Billboard names Drake as the 4th greatest pop star of the 21st century

[Solo_87]

Shes never outsold them on the same year they drop an album is what I meant

If Bruno Mars or Adele and Beyonce dropped an album today, they going to sell twice as much as beyonce

Now you moving the goal post lol

Same day? Adele is outselling everyone including Rihanna, Drake, etc

The list isnt just based off of record sales

They are factoring in other things which is why Adele is outside the top 5

u discussing a nikka who actually writes maybe 70% of the time

The reference tracks say differently

4 is disrespectful for drake.

that man made hold on were going home & passionfruit

he should at the very least be top 2

only way this list is valid is if rihrih is top 1

The complete turn around of The Coli on Drake should be a case study. There were legit people on here who thought highly of Drake as a lyricist. Posters here sided with Drake over Common.

Writer or no writer, Drake was never THAT great. Still very much a Hip Hop artist with massive commercial success. We wouldn't even be entertaining a battle between he and Kendrick this past Spring/Summer if he wasn't a Hip Hop artist. This was someone considered a part of the "Big 3" of this generation.

Hold on We’re Going Home was made by Majid Jordan while they were slaving away in the OVO Sweat Tents

all that and still nothing sales wise compared to Adele, Pink, Lady Gaga, etc

Pink nor Lady Gaga sell more than Bey

they not even in the same league as Bey

 

[MJ Truth]

His writers did too

Everyone in the pop lane has writers though.

 

[CrimsonTider]

#1

 

[Rembrandt]

Also above him is Taylor , bey and Rihana

GOAT

The bottom line is she's consistently in the top lists. Even if she isn't number one. And she's been far more consistently than any of them. It's way different than people who peaked high and fell off the earth.

 

[Biscayne]

The most accurate ranking of anything Drake related ever. 4th best pop star of the century is perfect placing.

Tho, I could see why he and Rih would be interchangeable. Bey and Taylor are rightfully ahead.

when has bruno mars, lady gaga, adele or pink fell off

when has bruno mars, lady gaga, adele or pink fell off

Lady Gaga nor Pink are doing numbers. Lady Gaga's reign on top was short like leperchauns. I remember that 2008-2011 run where she was seemingly unstoppable. Then she dropped an album that did 1 million in 1 week sold at $2 a pop on Amazon. Try naming a song from it beyond the title track. She hasn't been the same since. Pink hasn't had a platinum album since 2017.

Ain’t no turn around on Drake on here. Dude was polarizing even when he was considered at his peak
