The most remarkable thing about VIEWS is also not how people are listening to VIEWS. (Millions of people are listening to VIEWS.

The most remarkable thing about VIEWS is not how many people are listening to VIEWS. First off, here’s what is not the most remarkable thing about VIEWS: That being the case, it is a little … strange, I think, that we’ve all failed to properly recognize what is, in fact, the most noteworthy - the most remarkable - thing, statistically speaking, about VIEWS’ chart dominance and Drake’s unprecedented run.Īnd what exactly is the most remarkable thing about VIEWS? Is that not remarkable? Is there a higher ceiling for him to shatter, or is he now simply left to build and scale his own skyscraper? Drake is inescapable, and in summer ’16, the media coverage devoted to VIEWS falls short only of the media coverage devoted to Donald Trump. “Drake’s Views Is Already One Of The Biggest Hip-Hop Albums Of All Time”.“Drake Is Now Officially As Popular As Michael Jackson Was During Thriller”.He’s a career artist, and he now stands among giants.

I mean, he’s probably a freak, but his success is not accidental, anomalous, or random. VIEWS is now on equal footing with freakishly huge hits: the Titanic soundtrack the Frozen soundtrack Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill Santana’s Supernatural.īut Drake is not a freak. Drake has long since passed the comparatively lightweight likes of Usher, Adele, and Eminem. Billboard tried to catalog the album’s many historic accomplishments a month ago, and today, that list seems laughably outdated. There’s no point anymore in trying to keep up with the records broken and set by Drake’s VIEWS because its legacy further swells every week.
