Jalen Brunson FanIt’s not just Die For You that got an increase, it’s his entire back catalogue (minus trilogy and KL)
I know, I just said that Die For You got earlier bigger than the other songs

I think TikTok is definitely the true answer here. Sure it helps that he’s doing stadiums but irl I don’t think people care all that much outside of the die hard fans.
The constant stream of show TikToks (especially the ones with the laptop closing, those are so cool) plus his songs randomly blowing up on TikTok are causing tons of folks to check out his back catalogue.
BBTM, Starboy, MDM, AH & Dawn FM have each been pulling steady 3M+ streams every day.
Is Dawn FM really doing 3M+ streams daily?

Facts, but if that tweet shows anything it’s that Weeknd music plays the long game so I’m sure it’ll get its flowers in due time

Bobby BalenciagaThis thread told me the Weeknd’s career was over after Dawn FM had mediocre first week sales what’s going on???
no one said it was over lol people were saying he isn't on the Drake/Taylor/Adele level yet like a lot of his fans thought he would be after the superbowl & blinding lights
probs never will be, just because his style of music

What constitutes being Drake/Taylor/Adele level? Having a big first week?

Gunna DS4 outsold and impacted FlopFM

272Cozppl itt tend to forget that what really matters are the lifetime sales, first week is just a fun thing to predict because all the uncertainty and high numbers but in the end what matters to the label is the money made in the long run
I’m not saying fw sales don’t matter because they ofc do especially for artists whose sales are frontloaded but sometimes u see some posts which just put too much weight into themYeah first week sales definitely do matter I’m not saying they don’t
But a lot of people have to remember that artists dropping year after year is kind of a niche thing within Hip-Hop.
The idea was to drop an album, tour it all across North America, then europe, etc and that the singles would carry you over the course of those 2, 3 years.
So when you think about it from that perspective, one week means very little

also i realise people here really ignore apple music. gunna and other trap artists may not be doing well on spotify but trust me if apple showed the numbers ,most pop stars getting washed by future. look at am as well when comparing

JeffersonSteelflexLmfao watch her and her minions try to come up with an excuse for this fact lol Kendrick stay outselling son and the only reason why CLB had mad sales was cause of Ye making it even more anticipated
Bruh even you don't believe this
Ye anticipated the album but didn't sell more the week before. Stop it

Weeknd’s albums are just loaded with music that has longevity / legs to them.
Everything about his albums (the sound of them, the tour surrounding them, the placements the records will get in media,) is built for the long game
One of the best ever to me in that regard.

kd radioINB4 Scary Hours 3 sells ~275K FW…soon y’all will see 💯
Scary hours 3 will have 3 songs max. If it does that that would be crazy. The last one did 150k

nah it's just all about selling a s*** ton of albums consistently, there's a case to be made The Weekend has done this globally tho. Just not in the US
if he puts out another album as big as After Hours then he'll definitely be up there, it just doesn't look likely w/ the path he's gone down as of late

She should have done higher numbers with the rollout she had.
New chart rules hurting her like everyone else.
Disagree. She's never been super hot to expect crazy numbers and the album isn't received that well to expect continuous streams

bmassIdk if I’m wrong to say Frank could potentially outsell kdot if he ever drops again. Maybe that’s just cause the drought, but Kenny had a long one too
Lol definitely not happening. He's independent. Gonna be close to Brent. Even worse if it's like a 12 track album
