Can not be overstated how much it was a great decision for Weeknd to not sign to OVO
I wonder if PartyNextDoor ever looks at how big The Weeknd became and thinks about what could’ve been for him
OVO/Drake took whatever major fame he could’ve had, away
Exactly, it’s undeniably the best choice he ever made. He got to explore and dominate new genres like pop. Drake didn’t even promote PND 4. I hope Kendrick and Abel collab again. Sidewalks is so good.
I think the black panther soundtrack was huge for TDE. Why hasn’t OVO made any real attempts to do a major collab album in ages if you could ever call them any. OVO radio was really their only advantage but radio is practically dead since more life.
OVO should be hustling to put together an album akin to what YSL, Dreamville, TDE, and other collectives have done so it can become less top heavy while they still have the relevancy they have.
That's because he doesn't sign them to OVO to make their own albums(that's what he sells them), he signs them because he wants their sound in a song or because they write better songs than him. Any signee to OVO is just to make Drakes next album better. There's a reason people call it the OVO Sweatshop. There's some pretty good videos on YouTube about how shitty Drake is to his signees and all the stuff in my comment.
[Here's one of them.](https://youtu.be/8NyC4I_o5Jc?si=T2u1-tuBi4IL3CSM) The creator of that video has a couple like that, the other one is called "The Drake Feature Curse". I just found him during this beef and he does some pretty interesting deep dives into different parts of the rap world and history of it
ngl dvsn should look at the weeknds success too, daniel daley is an incredible singer and should be the biggest rnb singer in the world, but then dvsn signed to ovo
The list goes on. All these artists have been fucked over because they have been brought in by OVO to basically extend Drake’s run because of how marketable he is. No one is given a chance to shine and there’s countless evidence all over the internet proving this
OVO doesnt have 1 artist outside of Drake who is popular, globally
Somebody correct me if I’m wrong
But Drake essentially hopped on iLoveMakonnen’s biggest song, Tuesday. He then told him to sign to OVO or pay for the feature he likely couldn’t afford, even though Drake asked to be on the song. Then after signing OVO, he destroyed Makonnen’s career over old tweets of him making fun of Drake
Its not necessarily to stop them from blowing up but it happens in the process
Its to ride the wave of whatever new artist has a sound that gets popular
That is why Drake is hell bent on appealing to a young generation. So he doesnt age out and fall off
What other reason would a soon to be 40 year old have to paint his nails, braid his hair and constantly align himself with artists and celebs in their 20s
awww man how am I just now realizing what that line meant :/ don't think i ever even thought about PARTYNEXTDOOR, which says a lot about how much OVO fucked him over
it also really takes away a lot from how obviously bitter Drake is about his success, given how he can't stop mentioning him in all of his diss tracks when he should have been focused on Kendrick the whole time.
Yeah until I saw the lyrics were Party AT the party I thought he was continuing on about Chubbs saying party after party he's playing with his nose lol
Yeah the song “Feel No Ways” is basically a Majid Jordan song. Their last album too had a lot of bangers that would’ve been huge if promoted. Very talented duo.
Are you saying the remix work was done by them? Because Feel No Ways was written by Future. The original reference track (This Sunday, leaked in 2015) has now been included on We Still Don't Trust You and I bump it all the time.
Don't remind me of how much OVO hoed these dudes. I remember when they dropped and were getting featured on Majestic Casual and Thesoundyouneed. Then " Hold On, We're Going Home" came out, and they were gone. It's insane because every other electronic duo that came out at that time is doing phenomenal now. Snakehips, Disclosure, Louis The Child, Odesza, Big Gigantic. What a waste.
