Base on these stats, I think TSwift deserved it more:

I'm not surprised by this. Billboard loves Drake

I’m lowkey okay with this, but also kinda not

Drake has made lots of hit songs, but almost all of them are quickly forgotten. Very few people bother to remember old songs of his. The only song of his that comes close to being considered a classic is “Find Your Love”, ‘cause it’s the only old song of his that I hear every once and a while on radio. “Best I Ever Had“, “Hold On, We’re Going Home”, “Marvin’s Room”, and “Take Care” had the potential to become classics, but they’re as forgotten as his newest hits. He’s the Rod Stewart or Barry Manilow of our generation.

I think Taylor Swift deserves it. She had massive albums, huge tours, award winning music videos which were ICONIC, she won 2 album of the years and she made massive impact and headlines. 

Drake would definitely win if there was a male category but for all artists, Taylor’s impact is just something else. Drake is #2 for sure but Taylor should be #1

You forgot Hotline Bling

It makes sense, he's stayed on top of the music scene for an oolong time and has only had minimal pushback. His album Views was a HUGE album, and it's still pretty popular so many years later.

[Daylight Jokers 14,958]

I don't think he's that big of an artist outside US. The only song of his that was overplayed (and probably the only one that actually made it to the radio) here in my country is Hotline Bling. Taylor/Adele deserve that title more.

[PartySick 155,314]

Drake and Taylor really are the only choices that make sense for Billboard to choose. They're easily the most commercially successful and least problematic pop stars around.

Don't Matter to Me, the only Drake song I listen to, is a bop

I would say Adele deserved it but she wasn't a constant presence like those two.

He's the biggest in The UK/Netherlands.. Non stop on the radio. Drake been running hiphop/pop for a very long time.

Makes no sense considering Adele has sold the most albums and probably records altogether too!
