    Never said it wasn’t a hit.

    We’re talking about WORLDWIDE SMASHES.

    There’s a difference

    According to "thegreatdivine" the song "Controlla" is a worldwide smash. Cheers!

    You know I’m right

    You know how many worldwide recognizable songs never went Diamond?

    And you’re in here saying Too Good by Drake can stand next to Graduation’s singles because it’s approaching diamond status in the streaming era. Give me a break man.

    You have no argument to make in this case. You just don't want to lose. The fact remains that Views has 4 HUGE singles. It's not Drake's fault that he dropped an album with 4 huge singles 9 years after Graduation. You're the one here arguing Graduation's singles are bigger simply because YOU believe so but that argument can be made about thousands of albums released before the streaming era so it's a useless argument to make.

    Your first mistake was boldly stating that Views didn't have 4 huge singles without first checking the numbers to confirm. I checked and confirmed it does. The end.

    Carter 3 had more than two. A Milli and Lollipop are already two. Lol

    Album has Got Money and Mrs. Officer too

    Also outsold Grad

    A Milli and Lollipop for sure

    Mrs. Officer yes… but to a lesser extent

    Got Money I would not include in that group, hasn’t aged well at all

    And like I said before, using raw streaming numbers to boost that is disingenuous. Post Malone has 8 Diamond singles, are any of them bigger than Beat It?

    This means Post Malone is bigger than Drake right?

    No, I’m not saying fault them, but you can tell which songs are on that level and which are just being propped up by the streaming era.

    Songs like God’s Plan, Nice For What, In My Feelings, One Dance, Hotline Bling… those are SMASHES.

    Not damn Too Good

    You're arguing semantics. I have zero interest in that argument. Too Good has 1B streams on Spotify and has moved almost 10M units in the US despite being the FIFTH single off Views. Because it didn't "feel" huge to you, doesn't mean it isn't.

    So it’s as big of a song as Beat It by MJ then, right?

    Again, you are a pathetic loser

    First, it was Views doesn't have 4 huge singles. Then, it because the hits off Views weren't as iconic as the ones off Graduation. Now, it's Too Good wasn't a worldwide smash

    I really wanna hear her thoughts on a song like Faneto or Dreams & Nightmares, if she even understands how big those songs are in black America, even though they never charted at all on the Hot 100.

    Both songs are bigger than Too Good also

    Who cares? He dropped those songs in the streaming era and they're some of the most-streamed songs released in the streaming era. Going back years before the streaming era and pointing out songs that were huge at their time and using that to talk down on songs that are also huge in their time is a foolish thing to do.

    I’m not talking down on them, I’m just saying all streaming hits are not made the same.

    Drake has legitimate smashes in the streaming era, multiple of them.

    Too Good is not one of them

    Last night was a flavor of the year song. Dreams and nightmares is synonymous with an entire city. The eagles played it when they won the Super Bowl.

    She acts like I’m saying Nice For What wasn’t huge

    We’re talking about TOO GOOD

    Yet it never charted on the Hot 100, and is only 2x Platinum.

    Divine doesn’t understand that raw numbers don’t always tell the whole story on how big a song really is or isn’t
