    EXACTLY.

    This is exactly why it’s laughable when people try to compare her to Michael Jackson

    Yea if they had a unique sales metric for her 4 million vs adeles 3 million it would be embarrassing.

    They only bring it up in response to people saying he’s a small artist

    Disagree they use it against Durk and lil baby and other rappers of that caliber all the time.

    Not initially, but they act like Drake songs don’t get sent to radio at all, if there was a big enough demand to hear Drake on the radio, we would hear more Drake on the radio

    Demand is still important

    Songs like Luther and NLU were incredibly popular even before the radio push

    Radio just kept them going for longer, but it didn’t create the popularity of those songs

    everyone in rap has been bragging about sales since forever. it only becomes an issue when artists they don't like start winning the numbers game

    Cause Durk and Baby fans try to little bro Youngboy like he’s not in their class.

    When you look at Drake and pop fans the main thing they use is sales. No Youngboy fan is looking up what Top did in week 32 like Drake and pop fans do

    and that song is being called out in court for payola and botting so what does that tell you.

    the billboard 100 is not there to measure the hottest songs in the country. its main purpose is marketing. radio plays still scale heavily because it lets the industry control what seems popular. this means high quality songs that don't get industry support are less likely to chart high, shortening their lifespan. streaming algorithm also affects this too. the issue is that when the scam becomes too obvious and people start noticing that they don't know or like songs in the top 20, the billboard 100 loses its legitimacy. and thats where we are rn.

    At a certain point, does this bot d***-measuring contest even matter?

    If UMG cared enough to bot the hell out of Kendrick, wouldn't they have botted Drake all those years he was their golden boy? Discrediting one's success due to botting kind of discredits the others'.

    No people bragging about sales is relatively new. The only time the actual fans cared about sales was 50 vs Kanye and that’s cause they dropped on the same day

    If UMG botted Kendrick, wouldn't they have botted Drake in the past? Pretty simple.

    He thinks billboard is unreliable, says Spotify is easily botted and they manipulate their algorithm yet he ignores all of this when it comes to Drake

    I never said it was ever ok to brag about sales. Unlike you I’m actually from the USA and grew up where it was mostly rap being listened to. We never talked about sales.

    The only time I ever remember it being a conversation was that ONE time when Kanye and 50 dropped on the same day and they both played into it

    i ignore all that because it makes the haters mad. if i'm having an actual good faith discussion, the numbers don't matter. nas is in my top 2 for a reason

    You don’t really make anyone mad. People just laugh at how delusional you come across and how you change your stances minute to minute.

    But I’m glad you can admit most of what you say on here is bs
