KINPeople underestimating Future says something idk what but its saying something
Ppl on here always love to underestimate him. Even prior to DS2 release a lot of users on here believed he wasnt gonna sell over 100k but instead sell around 50k like honest

It’s like folks make these threads for the sole purpose of making them about The Weeknd lol

It's annoying that they removed the bundles
It’s really dumb honestly. Like if a fan is willing to spend $50 on a shirt with a digital album added why shouldn’t it count? No one’s forcing people to buy these things lmao

i agree bundles should count, but i do like that they made stuff have to ship to count. cause alotta artists hoard preorders and dont ship s*** forever lol

Because Travis didn't ship merchandise for 6 months to inflate the numbers
Blame the Kardashian clan

the way to get pure sales up is boxsets

Weeknd is a pop artist now, pop doesn’t benefit from streaming first week numbers half as much as hip-hop does (besides the few exceptions).
Even Bieber’s last album only did 154K first week, but it was one of the biggest albums of 2021 by year’s end. And Ed Sheeran’s newest album only did 118K first week, but he’s still one of the biggest artists in the world.
Pop benefits mostly off of physical and merch sales, but because of Billboard changing its’ rules, they don’t count towards first week numbers because they don’t count until the week that they ship now, and Weeknd didn’t have any physicals or merch shipping first week with Dawn FM.
Dawn FM and DS4Ever dropped on the same day, and although Gunna outsold Weeknd in the first week, Dawn passed a billion Spotify streams last month and DS4 still hasn’t. Pop is about the long game, not the first week numbers.
Dawn passed a billion worldwide streams not US
DS4 has still been outdoing it week to week streaming wise - Apr 30, 2022·1 replyHi Roller
