Drake is on his decline out. 

3 studio albums in the space of a year was a terrible choice on his end, especially coming off of scorpion era.
 

He should’ve just kept HN & marketed this project as a collab-mixtape 

[ChrisTheLoner]

Drake's music is trash and he's local asf 

 

Taylor on the other hand makes qualitea music and is global asf 

[MardinBeksloy]

I can’t believe i live through ATRL calling Drake local and Taylor global  

[Trainwreck]

See when you're a GLOBAL LEGEND anything is possible  

[hallucinate]

we need midnights to spend another week at #1 though 

[aesthetic bih]

So he delayed the album to be the #1 streamed, only for Tay to overtake again 2 days later

Taylor Swift at her global peak went #1 across 25 markets while Drake at his peak barely passed half the countries.

 

Is Drake still more global?

[Six]

Never thought I’d see the day Taylor Swift outselling Drake and it’s not even close …. I’m in shambles … I’m so proud of my girl Swifties keep winning 

[Cute]

she sneezed on the hit and the hit got bigger 

[Protocol]

'Midnights' is going to end up the biggest album globally since 'When We All Fall Asleep Where Do We Go'. It's literally days away from surpassing the global units of her last album 'Evermore'.

 

On the other hand, Drake is declining, 'Honestly Nevermind' was an almost 80% drop from 'Certified Lover Boy' and he's had to lean on collaborating with another artist for hype for this new project. He still has a massive audience but the signs of wear are starting to show. Everything he releases isn't guaranteed to smash anymore. 

 

They are the #1 female and male artist of that late 2000s generation of stars. In five years it will be interesting to see where they both are. Taylor will probably still be absolutely massive. But who knows about Drake...

[Jude]

Drake is pretty local. Not surprised.

Not you thinking Drake needed 21 Savage to create hype for his next album. Don't speak on this man or his career if you don't know anything about it. Focus on your pop girlie discussions. You people always expose yourselves with your Drake discussions.

[Obsession]

Drake fell off and hasn't been worth listening to since Views/Scorpion at best, and people are starting to see that now.
