Yes, he is.

I mean, Drake himself chose to label it as such

And when the numbers were reported as Drake's tour a few people said make sure you include 21 like he contributed much lol

The tour is officially and legally labeled as “Drake & 21”.

That’s why people said don’t forget to include 21’s name

Surely there's been less than 5 songs with 14.5m in 1 day right? non album bombs anyway
that's insane

Weeknd isn't bigger in Canada or UK either tbh

Ive also shown you like 5 countries in Europe where Drake's had way more chart success than Weeknd

is there a source for Weeknd outstreaming Drake globally in 2023?

$41 avg ticket price lmao what on earth

Your definition of “more chart success” is One Dance spending a few more weeks at #1 in the UK than Blinding Lights, even though Blinding Lights was on the chart for two entire more years

And yes, the source is Spotify:

Nah. Drake's had 5 top 10 songs in Spain for example, The Weeknd has had 4

Same in Netherlands, DRake has had 10 top 10s, 3 #1s there
Weeknd 7 top 10s, 2 #1s

Germany Drake 7 top 10s, 2 #1s, Weeknd 6 top 10s, 1 #1

You obsess over chart position rather than chart longevity and I will never understand why

A song can debut at #1 and stay there for one week. Chart position alone without any context means absolutely nothing.

Weeknd is in the midst of a huge album rollout supported by Apple, with 2 singles out

chart performance?
Spain: Neither in top 100
UK: Timeless 19th, DITF 43rd
Netherlands: Timeless 54th, DITF 59th
US: Timeless 13th, DITF 52nd

global superstar with a rollout going double doodoo

yes i'm talking about the last 15 years of their careers, rather than focusing on 1 song which is a complete outlier, how is that bad lol

Post about how Slime You Out debuted at #1 and then completely disappeared off the chart mere weeks later

Drake hasn't had a superstar album in a long time lol don't make me anger thegreatdivine

All of Drake’s “hits” for the past 5 years have been extremely short-lived on the charts

Exactly, so I’m saying that chart position ALONE without any context doesn’t really mean anything

yeah drake doesn't care about making hits anymore

he hasn't even made a music video for an album's single before dropping the album in like.. 8 years lol. s***'s weird

You can say this, but do you really think any song he’s dropped within the past 5 years is long-term hit material?

The difference being The Weeknd is on his knees for promo, collabing with apple, dropping multiple mvs before the album, and he's literally a popstar, Drake isn't a popstar, yet it still isn't resulting in success for the weeknd, i don't get how you don't think that's a problem

Nop he stopped caring about numbers after he dropped Scorpion, doesn't make any pop music anymore and even sabotages his catchy s*** seemingly on purpose with stupid intros/outros or weird fts like SExy redd lmao

his sstyle of music also just rarely charts well now too

Like I’ve explained before, The Weeknd has had numerous songs take a while to catch wind with the GP. It’s been a month since the two singles dropped, I’m not losing sleep over how they’re doing commercially yet.

I keep saying just give it a couple months and then you can call it a flop all you want if it still never takes off, but Weeknd has already proven time and time again that a lot of his hit records are slow burns

How was that a weird feature? She was extremely hot last year and Rich Baby Daddy was the most popular song on that album

sexy redd has never been on a hit, she's too divisive
if ur tryna get a hit why would you hit her up

Sexyy Red literally had two of the most viral rap songs last year

Also had Get It Sexy this year

Nah bruh yall have to be unemployed
