    Weeknd top 10 songs are more iconic than any one else’s since Michael Jackson for male artists.

    Blinding Lights fair enough, the stats support an argument maybe being made for that alone. But that AND 9 other songs in an overall top 10???? No way

    I dont agree with this. Even the QM references were changed and added on a lot. I feel like thats one of his talents. Take an idea and make it better

    QM was done wrong imo he should've helped on other Drake albums too

    Three of these projects are not better than Take Care and 90% of Drake fans would agree with that

    And they’re wrong!

    If you weren’t in the studio shut the f*** up
    You just making stuff up at this point

    Why when I say something i need to be in the studio but y’all can say how it went down

    How is it more impactful? Define impact? We must have different understandings. I’m asking genuinely.

    Is Alright the most impactful song of our lifetime because it was an anthem for generational social movement?

    Abel playing stadiums doesn't mean his music is impactful. Harry Styles/Billie Eilish will probably play stadiums on their next tours. Doesn't make their music more impactful than Drake's. Just means they have enough fans to sell out stadiums.

    Impact is something that transcends acclaim/sales.

    I'm not saying Abel doesn't have any impact. I'm just saying Drake is more impactful as an artist.

    According to QM himself Drake stopped using his ideas after IYRTITL. Only one that Drake liked post IYRTITL was Rico and that was the last song they did cause of Meek situation. But even without Meek, Drake wasnt rocking with it like that apparently

    Well there was 10 bands which wasn’t really changed but just added on to. I just get the feeling that was the case for Shot For Me

    You do realize The Weeknd released a Greatest Hits collection that was in the Top 10 for about a year right?

    I don’t get where we get the half narrative from anyway . House of balloons already stacked that s*** would’ve been 4-5 more songs not to mention the upcoming Thurs and EOS . Take Care got 5 more songs from 19 songs, so what? It could’ve been replaced with equally as good songs from the same era

    I said the exact same thing lol.

    This would’ve been true around 2016 but I think at this point both of their discographies have reached an equal level of impact

    False. Bubblegum pop Abel is just popular music. Abel was most impactful the year he dropped those 3 mixtapes.

    "Since Michael Jackson" = 2009, I think he's saying

    The list of male artists since MJ with at least ten iconic songs on the level of Abel’s most iconic ten is very short
