The way he proved this immediately after is sending me man

GUNNA (BIG 🅿️) OUTSELLS WEEKND FOR THE 200TH STRAIGHT WEEK

ya’ll take yourselves and this website too seriously lol congratulations to you and midzy for the gotcha?

The Weeknd isn’t the first artist to tie multiple albums to one tour, and he’s definitely not the first to run the same tour over several years

This whole debate is a complete non-issue some of y’all are just bored on a Friday night

It’s a trilogy of albums. The first two albums released before the tour even began. Why would he do a brand new tour for the third album of the set? What logistical sense does that make

Yeah they’ll be gearing up for the ten year anniversary of After Hours in 2026

Do y’all even hear yourselves

You have no idea how touring works

The length of a tour is entirely dependent on the artist and their team

A tour can be either one month long or ten years long, there are literally no rules to it

He’s not gaming any system because the only tours to ever gross $1B all needed at least 150 shows to do it

There have been numerous tours that were for multiple albums that were years’ long in length so you’re just lying

It’s literally been done multiple times THIS DECADE ALONE, they’re crying about absolutely nothing

Why would Oanye tour

The only thing that doesn’t make logistical sense is the fact he began tour midway through the trilogy

Wouldn’t the logical thing have been… release all albums first, then do a tour for the trilogy afterwards?

Not make fans pay $300 to hear half the trilogy then come back and charge another $300 to have them see you again and hear the rest all under “1 tour”

But this is what happens when you just make things up as you go along for a total gross record I guess

The only thing that doesn’t make logistical sense is the fact he began tour midway through the trilogy

Because there was a damn pandemic dumbass

You don’t care about how long the tour is, you just hate The Weeknd

Ed Sheeran did a three-year tour for two albums

Coldplay is currently on a FIVE YEAR tour for TWO ALBUMS

Where is your smoke for them?

He was still planning to start the tour midway through the trilogy regardless of the pandemic, dumbass.

It was planned for 2020-2021 start originally and he wouldn’t have released all 3 albums by then.

When are Coldplay & Ed Sheeran touring numbers ever discussed in this thread? Why are you struggling to understand his tour was the one posted so it’s the one being discussed lmao

The original tour was gonna be for After Hours only, dumb f***

The tour got postponed because of the pandemic, then he made the second album, and chose to combine the albums for one tour since he hadn’t toured either of them yet

The point about Coldplay and Ed is that y’all in here acting like The Weeknd is the only artist to ever go on a single tour for multiple years, or to perform numerous new albums on a new tour. You’re an idiot and do not understand how touring works whatsoever

There’s only a debate because some nolifes love arguing in here from the most random reason. A 3-4 year tour for 3 separate albums with constantly changing setlist is only done for an artificial record reason and anyone arguing against that just a loser imo. And yes, The Weeknd isn’t the first artist to do something like this. I didn’t even know the weirdos would come out when I commented on it

Ed Sheeran a different breed, did a tour within the tour

he did a theater tour of an album that just dropped next to the actual mega tour. people hate Ed Sheeran, but his fans eat

You’re so dumb

There are no rules as to what makes something a tour and what doesn’t. All it comes down to is how the artist is marketing it and when it officially begins and officially ends.

Dijon is currently on tour and the setlist has varied every single stop of the tour. Does that not count as one tour?

The After Hours til Dawn Tour had primarily the same setlist for its first two legs. It only added in some Hurry Up Tomorrow songs for the third & fourth legs, and swapped the order of the original setlist’s songs

Outta all these arguments, I just want another smash hit era from the Weeknd.

Sure you do

I mean... Taylor Swift also did one tour for two albums (Midnights and Tortured). She dropped the second one during the tour.

If we count the re-releases, she also dropped Speak Now and 1989... so four albums

They’re too stupid to realize that she was on tour for much longer than Weeknd was. They just see “2023-2024” vs. “2022-2026” and they automatically think the latter was longer

Taylor toured for a collective total of 14 months over the span of two calendar years (2023 and 2024)

Weeknd, when it’s wrapped up, will have toured for a collective total of 17 months over the span of five calendar years (2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026)

“We gotta stop comparing creativity with commerce”

4B streams in one year is insane

People keep bringing up Taylor as if that makes it any better. Taylor’s whole mo lately has been scamming her fans and living a life that’s just made to be album promos. I don’t expect any authenticity from her

Taylor
Coldplay
Ed Sheeran
Elton John
The 1975
Drake
Harry Styles
