this may seem like a weird comparison, but please consider
- both released in 2011
- both sad, breakup anthems
- both were overshadowed by bigger hits at the time (Rolling in the Deep, The Motto, Take Care)
- both have gone on to become the biggest songs on each album (Marvins Room is debatable but its second to Take Care on Spotify by a small amount and i'd guess it has been bigger in the past year)
- both from fan favourite albums
- both are each artists' best song
i'm rocking with Someone Like You but its close

"Marvins Room" remains one of my favorite all time Drake songs (and I have many).
"Someone Like You" is my least favorite of Adele four Hot 100 #1's.

Marvins Room is great in theory but I don't love listening through the whole thing.

Someone Like You because I enjoyed the covers of Marvin's Room more than the original. JoJo's version hits the soul differently.

Both are top 3 from each artist's discography and also two of the best songs of the decade. However, I prefer "Someone Like You". It's more instant and I love how it does so much while being so simple.

"Someone Like You" wins. The only "Marvin's Room" I use is JoJo's.

Both are really great but Someone Like You wins this for me.
