Billboard creates pure chaos between Drake and Michael Jackson fans! The comparison of the two artists is nothing short of a “Thriller” as stans leave Blood on the Dance Floor all over social media.

After comparing chart numbers, Billboard sparks the debate on whether Drake is a bigger artist in 2021 than Michael Jackson and The Beatles were in their primes. According to Billboard, five tracks from Drake’s Certified Lover Boy occupy the top five spots on Hot 100 which ties him with The Beatles, and a total of nine CLB tracks in the top ten shatters Michael Jackson’s record.

Is Drake in 2021 is now as big as Michael Jackson or The Beatles at their peaks? Let’s look at some of the factors behind Drake’s incredible chart bow.https://t.co/CE6oM8pN5D

Fans quickly took to Twitter to join in on the debate. Most questioned the audacity of such a comparison, while others agreed that numbers don’t lie!

There will never be a star bigger than Michael Jackson. You can talk about how absurd Drake’s streaming numbers are to try to refute this but that’s exactly the reason why. The music star market is saturated now. Stars are too accessible now. The mystique is gone.

I’m happy to see Michael Jackson & Drake trending, I’m glad everyone is realizing statistically he is the modern day Michael Jackson. He has more hits than the Beatles and have been the biggest artist of the past 10 years
