'DIAMANTE' outstreamed your album globally this week with zero promotion and only one major guest appearance. Sideways alone outperformed every song on your track list in the US and Worldwide.
You are a local artist, Gordo is not. Remember that.
Drake is the Malcolm x of white people 😂 and
@Akademiks
make sure you post
@GordoSZN
first week since drake thought he did a thing with making him drop on the same day as me 😂
I’ve come to realize a lot of you on here really want Drake fans to share the same beliefs as you when it comes to his position in music / beefs. If you “won” why are you so bothered that we still prefer him over anyone else? Why do you care about what we think? It’s so weird.
@ReignMcs
It’s like I’m in another universe listening to this. He was never fully accepted yet his legacy is cemented forever, especially after obliterating Kendra. Aging like fine wine.
@Splittahhh
I truly believe he didn’t return to the booth over subjective criticism. It’s very clear to me that something shifted listening to SH3. Am certain Drake could sense what was coming.
If Drake appealed to losers that will never amount to anything in life besides denouncing him on twitter he would have been left in the 2010’s to rot. Longevity and maintaining a consistent output is what separates him from everyone else. His work ethic is simply unparalleled.
1. Loud and wrong
2. The cUltuRe reminds us 24/7 that Drake isn’t “black” so what position would he be in to speak on black struggles?
Save the pseudo intellectual BS. You don’t want the truth b/c it will crush your victim mentality. He has ZERO obligation to address anything.
Not Like Us is a diss track addressing how a rapper actively participates in the culture while ignoring black struggles. They're loud with the costume, but silent with the bigger picture.
The song wasn't about Drake being mixed.
Drake with his ACTUAL peers.
The Greats. Legends of the music industry.
His insane consistency and massive fan support gave him longevity that’s simply unheard of for a rapper of this generation.
One of one. Young Angel.
The most successful male artist of the 21st Century!
Drake surpasses Billy Joel and becomes the 10th Best-Selling Male Solo Artist of All Time.
— The rapper has shifted 152.7M equivalent album units (CSPC) since the beginning of his fifteen-year career, solidifying his legacy amongst the greatest artists of all time and beyond.
Didn’t Gunna outsell his last album first week and block him from
#1
? The same guy that made a deluxe compilation album b/c his studio albums weren’t charting? Spotify just removed The Highlights from the global chart b/c he was manipulating the charts by double counting streams

This happened once in 2017 when Dot bundled his album b/c projections had him selling less than Drake (mixtape btw)
Mind you ML didn’t even have a full week of tracking and still outstreamed: (384.8M; 257K) vs (340.6M; 227K)
Also, Drake was the best selling rapper of the year💀
Building Year-End: 2024
• Top Billboard 200 Rap Artist: Drake
• Top Billboard 200 Rap Album: For All The Dogs
Also, Drake is the best selling male artist Worldwide this year so far. Add that to your data collection, or are those big #’s not suited for your agenda Mr Hip Hop?
Drake has 0 albums in the Top 50 this week for the first time since August 2021
151 weeks in a row - the streak has ended
Kendrick currently has 2 in the Top 50
@DrakeDirect_
Hmm..
Honestly, Nevermind is more cohesive as an album, whereas Certified Lover Boy has better individual songs and holds Drake’s best song this decade
Honestly, Nevermind - 9.5/10
Certified Lover Boy - 8/10
ALBUM SALES
All SEVEN Beyonce album sales combined : 90M
SFG, TML, TC,NWTS,IYRTITL, WATTBA, views, more life, scorpion, dark demo tapes, honestly nevermind, for all the dogs: 89M (11 albums)
For the 1,638th consecutive day Drake has been the best selling rapper globally across all platforms
I listen to Drake daily because I have the ability to think independently and stand by my beliefs without falling to false narratives. A certain demographic should take note ❤️
For the first time this decade there were no Drake projects in the top 10 most streamed rap albums yesterday on Apple Music or Spotify ❌💿
Are you still listening to his music like you used to?
Criticizing Drake’s approach to releasing music is so pathetic. Most of the criticism he receives for dropping more than one would like isn’t even remotely legitimate when it’s all out of hatred. Why should Drake limit himself to make people that aren’t even his fans feel better?
This clearly reached the wrong audience because I really woke up to a lot of BS 🤣
It’s FUCK the entities that are plotting to eliminate Drake and it’s FUCK the “culture” that embraces division within itself at the drop of a fucking hat due to their own inferiority complex.
@eldoradospet
@spotify_data
@Beyonce
Did you not read what you typed before posting? You were clearly attacking Beyonce* all b/c I asked a simple question that didn’t warrant your unnecessary remark, and I never stated otherwise for you to even make that reply. Weirdo.
If someone has to lie on your name to drive a certain narrative about you just know that they see your potential in this world. These guys been plotting on Drake for over a decade, and Kendra most DEFINITELY has hidden hands pulling his strings to make this “elimination” happen🪨
I’ve always looked at Drake as an Enigma.
To reach this level of success as a 21st Century artist in such a relatively short time span is a feat only him and Taylor Swift could achieve. A testament to his connection he has built with his audience through our universal language.
Drake surpasses Phil Collins and becomes the 9th Best-Selling Male Solo Artist of All Time.
— He is the youngest artist amongst the Top 10 best-selling male solo artists of all time and the only 21st Century artist in the Top 15, shifting 153.4M equivalent album units WW (CSPC).
Drake has more streams in 5 months than Future, Metro and Kendrick did in a single year

The audacity to put people like Doja, Cardi and Megan in the same conversation as her is absolutely insane. These female rappers aren’t seeing Nicki on her worst day

