I just supplied an objective metric by which Kanye does indeed top Jay Z. I'm not saying that Kanye is superior to Jay Z in every single way, I don't believe that at all. For one thing Jay Z has a lot more money than Kanye.
....But he's not as popular as Kanye, sorry.
*Wiz Khalifa voice* Hold up, hold up, hold up. I get that page is convenient for your arguement but I still disagree.
That page is only for singles. Not albums. Also Jay-Z's commercial peak from was 96-2001 which was before the ubiquity of (legal) digitial downloads.
Jay has 12 solo albums(excluding 2 with R. Kelly and 1 with Kayne). Per the RIAA sales on his wiki page he's sold about 25.1 million(I rounded down). Kayne's solo LP's have scanned about 13 million.
Single downloads aren't a better criterion of rapper popularity than albums sales. Let's keep it 100: that's your subjective opinion of an objective metric.
If that chart is to be taken as Gospel, Taylor Swfit is the most popular musician of all time?? More so than the Beetles, Michael Jackson, Aerosmith, etc?
