Both ran the decade, commercially. Artistically is more of a debate. So who had the better 10 year run?

in b4 unnecessarily belligerent stan wars

I mean definitely drake lol

Weeknd doing very well tho

nobody had a better decade than DRAKE

Weeknd does have the better label in terms of success

Drake but both had legendary decades. Let’s celebrate these two kings while they’re still around

both indisputable legends

I agree, Drake. But Weeknd had a great decade too

I'd give Drake a slight edge but it was closer than I though, numbers wise. both have been super successful

Idk if I'm more surprised Drake has 44 nominations, or 44 nominations with only 4 wins. That's 1/11 chance

These guys dominated the decade

The Weeknd aint drop no mid like champagnepapa did

Canada won

obviously drake, people only know like 5 weeknd songs

Drake never sacrificed quality for commercial success.

commercially? drake, no question. artistically? I gotta go with weeknd.

both ran their respective lanes though, so you gotta hand it to them.

right foot up

left foot slide

Drake off Take Care and NWTS alone

Drake has been more consistent over the decade while Weeknd had higher highs to me

Drake, Weeknd, Rihanna, Adele, and Taylor pretty much defined mainstream music of the 2010s

drake pretty easily

Included critical acclaim and even in that they're eerily close lol

Drake really is MJ in every way
