David Bowie — 856 weeks

Actually, Too Good gets the least daily streams out of the top 15 right now. People aren't interested in listening to that song right now.

do you consider jumpman a smash hit? it was popping like a mf back in the day

yet it has half the daily streams of Too Good currently

Started from the Bottom was everywhere back then.. also has half the streams of Too Good

Know Yourself was an absolute hit in 2015, every live show drake performed it rang off.. it has 67k streams daily on spotify...

"85 songs" above it, ya no s*** he has like 6 projects released since Views

Why dig so deep to try and discredit a hit (its a hit whether you like it or not, is it a "smash" hit... thats subjective) when the numbers clearly who it streams better than some of the other "hits" that came out during its time

!!!!

Jumpman was never a smash hit. A hit, yes. A smash, no.

Also nobody is discrediting anything Too Good was a hit but it's just not that consumed anymore and thats totally fine

Divine knows damn well what the difference between a hit and a smash hit is, she’s just being obtuse

Since 2015, Drake has released the following projects on streaming:
If You're Reading This It's Too Late
What a Time to Be Alive
Views
More Life
Scorpion
So Far Gone (streaming release)
Care Package
Dark Lane Demo Tapes
Certified Lover Boy
Honestly, Nevermind
Her Loss
For All the Dogs

Not to mention all the features he's done and then songs like What's Next, Wants and Needs, Lemon Pepper Freestyle, Laugh Now Cry Later, Search & Rescue etc that didn't land on any project but they expect all his hits to still average 1M streams every day 8 years later lmao.

its funny cus without looking at numbers I would say jumpman is a smash hit over too good

but thats my own bias

A smash is gonna get crazy streams regardless. Too Good is getting less daily streams than some Drake songs that released pre-streaming

1B streams on Spotify + 8M units sold in the US + reaching the top 10 in a dozen international markets = not a smash hit because KTT2 user shaleirose said so

discussion got me deep diving some legacy acts streaming numbers

Did you expect a Drake & Rihanna collab in the streaming era to not do numbers?

I hope this site is around in 2033, because I’m gonna have a laugh when Divine is still on here tryna prove that Slime You Out is a smash hit because it’s approaching 1 billion streams or some s***

This whole discussion from the start was pointless as hell

We can't compare Drake's streaming numbers with artists like Kanye, Eminem, 50 Cent or even MJ anyways

All of their hits, smash hits and classic albums kinda dropped before streaming era really blew up

Eminem was lucky because he was one of the first "oldschool" artists that had multiple songs going in on streams, thats why he has 8 songs over 1 billion streams (soon 9 with Stan)

Kanye took a little bit longer, has 3 at the moment but in a few weeks 5 with Gold Digger and Heartless. Might have up to 9 in the next 1.5-2 years with Power, FSMH, Flashing Lights and Bound 2. I Wonder and Homecoming are both at 500 million streams but will probably have a billion in the next years too

Drake's streaming numbers are obviously very very impressive but to me it's more impressive that Eminem and Ye both have massive streaming numbers too while both had their peaks in the 00s (Ye early 10s)

At some point all of the bigger legendary artists will have like 30-40 songs over 1 billion thats why this discussion is so pointless

Exactly. Divine doesn’t realize that. With streaming, at a certain point, so many songs from big artists are gonna be appearing 1 billion streams or Diamond status, so using that as fact to back up a song being bigger than a song pre-streaming that never went Diamond is genuinely absurd.

Nigga, just shut up. Go back to convincing yourself a song that's almost Diamond in the US and was big enough to reach the top 10 in a dozen international markets isn't a smash hit because YOU "feel" it wasn't lmao.

Almost Diamond… in the streaming era.

In 20-30 years do you realize how many songs will be Diamond due to streaming if these rules aren’t changed?

It’s literally endless sales for artists with millions of fans

Oh yes, now let's s*** on Drake's dominance in the streaming era like he also didn't debut YEARS before the streaming era

He dropped 3 albums before the streaming era was a thing but yes, let's use the streaming era to talk down on how massive an artist he is and his hits are :jordanlaff3:

Billboard/RIAA needs to tweak these SEA rules because s*** gonna look real spooky in the 2040s and 2050s

Why did Stronger manage to hit Diamond while no other song off Graduation is close to doing so, since you keep insisting the singles off Graduation are bigger than anything off Views and would have been bigger if they dropped in the streaming era?

How many Diamond singles does he have that released pre-streaming? Quickly!

Who itt s*** on Drake's dominance now actual mental illness

Because Stronger is the biggest song on Graduation, which further emphasizes how hard it was to go Diamond pre-streaming

That's why the comparisons with MJ are even worse dawg singles had no power in the 70s, 80s and 90s

MJ literally had one of the biggest single for years and that s*** never went Diamond
