    It isn't proof of s***. When he took a 6-month break in 2017, he returned with God's Plan and smashed every streaming record and ended up completely dominating that year like he'd been gone for years. CLB hasn't even been out for a year and there's already a clear hunger for new Drake music.

    Here's another way to look at it: the fact that Drake never takes a break and is still the most dominant/successful rapper speaks to his power. The rap game can't survive him being away for 5 years.

    it shouldn’t be a question that 6 months is vastly different from 5 yrs imo

    If Bad Bunny can’t crack 300k, then I don’t know

    When was the last time a Spanish speaking artist sold a lot during the streaming era?
    I think Bad Bunny is the first unless I’m wrong

    Up to #5 now. Bad Bunny/Morgan Wallen songs are also rising.

    Which is why I’m surprised he had a better first day on apple than future. I wonder if it was close and are they talking global

    He's the first and it'll remain that way for a good while.

    Doesn't matter. No other rapper can remain as consistent as Drake while maintaining the same level of dominance. That's your answer for if his hype will be massive if he takes a break.

    If Drake disappeared completely for even a year, it'd be 5,000,000 viral tweets begging him to come back.

    and how does albums sold make sense now if they’re equating it to a certain # of total streams = 1 album

    because a certain number of streams is equivalent to someone buying the album...
