Getting into Bad Bunny because of course when we're talking about the third most popular artists in the world, especially for the year of 2024, he only gave us four tracks in 2024, I believe. Let me see, one, two, three, three tracks in 2024. But counting this one, which is what we're talking about today, it's technically four for the year of 2024. for. So L club, which probably not how you pronounce it. You know, it's probably some other way you pronounce it. But hey, I don't speak that language. So I don't know what the little apostrophe above the U is. You know what I'm saying? I don't even know if it's an apostrophe. But it's something. So excuse my ignorance. But we just want to call it L club for today, right? That track is out on all DSPs. And I think one of the more genius ideas I've heard in the past two days was from Parks,

from the Joe Budden podcast with Bad Bunny or Bad Bunny's last album being released in October 13th, 2023. And then of course, Drake has been dropping every single year. But for this year, I don't think he dropped a solo album. Yeah. So he didn't drop at all in 2024, which can you even believe it? Like, it don't even seem feasible that Drake could not drop an album in one year. but he actually did not drop an entire project in 2024.

Parks from the Joe Budding podcast brought up an idea that Drake and Bad Bunny should make a collab project for 2025. Now, he didn't put a year on it, but I am. That's what I'm doing. Because when I'm looking at this list, as far as the top global artists of 2024, they could pool what Kendrick and Future and Metro, and the weekend and AASAP and Rick Ross, I mean, the Avengers basically did against Drake, pulled together to try to compete for that number one spot because analytically speaking,

Taylor Swift is just dominating all these musicians. I mean, it's not even close. Like, she's giving belt to, you know what, as far as numbers and statistics. And to clarify it even further, go to Analytic Dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio because right now I basically have

the top 10 art is globally up. So that being said, as you can tell, Taylor Swift is number one. I wish they would show the total amount of streams just to show you how far ahead she is as far as the pack. So number two is the weekend. He's not collabing with Drake, right? He could make a collab album with Bad Bunny, but I don't think he would ever. Well, he's never going to collab with Drake unless they make like an Ontario album.

And be like, you know, we're doing this for our country, which in that kind of, case i could see a the week a weekend and drake album because technically both of the entourage's are really close which you know it's very spooky when you start to get into certain happenings that were illegal as far as what happened towards drake's house and the connections between ovi and exo but that's all i'm gonna say i'm not glad so you know let the police put their puzzle pieces together anyways um so yeah they're not collabing right but then number three and number four you see bad bunny and drake now they could pull a hip-hop version of what Kendrick and Future did against Taylor Swift and basically make a collab album and try to dominate the entire year of 2025.

Because another tidbit that I wanted to let y'all know is that Taylor Swift just has no mercy when it comes to showcasing how way more popular she is than any other musician. Kendrick Lamar dropped GNX and the whole world was celebrating right this man sold $324,000 first week sales they was like yeah go Kendrick

number one album right second week tell me why Taylor put out vinals and she sold around 400,000 it wasn't even like first week sale it was just some remix of a vinyl and she sold that that amount right so when people are looking at that

they're thinking to themselves why would Taylor do that Like is Taylor trying to set like a precedent that whenever a popular artist drops, she's going to drop after them to let them know, you can never mess with me on your best day? Like, that's basically what she did to Kendrick. Because even though it wasn't on his first week, it was basically showcasing that,

hey, I can drop whenever I want to and do bigger numbers than the guy that you, that y'all are saying is the best in hip-hop right now, right? So, um, here it is right here. So, was it seven? weeks ago it wasn't seven weeks ago because she basically made an announcement for this uh let's see april november i don't know if she took it down but she put out vinals right and uh trying to see if she because i don't want to spend too much because we're trying to talk about bad but bad bunny but

this definitely ties in because somebody got team up to take out taylor i ain't going to lie to you like everybody do it to drake when he number one so now we got to do it to taylor he know me equality right so anyways um taylor swift basically trying to see what she sold taylor swift let me see vinyl sales um you're talking about her being a most stream artist in the world which everybody knows that i mean it wasn't even close so anyways um yeah i can't find it i'm not just going to spend all this time trying to find it because basically Kendrick put out GNX Taylor Swift came back out and sold her vinales. Oh, yeah, here we go.

Okay. So Taylor Swift's errors book, there you go. So this is from variety. Taylor Swift's errors book, Error's tour book, sales are reported 814,000 copies in two days, right? And basically she bundled that with the album because you can do that, right? If you put it in, if you order it and you give the label. as far as billboard um enough time ahead of time they were counted towards your your album sales so that's why she outsold kendrick by a landslide but it's still an accomplishment because getting

somebody to purchase something i think is harder to getting somebody just to stream your music it takes 1400 to 1500 streams to equal one sale so if you have 814 000 hard copies that you sold in two days it's way more impressive so anyways so yeah i was just just letting y'all know that Taylor Swift is just out here just completely, putting belt to, you know what, on every single musician. And that's why, to tie this back in, Bad Bunny and Drake need to do a collab album, because we're talking about equality, you know?

I'm tired of Drake being ganged up on because he's been number one for so long. Now it's time for Taylor Swift to get ganged up on because, boy, is the number's not even close. Like, the number's not close. So we need Bad Bunny, Drake, collab album, vinyl, don't forget the vinyl because we don't care if it leaks, we need to sell a lot, right? Because

of hip hop, I don't know what it is about the genre. But let's just say, we invented a lot of things when it comes to streaming because of our use of illegal methods when it came to pirating certain songs. So that's why people don't, well, that's why hip hop artists don't

do vinyl's way before the album releases because then their music would just get leaked. I don't know why, but hey, just we got the statistics to back it up you know it's just sad day history so anyways i don't want to spend too much time on this just want to let you know that bad bunnies track l club is out right now in all dsps is basically afro puerto rican plena i don't know what that means but the song is about uh exploring long introspective and uh bad bunny's thoughts about an ex partner so you know just

relationship type bars so with that being said click my link tree in my bio let me know one of my social medias. What do you think about a possible Bad Bunny and Drake album to dethrone Taylor Swift? And even if it's not to dethrone Taylor Swift, what do y'all think about the possibility of

a Drake and Bad Bunny collab album for 2025?
