Dawn FM terrible rollout got yall pipin up huh???
He’s done over 350k every album besides his debut and dawn… we really gonna act like he’s some low selling pop artists like Bieber?
BBTM: 412k
Starboy: 375k
MDM: 150k (6 song ep)
After Hours: 444kHe’ll be doing more than 350k this album, I’ll put my whole house on it.
not sure if serious lol Bieber's discography is a lot more popular than The Weeknd's
BBTM: pure sales popular
Starboy: pure sales popular
MDM: pure sales popular
After Hours: bundles (no longer possible)
Dawn FM: the real numbers
New album: potentially digital salesJustin Bieber:
Believe: 374k (pure sales popular)
Purpose 649k (pure sales popular)
Changes 231k (pure sales died off a lot)
Justice 154k (pure sales dead)
This guy went from 649k to 154k in 6 years and you think The Weeknd is exempt? lolYou're basically saying the new is album is gonna do 200k+ pure. When no one is doing that except with gimmicks like digital albums
Even Beyonce didn't do 200k lol, she did 168k with her last album, and that was with a LOT of gimmicks like exclusive songs on special edition cds and vinyls.. then box sets.

What's even crazier about these arguments is Drake did 1m pure with Views, same year Starboy came out
FATD did 10k pure. 1% of the pure sales of Views. Yet you've got people in here trying to prove Starboy's/BBTM's pure sales are a sign that The Weeknd can move that amount of pures 8 years later

what cowboy carter special songs?
Sep 11, 2024jack johnsonwhat cowboy carter special songs?
there were no special songs, in fact, the major complaint was that the vinyls and CDs were missing tracks that were included on the streaming version. it was initially promoted to have a bonus track, but that ended up being FLAMENCO. maybe that's what they're talking about.

Also, saying “pure sales popular” to discredit an album’s sales is some of the most ridiculous s*** I’ve ever heard
And if you took more than two seconds to think, I don’t get how you’re discrediting After Hours for using bundles, but then excusing Changes’s low numbers by saying pure sales died off a lot.
Changes released one month before After Hours and utilized the same exact bundle tactics

Drake can’t move pure anymore because he completely abandoned that section of his fanbase and got them to only care about streaming. Weeknd can very easily still move pure

Lmao acting like Weeknd fans & Drake fans aren't the exact same people is insane. They're literally the exact same fanbase

Again you're missing my point, my point is you're being delusional and you're stuck in 2014 thinking people still buy albums. It's a fact that they don't unless they're bundled to hell and back.
By "pure sales popular" I'm obviously talking about how back prior to 2016~ the only way to listen to these albums was buying that s***, now you can stream it. So sales have taken a huge tumble, again another fact

your own screenshots are proving my point lol
"exact same bundle tactics". The Weeknd was selling concert ticket access alongside the albums to boost his numbers, Bieber never did that, and it's another thing that's no longer allowed. The Weeknd is one of very few artists that stooped that low in order to sell albums.

Bro can you read?!?
It says right there in the picture that he was using ticket bundles to sell Changes
Also it says it right here in this Forbes article
Changes marks Bieber’s first studio album in nearly five years, and while he certainly still commands a large audience, he lost a lot of momentum in that time. That became especially clear when Changes debuted with a limp 231,000 units, of which 126,000 were album sales. That’s a far cry from the 522,000 traditional albums that Purpose sold in its first week, and it’s even less encouraging when Changes’ sales were boosted by a ticket/album redemption offer. Just as ticket bundles failed to push Changes’ sales through the roof, the album is unlikely to drive ticket sales now that it’s out. Its vanilla R&B jams lack the explosive, EDM-tinted hooks of Purpose’s best tracks, and they likely won’t translate as well to an arena or stadium setting.

Bieber was using the exact same bundle tactics that every mainstream artist was using when that album dropped, that s*** came out in February 2020
