Im still hyped but this guy should start to release more info because there’s a decent chance of this album leaks in the coming days and he will look like a fool with merch and digital deluxes. Maybe he made sure to keep this album locked away until the 31th but it’s still out there in a lot of stores and he acting too comfortable with this rollout imo.

You don’t love dark R&B/rap Weeknd?

this nigga blew up from pop, and ain't nobody want this singer to rap i truly promise you. popular is not dark nor rap and creepin too

I still don’t subscribe to the theory that the rollout has been bad or lacking.

But there have definitely been some baffling choices made throughout

maybe the gp has saturation fatigue

this man has been going crazy since 2020

ive loved it

this drop is the first thing thats given me pause but literally only because of how it was handled with the countdown and lack of information

the password is saying incorrect even though I'm putting it in right :/

What do I do?

Dawn fm was released too soon in my opinion

I don’t mean rap rap, I mean when he was releasing music that was more adjacent to the rap world. Popular leans more towards the rap side of things than it does the synth pop side of things, and Creepin’ literally has rap verses on it

Not in cdq you haven’t. I’m assuming you’re referring to the São Paulo show, snippets, or leaks. I haven’t been paying much attention to snippets or leaks so that’s kinda on you if your hype is dead cuz of em

Nobody’s saying Weeknd should start spitting 16s lmao you know what I mean by R&B/rap fusion

A song like Popular is more appealing to people who like R&B/rap than it is to people who enjoy synth pop

yeah after hours still had a lot of steam left on the charts

It’s shipped to stores already?

We need a Rodeo KTT1 moment expeditiously

Ehh, there are plenty of major artists who have been just as active in similar timeframes who don’t seem to have a waning GP-interest like Weeknd does. I think a big part of it is his dedication to the synthpop stuff in this trilogy (not complaining, I love it, but I could understand why casual audiences would not in 2025)

The only thing that can fix my mood is the tracklist

i hate it

i think fans also like the non synth pop adjacent tracks on the studio albums more than the former too

Not to dampen the mood

The checkout for the digital album works

Our goat is washed 💔

unless theres something else i missed, the only 'confirmation' thats its been shipped to stores is a reddit comment that someones friend saw the vinyl tracklist and it featured lana

sounds fake as s*** but people on twitter ran with it
