    Both matter. But not counting features is clearly to diminish rap.

    Not really, a ton of artists do features nowadays. I’ve never really understand why features count towards an artist’s #1s on the Hot 100 either, it’s not their song

    features can literally be on the song longer than the main artist. its just showing who label paid for the promo essentially

    jw do you think coleads should not count?

    That’s very rarely the case, most features are either doing a hook or a quick verse

    And yes I don’t really think Cole’s should count for him because he wouldn’t have that #1 if it wasn’t a Drake lead song

    I mean a lot of Drake and Future features for example they send the artist and a hook and a verse and the artist just adds a verse.

    Then theres producer albums like DJ khaled where everyone is listed as a feature.

    Theres also songs with no hook a feature does the hook and the lead artist and the other features have anequal length verse.

    Just seems like semantics to not count features.

    so should $$$4U not count as one of drakes projects?

    *Give their features attention sure give them revenue that goes without saying, but counting them in these type of lists to highlight how impressive lead artists are, it’s fair to distinguish between artists who are damn near #1 without counting endless feature appearances and artists who are only #1 if you count them

    That’s specifically what I’m saying

    "without counting endless feature appearances "

    but why isn't this argument used against Taylor just spamming Spotify with songs? she has damn 526 songs on Spotify lol. I've only ever seen this song # argument used against Drake/a handful of other artists, never Taylor.

    Does it not diminish her total streams? She very almost has more songs on Spotify (526) than the 2nd/3rd highest streamed artists combined lol. 353 + 198 (551)

    I'v even seen someone on KTT today comparing Taylor to MJ lol. She's a way smaller musician than people realise, but a bigger celebrity than people think

    I honestly think Bad Bunny's music is twice as popular as Taylor's. He just doesn't have the celeb power to sell endless bundles.

    I don’t think it’s fair that Drake gets criticized for that so we both agree on that first point 100%. They hating on the black man who’s dominating with damn near every release they did it with the god Michael (Michael in theaters out now T Mobile $5 Tuesday’s near you). I hope that’s not too woke for you

    But that’s still just conversation, I’m talking about official lists celebrating a lead artist that’s all. And Taylor deserves it if we’re keeping it pure

    Bad Bunny’s music is twice as popular in the real world. But there’s gonna be a U.S. advantage that needs to be overcome somehow and Taylor again has that in a way that will be reflected in lead streams and sales

    And I think Bad Bunny is gonna overtake her soon enough anyway in just lead artist streams - this same list. It’s inevitable

    Yeah that's fair. I think even in the US, bad bunny is starting to eat her up. The advantage doesn't really exist anymore

    Give it a year and I think it wont be arguable at all in the US. Taylor will no longer be #1, or #2. It'll be #1 Morgan, #2 Bad Bunny #3 Taylor

    I think Drake’s music is bigger than Taylor’s music as well, but Taylor is the bigger celeb obviously

    I gotta disagree tbh, Taylor has already taken over a 3rd generation of young girls. she’s in a different stratosphere imo

    Ariana made a smart move with Wicked

    her music is literally just coming of age music for women dawg, most girls are still bumping Taylor they just not outwardly swifties. But she’s well liked around all the women I talk to and their children are huge fans now like they were lol
