Post before this has unbelievable levels of d***-ride hate

Lol the reception for BL on release was very good
the reception for this was trash

The reactions in the DITF thread aren’t even negative unless you cherry pick like a few posts

Why do people on here hate The Weeknd so much? What did he do?

There's many people calling it generic etc lol, it's definitely waaay more negative than the BL

Just scrolled to the middle of the thread and saw a total of 3 people saying they didn’t like it

bruh most the comments are saying they think its average/below average lol

“Most the comments” and it’s like 20 out of 191 comments

They’re usually drake stans who think he’s ungrateful

lol exactly. and they can't fathom the fact he's surpassed him as a global star. drake obviously still the biggest in North america but thats abt it.

All of this because some people dared to state (factually) that the Weeknd's single flopped/is underperforming on the charts

We can say this for any other artist without receiving this kind of blowback but say it about the Weeknd and get harassed with several quotes telling you to just wait for 3-6 months because that's when every song The Weeknd drops inevitably becomes a smash hit

The Weeknd, drops an album that debuts at #199 on the Billboard 200:

Casual fan who observes album performance on the charts: Oh wow, #199. That's a bad debut. A major flop right there.

The Weeknd stans: Drake d***rider! I bet y'all are still mad that the Weeknd is 500 times bigger than Drake globally! Just wait, 5 months from now, the album will be in the top 10 🤓

Huge Weeknd stan here, but stuff hasn’t been landing like that for a year

Idk if ur serious or not lol. the reception to this everywhere has been bad. you're being delusional

if you don't see a huge difference in sentiment ur insane lol

Let’s revisit in March. When you’re wrong let me know the next area we move the goalposts to

Blinding Lights? That song was actually good. This song is gonna have the same trajectory as Take My Breath but even worse

Y’all say this now but y’all was on here in December 2019 calling the song a flop, the threads are literally still available to go read through

Wasn't that the Heartless joint? I remember people always knew Blinding Lights was a hit. His last lead single, Take My Breath didn't have this effect that you speak of and this song is even worse so I don't know what you expect

IN-DES-CRIBABLEEEEE

'oh wow, Max, I'm getting goosebumps. What a great way to end the chorus.' - Abel in the studio
'That's it, that's the one! The one!!' He continues dancing like in the super bowl.

Drake stans

Lol if the kendrick album doesnt do 500k or more this place gonna be insufferable

They can say whatever they wanna say… but they can’t change the fact it flopped 😂😂😂😂😂

Is music Future’s main source of income? Bro might be one of the last few musicians out here just pumping out music full time, not trying to endorse some random product, start a tequila brand, etc.

sold his masters a few years ago for close to $100 million in cash, I'm sure he has a bunch of investments that aren't public