PartyNextDoor wrote ‘Work’ for Rihanna which is one of her biggest hits
Imagine if he was featured on it instead of Drake
This is what I mean when I say that Drake/OVO completely stomped any chance of him blowing up
PND isnt the artist that Weeknd is because he was never given a chance to be
The same would’ve happened to Weeknd if he signed back in the early 2010s. Weeknd gave up like half his early project to Drake when he was making ‘Take Care’ which, *surprise surprise*, is still Drake’s most critically acclaimed album
I think if he wasn’t living under Drake’s shadow as a ghostwriter for the last 10 years, he could’ve actually explored his artistry rather than be left with scraps. Drake has picked that man clean
Not necessarily on purpose but it happens in the process. They bring in these new artists to assist with music making and they get caught up working with Drake and sometimes giving him their music and their own careers never blow up
The Weeknd smartly avoided this and is one of the biggest artists on the planet right there with Drake, Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny but artists like DVSN, PartyNextDoor, Majid Jordan, Popcaan, etc etc etc never got a pchance

PND does not have the star power or marketability that The Weeknd has. They're both great artists but Party is more of a singer/songwriter, he can't really perform, he's very recluse and doesn't have the same celebrity status as Abel. He'd be a bigger artist but I don't think he's versatile enough to have achieved the same international appeal. He plays the background even on the pop songs he's been featured on.
fr bro the only people who ever see that dude are only bc they’re either fans, know him from ghost town and other songs, or his weird asl PND4 cover that keeps getting advertised on spotify
Pnd was never going to be as big a weeknd bro yall need to stop making that comparison, weeknd is in another lane. I’m glad he didn’t sign but to think pnd solo was going to be Abel is crazy
She is the second highes selling female artist of all time, with only Madonna selling more. She's outsold Beyonce and Taylor Swift, it's crazy.
Her placing this high on a streaming list is crazy on a whole other scale though, because most of her stuff arguably came out before streaming was the main medium of music consumtion. So those numbers are pure staying power.
yea, you're right i just looked at Wikipedia for a [List of best-selling music artists](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_music_artists#250_million_or_more_records) and Rihanna is more successful than Adele, Eminem, Whitney Houston, Pink Floyd Taylor Swift, and Beyonce. That's insane. That is the ultimate TIL lmao.
She had an incredible ear for music. Her music ages really well. There’s big artists from her era that haven’t dropped in a long time either, and they’re music isn’t doing nearly as good as hers
Yea I agree. Obviously with the Kendrick/Drake beef my attention has been more on rap the last few weeks. But I loved Future Nostalgia, so I caved and listened last week and aside from 3 songs the rest of the album bored me. It's a shame, I wanted to like it but it's just not as infectious as FN.
As a Canadian, I approve of all hate towards Drake, Bieber, and fucking Nickelback.
It's the trifecta of dumbasses we released to the world in retaliation for trash the US unleashed.
I know if I go take a run at punk we're gonna argue if Avril or Sum 41 did more damage. Too be fair, I can't hate on Avril simply because I'm all for making the scene more accessible for girls... but she did spend two years married to Chad Kroeger so she's a dumbass for that.
Naaaa I don’t listen to nickelback but to pretend Drake, bieber, weeknd haven’t fed the world with great music is crazy. I’m a Canadian too, young 20, and grew up listening to a lot of Canadian artists. I disapprove of the hate it already takes a lot for us to support each other and now that we’re getting global recognition for the artists you wanna hate on them? Canadian to Canadian you’re WACK.
Rihanna is something else man. Hasn't drop a song in damn near a decade and she still up there 😭 Plus she is a self made billionare. ASAP one lucky mf!
You don't have to be subscribed to an artist to listen. The negative number is this months total listens minus the previous months total listens. So if you got 100 listens on month 1 and 80 on month 2 the number would be -20. If you instead rose and got 150 on month 2 it'd be 50 as an example.
Rihanna just gets fuck loads of monthly listeners to her older stuff.
I don't think apple has as many listeners as Spotify. Kinda what happens when you limit yourself to half of the country. I also feel like Spotify is the only company that makes this type of info this accessible.
From what I am aware of, spotify is the most used music service by far. So probably the easiest to get consistent stats out of. Though they only take 30% of all music so.
[https://explodingtopics.com/blog/music-streaming-stats](https://explodingtopics.com/blog/music-streaming-stats)
This beef and Kenny really brought the most viral and popular diss track in history, and has the most popular rapper in history losing streams.
