what's over tho. I don't get it. Yeah he might get 1 hit from this but I doubt he'll have 2.

After Hours was the 4th best selling album of 2020 overall, I doubt this will even be top 10 lol especially this year is probably gonna be stacked

The Weeknd didn't go #1 in either markets. If you read the articles and look at the "global" market a lot you'll notice it never reaches as much as US, China, India because the rest of the world population is very small hence why people put so much emphasis on US sales chart

Dawn FM only went #1 "globally" in 9 countries

Canada 38 million
Australia 25 million
Ireland 5 million
Finland 5.5 million
the Netherlands 17 million
New Zealand 5 million
Norway 5.3 million
Sweden 10.3 million
Switzerland 8.6 million

That total population is very minimal compared to the 300 million in USA, 1 Billion in China, 1.3 billion in India none of which have a big population of The Weeknd fans

Gunna’s first project dropped in 2016

Since 2016 he has:

a diamond sibgie with no drake feature

3 number 1 albums (one of which he shares with Young Thug, since it’s a compilation)

President Obama listened to WUNNA and put “Sun Came Out” on his end of year 2020 playlist

Them Reddit users mad mad and out of touch

It was certified 9x almost a year ago, and at that point it went from 7x to 9x in a couple weeks so it’s more than likely at diamond now but they haven’t certified it yet, i assume you know how certifications work. If it’s not diamond yet it will be very soon

Once something hits 9x plat it’s pretty much diamond, technically it’s not certified yet but I’m sure it has surpassed the amount of sales, I just don’t know where to find that info

It’s a technicality, he still has a single that’s on that level and will be a diamond single for him soon
