    can most people name other psy songs? hes known for a few hits but his music isn't popular in general. he is obviously not an underground artist, but people still won't just listen to anything he releases like they do kanye, drake, eminem etc...

    yeah but the weeknd doesn't just have 1 hit like psy

    he has had many hits over the course of 7 years which makes him a very popular artist

    I mean yeah he's not as big as like drake but recently i think he has had more mainstream popularity than like eminem eminem just has a super dedicated fanbase

    Then the albums 0/2 with sales and quality its the worst weeknd project by a longshot. This some quality trolling by weeknd with this album for sure tho.

    It’s definitely not Weeknd’s worst project. A lotta fans and critics think it’s one of his best so this argument isn’t true

    Exactly. Weeknd stans saying it’s “oh he doesn’t care about music” and “oh physicals didn’t ship” when it’s clearly one very simple reason Gunna came out on top: better music.

    First week doesn’t even matter at all for someone like The Weeknd. Blinding Lights didn’t go No.1 until months after release

    There are clear contextual reasons as to why Gunna outsold Weeknd and anybody ignoring them is just an idiot

    Yeah word of mouth and rave reviews can really help a underdog like Gunna exceed expectations

    Also the highest charting new song from After Hours the week it dropped was In Your Eyes which charted at #14, so the fact he doesn’t have any in the Top 10 from Dawn this week isn’t shocking at all

    Thats yalls only argument its just not good, critics only d*** riding it cuz abel made them feel special by letting them hear it before anyone else, where were these same critics with good reviews for AH? We know the truth.

    No, it’s that if physical pre orders still counted towards first week Weeknd would’ve blew Gunna out the water

    It’s all good though, congrats to Gunna for the #1, but don’t be surprised when Dawn has a huge sales week in April when all of the vinyls / cassettes / CDs & other merch ships

    This never made any sense, why tf doesn’t every album from a popular artist get a high 80s score then

    the weeknd isn't really that popular besides the few hits

    it seems dishonest to say like "the few hits" when what you really mean is like a dozen hits

    like multiple per album

    dont u realize that they on even ground now

    streaming vs. streaming gunna won, which everyone thought was impossible.

    this isn't about who's stans will buy more vinyls, it's about who listened to the album more

    Idk i dont care about what fantano has to say about a f***ing album. Not even a quarter of his old fan base fw it soooo?

    The xo sxn d*** eating hoping weeknd notices them theyd never criticize wven if they thought it was bad.

    Cant pick

    ktt is all about arguing and talking about stupid things that don't matter to convince yourself that you are smarter than the people you are arguing with

    so basically they just argue a lot even if it's about stupid stuff for the rush of getting like a gotcha moment to feel good about themselves

    now i'm doing the same thing i hate music sxn im leaving

    It’s really not

    Heartless was released as a stand-alone single, and it’s way more mainstream appealing than a song like Sacrifice is right now

    The highest charting new song from After Hours the week it dropped was In Your Eyes at #14, so Sacrifice not being in the Top 10 right now is not a shock at all

    I listen to the weeknd regardless of hits or not, in fact I like Dawn FM for its lack of hits, but hes just not as popular as drake, idk what are yall arguing so hard for?
