thegreatdivineSame thing applies. Most R&B albums this decade and the last were flops commercially. And the Weeknd categorizes his music as R&B/Soul, not Pop.
Those DSP genre labels don’t mean a damn thing. You’re deaf if you think an album like Dawn FM is an R&B album
Feb 16, 2025·1 replyTheFaderThere are literally so many different sub genres of rap, reducing it down to that is genuinely insane
It’s like asking why an Earl album didn’t go #1

ExpertAfter Hours and SOS are literally in top 10 of all albums sold this decade.
idk what people are yapping about
funny thing is i dont think there are any rap albums at the top lmao.
Unabel ain't R&B

Still sticking to my 150-200k projection for $$$4U. Seems like HDD won't be providing projections until Tuesday.
TheGreatLowball when her lowball worked out in her favor
she was ready to say $$$4u was a supreme over performance but now ducks with the protection of “this was always my projection”

ICEMAN40Man… I didn’t realize the lore between Drake and Kendrick stans ran this deep. 2022 really struck a chord and it was not a minorrrrrrrrrrrr
you don’t know about the failed kendrake alliance huh?

Pop is propped up by manic fans and radio
Mindless programming music
Saying this in defense of $$$4U is genuinely hilarious

Pop is right there. Why didn't The Weeknd pick that as his genre? You don't get to tell an artist how to categorize their own music btw.

Zack From The SixThat guy is such a moron. I usually get annoyed with dumb people but I love seeing him embarrass himself with his contradictory arguments
He is trying his hardest as well but he still fails lmao. Bless himThe only ones that are dumb and contradictory are y’all. I never once claimed The Weeknd was making R&B music

Yeah and they can’t tell us how to categorize it either lol

yes. i joined the old forum in 2014 so i remember all of the arguments vividly. Kendrick got all the accolades but he never sold more than Drake so Drake stans used that against him for why he couldn't be #1.

NeonNigga23You didn’t mean this…
If I had to pick between only listening to Drake, or listening to 1 PND song for every 100 songs I hear, call me Bow From The Six
- Feb 16, 2025thegreatdivine
Well, the Weeknd thinks he does R&B. Hence why ALL his albums are categorized as R&B/Soul albums.
Yeah it’s definitely him and not the label choosing it
Same way SZA said she doesn’t agree with SOS being called an R&B album but it’s still labeled as such on DSPs