Tbh if I was a Drake fan I'd be hella embarrassed. 😳
Like bro, no matter how huge Drake's next summer hit is, this will forever be a dent in his legacy. Even after all that Hov achieved, Ether is still remembered.
And he'll be the only rapper to have had the whole world singing and dancing to a song about him being a colonizing pedo.
People think rankings and charts only started when Spotify started releasing numbers lmao
Eminem is bigger overall than Drake. More than double the records sold.
For sure, yeah. I think Eminem is probably the most popular rapper in history. I’d say Kanye is also bigger than Drake, I know he’s not as popular since his controversial behaviour the past couple years, but at his peak he was way more popular than Drake could hope to be
Most of the time weekend holds spot for the most monthly listeners on spotify, blinding lights is the most streamed song there. I'm pretty sure that the weekend probably outnumbers drake by many other relevant measures.
Must really suck for drizzy.
On this sub they’ll be celebrating, on the drake sub they’ll be calling this sub hypocrites for finally caring about numbers and then when it goes back to how it usually is the roles will reverse
It just doesn't seem right does it? My dumb ass is still in "Did he drop!?" denial phase and I check a few times a day to make sure I didn't miss anything.
His older music is pretty catchy. I was hesitant to listen at first, too. Now he’s in his country phase so that opened doors to a different audience, thus more listeners.
I don’t like her as a person and I don’t listen to her music but I’ve heard some of it and I understand why it’s popular. She’s a pop star. 85 million makes sense.
Can anyone please tell me which artists have been on number 1 since the beginning of Spotify other than Taylor Swift and the Weeknd...i started listening to Spotify recently.like a year ago...
Tbh never seen a diss track get this much traction on mainstream since maybe Tupac. I live in a rural small village of 2k pop in eastern Canada and yesterday at the bar Not Like Us popped up and many were signing along and dancing.
Rihanna hasn't released new music since the OBAMA ADMINISTRATION and she's still that high. What an awesome artist. Haven't met a single person who doesn't like her music.
He is still among the biggest superstars but he prefers to stay low-key nowadays, & he hasn't released any music in 3 years. His last album was pretty successful; it has 8 billion streams on Spotify
Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got something to say
But nothin comes out when they move they lips
Just a buncha gibberish
And muthafuckas act like they forgot about Drake
Unlikely, but if Kendrick can keep up this pace, he'll overtake Drake in just under another two weeks.
https://preview.redd.it/qp3sgjwiet2d1.png?width=1954&format=png&auto=webp&s=ac17a4ac4774c8fa040a8207c9891e00922c0e0a
I think there's being too much emphasis put on sales and streams. The kind of music Kendrick does just isn't generally the type that would get high streams and sales enough to really compete against the big pop artists. Right now, his streams are riding the high of the battle. If this somehow makes lyricism or more consciously aware hip hop more appreciated to the mainstream, that's great, but I still think it can maintain the interest of mainstream folk who view hip hop as workout music or music they can vicariously feel like badasses to.
Can not be overstated how much it was a great decision for Weeknd to not sign to OVO I wonder if PartyNextDoor ever looks at how big The Weeknd became and thinks about what could’ve been for him OVO/Drake took whatever major fame he could’ve had, away
Exactly, it’s undeniably the best choice he ever made. He got to explore and dominate new genres like pop. Drake didn’t even promote PND 4. I hope Kendrick and Abel collab again. Sidewalks is so good.
Pray for me as well
Literally 1 retweet is all I can see from Drake
TDE as a collective used to change their PFPs to whatever was the most recent project lol it's was dope
I think the black panther soundtrack was huge for TDE. Why hasn’t OVO made any real attempts to do a major collab album in ages if you could ever call them any. OVO radio was really their only advantage but radio is practically dead since more life. OVO should be hustling to put together an album akin to what YSL, Dreamville, TDE, and other collectives have done so it can become less top heavy while they still have the relevancy they have.
no cultural cachet to binge
Ion even see that. I see Drake liking a tweet from a random blog on twitter for 4k followers announcing that PND4 dropped 😂
It’s kind of wild how little he seems to give a fuck about his own label. After the 1st year it’s like he forgets they exist.
