later - 1.8M
Pink Friday - 3M
*RIAA release date for Pink Friday is incorrect, it was released Nov 22, 2010
Bro pink friday had multiple versions released
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.

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

Your also using riaa certs vs pure sales numbers lol
there was probably a short period of time after nicki blew up where she was bigger. drake took it post take care and ran with it though
No it didn’t
yes it did? pink friday outsold thank me later overall

thats what me and @martian_master sayin
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.

Thank Me Later - 1.8M
Pink Friday - 3M

Thank Me Later is also eligible for 3x Platinum.
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.
