Weeknd just did the Super Bowl and Lil Baby had trouble selling out his joint tour w lil Durk

0 people thought that meant an album but according to you everyone was led to believe a heart in drake's hair meant an album was coming?

Is the world the US

And they’re equal in the states while weeknd eclipses him globally

Why not compare the 2020 Lil Baby album to the 2020 Weeknd album?

Weeknd a bigger name, Lil Baby's music more popular is probably a better thing to say

My Turn also outstreamed After Hours though?

Fair

Yeah I agree w that

At the end of the day

Album flopped
Hip Hop is biggest genre
Abel weekend sucks

Album would’ve sold more if it was better, Gasoline might be the worst song of his entire career

Super disappointing, especially as the follow up to After Hours

It's like Justin Bieber, ask anyone in the US to name the 5 biggest artists and I guarantee most will name Bieber just off his brand & name even though most people aren't listening to his actual music like they are for Lil Baby/Uzi/Juice Wrld type artists

It’s just the optics of it really

And considering since the release of AH he did a super bowl performance, idk about you but I would hope I would stream better on my next album. Especially considering the way Blinding Lights kept growing, I shouldn’t still be where I was pre year long smash and super bowl performance

Then add to it the lack of bundles, the smoke and mirrors being there and now being gone ain’t a great look

My new girl she a movie staaaAAAArrrr

People didn’t like the album and they’re not listening to it

All you can really say

Guess I’m not people

I’m talking about non Weeknd fans really because we love it and a lot of people agree this is some of the best music he’s ever made

I’m talking the TikTok/Twitter fans that other artists have in their back pocket

was tik tok and twitter not f***ing with After Hours? i don't have either

Exactly.. I have no clue why people acted like the super bowl performance was so big for him, look at the past acts lol its generally artists far past their mainstream peak trying to collect a check

same for how big BL was, it wasn't an insane streaming hit in the US, it was the 4th most streamed song of 2020, radio is what carried it and radio listeners don't really stick with artists. He has had multiple huge hits before BL and I'm sure he'll have another soon

Off-Season platinum with features

Cuz the s*** was Mid and had no hit single

Not sure honestly I don’t remember much from when it was released

It’s one of his best lmbo

Anyone calling this a flop is a hater. I don’t even like Weeknd but didn’t his last album do some similar with less promo this time around? He’ll end up like Doja Cat more than likely. Decent fw sales and then pretty much coast doing nice numbers for months after release.

The pop radio formula
