    This would be a great starting post for your thread about measuring impact and cultural moments of music.

    For a discussion about numbers you pretty much posted a whole lot of nothing. And in typical Fader fashion, you lied.

    Not Like Us MV 335M Views (Posted 10 Months ago)
    Birds of a Feather MV 379M Views (Posted 7 months ago)

    All of these words just to be wrong.

    Not Like Us surpassed 100M views in one month:

    BIRDS OF A FEATHER was just hitting 106M after two months:

    I thought you said only 2024 performance mattered in this conversation?

    Ok. 2024 Year-end Billboard 200:

    HMHAS: #11
    GNX: OUT

    Yeah because GNX dropped 30 days before the year’s end

    It still doubled its first week stream count

    And because of it, he'll likely have a bigger 2025 than Billie.

    2025. Not 2024.

    Honestly not bad since that’s including hotel

    Kinda f***ed but it’s my understanding the US dollar stretches further in those countries so I figure I can make a reasonable vacation out of it vs somewhere like Spain

    solid, i'd go to medellin or argentina show instead because gonna be more lit but peru/chile fire too

    One day you will learn that these conversations are not about spreadsheets, but it’s hilarious because Kendrick didn’t even drop his album until late in the year and his numbers still rivaled Billie’s

    Billie had a bigger year than Kendrick in 2024? Where's her Superbowl halftime show? I must not have saw it.

    You're basing who had the biggest 2024 from one (1) song?...

    HMHAS the album already moved 2M units the week GNX dropped, and that's just in the US lol. GNX dropped too late in the year for Kenny to have a bigger year than Billie.

    Kendrick was topping year end lists before GNX even dropped...

    I see people are choosing to have amnesia over how huge the impact of NLU was already.

    You’re arguing with a racist kpop and country fan who doesn’t even listen to rap

    Kendrick Superbowl

    Not familiar with how sports seasons work I see. They don't pick the performer the year of the performance. They need time to prepare and rehearse

    Kendrick's 2024 performance got him the 2025 Superbowl halftime show. Not Billie tho.

    The show gave him some great looks for 2025.
    Being selected as the performer has nothing to do with how big an artist is.

    "He’s had an incredible year, very deserving of the attention,” Perez explained. “The Grammys also acknowledged that. That’s part of the consideration."

    They wanted a popular act and picked Kenny.

    Not sure what this has to do with who had a bigger year between him and Billie.
