And this is in the internet era. Seeing Drake isnt special because we can see him online whenever we want. And they still line up and cosplay as him
And my MOM asked me about iceman this week and even looked up the songs herself on YouTube

Thriller was selling a million a week in 1983 and 1984 man
That level of popularity is in a different stratosphere from anybody active today
On May 25, 1991, Billboard made a change to the Billboard 200 Top Albums, when the magazine began using SoundScan data to tabulate the positions on the top albums chart. After decades of gathering numbers via a flawed honor system, the industry leader in deciding what was “popular” in popular music started employing accurate sales reports

Semi unrelated but album sales until the early 1990s were reported over the phone by store owners
And the conspiracy theories are about faking streams. The old numbers need to be audited lets be fr

People literally passed out when they saw MJ. The only artist that was bigger than the entire industry
Nobody, not even Drake, comes close to that
the number 1s you serve at wendys
Are Wendy’s burgers good? I had the breakfast one time and it was terrible, like the bread itself was just ugh! But I’m willing to try if someone vouches for it
The one thing I wish Drake did was pull the bullshit these other people are doing too boost sales. Aside from the Scorpion takeover Drakes done almost no bundling and physicals and have had minimal marketing and radio. Taylor Swift sold 500k if you don’t count physicals but because she had all the physicals the rules would allow she sold millions, Drake could sell a crazy amount if he wanted to
hes so petty i wish he would just do it

Billie Jean is currently the #1 most streamed song in the world, 44 years after it released, and you're saying that an audit needs to be done on Michael Jackson's numbers to see if they were accurate?
That Scorpion era was something else
God's Plan might be the one Drake smash hit that soured on me as time has passed tbh
also the op said singles not popularity
we all know michael was the most popular person ever
we talking about da mursik
so drakes #1 were fugazi but michales one week #1's are fine
4/5 of those records are
Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough
The Way You Make Me Feel
Dirty Diana
You Are Not Alone (first song to ever debut #1)
with Way You Make Me Feel and Dirty Diana and the other single I didn’t mention being 3/5 #1s from 1 album

Yes I am. 100% I am. When drakes dead and he gets his documentary the same thing will happen. But were not discussing what they did posthemously

If we're talking about the music it's even more clear that MJ is better

You're so delusional

If the numbers were fraudulent, then why did Bad's sales completely pale in comparison to Thriller's?
