Only reason people like Adele have so extremely high sale number is because, soccer moms are one of the only demographics still buying physical CD’s and s***.

Are you dumb? The US is Adeles BIGGEST MARKET and THE BIGGEST MUSICAL MARKET in the world so if Drake her her beat bu such a huge margin in the US then the chances of her having him beat worldwide is SLIM also I dont think More life is ceritfied by the RIAA thats another 3-4 million..I could be wrong tho. And mos of drakes songs needs to be recertified again

That entire argument is full of assumptions.

• First you link an article that only displays sales of male artists even though we are comparing a male artist to a female artist. There's no source attached to that list btw, which sales tracking company made it? It better not be RIAA. Why do they combine single sales with album sales? wtf? these aren't things you can just combine.

• and then you post a link that displays 2018 year-end sales even though we're talking about decade-end sales (2010-2020). You legit have a single digit IQ my man

I'm done here. If you want to believe Drake is the better selling artist worldwide then have at it boss. Just know that you're completely wrong.

Damn I’ve never seen this picture of drake

Ed Sheran is huge in Asia

If Viper did Logic numbers he would be up there too

Can't be the biggest and the best

Adele is more popular than Drake in Europe

..... bruh did you niggas graduate pre school? Where did I say anything about or infer anything about Europe ?

Your argument about sails fails horribly because Michael Jackson is considered the BIGGEST musical act of all time and he isnt even in top 5 best selling musical acts of all time. Hes a farrrrr way off.
My point is that Adele is not bigger than Drake when he is by every metric the most listened to/pirated artist of the DECADE/ has MUCH MORE impact and influence and has beaten Adele's overall sales throughout the decade...even if she only released two albums..

WHOS FAULT IS THAT? lmao

And I can bring up the RIAA are you dumb? The US by consumption is the majority consumer of music globally and Drake has beaten Adele's sales just check adeles overall numbers and compare it to his lmao..
Drake also has plenty of sales outside of the US so yes adele may sell better than drake outside of the Us on some years. HOWEVER the difference in the US market MORE THAN MAKES UP FOR IT.

You keep posting these uncredited instagram and weird chart pages to prove your point.

And if you read the article and looked at the IFPI page WHO ACTUALLY TRACKS WORLDWIDE SALES. Drake performed better globally over the decade

Adele and Ed are bigger because white american middle class is basic as f*** lol but ay, chase that bag

I dont know about ed but adele is definitely bigger

Holy f*** you're way dumber than i thought you were.

Drake has NOT beaten Adele's overall album sales. You really thought you did something by posting those laughable links. Here's what you should do:

• Post a best selling artists list that includes female artists too.
• Post a list that shows worldwide sales over the whole DECADE, not just 2018 (a year Adele didn't drop an album).
• Post a list that shows worldwide sales, not just US sales. That IFPI list doesn't count because it's only about sales in 2018 I don't know why this is so hard for you to understand

Do that, then we can continue this conversation, cause i'm just wasting my time here at this point.

Fam...there is no CREDITED LIST that ranks artist be sales over the Decade. Billboard/IFPI/RIAA No recognised agency does that. You have to look at Drakes numbers individually and Adele numbers individually.
I think we are both talking about different things lmao I mention OVERALL sales. As in Album + singles and when you combine that Drake far outmatches Adele. I dont know why your stuck on Album sales and I dont know why you would want to discredit single sales. I keep talking overall Drakes sales SURPASSES Adele's.
Drake has sold over 200 million units SO FAR in the US and tens of millions more Globally. How much has Adele sold??? I am seriously asking

Edit: Albums + singles is what the Guiness Book of World Records uses to judge who is the best selling artist of all time is so get Adeles total worldwide album and single numbers and we can have a conversation

Adele def is lol

Ed is debatable

Here buddy:

''21'' - 29.9 million copies sold (worldwide) & 14M in the US
''25'' - 22.2 million copies sold (worldwide) & 11M in the US

show me a Drake album that sold even half as much as any of the albums above. i'm waiting

Let's use your MJ a***ogy here...

MJ is considered the biggest artist of all time mainly due to the incredible sales performance of Thriller (best selling album ever). He is the biggest music act because he had the highest commercial peak world wide

Adele is the biggest music act of the decade because she released the two best selling albums of the decade. In other words she had the highest peak and nobody came close to that peak, not even Drake. Drake doesn't even have a higher peak than Ed Sheeran who has an album that sold 15M (more than any Drake album) and Shape of You / Thinking Out Loud are bigger than any Drake single

Drake's international sales are nothing compared to Adele's wtf 25 went 11 times platinum here and sold 6 figures in every tiny ass country on earth

Adele would smoke drake with three day sales in almost every country lol. Wtf. She smoked peak Eminem and drake isn’t even that big in terms of sales

S*** wouldn’t be fair when it comes to Adele.

Bro I stan him but come on she outsold *NSYNC at their peak

and '21' sold 14M units here, while Drake's best selling album is barely over the 5M mark

Adele is

You said that if you dominted US charts you pretty much dominated the world charts, which is not entirely true.
