Damn so 15
Feb 10, 2025·1 replyMafia BossDrowning was huge. With streaming it's easier for songs but way harder for albums. Peoples albums were going 20x platinum before.
"Huge". The song hasn’t even hit a billion streams but it’s diamond and apparently on the same level as In Da Club based on certifications.

Taylor currently has 8 songs that are Diamond eligible with another not so far away. Kendrick currently has 6. They just haven't updated their certifications yet.

TheFaderY’all love moving goalposts whenever it’s convenient man. First it was “don’t focus on Spotify”, now you’re doing exactly that.
Starboy debuted with 175M streams in the US. That’s 70 MILLION LESS than Views, an album that dropped just 7 months prior to it.
Do you know how many entries The Weeknd has in the Top 100 Streaming Weeks Ever in the US? ONE. 220M. #73 on the list.
He has NEVER been a huge first week streaming artist (in the US, as y’all always make it a point to specify)
Never been a huge first week streaming artist
but also broke the record for most streams in a day on the platformmakes sense

Yes, GLOBALLY.
His new album just had his highest first week GLOBAL streaming total as well, but every time that’s brought up y’all dismiss it and say “this is a US sales thread”
Moving the goalposts yet again

No it was not. It didn’t reach #10 until its’ 12th week in the chart
You probably don’t even realize that Timeless was his highest chart debut ever at #3
Did you only start following The Weeknd's career in 2021 or something?
Blinding Lights was #3 on Spotify on its first day of release, charts.spotify.com/charts/view/regional-us-daily/2019-11-29
and stayed there for about a week. It fell off over christmas, then February (just 2 months after release) it was already back in the top 10
Blinding Lights was also mostly a radio song, it never did crazy on streaming in the US
Heartless also basically debutted at #1 on Billboard, in its first full week, and Starboy was a pretty big smash hit on streaming as soon as it came out. that thing was everywhere. The Weeknd being a "slow burn" artist is a recent thing.

Globally he has gone from breaking records for the most sreamed album globally
to his new album not even being in the top 30/40 most streamed albums in a single day. with 22 tracks. Lets be honest with ourselves here.

No way you’re comparing streaming records made when streaming was literally at its’ infancy
Streaming records would literally get broken once a month up until like 2020 man come on

Also, that first day hype don’t mean s*** when the album is only #41 of the highest streamed albums ever on Spotify
Dawn FM and Harry’s House are currently getting about the same amount of daily streams on Global Spotify
Feb 10, 2025pimpinDiamond status just isnt impressive anymore. And I say that as a Kendrick fan and he just hit double diamond with HUMBLE. Even Love Sosa went diamond which shows how watered down the title is now.
A Boogie’s Drowning is diamond but barely anyone knows that song lol. HUMBLE is double diamond but it’s not nearly as big as In Da Club.
A diamond record back in 2003 is like 30x-40x platinum today. As streaming continues to grow this will only become more common and in a decade diamond plaques wont be special at all.
Most of Drake’s diamond records would’ve struggled to hit 3x platinum back in 2003.

Harry was on his third album at that point.
The Weeknd is 14 years into his career and just dropped his final album as The Weeknd. His PEAK was After Hours, the same way that Harry’s PEAK will most likely be Harry’s House

Tyler the Creator is a damn rapper that debuted like 15 years before Chromokopia, never streamed crazy, he's an ant compared to The Weeknd streaming wise. yet his debut was way higher than any weeknd debut ever.
these excuses are just weird