@yeat1_
Chronically online stans should know he’s doing this organically with streams only but they’ll ignore it because he doesn’t have mass buying, payola or autoplay to drag 😭💀
@MegYuup
They were definitely living under a rock in 2016
Views sold 1.04M first week with 852K of those sales being PURE, no streams. The only male artist this century to debut with over 1M units first week too btw. He’s very capable of dominating both albums and singles on said charts📈

No, that was bitterness and had nothing to do with my question. You went straight to being weird instead of saying “Zero”, or better yet, nothing at all! Keep your petty fan behavior out of my mentions weirdo

@GordoSZN
on Live asking everyone to share their Top 3 songs on ‘DIAMANTE’ so he has a better idea of which music videos to drop!
Everyone go comment on his recent IG post 📲
I feel like Drake is a massive fan of Christipher Nolan like me. Tenet Vibes through the roof. I need to know if his favorite film of all time is Interstellar
@BoyTweetsWorld_
Drake and that man had a falling out well before he even came out to the public. Y’all get on here just to lie on people you don’t like. Need I remind you he was dissing Drake before they even knew each other, but you wouldn’t get the attention w/o bringing up orientation, right?
Destiny’s Child is a separate entity from 'Beyoncé' as a solo artist. No publication combines said sales, just like MJ is separate from The Jacksons. Regardless, Drake will likely surpass her combined total in 2024.
Y’all love to ostracize destiny’s child’s stats with beyoncés. Destinys child is apart of beyoncés career, why put them apart?
TOTAL SALES
Beyoncé : 150M
Drake : 142M

's '2014 Forest Hills Drive' has now spent 500 total weeks on the

It's the third rap studio album in history to reach the milestone, after

's 'Take Care.'
@AntonyRaphael18
@HipHopAllDayy
It is a multi-disc album with a runtime of 135 minutes. It was counted twice once 5 million pure copies of the album were sold.
@CIRC0L0C0
Drake will have two albums over 500 weeks and three over 400 weeks come January. He is way more consistent than Kendrick who only has two albums charting 200 weeks or more
More albums = consistency and he’s a rapper and that debuted in 2010 so that’s more embarrassing for her
Verified music publications/sources most definitely separate solo acts from groups
No correlation with her solo career starting in 2003
drake has more albums than DC+Beyonce for starters.
people don’t put apart michael and jackson 5 stats secondly
and beyonce did more than half the work in DC

@Drake
You have done it again. Constantly raising the bar for us all and doing it flawlessly. I’d say I’m surprised, but I know who you are. I’ve seen it up close and personal. Drake, you make me so proud, and I love you.
@__Peac3__
Are you going to go after every Drake fan that doesn’t give a fuck about how you feel until everyone agrees w/ you? Obsessed and extremely weird behavior. You want me to change my beliefs about Drake to accommodate yours and that’s never going to happen. Go outside.
It's a big city. I can't be everywhere.
They don't know where I am.
We have a signal, now. For when i'm needed.
But when that light hits the sky.
It's not just a call.
It's a warning. To them.
Fear... is a tool.
They think I'm hiding in the shadows. But I am the shadows.
Woke up to a certain demographic being insecure / proving my point how people are bothered that Drake fans aren’t moved by obsessed weirdos trying to change their beliefs. You lot care so much b/c you’re not secure with yourselves and you need us to validate your views on a “win”
@HipHopNumbers
Either you don’t know the process of removing music from streaming platforms or it just doesn’t fit your narrative. J. Cole can’t just remove a song at any given time. It was definitely his distributor (interscope) that removed it at the end of the tracking week.
Unfortunately the culture can’t comprehend that feelings ≠ facts. Embracing logic becomes foreign to them even when talking with an actual founder of a streaming company
One last time: Drake signed a licensing deal with UMG. He controls the CREATIVE DIRECTION of his music and WHEN he releases it. But he can’t drop music outside the deal—the agreement is exclusive until the ‘Term’ ends. This is standard for ALL licensing deals.
@HipHopNumbers
Drake is also the only rapper to chart 5 or more albums simultaneously on this week’s chart. Something no other rapper has achieved all decade, but I know those numbers scare you
Building Year-End: 2024
• Top Billboard 200 Rap Artist: Drake
• Top Billboard 200 Rap Album: For All The Dogs
Also, Drake is the best selling male artist Worldwide this year so far. Add that to your data collection, or are those big #’s not suited for your agenda Mr Hip Hop?
65M+ album units from Spotify streams.
No Apple Music. No digital/physical sales.
Only two rappers this century have sold over 60M albums WW and that’s Drake x Kanye (both have sold over 100M album units).
Drake literally outsold your favorite rappers from one platform ALONE.

@Drake
is now less than 2 billion from becoming the first artist in history to earn 100 billion streams on Spotify.
He's the most streamed artist of all-time on the platform (across all credits).
@aubreyslawyer
Unfortunately the aunt jemima community cannot comprehend how this model works within the music industry so facts become futile in the name of slandering Drake
“Drake’s last multi week
#1
was in 2018”
Mind you this is their first ever multi week
#1
and the entire song is about a purported male pop star… the nerve of you lot 🤣
Weeks at
#1
on the Hot 100:
Drake — 56
Metro + Future + Kendrick — 9
This is why everyone needs to do their part and wrap this shit up quick fast. Kendrick wasn’t on my mind this decade til Like That. He had his little moment now it’s time to go back into hiding for eternity. The one sided beef + using Drake for your rollouts is old and lame af.
I will admit this after having a Kendrick bias:
If Drake sent direct SHOTS at KDOT on a feature... and Kendrick responded with 2 back to back disses calling him out.... we'd fasho be killing Drake for his silence. I can 100% admit that. 🤝🏾
