you were literally spamming the fact bruno onlyt has 1 #1 here and you've been s*** talking drake's chart performances for a while lol

That's the good thing about statistics, they show you're wrong.

Kendrick also hasn't had an album that does damage in 7 years so this is such a crazy convo

I only brought that up because someone in here saying Weeknd isn’t a global superstar because he lost the #1 to Gunna

I’ve never s*** on Bruno ITT, I’ve said numerous times I’m a big fan and I even said congrats when he broke the monthly listeners record

That’s the good thing about living in the real world, it shows you that you’re delusional

Kendrick has dropped a total of two albums in the past 7 years what kind of criticism is that

That's quite ironic considering opinions that disagree with facts are by definition, delusions :)

It is not a “fact” that Tyler, the Creator is closing the gap on Kendrick.

Kendrick just dropped the biggest rap song of the decade, is about to perform at the Super Bowl, and is embarking on a stadium tour next year.

With all due respect, he is unequivocally bigger than Tyler, the Creator

Think sao paulo is a hit lowkey outside the us

Yet Tyler's last album is more popular than Kendrick last album - fact

so yes, he is closing the gap in popularity

Chromakopia sold more first week than Bruno Mars’s last solo album too, I guess he’s closing the gap with him as well!

Straight delusional

This is gonna trigger you lmao but Bruno isn't that guy in the US at all, he's THAT GUY globally, not in the US.

I don't think he's even top 10 in the US anymore, maybe not even top 15. His last #1s were... 2021 and then all the way back in 2017.. lets be real here

(idk if i'd say Tyler's bigger in the US though, im just saying Bruno isn't that big in the US)

You have a severe recency bias problem

Bruno literally has the #4 and #8 song in the country right now

300 thousand on me!

Recency bias being the last 6 years? Lol come on.

Dog Bruno Mars barely drops music. But every single time he does, he gets at least one smash hit.

He literally has two songs in the Top 10 of the Hot 100 right now and those are the first new songs he’s dropped since 2021

sure but having a hit album is far more impressive and he hasn't done that since 24k Magic, in 2016. Silk Sonic collab basically flopped.

due to Bruno's lack of music in the last decade I'd actually say Tyler's arguably the same level as Bruno in the US, if Bruno announced a new album tomorrow it wouldn't even generate half the hype that Tyler did in the last month, bruno's basically carried by what he did 14 years ago when it comes to the US

Stop living on Spotify Charts and step outside please

yeah anecdotes > actual statistical facts lol

Kendrick's last album came out in 2022 to roughly the same first week numbers as Tyler's 2024 album

This year, Kendrick dropped arguably the biggest rap song of the decade and is about to play the Super Bowl and go on a stadium tour

It's reasonable to argue that Tyler is more popular than he's ever been, but by every metric that exists, Kendrick has also gotten bigger

So it doesn't really make logical sense to argue that Tyler is catching up with Kendrick. If you're going to highlight someone he's catching up to, pick a stagnant artist, not one who's growing.

I honestly think Kendrick's next album even outdoes Drake but I don't think the superbowl/stadium tours are gonna help him, because they didn't help a certain other artists first week numbers

the beef will definitely help him though

but the point was more that Tyler's now on that level with Travis/Kendrick/Cole below Drake, Kendrick will probably ascend to Drake's level with the next album, but we don't know that for sure yet. A lot of people thought The Weeknd was gonna start doing Drake numbers after the Superbowl, and the same for Kendrick back when Mr Morale dropped even

There is no statistical fact to even imply that Tyler is anywhere near Kendrick

right, lets just ignore the fact tyler's album is outstreaming kendrick's latest album

this is generational hating fr

It’s not outstreaming it

Also you are insane if you think Kendrick’s next album isn’t going to blow the Morale streaming numbers out of the water
