Nah numbers show he dominated them year in year out.
Now my favorite album from that period is Good Kid Mad city, but the stats say Drake was still on top.

My peers are a talented group
But even if you take all their statistics and carry the two
Even if you rounded up the numbers and rounded the troops
There's still nothin' they could really do
Carter 4 did as much as Take Care and WTT combined. I also believe Eminem MMLP2 dominated the year it dropped.
But yea, who is running shyt and sales are not fully synonymous, such as Post Malone or Macklamore.

Been running this shyt for over 10 years straight. Not just relevant RUNNING this shyt

The baton was very much being passed from 2009-11 from Wayne to Drake. Ross had his run in between that period as well.
After Take Care is when he was fully in his position as number one cause Thank Me Later certainly didn't do it.

whats amazing is how productive this dude is when hes not chasing radio
I get that this is a lost tapes type of album or mixtape of you want, but calling More Life or IYRTITL a playlist and mixtape respectively is just weird.
If shyt is sold like an album, promoted like an album, financed like an album, movies for promo, hell even Apple promos. How can it be anything other than an album? Just because the singles aren't targeting both 7 year old kids and 59 year old women listening to radio? Nah.

I have a similar thing with dude. His singles and hits are anthem like, but then I tend to never really replay the albums after they drop.
His formula for music is like a HR hitter. He's not going for singles, he's either missing me with some of the music or hitting it out the park. It's definitely weird, but his impact and longevity is undeniable at this point.

They promoted More Life as a "playlist" before it ever dropped. As nonsensical as that may be, it's what they called it
shyt was different with If You're Reading This... though cause that shyt fell out of the sky and after it dropped they seemingly assessed the initial response before deciding what to call it. This was right when the divide between albums and mixtapes was really becoming blurred (and when artists were redefining failed "debut albums" as "retail mixtapes") so it was a strategic move to label If You're Reading This a mixtape since that didn't come with the same expectations
