Jul 17, 2024Eminem albums sold way more than Drake’s lol
Jul 17, 2024Easily Eminem. World wide, domestically etc... however you want to look at it.
No artist or celebrity during this streaming era will ever be as big as the biggest artist/celebrities pre streaming. It's just impossible imo

Not only was peak Eminem bigger than Drake, peak Eminem was bigger than EVERYBODY lol
He was damn near Michael Jackson levels of popularity when he was in his prime.

I respect people saying Em. It's impossible to do a 1:1 comparison due to how commercial performances changed during that time so in the end it's just guesswork.
But Drake's 2018:
God's Plan: #1, most streamed song in 2018 and it went 8x platinum in 6 months
He released ''Nice For what'' 3 months after God's Plan: Another #1 and it went 5x platinum in 5 months. Beautiful and powerful women empowering song. One of my all time fave Drake songs
2 months later ''In My Feelings'' became a worldwide hit. Another #1 that went 5x plat in 5 months
He also had several huge feature hits during that period. Look Alive, Yes Indeed etc.
And his 2016 was also crazy. Several huge worldwide hits and Views did 1m first week. Were there any rappers who came close to such numbers in 2016, 17, 18?
Like, look at this list from Forbes:
''Here is the full list of the top 10 bestselling albums in the world in 2016:
1. Beyoncé - Lemonade, 2.5 million
2. Adele - 25, 2.4 million
3. Drake - Views, 2.3 million
4. Metallica - Hardwired...to Self-Destruct, 2.1 million
5. David Bowie - Blackstar, 1.9 million
6. The Rolling Stones - Blue & Lonesome, 1.8 million
7. Bruno Mars - 24k Magic, 1.7 million
8. Twenty One Pilots - Blurryface, 1.5 million
9. Coldplay - A Head Full of Dreams, 1.4 million
10. Pentatonix - A Pentatonix Christmas, 1.4 million''

Nah Drake was the most streamed artist in 2018. Travis wasnt in the top 10.
Scorpion 2nd best selling album that year only behind Swift. Astroworld #7. 
Jul 17, 2024Can’t really compare pre streaming to post streaming
Jul 17, 2024Eminem without question.

Honestly there’s no right or wrong answer. It’s impossible to compare their runs given the different eras with each run
