    Literally not

    Literally has 80 million monthly listeners on spotify vs lil babys 25

    My Turn outsold

    Everyone listening to Blinding lights are fans of the single they are not Weeknd fans and the numbers reflect that

    Its gonna be like Doja Cat, not the biggest first week but consistently selling as the weeks go by

    They’re going to revise this prediction to 250k - 350k later this week. I’ve seen this s*** happen too many times before. 2nd week sales are going to be crazy too. Quote me on it.

    Not a chance lol if anything it’ll move up to 180K

    Surprise releases came along way since Beyoncé. We dropping singles and album titles months before surprise releases fellas?

    Not saying he needed a whole traditional rollout

    People barely do that but with drake for example you had literally a year of teasing and pushing release dates, beefs with ye, artwork release etc thats how rollouts work in 2022

    Same with a YE for example who had no “rollout” but was streaming high profile listening parties and teasing release dates

    Abel gave like 4 day notice lol

    If baby tried doing it how abel did he’d sell like 90k MAX optimistically

    I think you missed my point, it wasn’t a surprise release there was a single dropped months ago along with the title. There was a rollout just not as big as his last
