    It’s strange how Lover, Folklore, and Evermore all had underwhelming first-week streaming numbers, with Evermore in particular not being well received

    Then she turns around and drops Midnights, casually pulling in 500 million streams in its first week?

    I was so convinced she was cooked, but now she’s shattering every streaming record at an unbelievable pace

    This kind of comeback is absolutely insane

    i think scooter braun buying her catalog and her remaking her remaking her older albums saved her from falling off

    What will be your excuse if Kendrick's 2nd week is less than FATD?

    Drake's gonna 3x The Weeknd's units in the US this year and this mf is like "he's not at the top" lol

    mental illness

    That's the same disturbed individual who'll try to convince you that you need to worry more about Drake's next album than The Wee148knd's next album

    Daily streams on an individual song or album are a terrible metric for measuring popularity, ngl

    Nah but she's a top 5 artist in the US and over the last 10 years there's been way more huge black artists than white

    It’ll be around the exact same amount as FATD’s second week, which is embarrassing because:

    • FATD did almost 100K units more first week
    • FATD has 11 more tracks

    Same user who swears Bruno is a global superstar and that nigga has never done more than 250K first week

    Almost like he understands that pop artists normally don’t have crazy first weeks, but acts like that doesn’t apply to The Weeknd

    uv lost the plot if you're trying to now disagree that bruno is a global superstar lol

    it's fine

    And the only one who ever reached Taylor Swift’s level was a white woman. Hope this helps

    9th in US streams and 12th in US sales all without an album out since 2022, but sure, he’s not a superstar in the US anymore.

    Bruno didn’t even finish in the Top 50 in US sales this year, him and Weeknd are not the same

    its not just streaming

    its streaming/touring and other factors.

    NBA Youngboy is one of the highest streaming artists and he opening for Rod Wave.

    sometimes it kinda looks like she’s attempting to ragebait you with irrelevant Bruno stats, just as you’re trying to bait her by bringing up irrelevant Gunna stats to argue that Drake is no longer the top rapper
