    It got so bad people like me aren't even considered "real" fans because we get bullied out for not forcing ourselves to like his new pop s***. I literally listen to Trilogy and Kiss Land religiously but thats not enough. His new stuff attracted a lot of toxic fans so I'm glad they're in shambles because they're a****** elitists

    this just most humans in general when someone doesn't like what they like.

    it's not just "weeknd stans"

    it's not just "drake stans"

    it's not just "ye stans"

    it's not just "frank stans"

    s*** is sad. all individualism gone

    it’s no coincidence the only other memorable hit that year was Life Is Good. Which also dropped before the pandemic.

    rereading your og post i replied to i realize there was other stuff in there but i'm just gonna say i was off-base because the above was all i was responding to lol i'd have to be following the full convo to understand your point.

    People often revere LIG as the last hit song before the pandemic happened lol. That’s why I think it had some momentum in 2020.
    2020 was such a bad year, not only the pandemic it was all the social injustice issues going on. BL was the perfect storm, not only it came out before the pandemic it had the retro 80s sound where people can take a trip back to memory lane. At the time, the now sucked.

    Yes BL is successful I’m not knocking that, but it being “Highest charting single oat” is nice stat but in no way does it put it in the category of Thriller.

    If it was a normal year most likely BL would’ve had more competition. Who knows, maybe Rihanna would’ve dropped or something. After all people were begging for her drop music. In a pandemic and the issues 2020 why would she even bother?

    It’s so funny bro I’ve said these same things during AH era, and was labeled Weeknds biggest hater

    weeknd didnt even take a risk, he made another pop album and it just didnt connect

    you cant force popularity

    You just don’t get it, he said he was depressed over Rick Astley beats, pop radio would never play it it’s too dark and edgy. Real music

    Don’t watch Stranger Things

    All I know is this is the music Abel has always wanted to make and he’s unique enough to put his own spin on it to separate his sound from his pop peers

    But literally how is 80s pop sound safer to make in 2022 when streaming and sales charts are dominated by rap, rnb and modern pop lmao

    crine 80s is the zeitgeist nowadays, everyone from dua lipa to bruno mars uses 80s sounds to get an easy hit

    ever heard of a little show called Stranger things?

    meanwhile trap is actually selling less and less and is less culturally prevalent

    Lmao yeah the fans that arent stuck in the earlt 2010s and want abel to get depressed and addicted to coke again so he can make darker music again are the elitist and toxic ones

    What he say

  • funniest thing about this thread is sales is so irrelevant, but weeknd made himself a pop star so these headlines haunt him, and cos thats his brand his fans have to defend him

    if man actually experimented like he used to there would be no discussion, but he just wants the superbowl sound