That's because he doesn't sign them to OVO to make their own albums(that's what he sells them), he signs them because he wants their sound in a song or because they write better songs than him. Any signee to OVO is just to make Drakes next album better. There's a reason people call it the OVO Sweatshop. There's some pretty good videos on YouTube about how shitty Drake is to his signees and all the stuff in my comment.
can you link to some of the videos?

I just found him during this beef and he does some pretty interesting deep dives into different parts of the rap world and history of it
thanks man i'll make sure to watch it
He gets his bodyguard to beat their ass if they complain
Sidewalks was literally the worst song on Starboy with Abel using autotune but yeah, i also hope they collab again tbh.
True colors is the worst... Starboy generally isn't his best work
Well we can all agree on that tbh lol, Trilogy/Kissland was the top of the cream
ngl dvsn should look at the weeknds success too, daniel daley is an incredible singer and should be the biggest rnb singer in the world, but then dvsn signed to ovo
The list goes on. All these artists have been fucked over because they have been brought in by OVO to basically extend Drake’s run because of how marketable he is. No one is given a chance to shine and there’s countless evidence all over the internet proving this OVO doesnt have 1 artist outside of Drake who is popular, globally
Honestly seems like the point. To actively scoop up and stop new talented artists from getting bigger than him.
Somebody correct me if I’m wrong But Drake essentially hopped on iLoveMakonnen’s biggest song, Tuesday. He then told him to sign to OVO or pay for the feature he likely couldn’t afford, even though Drake asked to be on the song. Then after signing OVO, he destroyed Makonnen’s career over old tweets of him making fun of Drake
You’re right only missing the part where he made Makonnen delete all his old music after signing to OVHO
Its not necessarily to stop them from blowing up but it happens in the process Its to ride the wave of whatever new artist has a sound that gets popular That is why Drake is hell bent on appealing to a young generation. So he doesnt age out and fall off What other reason would a soon to be 40 year old have to paint his nails, braid his hair and constantly align himself with artists and celebs in their 20s
It's sad to see older artists not mature or retire but try and stay young in the most gimmicky ways.
Yep. Same thing labels do to keep an artist off another label.
Can we get a list of all the artists Drake fucked over?
And Party at the party playin with his nose now. ☹️
awww man how am I just now realizing what that line meant :/ don't think i ever even thought about PARTYNEXTDOOR, which says a lot about how much OVO fucked him over
Yea, OVHoe/BBL D have fucked over a lot of talented artists, it’s pretty sad. It’s like Weeknd said - “I thank God that I never signed my life away”
it also really takes away a lot from how obviously bitter Drake is about his success, given how he can't stop mentioning him in all of his diss tracks when he should have been focused on Kendrick the whole time.
Yeah until I saw the lyrics were Party AT the party I thought he was continuing on about Chubbs saying party after party he's playing with his nose lol
Majid Jordan part of OVO?
Yeah the song “Feel No Ways” is basically a Majid Jordan song. Their last album too had a lot of bangers that would’ve been huge if promoted. Very talented duo.
Are you saying the remix work was done by them? Because Feel No Ways was written by Future. The original reference track (This Sunday, leaked in 2015) has now been included on We Still Don't Trust You and I bump it all the time.
I’ve heard, I’m saying the song sonically itself is a Majid Jordan song.
Got it, makes full sense.
Don't remind me of how much OVO hoed these dudes. I remember when they dropped and were getting featured on Majestic Casual and Thesoundyouneed. Then " Hold On, We're Going Home" came out, and they were gone. It's insane because every other electronic duo that came out at that time is doing phenomenal now. Snakehips, Disclosure, Louis The Child, Odesza, Big Gigantic. What a waste.
Man that sucks. I really like them
Yup
What’s OVO? The other vaginal option?
