BBHMM outcharted and sold more than all of them combined probably

Okay...that's nice? Cool beans. Loyal was still bigger than it

And American Oxygen is still a bigger flop than all of them. But that has nothing to do with what I said. Just like this doesn't.

Nobody outside of the US and maybe the UK knows what a Hotline Bing is. That song was literally a meme, did it even sell 2M?

I would take Rihanna's career catalog of hit songs over Beysic's tbh.

that's literally half a decade

That's not even the point,

You can't say someone who's sold 200 million tracks worldwide using a local rapper/whatever for hits, it's just not realistic

Hotline Bling being bigger than Diamonds.
It's not even bigger than Stay

Kind of reminds me when the Hive said Flawless was a big hit because "I woke up like dis" was on a mug

Not the point. We're talking about why "Work" is doing well in America.

Diamonds was literally so massive. Hotline Bling can't hold a candle.

Nicki wanted Anaconda to be a big feminist anthem so badly. Now it's forgotten like the entire era.

Hotline Bling came and went very quickly, I feel.

[Gui Blackout]

Hotline Bling was local

Drake moved more albums in his most recent first week with a mixtape. Digital only. Surprise release. In the streaming era.

And it was nearly double Rihanna's best opening week with a proper album released on Black Friday and promoted extensively.

Y'all need to stop trying it.

Drake is clearly the bigger artist.

FourFiveSeconds was bigger than Hotline Bling.

Ke$hit won her lawsuit against Dr.Puke?

[FAME.]

Anyway am not about to continue to go back and forth with some deluded souls who are seriously trying to debate that Diamonds was bigger than ****ing Hotline Bling

Yall can bask in yall delusions on your own. Let me go run to the store.

Beyoncé had a front-loaded album, Meth had a front-loaded career
