    200k for week 3 is not bad at all.

    yeah, I forgot about SOS

    idk about After Hours. The Highlights stole a lot of sales from this album, in the US and other countries with the same rules regarding compilations

    But I think The Highlights could be his Immaculate Collection

    After Hours is still charting after almost 6 years of release, it might not go Diamond this decade but it’ll get there sometime in the 2030s. It’ll probably be at 6 or 7x Plat the next time it’s certified.

    GNX as well

    I don’t even get why he released The Highlights, like what’s the point of a greatest hits album in the streaming era??

    You can literally just make a playlist

    The Weeknd is a fraudulent artist lmao. He’ll do unimaginable things for numbers and statistics. Thats the reason.

    GNX's sales have come to a grinding halt since early August. It's at 2.8M units sold now and at its current rate, it won't cross the 3M mark till Q1 next year so while it sold over 2M units rather quickly, it's averaging 15k units per week right now so run the numbers on how long it'll take for it to sell 1M more units (and that's if that average doesn't drop as the months pass). When it's all said and done, it'd have sold just as much as For All the Dogs did in 2 years (3M+ units).

    It should also be noted that GNX had way bigger hits than For All the Dogs, as well as a massive boost that lasted almost 3 months following the Superbowl Halftime performance.

    I actually love compilations and I wish more artists would make them. It's a great way to get into an artist's music

    Yeah, you can just play their music on streaming. But a compilation is official, you can buy it

    When The Weeknd released The Highlights, his career had turned a decade old and he had 8 projects with various hits. It was a good decision imo

    Idk about that deluxe edition with various random songs though

    Yeah, this mostly applies to artists who are done with having any sort of commercial relevance and who have too many projects to dig through individually. The Weeknd released the Highlights because of his Superbowl Halftime performance and he really didn't need to. Trilogy is already the compilation for his mixtapes. Songs off his debut album Kiss Land aren't on the Highlights so it was really just songs from 2015-2020 he had on there, making listening to the Highlights not exactly a great way to dig into the best The Weeknd songs as a new listener.

    If Drake were to make a 20 track greatest hits album, what songs would you want on it?

    Trilogy is a compilation of the three mixtapes in one package, it’s not a collection of hit songs.

    The Highlights is his biggest 1-3 song on all of his projects (Kiss Land excluded), and his biggest features. It was the perfect package for any older person who had never listened to him before the Super Bowl, liked what they heard, and wanted to hear the guy’s biggest songs

    I wouldn't want one to begin with because every project is special in its own way.

    I don't even think a greatest hits compilation would work for Drake because he has like 50 songs that fit that criteria, maybe even more.

    With Drake, a Greatest Hits collection would be so interesting because you could split it up so many ways. You could do:

    • lead records/features records
    • Rap/R&B/Pop
    • Diamond records

    For this, I would split it up by leads and features. Mine would look something like this:

    Disc 1:

    1. Best I Ever Had
    2. Over
    3. Find Your Love
    4. Headlines
    5. Marvins Room
    6. Started From the Bottom
    7. Hold On, We’re Going Home
    8. Know Yourself
    9. Hotline Bling
    10. One Dance
    11. Controlla
    12. Passionfruit
    13. God’s Plan
    14. Nonstop
    15. Nice For What
    16. In My Feelings
    17. Laugh Now Cry Later
    18. Jimmy Cooks
    19. Rich Baby Daddy
    20. NOKIA

    Disc 2:

    1. Aston Martin Music
    2. Moment 4 Life
    3. She Will
    4. I’m on One
    5. Stay Schemin
    6. No Lie
    7. Versace (Remix)
    8. Who Do You Love?
    9. Tuesday
    10. My Way Remix
    11. Where Ya At
    12. Work
    13. Come and See Me
    14. Look Alive
    15. SICKO MODE
    16. Going Bad
    17. MIA
    18. No Guidance
    19. Life is Good
    20. WAIT FOR U

    If he did one it should be a diamond collection like what post malone did.

    Iceman Diamond Collection 🤔

    Drop it in 2030 or 2029 for 20 years after his debut

    Lowkey with the feats you kinda hit shuffle lol

    He wouldn’t be able to include every single feature and lead hit record though.

    I think The Motto would be omitted

    And you could include Right Above It but I just went with She Will instead, was trying not to have too many artist repeats
