Someone make the new thread

I did!

No one was interested bc it didn’t fit the narrative

It doesn't matter that he dropped a different version of Take My Breath on the album. The version of the song that charted still counts as a top 10 single on the album and the units it moved count towards the album total now, especially seeing as he didn't rename the song and it still keeps most of it's original composition.

That Walt Disney dude is really pushing P

And baby

Megastar fresh off a big ass song + SB performance + a top selling critically acclaimed album vs residential YSL trap artist

Where were these excuses when After Hours was doing it's numbers?

Baby hasn't dropped yet so we still have to wait and see.

There’s probably about 6 that could do this

The excuses in this thread are mind-blowing.

if a single drake feature is enough to take out a whole weeknd album there's a problem

Gunna fans just obsess over sales and beating weeknd so they can delude themselves into thinking gunna isn’t generic and is actually a talented artist. When REALLY is very generic, picks S*** beats, and has forgettable lyrics.

this is bait

My turn did 100k 2nd week and still doing 20k to this day so i feel comfortable including him even with different rules

But only 2 have done so recently so those are the only 2 I'm counting for now.

a terrible song, at that

They said it with their whole chest, too, not recognizing the power they're assigning to Drake with that statement.

Kanye and Cole must’ve done it

If Weeknd drops a After Hours type album we not having this conversation

Good point but gotta see how he does post-bundles. I believe he can do it again but I've gotta see how his new album does first.

Weeknd's accolades will get brought up and gassed (rightfully so too, he's earned those feats 100%) to infinity.

But let a residential YSL artist who doesn't make "real music" drop the fourth installment of a mixtape-turned-album series and suddenly Abel was doomed from the start to fall behind on the charts when debuting.

Incredible.

Cole did it but Kanye didn't.

Second week numbers:

So you're saying there aren't pop songs that are clear attempts at radio hits on Dawn FM?

Like I've said before, they have all these dumb excuses now only because the album has underperformed/flopped for the Weeknd's standards. Wasn't so long ago they were treating him like the biggest artist in the world. Now, they have every excuse in the world for why a B-list rapper is outdoing him casually and comfortably.
