Jan 18, 2022·1 replyshaleiroseI assure you Weeknd does not have a fanbase like that. I don’t think it’s fair that physical copies of an album aren’t counted just because they’re pre orders.
Also if a fan wants to buy multiple physical copies of an album to support an artist they love, what’s wrong with that? It’s still a real person spending real dollars on a copy of the album, it’s not like some fans do where they fake streams by letting an album play on mute or in the background to get the streaming numbers up
Then what's the explanation for Weeknd's struggle on streaming sites compared to his physical sales? Because it's not like his fanbase consists of oldheads who do not use streaming sites.

like a ton of major artists don't send their s*** to reviewers early. that's the whole point, it's a business
true, but abel didn't only send them early copies but also kept in touch with bunch of critics trying to control a narrative

again if it’s this easy to get critics to give you a good score than why doesn’t everyone do it

JMCi think the point with that is if they counted physicals based on pre-orders like they have in past years this wouldnt have been close. weeknd now gonna sell like 100k on a random week in april bc of vinyl shipping then
but it's pointless argument anyway bc this s*** doesn't matter lol
That's just Billboard being more accurate, why would you count a pre-order made now as a sale for something that doesn't ship for months. Tyler and Adele shipped physicals first week and that counted. Its not "a random week in April" its when people can actually say they got it

A stan buying an album three times is an infinitely more engaged consumer than a guy who hears a gunna song 10 times cuz he shuffles rap caviar on the way to work
The charts are supposed to show who's more popular among the population. 1,500 streams equals 1 album sale.
What do you think represents what's most popular better:
1 crazy stan buying 10 copies of the same album to inflate sales
15.000 streams from a loooot of people, that results in 10 sold copies? - Jan 18, 2022

He’s not struggling on streaming, the first week streams for Dawn and After Hours are borderline identical
It’s just that hip hop streams more, especially on Apple Music where Billboard weighs those more being that they’re all paid streams, unlike Spotify
