Drake now has the most top 5s in billboard top 100 history. He’s overtaken the Beatles. So what’s your favourite Drake song or what ones do you know and what’s your favourite Beatles song?
My favourite Beatles track is something.
And my favourite Drake song is Nice for what  |

"I know nothing of Drake's music but suspect it may be more exciting than the vast majority of bland dullness that was The Beatles recorded output "
I listened to some just now. It seems to have more to say than John, Paul, George and Ringo |

I know and love all these songs! I’d recommend something soft to start off with for Drake. I like best I ever had! Try that  |

I have heard of Drake but I couldn’t tell you any of his songs as I am not a big music fan.I do know that when the footballer Jermaine Defoe played in the MLS I think for a team based in Montreal he had a picture taken with Drake |

I'm not aware of any of drakes work let alone a top 5 of his / theirs .... Old git syndrome perhaps?
As for a beatles fab 5... Tricky one... They have a lot of good tunes from the 2 minute pop songs to the more complex work of latter albums....as a starter..

"Back in the USSR.
I'm afraid I can't comment on Drake. I know if him but I'm not familiar with his work
He’s bigger than the Beatles!!  
So big that I have no idea what he (or she?) Sings "
He/him/his
And people lie but numbers don’t
Honestly it’s unlikely you’ve never heard his music as it’s everywhere. Especially with shops and stuff having radio and songs playing all the time. |

I saw that. I listened to some of his stuff after commenting.
I like to at least know a tiny bit about things |

I'll take your word for it Probably the type of music that goes in my ears but doesn't hang around for very long and then it's gone forever ! (Like most "music" PRODUCED in the last 10 to 15 years ! Yes I am old !! |

Thanks for your recommendation but since I was 12 its been all bout the hardcore jungle drum and bass for me, drake just wouldn't hit the spot but records are there to be broken so good luck to him |

I'm sorry to say, but both irritate me so much.
I just don't get it, how popular they both are, but then I find I feel that way about a lot of popular things, movies, series, certain foods, and wine, yuk, people too.
Either I'm miserable or not pulled in by hype |

My final comment- I don't like The Beatles but the fact that they are still being played 50 odd years after the songs were written tells you something. Most "modern" music including this Duck chap won't be played next year ! Classics were stopped being written about 10 years ago |

Yes I like the Beatles. A lot. But I think Michael Jackson buying their masters or rights to their songs and selling it on for profit has a part to play in their timelessness globally compared to other great artists. I watched an interesting video about Paul McCartney talking about it. |

Think the Beatles popularity has to be looked at in the context of the time they became so, it's a bit like people now saying the same about the model t ford as we simply weren't there at the time..
Never listened to Drake myself so can't say but do like a lot, not all of the Beatles perhaps due to my mum like a lot of women her age in the city seeing them several times in the early days then playing the 45s etc at home.. |

"Headlines
Come Together"
I might be too strung out on compliments.
Overdosed on confidence
Started not to give a fudge and stopped fearing the consequence
What a banger 
Come together is amazing too! |

"For me its
Paperback Writer
Hold on- We're going home
Hold on we’re going home is a fantastic song! I really liked that when it came out. "
Awful tune and the video was just dire!
I like a lot of drake stuff which may sound strange for someone whose ipod is full of Slipknot, the Foo's, Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit and Korn.
I love the fact most people don't even realise he's Canadian rather than American.
There's plenty of Drake on the pod too. NICE for What, God's Plan (I do love the video), as well as a fair few collaborations - Going Bad, Work, Sicko Mode & Look Alive.

My first thoughts were Charlie Drake but then I turned to Google and found the Drake
fella being referred to.
Never heard any of his music though perhaps because I am locked in the 1960s and 1970s musically. |

Music is a great example of how technology and times have changed... From how its recorded, produced, released, marketed, branded, merchandised, how when and where its listened to, purchased, shared, experienced.... As for numbers... Remember the days of record companies rushing out and buying up all the stock at those record stores that were used to establish the top 40? |

I was about to post similar. "My boomerang won't come back" was one of his biggest "hits" I believe.
This new Drake fella I couldn't name anything I'm afraid. I don't get out much |

Lol drakes music is gutter these days, I'm not going into it but ironically nothing was the same is the last decent album, most after have been fairly useless.
Kendrick lemar is the rapper holding the torch in my eyes.
Beatles, well you can pick any song to be honest and it has a story to tell |

Drake is more famous (to me) for memes
I’ve just listened to some songs and can safely say he’s not getting on my playlist - I’m sure he’s totally wounded by that
‘Something’ is just pure class and epitomes C

Think Hold On has a special place in my heart because of what was going on in my life when it came out.
I'm much more into the same stuff as you (have the tattoo to prove it too !) |

"No questions on popmaster about Drake ! Who would have thought !!
Thought you'd already made your final comment?
I changed my mind "
Oh goodie. What the world really needed was more condescending comments from people who can't accept that times change and people's interests evolve |

The Beatles- A day in a life
Drake- Hotline Bling.
Although I haven't really listened to him since a music fan friend dismissed him as a Canada's submission for Craig David clones. |

Statistically, he might have had more success than the Beatles, but who created the musical world in which he had that success? The Beatles. Without them, the whole world would be very different. They're the basis of everything in the popular music world. Elvis was big, but he didn't write his own songs. The Beatles made it the norm for acts to write their own stuff. You might not like their music, but their influence on the business is incalculable, and they're still selling huge numbers 60 years after Love Me Do. |

Of course they weren’t ‘nauseating’. Pioneers of which so much is owed by those that came after.
They are of course an easy target for some strange reason, some people think it makes them look smart to say they dislike the Beatles.
To compare Drake to the Beatles is plain daft. |

The only Drake song I know is Hotline Bling.
Not much of a Beatles fan but the best ones are usually written by George Harrison. Having said that, I love Rocky Racoon. |

It's no surprise that the likes of Drake are now beginning to eclipse The Beatles, the way we consume music now has changed drastically over the last 30 years. Plus, The Beatles are a very old band now, the fact that they held the top spot for so long is proof of what undeniably prolific song writers they were, the likes of which we may never see again on such a grand scale. I doubt Drake will still be the top in 50 years time
