Definitely

Bruno has released so many timeless hits that are still played on the radio

same !

He’s what the Weeknd wants to be, and I see Weeknd fans calling Abel a legend...

Goat

Never sacrificed his artistic integrity but every project since Views has been unnecessarily padded because more streaming

Yes

He was the Michael Jackson of the 2010's, unless you look at numbers the only artist that did better was Ed Sheeran but he didn't have the feeling.

Crazy how Drake stans are so insecure that they feel the need to bring him up in threads about sales and success but as soon as he's mentioned in a Kanye or Pusha T thread its "Who even mentioned Drake?? Rent free "

I never seen bait like this before

Bruno may be the closest thing we get to Michael tbh

Well yeah... people don't normally tell the truth if they're trying to bait.

I don't look at excel charts to realize who's a legend

I don't think he's a legend but I like his hits

This is some crackhead s*** lmao. The nerve to call my response bait.

MJ's main historical point is his CULTURAL impact. His outfits, his controversies, his appearances, everything was a spectacle and widely relevant in culture.

Bruno is mainly played on radio... and that's where his cultural impact ends. Nobody cares about his name, who he's dating, what he's wearing, his performances aren't talked about everywhere, etc.

Please get out of here with this nonsense. Stop calling every male singer who gets hits for a few years straight "the closest thing to MJ"

Phil Collins is someone who had mega hits, but wasn't culturally as impactful nor a huge name outside their music. That is what Bruno is closest to.

Jesus no

Notice how it's only Weeknd fans call him a legend and bring up corny MJ or Prince comparisons. All of them weren't even alive so they have no clue how big they really were and how Weeknd isn't.

Ed Sheeran is so boring and the singer-songwriter forte he took while also being a pop star makes people think he's this great writer but when you compare him to other singer-songwriters he's just fine

The Weeknd is a legend for making legendary music / changing R&B

3/3 on classic albums and the biggest song of the last decade

So yes

is this a set up post or are you actually oblivious

sales aside he's also a top tier musician, singer, performer

dudes been performing since he was a kid

skip to 3:02 to see dat RUN doe

He’s an incredibly talented writer.

Thinking Out Loud wouldn’t be as enduring without the sincerity of his words.

If you compare him to Dylan sure but who does compare
