    How is it bigger than every drake hit if its doing less numbers?

    The entire industry is doing less numbers right now. You have to be relative when having these convos.

    It’s like saying Larry Bird is a worse three point shooter than Draymond Green because Draymond has more all time threes made than him.

    Carnival is #1 on every major streaming platform right now, it’s the first hip-hop song of the decade to do that

    That doesn’t mean what you think it does

    If Drake released Laugh Now Cry Later today it definitely wouldn’t debut with 66 million streams, because the charts are weaker. But you have to evaluate these things on a relative basis

    He hasn’t, but obviously these songs are going to run up numbers over years and years. That’s how streaming works.

    Carnival is about to reach platinum in like less than two months, none of those songs did that

    Drake collabs still do well but you are correct about his solo songs. He's been relying on 21 for 3 years now

    21 Savage has 17 top 10 hits to his name. 11 of them are with Drake and he has only one solo top 10 hit.

  • serenade

    to be fair, drake has had a few songs with staying power this decade (laugh now, cry later, wait 4 u, and rich flex), but yeah for the most part he has been racking up these one week wonders.

    "laugh now (at how awful this song is), cry later"

    "wait 4 u (to finally drop music that doesn't sound like it was designed by comittee)"

    "poor flex"

    All fraudulent, inorganic, algorithm and all sorts of label tactics-backed hits

  • Fax My Brother

    carnival is bigger than any drake song in the 2020's, im actually in shock. i forgot what real staying power looked like

    One thing about pop girls like Ariana grande and Taylor swift

    Their physicals sell like crazy. You go on Amazon best selling physical media, they’re at the top.
