    You know what I mean lol. People don't talk about him as a celebrity outside of his music anywhere near as much as others

    Sabrina is an example of what I'm talking about, she hasn't just come along w/ music and that's it. She's dating celebs, being in drama, collabing with huge brands, doing crazy s*** on tour which goes viral every week, causing headlines for things that aren't just music

    S*** man I'd even say people talk about Future (non music) more than The Weeknd (non music) because of all the dumb memes he's associated with

    Drake owes a LOT of his success to this too
    So does Trav, it's not a coincidence that he blew up massively after dating kylie

    Taylor Swift in the late 2010s was far less visible in the media than she is now & look what it's done to her career

    Nope we really don’t know what you’re talking about. You sound delusional.

    Sabrina’s just overrated trash/industry plant no one will care about next summer.

    Also not a Weeknd fan but it’s obvious he’s way bigger than Drake. Kendrick’s now ahead as well.

    Drake’s got 16B billion streams this yr Kendrick’s got 10B and Kendrick’s released way less music. If Kendrick had dropped as much music he’d crush those numbers.

    Drake’s definitely not bigger than Weeknd and in 2024 he’s not on Kendrick’s level either.

    According to @Kr0niic GNX is receiving double the daily streams of FATD 33M vs 16M on day 12.

    this was the case with taylor too until only like 2 years ago btw

    if taylor can get out of that, weeknd should be able to too

    After Hours (14 tracks) = 169k SEA
    Lover (2019) (18 tracks) = 197k SEA

    she was even doing =very similar numbers to weeknd

    Are you comparing Taylor Swift to The Weeknd?

    Wrong. He just doesn't have the juice like that when it comes to his consumption in the US. Drake is very famous but he doesn't move like a typical celeb.

    When was the last time Drake dated anyone famous? Or even claimed anyone? He rarely attends award shows/other public events most celebs attend like the Met Gala. The most you'll see him do is attend a Raptors game and even those are very few and far between these days.

    All he really does is drop his music and get out the way and it has massive motion.

    With some things, you either have it or you don't. The Weeknd pulls massive numbers on Spotify but that's about it.

    Why do Drake stans try to convince themselves that Drake moves like some mysterious underground artist? That nigga more celebrity than basically anyone

    Weeknd doesn’t do half the public s*** that Drake does

    tuesday's streams

  • Kr0niic ☘️
    Dec 5, 2024

    Day 13 is looking like 30 ish million

    filtered streams WITHOUT GNX (song) is at 28.6 million.

    So add assuming 1.3 million to it for GNX thats 30 mil. then add the filtered streams the unfiltered total prob 30.5 or 31 million for day 13

    Drake is that guy when it comes to U.S. sales, but he definitely engages in far more “celebrity” activities than you give him credit for… certainly more than The Weeknd, at the very least

    Neither Kendrick nor The Weeknd is bigger than Drake globally, let alone in the U.S

    Drake is very much a celebrity, although i agree that its not in a typical fashion at this very moment. IG/social media antics have to be factored in to that celebrity status

    Also, for the people that always theorize that Drake’s numbers must be way bigger on Apple Music because sometimes they’re not as dominant on Spotify:

    As of May 2023, Apple Music didn’t even have a SINGLE song with a billion streams. The highest streamed song on there, as of that time, was Shape of You, with 930 million streams.

    So unless every single Drake song has 900 million streams on there, I really don’t see how he’s doing such a massive difference on there compared to Spotify

    The Weeknd uses social media a lot more than Drake does. He's always posting his stats on there, something Drake rarely does, if ever.