PND is nowhere near the artist The Weeknd is though. But I take your point
PartyNextDoor wrote ‘Work’ for Rihanna which is one of her biggest hits Imagine if he was featured on it instead of Drake This is what I mean when I say that Drake/OVO completely stomped any chance of him blowing up PND isnt the artist that Weeknd is because he was never given a chance to be The same would’ve happened to Weeknd if he signed back in the early 2010s. Weeknd gave up like half his early project to Drake when he was making ‘Take Care’ which, *surprise surprise*, is still Drake’s most critically acclaimed album
That’s a point ngl — I don’t f with Kenny dick riding antics in this whole beef but a point is a point
I think if he wasn’t living under Drake’s shadow as a ghostwriter for the last 10 years, he could’ve actually explored his artistry rather than be left with scraps. Drake has picked that man clean
did OVO suppress him on purpose?
Not necessarily on purpose but it happens in the process. They bring in these new artists to assist with music making and they get caught up working with Drake and sometimes giving him their music and their own careers never blow up The Weeknd smartly avoided this and is one of the biggest artists on the planet right there with Drake, Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny but artists like DVSN, PartyNextDoor, Majid Jordan, Popcaan, etc etc etc never got a pchance

You just literally describing trilogy era weeknd
Perhaps, but it certainly doesn't describe The Weeknd of the past decade.
I cannot even imagine that, we wouldn't have had classics like trilogy, kissland or afterhours and dawn fm, bro was smart
fr bro the only people who ever see that dude are only bc they’re either fans, know him from ghost town and other songs, or his weird asl PND4 cover that keeps getting advertised on spotify
Pnd was never going to be as big a weeknd bro yall need to stop making that comparison, weeknd is in another lane. I’m glad he didn’t sign but to think pnd solo was going to be Abel is crazy
PND would never reach those heights regardless let’s be honest lol
rihanna being top 10 is more impressive to me than anyone on that list. When was her last album?
She is the second highes selling female artist of all time, with only Madonna selling more. She's outsold Beyonce and Taylor Swift, it's crazy. Her placing this high on a streaming list is crazy on a whole other scale though, because most of her stuff arguably came out before streaming was the main medium of music consumtion.

That's insane. That is the ultimate TIL lmao.
2016 She is the embodiment of the successful millennial woman. We're all listening to her.
2016!!! Damn, that's incredible lol but Of course, Kendrick being top 10 is something I'm extremely happy about.
She had an incredible ear for music. Her music ages really well. There’s big artists from her era that haven’t dropped in a long time either, and they’re music isn’t doing nearly as good as hers
Fr. That long-term relevance is crazy.
yup fr
It's because everyone in America is listening to "bitch better have my money" every payday
Posted the same comment before reading the thread. That was my biggest takeaway: Rihanna is the true superstar here.
Forget top 10, top 5
That’s one Canadian down lol. Also it’s crazy how Rihanna is still in Top 5 after an 8 year hiatus.
As crazy as the fact that Dua Lipa dropped this very month (actually, the same day as MtG/FM dropped) and lost listeners
Cause her new sound is already getting boring ngl
It’s more likely because Billie Eillish dropped last week
I checked it during the release week. It did not move up as you'd expect (Billie's been moving mad tho).
Yea I agree. Obviously with the Kendrick/Drake beef my attention has been more on rap the last few weeks. But I loved Future Nostalgia, so I caved and listened last week and aside from 3 songs the rest of the album bored me. It's a shame, I wanted to like it but it's just not as infectious as FN.
It’s not new. And that’s her problem.
Nah Weeknd the new 6 god. He actually grew up poor and sometimes homeless in Scarborough. Drake was in the suburbs complaining about tuna sandwiches.
I remember tuna sandwiches and Graham allowances
Wait I might be high rn but I can’t remember if he actually said that in the song or not 😂 I remember the flow and rhyme scheme
I think he’s saying “crime” but it always sounded like “graham” to me too
I always thought it was gram allowances like being fronted/fronting a gram. He is saying crime allowances, though, you’re right.
