    Yeah idk somethings very wrong there lmao. I've watched a few vids of his tours and it just seems... boring. He's just on the stage slurring his words with a few dudes around him playing guitar. I guess these days people expect more of a show like Drake/Taylor/Weeknd have been doing with the set designs etc

    Exactly like ppl struggling to get by now so you gotta put on a show to motivate ppl to come

    The handicap given to rappers is crazy, now they're too ugly to fill out venues?

    Ok bout what about The Weeknd or drake? They attract a younger audience and still able to sell out arenas and stadiums for multiple days

    Both are attractive, always in the spotlight and still in their "peaks" (especially The Weeknd)

    I don't think Abel can pull this off again in a few years but we will see

    With weeknd this his first stadium tour so ofc it’s smaller then a Taylor and Ed who been selling out satdiums since 2018. And drake hasn’t done a stadium tour yet

    yeah he'll still grow a bit but it's definitely impossible for weeknd to hit ed/taylor levels cause of the type of music

    its just like how Olivia Rodrigo's tour for her new album will defiintely be bigger than Lil Baby's, it'll probaby be Travis Scott levels already

    I think Abel might’ve crossed over into legacy status after this tour. By that I mean there will always be a large touring audience available to him for as long as he chooses to be a performing musician

    I explained my point poorly lmao but my point summed up is that there's different touring ceilings for each type of music an artist makes. That's why I disagree that it should be used so strongly in a "who's the biggest artist" debate, cause it'll always favor artists that make global hits, rather than artists that have hit albums

    Like obviously The Weeknd has waaay more "pop" friendly songs than someone like Lil Baby. I think that's the main thing that matters for touring. This why artists like Lil Wayne and Nicki have always struggled with doing large tours meanwhile Harry Styles sells out stadiums globally for fun. I'd bet Harry Styles most recent tour sold more tickets than Nicki+Lil Wayne's entire tour history combined lmao

    Harry is still on arenas, and he definitely did sell more tickets than them but that’s mostly because his Love On Tour was a total of 169 shows.

    I think you have a valid point where you say someone’s touring ceiling depends on the type of music they make, but that just applies to streaming and sales numbers in general as well.

    Certain artists will never have streaming or sales numbers as high as other artists because of the type of music they make. That’s just the way the world is, it’s not specific to touring.

    His US tour alone was bigger than any Lil Wayne/Nicki US Tour ever tho I Think. I think that says enough about this lol

    On his entire tour setlist, the only family friendly songs are Can’t Feel My Face (which is about cocaine), Out of Time, I Feel It Coming, Die for You, Save Your Tears, and Blinding Lights.

    That’s 6/29 songs.

    50,000 people are not going to a two hour stadium show to hear 6/29 songs.

    obv not all 50k but there’s a good chance half of them are, Steve Lacy was selling out shows and people only knew one song

    Even if you only go to a Weeknd show for the hits, he still has so many.
