Rich Flex was simply more impactful stop with the mental gymnastics lol. November 2022 wasn’t some amazing booming time for the music industry lmao streams are actually up from then

Because I was in red lobster when it dropped and saw this little white kid saying “out like a light” a couple hundred times until I just got up and left

Like one of these songs clearly does not belong

And Blinding Lights got boosted by Spotify and TikTok promo but it’s still in OPs list. What’s your point?

2023 is when the low sales and low streams started, and it’s continued until now

“Got boosted by Spotify”

It got boosted by the place where people listen to music?

Jimmy Cooks didn’t have any quotable, nobody knows the melody and I never saw anyone irl rapping it word for word so sadly it’s not a mega hit

You can do this with like any hit

“Hey that song only blew up because it was people’s favorite song!” Get real

If you weren’t being facetious I’d say you finally understand what we’re saying

Oh, that's OP? No wonder

I had that account blocked, should have known it was his alt.

The story of why “Blinding Lights” succeeded is a combination of deft songwriting and smart business planning. The Weeknd’s fame and canny use of ‘80s influences fueled its rise. But the artist also worked with hit producer Max Martin and met with Spotify and TikTok representatives early on about promoting it.

In a rarity for a single by a global superstar, it ended up being a slow burn: It ballooned on Spotify in January and February, then got an extra lift in March when it inspired a popular TikTok dance challenge.

Started from the bottom

Source? Pretty sure overall streams have still been increasing. Are you talking about some kind of percentage stat relating to hip hop and the whole pie? streams by actual numbers are still increasing I’m pretty sure it’s bigger than ever

As for “low sales” the fact you think low sales started in 2023 is suspect. You might not know s***

Yea SFTB because it’s ass

What tf is wrong with yall

“Superstar Promotes New Single”

Where’s the gotcha here?

Jimmy Cooks is still his #3 most daily played song today

I love how some users try to post that my account is an alt like some gotcha moment, the first thing I did when I made this account was tell everyone it’s an alt

Pls never quote me again

We're talking about real artists not bisexual vampire memes

Jimmy copes

He’s right we saw it in real time. The album was panned and that was the only song people liked until they took to sticky

The GOAT that the league can't let go because it'll lose its luster without him?

Thanks for saying that
