There are two explanations for this though:

1. After Hours has the highest-streamed song on the platform, and has the second-lowest number of tracks amongst the albums listed here (Future Nostalgia and SOUR are both first-lowest with 11 tracks each). With that in mind, that explains why Blinding Lights's 5.4B streams make up 40% of the album's streams. Furthermore, comparing it to the other non-Weeknd albums with a near 50% mark for the top-two songs listed here, After Hours actually has a more even distribution:

• After Hours has 14 songs and 16.4B streams. Removing its two highest-streamed songs, the remaining 12 songs have 8.3B streams. Overall, 4/14 songs on the album have 1B+ streams
• ÷ (Deluxe) has 16 songs and 18.3B streams. Removing its two highest-streamed songs, the remaining 14 songs have 9.4B streams. Overall, 4/16 songs on the album have 1B+ streams
• Hollywood's Bleeding has 17 songs and 15.6B streams. Removing its two highest-streamed songs, the remaining 15 songs have 8.2B streams. Overall, 4/17 songs on the album have 1B+ streams

2. For Hurry Up Tomorrow, the explanation is simple: the album is not that popular overall. You could find the same split with almost any artist's least-popular albums:

• Drake - Honestly, Nevermind (Jimmy Cooks + Massive = 55%)
• Post Malone - AUSTIN (Chemical + Mourning = 78%)
• Dua Lipa - Radical Optimism (Houdini + Training Season = 67%)

Of course, there are exceptions, but in general albums that aren't that popular find the bulk of their streams being taken up by their 2-3 most popular songs

He’s not Drake. People actually listen to drakes new music lol

Yes, removing songs from the albums will skew the results lol.

You listed three flops. Is HUT a flop?

Interesting to see ppl who claim all fader does is argue in the sales thread all day, literally argue in the sales thread with him all day

Yes, it is. Thought we all agreed on that by now.

And it's not skewing anything, it's just showing how After Hours is in a unique position compared to those other albums since it has the highest-streamed song ever

It takes two to tango but they act like I'm in here dancing alone

Of course it was a flop lol. Outside of the carti stimmies and kpop stimmy no one is listening to his new music anymore. He may need to run back to Atlanta for that carti stimmy although Carti hype may be dead now

Interesting to see an alt of a guy with hundreds of gimmick accounts call out others for being in threads too much

Hurry Up Tomorrow is currently getting more daily streams than every Drake project besides Views and ICEMAN, including the other 2 brand new albums he released less than two months ago

Why is HUT currently outstreaming 2 of the 3 new albums Drake just dropped in May then?

I already called him one of the biggest singles artist of our era. You skipped over Starboy (18 tracks) with 44.4% coming from two songs btw.

It’s not, both Habibti and Maid of Honor are higher on the bb#200. Even if hut was out streaming, that wouldn’t be a flex since Drake literally dropped 3 albums at once lol. Iceman is the main one everyone is listening too right now. So far it’s on track to becoming the biggest hiphop album of the decade

44% is not a crazy ratio for 18 songs when Scorpion (25 songs) and Lover (18 songs) are right below it with around 38% each

Higher on the Billboard 200 because they just dropped.

Also, this conversation was about global Spotify numbers, not the US Billboard chart.

Hurry Up Tomorrow is currently outstreaming Drake's entire discography besides ICEMAN and Views

i barely pay attention to this thread but did olivia’s numbers actually increase?

we won

Nope. The conversation was about solo hits, then how HUT is a flop, then about how Drake’s other 2 albums are “getting out streamed” (they aren’t) you don’t have any proof of that. Spotify is just 1 streaming service. The facts are the facts 🤷‍♂️ The Weeknd hasn’t had a solo hit since 2020. We’re already halfway through 2026. The fact that you have to try and make up the fact that HUT is outstreaming drakes side albums that just dropped is funny asf tho

"Side albums"

Y'all will come up with every excuse in the book for Drake's flop albums when no other fanbase does that.

HUT flopped because it flopped, same goes for MOH and HABIBTI, nobody listened to those albums.

Drake didn't have a huge solo hit from 2021 to 2026, and dropped six solo projects (eight projects total) during that span before he finally caught one with Janice STFU.

Weeknd has dropped only three projects in the 2020s, and one of them has two songs bigger than anything Drake has dropped since 2018. It's only his last two albums that don't have any huge solo songs.

Total amount of songs on 2020s projects by The Weeknd: 52

Solo 2020s hit songs by The Weeknd: Blinding Lights, Save Your Tears

Total amount of songs on 2020s projects by Drake: 158

Solo 2020s hit songs by Drake: NOKIA, Janice STFU

2/52 vs. 2/158

You said it yourself that drake dropping 3 albums at the same time would cannibalize them and affect the numbers it’s not even an excuse
Drake just dropped an album that is actively crushing every weeknd album this decade numbers wise. Focus on that
He’s had multiple solo hits this decade. And gets hit songs on every album. Can’t say the same for the weaknd. His new s*** ain’t hitting anymore. Hasn’t had a legit hit without carti or a kpop artist since 2020 btw lol

Yes it would cannibalize the first week numbers. We're almost two months post-release and barely anyone is listening to those two albums.

ICEMAN is doing well, yes, but After Hours is still way more successful. Let me know when ICEMAN reaches 15B streams in 5 years

No artist will ever drop 3 albums at the same time and have them each dominating 2 months after stop it lol. Iceman is literally tracking to be the biggest hiphop album of the decade so what point are you even trying to make bringing up the other 2 albums he dropped? He still has a brand new album crushing any album The Weeknd dropped this decade (and ever if we’re keeping it a buck) lol
Spotify streams are the only metric you cling to cause you know it’s bleak everywhere else nowadays

Iceman is a classic btw

It's not crushing After Hours, you'd have to be delusional to think that

I didn't say the other two had to be dominating, but less than 2M streams daily less than two months after they dropped?

And no, Spotify metrics are the only metrics I cite because it's the biggest streaming service and also it's the only actual streaming numbers the public has access to

It’s absolutely crushing after hours units wise I believe. Watch you cope and move the goal posts once again lol
Also once again you’re focusing on only 1 metric which obviously doesn’t paint the full picture. Spotify numbers are gospel to you weeknd fans cause that’s all you have nowadays lol
