Huh? He announced All Red was dropping like two hours before it came out

Misjudged a bit, but like Divine said a few posts up, his singles generally don’t debut super super high. I just assumed it would due to the machine behind it.

But the song has only climbed the AM charts since it released, so I think this will be another slow burn single for him.

Carti’s songs usually fall off quickly as well

His fans even thought nothing is dropping lol they were hating on him because he was only announcing the album first

He's literally the biggest global hitmaker of this decade so far??

He has been constantly getting hits since he started the AH era in late 2019

The most recent ones are One Of The Girls and Popular

You niggas are insane

Y’all literally made threads on here saying Weeknd couldn’t sell out stadiums in 2022, and you’re trying to say he hasn’t grown commercially since 2019?

They also gonna talk Carti down when he's doing crazy streaming numbers with his next album, s*** is insane

Also, he dropped the record the right way, straight to DSPs on Friday at midnight. The first 3 100 Gigs songs dropped 4 days after being available to listen to/download for free at CDQ. The second 100 Gigs songs dropped 8 days after being available to listen to/download for free at CDQ lol.

Also, it's such a silly argument to have. Carti is just now reaching this new peak, thanks to his rabid fanbase but his biggest album did 100k first week and he's 29 years old. At 29, Drake had Thank Me Later, Take Care, Nothing Was the Same, IYRTITL, WATTBA and Views under his belt, all released to massive commercial success. He also had multiple sold-out arena tours under his belt as well.

Niggas can be happy for Carti's success without trying to s*** on Drake's because Drake has been there and done all this s*** at the highest level for the longest time.

Niggas woke up to hate that’s crazy

Pretty sure thegreatdivine is some kind of bot these days, no way she has nothing to do the whole day posting in like 10 different forums the same stuff

the weeknd s*** gets even more insane lmao, this is what I mean, for a superstar selling out stadiums this is just f***ing weird

he has grown a bit, just nowhere near 5x lol

I'm very confident he coulda done stadiums after Starboy, just like Drake coulda done them after Views

no s***, he can keep making pop slop & india, brazil and switzerland will keep lapping it up

when it comes to the US, they're clearly just not as into his music as you guys pretend they are

Number 1 on Apple Music and Spotify. Carti hitting superstar status after this album.

I’ll take the L on this one, my initial prediction was a bit misguided.

Looking back at it, none of his singles besides Heartless debuted super high on the Hot 100.

Starboy debuted at #40 and is now one of his biggest singles ever.

I’m not sure why, but he’s just a slow burn artist when it comes to singles

Well, like I said he's a global superstar, not a local one

unAbel cant catch a break, man

This is definitely not that good lol no need to lie here but whats wrong with the people nowadays, why are they pushing mid ass artists like Tate?

This song is really nothing special at all lmao

It's f***ing weird what type of songs are popular in the US this year, something is wrong with that

he still has to put out good music.
only taylor swift can fart on the mic and go #1

People here have this weird obsession with big debuts, which is just a product of the streaming era

A low debut doesn’t mean anything when it comes to him. Blinding Lights fell to #52 in its’ second week. Starboy debuted at #40.

Yeah I’m not sure why the first week matters so much to some, especially with artists who have proven to release songs that do well over time (like Weeknd or Bruno)

Remember the "King of the Fall " memes after Blinding Lights's drop off

Niggas was so excited about that song potentially flopping
