May 8, 2022·editedmangotfluDrake only started releasing music on YT with CLB I think? he never used to put his music on there except music videos and even music videos he did barely any from like 2014-2018, probably less than 10 (not including fts)
US artists used to avoid releasing on YT because it means they make less money
Not 100% sure but he dropped his previous albums too but only for YouTube Premium members or something

Bad Bunny being bigger on YouTube doesn't mean he's bigger than Drake globally, when will you get this?

ragedsycokillerX 100pre was dropped in 2018. This man doing numbers like this with a Spanish only album in America just 4 years into his career is reason enough to start doing Drake number comparisons.
No its not lmao
Dude hasn’t even touched Thank me later numbers multiple albums in - May 8, 2022·3 replies
Bad Bunny's dominance is impressive but it's owed a lot in part to Spotify growing a LOT in latin america in recent years, they've gone insane in the last 3~ years with their marketing there. To the point that they've dropped the ball in the US and let Apple Music take over there.
On @thegreatdivine 's point about countries not counting the same, I do think it's stupid how 1 ad stream = 1 premium stream. Same with the price differences. Why should some guy in a poor country of the world paying $3 listening to a Drake song count the same as some dude paying $12? or even worse a person listening on Spotify for free with ads counting the same as 1 paying customer stream.
that's why billboard/riaa weights free streams as 0.3 of a premium one. but Spotify doesn't do that. over the next few years we'll probably see a lot of Latin artists completely dominate these global streaming number stats just because obviously there's a much bigger audience of people

These niggas just can’t avoid trying to bring drake up in these arguments lmao.
Like they don’t know by now to just stop trying to compare every new popping artist to drake
They should try to use j cole as the benchmark or something - May 8, 2022
Using Drake is the equivalent to saying every new basketball player is the next jordan or lebron

Pretty sure they will start doing promo again for US Spotify once they're done with Latin/Asian countries. I don't even get why so many rap listeners are on AM currently

All i've been saying is that Drake and Bad Bunny are comparable globally, and the youtube numbers are just one part of it not the whole argument

They used to pay for a lot of rap exclusives back in the day, for example if i remember right, Compton, Views and Coloring Book were exclusive for some time in AM

Is it really that deep
Y'all are so weird
Why you care. Charts are supposed to be a measure of what's popular and what people are listening to. People in poor countries have so much less disposable income to spend on music. It doesn't mean they shouldn't count or be counted for less?? A $3 in Colombia is way more of the average person's wage there than $12 in US.

But fr was that seriously a way of saying Bad Bunny's streams in Latin America should count for less in Spotify charts than Drake streams in the US?
Y'all are f***ed up. 1. It's not that deep. 2. Do you realise just how much the economic disparity is between these countries? So their streams count for less because of that? Because they're poor? Such a dumb ass long post if that what u was tryna basically say. I mean that's literally what u did say. Got me heated

Well I get it that USA charts are the most "important" cause they create the industry, but I remember a lot of users are not from US exactly lol.

Wtf? A stream is a stream bro. You rly think it's ok for artists to chart more based on how rich their fanbase is rather than how many people are actually listening?
Horrible take

There’s only about 40-50 million Spanish speakers in the US compared to 300 million English speakers so you gotta multiply Bad Bunny’s numbers by about 6 to be fair
