    I wonder where he would rank in a list only accounting for the streams of songs from the past 2 years

    I've always been clear i'm a drake stan lol

    him/taylor/arguably tyler are some of the only artists that are fully only about the music and no nonsense. I also s*** on Drake as much as the weeknd lol, just not in this thread in the past 6 months

    taylor is definitely not fully only about the music lol

    yeah fair, I explained it badly

    i just mean artists that're obsessed with dropping music, and tyler shouldn't be included in that convo actually. Too many artists these days spend more time on other s*** like fashion/makeup/godknows rather than dropping music

    “One of the worst rollouts of all time”

    In the past two months alone we’ve gotten:

    • album cover + title announcement
    • livestream concert of the album era debut
    • three singles
    • three music videos
    • four additional concerts where new songs were performed and debuted
    • tie-in film officially announced
    • and the Apple Vision Pro event releases this month as well

    But sure it’s one of the “worst rollouts of all time” because mangotflu on irrelevant music forum thinks the songs are flopping

    all that just for the hype to be completely dead right now

    you can’t deny that this is definitely the least hyped everyone has been for a new weeknd album

    i hope he pulls through but it’s not looking good bro

    Where is the hype dead? The Election literally just happened and people are upset with the results, nobody is thinking about a pop album release right now

    This is really the point being made. He's done a lot for his current era but because there's no consistency visually or sonically in everything he's been dropping, fans aren't as connected to it. This is his first studio album in 3 years and there's absolutely no hype for it, even amongst his own fanbase. Every The Weeknd album era from Kiss Land to Dawn FM had a consistency visually and sonically. Either the music videos had a similar vibe or they told a story but they were all connected somehow.

    Dancing in the Flames, Timeless and São Paulo couldn't be more different from one another and so it just seems like he's throwing s*** at the wall to see what sticks and so far, nothing is sticking.

    Do we think Tyler gets number 1 again next week? Doesn’t seem like there is any competition right now

    Congratulations Tyler is now the second biggest rapper out of LA and still behind the Big 3 + Travis

    You smoking crack mixed with rat poison if you think Cole’s next joint is putting anywhere close to these numbers

    Tyler's 2nd week is the biggest 2nd week for any rapper's most recent album, right?

    Chromokopia 160,225 (45,699 pure)
    FATD 160,960 (949 pure)
    Mr Morale 92,555 (3,160 pure)

    nvm Drake got him by 700 units

    If you had said a month ago that Tyler's new album will be more popular than Kendrick's & Travis's last albums, you'd have been clowned to absolute hell and back, you'd have mfs asking sab to ip ban you

    Doesn't matter. It got a full second week so it wouldn't have magically done bigger numbers in it's second week if it dropped earlier in it's first week.
