    BL success was an anomaly.

    It was initially blocked by Mariah during Christmas season, there isn’t a factor like that this time around.

    It benefited from dropping before a global pandemic, it’s no coincidence the only other memorable hit that year was Life Is Good. Which also dropped before the pandemic.

    It’s crazy to think Weeknd would have a late bloomer this time around.

    He won’t and he probably doesn’t care either, getting TikTok plays is not the pinnacle of artistry

    “I don’t like this” ≠ “this is bad”

    Meh. Don't really agree. I think if a hit is a hit, it will blow up once the people hear it. See you in 1-3 months when that happens with TMB i guess.

    Copium

    He released Take My Breath as a single wanting similar success.

    Or he wouldn’t have went with the 80s sound again and worked with one of the biggest hit makers oat for the album.

    he needs tiktok dance stimulus

    he should manufacture a song that has a dance built in

    Toosie Slide remix coming soon

    I haven’t been in this thread as much as others but I haven’t really seen that many people call it bad I feel like it’s more of a combination of people wanting a new sound from him or for him to revisit some of his older sounds. I liked the album so I don’t care either way but I haven’t seen anything too egregious

    If that was case the whole album wouldn’t “sound the same” like people say. He was trying to create an artistic/cohesive project and that’s what he did

    there's def people saying it's trash (literally on this same page) but nothing is ever fully one way or the other. those things are just excuses people use. you either like the music or not

    That literally happens in every album thread though…like I don’t get why people are so upset over something that is normalized in album threads

    idk about this man lol yeah most artists, especially those signed to record deals, care about success and recognition of their work. but does everything always have to be a part of "the game"

    maybe he just released Take My Breath cause he was really proud of the record, maybe him and the label agreed it would work the best on the album. we don't really know

    also in your other post, Blinding Lights and LIG were not the only memorable hits since the pandemic started lol

    what happens every album thread? people not liking the music? sure.

    i think the hundreds of pages comes in with the foul ass disrespectful s*** people say, niggas stalking each other's posts and bringing up old s***, threats and coordinates being handed out. you know, that typa s***

    you right tbh, soon as he starts the radio campaign he'll get at least 1 decent sized hit.

    no one does radio as good as the weeknd

    The Weeknd the kind of dude to promote Gunna with a 🅿️ meme tbh

    he's not worried about this, Dawn FM is a good album and he's been eating good money these past years