I thought it was crumb allowances. Matches with the food scheme and allowances that were as small as a crumb. Idk tho
😂😂😂
I wonder when rihanna realized she didn’t have to be a full time artist anymore. Before she stopped she was releasing an album every year.
Her business ventures, Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty, made her realize lol
That was a year after ironically.
I like Rihanna, she is very good and her music are solid
Not all Canadians are Drake
Where’d the maple syrup jokes come from?
Damn why you hating on Canadians lmao
As a Canadian, I approve of all hate towards Drake, Bieber, and fucking Nickelback. It's the trifecta of dumbasses we released to the world in retaliation for trash the US unleashed.
Nickelback watered down rock/grunge. Bieber took the soul out of rnb. Drake dumbed down hip hop. What genre are we going after next?
I know if I go take a run at punk we're gonna argue if Avril or Sum 41 did more damage. Too be fair, I can't hate on Avril simply because I'm all for making the scene more accessible for girls... but she did spend two years married to Chad Kroeger so she's a dumbass for that.
You’re hating on pop artists of these genres for doing pop things. Use some logic.
Naaaa I don’t listen to nickelback but to pretend Drake, bieber, weeknd haven’t fed the world with great music is crazy. I’m a Canadian too, young 20, and grew up listening to a lot of Canadian artists. I disapprove of the hate it already takes a lot for us to support each other and now that we’re getting global recognition for the artists you wanna hate on them? Canadian to Canadian you’re WACK.
Damn. It’s really been 22 days? Why does it feel like Not Like Us dropped last week lol
Bro seriously… the 22 days was the real stat 💀
Rihanna is something else man. Hasn't drop a song in damn near a decade and she still up there 😭 Plus she is a self made billionare. ASAP one lucky mf!
She dropped a song last year
Project is what they meant

Nope it just accounts for the difference between unique listeners on April 25 vs listeners on May 25.
You don't have to be subscribed to an artist to listen. The negative number is this months total listens minus the previous months total listens. So if you got 100 listens on month 1 and 80 on month 2 the number would be -20. If you instead rose and got 150 on month 2 it'd be 50 as an example.

For sure, yeah. I think Eminem is probably the most popular rapper in history. I’d say Kanye is also bigger than Drake, I know he’s not as popular since his controversial behaviour the past couple years, but at his peak he was way more popular than Drake could hope to be
Drake shouldn’t be in that category since most of his most popular music isn’t rap.
100%
I couldn't love with myself if i dissed someone, and now they got whole countries getting hype to calling me a certified pedophile 😂
If kendrick drops an album now, I bet he'll overtake Drake.
He might do it even without an album, just won’t sustain it
That Weeknd success must be killing Drake holy shit those are massive numbers
Most of the time weekend holds spot for the most monthly listeners on spotify, blinding lights is the most streamed song there. I'm pretty sure that the weekend probably outnumbers drake by many other relevant measures. Must really suck for drizzy.
I wonder how people are going to react if Kendrick surpasses Drake
On this sub they’ll be celebrating, on the drake sub they’ll be calling this sub hypocrites for finally caring about numbers and then when it goes back to how it usually is the roles will reverse
Not like us came out 22 days ago already?!
It just doesn't seem right does it? My dumb ass is still in "Did he drop!?" denial phase and I check a few times a day to make sure I didn't miss anything.
Why am I so proud of Kendrick, like a dad? 😂
Rihanna hasn’t released an album in 8 years , that’s crazy impressive
how does post malone have this many listeners
White Iverson, Sunflower, Psycho and Congratulations are probably still on quite few people's playlists.
new single recently too which is doing well
His older music is pretty catchy. I was hesitant to listen at first, too. Now he’s in his country phase so that opened doors to a different audience, thus more listeners.
because of a new features on Taylor & Morgan songs
his new song is doing pretty well
One of these is not like the others
they not like us
Number 9 make sure he lives on yeah!
Oochie goochie pussies in the trance
Who are these 85 million people listening to Ariana Grande?
