in terms of pop/mainstream artists of all generations?
MJ
Beyonce
Prince
The Beatles
Drake*
some might argue Elvis before Drake (in terms of mainstream visibility etc), but outside of the first 4 i think Drake could be argued against a lot of the other choices imo
cuz is not a talent based convo imo, its more so about generational impact on culture and/or the music and sound of the time, how ubiquitous they are and shyt like that
If you going off numbers, then Mariah Carey, Eminem, Michael Jackson, and the Beatles are probably his peers.
He’s clearly the king of this new streaming era. I don’t know how that translates into hard sells
