Weeknd sales thread drinking game?
Take a shot every time someone mentions bundles or lollipops
the weeknd didn't release any physicals/merch for this album also.
Good win for Gunna but know what it really is
This wasn't even a traditional roll out
Still though
Weeknd fan base is miles larger than Gunna
Weeknd is also established artist with a lot under his belt
smoke this for me lil brother!

Makes a lot of sense. That's Drake's 5th time selling as much as 600K first week. Nothing new.
Does drake have a song within the past 3 years as big as blinding lights?
Do you not see the flaw in your logic
Someone with 85M monthly listeners in the prime of his career should not have a floor this low. That can’t be disputed
You’re being dense weeknd is an ARTIST before being a popstar
He has shown yall literally half a decade of selling crazy with great albums (AH) and mid albums (Starboy/BBTM)
He literally released this album as a passion project.
Every musician has a floor
Kanye’s is 200k with a ceiling of 300k
Abels is 150k with a ceiling of 400k plus
This is not remotely out of common with any artist in his tier at all. I mean drake stabilizes around 400-500k but he also hasn’t dropped albums as good the ones abel and ye have dropped in the last 5 years
Am i missing something? Even outside of hip hop with other pop stars like bieber (who’s number 1 in the world) his range for his last 3 albums has been 160k to 500k
Abel is not an outlier here lmao
It was 6th best selling album last week. Best selling rap album of 2021 with only 4 months of sales. Why are they still listening 4 months later if it lacks "quality"?
I love CLB, I'm just saying drake is the only artist that's albums are appointment listening for every demographic
ariana grande, ed sheeran, weeknd are considered huge artists but they don't have every gender, age and race listening to their albums first week

grocery store stimulus?
lol drake could get him one of those tomorrow if he want. He be bored as hell in the palace lol

Y’all keep going to this like it helps his case. If he has the biggest singles of 2020 he should be blowing WUNNA out the water based off the fan base gained.
this a drake thread now?
water is wet
Still though
Weeknd fan base is miles larger than Gunna

this album was lowkey a surprise release

That obviously doesn't matter. The Weeknd does and his album right after the album with that song that couldn't debut with up to 150K units.

Summer Walker outsold both, black women won
she outsold ed sheeran, ariana grande, and justin bieber too.
queen
People are sick of the Weeknd bro
I really doubt a third album of overexposure would do more than 120k, could easily do less than 100k
The fact we’re debating 100k ballpark is my point!
He’s on a different league than gunna lmao. This isn’t indicative of anything yall never learned cause, effect and correlation in school?
this album was lowkey a surprise release
that actually works in an artist favor
Does drake have a song within the past 3 years as big as blinding lights?
he already did that with a lil ditty called Hold On, Were Going Home

They think they have one still bringing up that song. They'll be bringing up that song for the rest of his career the same way they still bring up House of Balloons as his best project 10 years later.
To each their own. The Weeknd’s album will last longer than Gunna’s tbh Gunna just has Pushin P as a meme and catchy joint that I f*** with but The Weeknd made a classic.
Y’all just throw that classic word at everything lmao
this album was lowkey a surprise release
Ehh not really
He should’ve sold 250k minimum
he already did that with a lil ditty called Hold On, Were Going Home
dude said a little ditty lmfaooooo