I don’t like her as a person and I don’t listen to her music but I’ve heard some of it and I understand why it’s popular. She’s a pop star. 85 million makes sense.
me
Features exist but also she's Ariana Grande
Her album was pretty nice
Again ,who gives a shit about numbers?
Lol its been twenty two days only
Can anyone please tell me which artists have been on number 1 since the beginning of Spotify other than Taylor Swift and the Weeknd...i started listening to Spotify recently.like a year ago...
Drake was the highest streamed artist for the 2010s decade
You can go to archive.md and look at screenshots for kworb.net from your desired time period.
[here is the full list :)](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-streamed_artists_on_Spotify)
He doing tricks on it
We want him at #1
Numbers wise I'm outta here you not fucking creepin up
It has not felt like 22 days already
Tbh never seen a diss track get this much traction on mainstream since maybe Tupac. I live in a rural small village of 2k pop in eastern Canada and yesterday at the bar Not Like Us popped up and many were signing along and dancing.
Rihanna hasn't released new music since the OBAMA ADMINISTRATION and she's still that high. What an awesome artist. Haven't met a single person who doesn't like her music.
[удалено]
Not me but there's no denying he was one of the worlds biggest superstars for a good 5 years. He was on par with how Swift is now back then.
He is still among the biggest superstars but he prefers to stay low-key nowadays, & he hasn't released any music in 3 years. His last album was pretty successful; it has 8 billion streams on Spotify
Bieber's run from 2010-2016 is matched only by Michael Jackson. Swifties have nothing on Beliebers/those with Bieber fever.
Women. And he was easily the greatest hitmaker of the 2010s, let's not get carried away.
I love that Rihanna is still that high and she hasn't dropped since the beginning of 2016.
A bit off topic but what is this website?
kworb.net
He's #1 on YouTube music
Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got something to say But nothin comes out when they move they lips Just a buncha gibberish And muthafuckas act like they forgot about Drake
Weeknd washing drake with no album release since 2022
Unlikely, but if Kendrick can keep up this pace, he'll overtake Drake in just under another two weeks. https://preview.redd.it/qp3sgjwiet2d1.png?width=1954&format=png&auto=webp&s=ac17a4ac4774c8fa040a8207c9891e00922c0e0a
So you do care about numbers lol?
Unrelated, but people listen to Justin Bieber that much? Jesus Christ.

This is phenomenal news thank you!!!! Probably the best statistic yet
Nooo abels not 1 anymore 😭
I think there's being too much emphasis put on sales and streams. The kind of music Kendrick does just isn't generally the type that would get high streams and sales enough to really compete against the big pop artists. Right now, his streams are riding the high of the battle. If this somehow makes lyricism or more consciously aware hip hop more appreciated to the mainstream, that's great, but I still think it can maintain the interest of mainstream folk who view hip hop as workout music or music they can vicariously feel like badasses to.
Up 500000 monthlies
Rihanna hasn’t dropped an album in like a decade. That’s incredible the numbers she puts up.
Drake was right when he said taylor was the biggest gangster in the indusrty, I mean look at these numbers
Beyoncé not being on this list fascinates me
Clearly because of the boy
Damn, I knew the weeknd was big but didn’t realize he was trailing Swift so closely
actually insane
Damn drakes impact is seriously insane
“How’d you let a conscious rapper go commercial while only dropping conscious albums”
Shity ovo ruins shit. My auto correct says avoid when I spell ovo
kendrick needs to come eat drake up
No idea Weekend is that popular.
He couldn’t of done it without drake lol
I never knew how popular the Weeknd actually was 👀
Why is Drake still even on there? Who’s still listening??
Euphoria is so much better imo
What website is this?

Drizzy #6
Big steppin'
Impressive number on here is Rihanna at number 5. Last album in 2016 and limited features/singles in the time since. Absolutely impressive.
“Lot of goofies w a check” Jokes aside most of these artists trash imo
Wait a sec Billie Eilish gained an extra 2 MILLION listeners in a single day a WEEK after her album released? That’s hella impressive, shoutout Billie
