looks like this is quite a sensitive subject for you. didn’t mean to hurt your feelings lil bro

“Not as big as we think he is” am I right @mangotflu

Timeless 📉

Y’all are genuinely obsessed

thoughts?

how is it doing better than any other song he’s ever released on streaming but still flopping on the charts? lol. low radio play maybe?

i read somewhere this is the strongest top 10 in ages.
its the same top 10 for 6 months. no new song is staying for more than a week

I thought you said streams don't matter, now they do when they suit ur narrative

Imagine Eminem/Mariah putting out an album (dawn fm) & then 2 singles (ditf/timeless) 2 years later & it all doing this badly in their main market (US) back in their peaks. It never would have happened. Not sure why you keep coping

If you wanna just admit that the stars of today are not even half of what stars were pre 2010 then I'll get it tbh, but until you guys understand how different The Weeknd's success is compared to actual stars from 20 years ago, i'm not dropping this lol.

this even goes for Taylor Swift to a lesser degree btw. Taylor has not put out a single song that everyone knows in like 10 years.

the last time we saw 2000s type dominance from an artist was Drake with Views & then Scorpion just 2 years later

So The Weeknd wasn’t dominant in 2020 and 2021

Okay man keep changing the narrative

AH was a dominant album, the issue is Dawn FM was a major flop, my argument this whole time is you can't be an artist that big yet have a proper studio album do that badly.

Honestly, Nevermind out now!

Hilarious that an album getting almost 3 million daily streams almost three years post-release is considered a "flop"

Did it underperform? Absolutely.

But calling it a flop is a massive stretch

Yup & at least that is easily excusable since it was a surprise drop & a completely different style of music

Man If any of those 80s/90s/00s superstars released an album with no #1s, everyone would be calling it a flop, lets be real

If we wanna just face the facts that standards have changed, that's fine, but you gotta accept it

Dawn FM is the poppiest album he's ever dropped

Beyonce didn't have a single lead #1 between Sasha Fierce and Renaissance. Were all of her 2010s albums flops?

Did Dawn FM commercially underperform? Yes.

Was Dawn FM a flop? No.

Some of y'all live in extremes man

Yawn fm came and went my guy

The album is getting more daily streams than some 2024 releases

Lemme guess which countries, cuz I sure as hell don’t hear nobody talking bout it in the states.

Do you know all 330 million people in the United States?

If you release an album which is literally less than a third popular of your previous one, how isn't that a flop?

If this new album does Dawn FM numbers then it's safe to say AH was just a complete outlier & not representative of The Weeknd's popularity at all

After Hours's popularity was boosted by the ridiculous success of Blinding Lights.

That is a once-in-a-career type song, no artist would be able to replicate its' success

The dude has multiple Diamond records, sells out stadiums on a regular, but apparently After Hours wasn't representative of his success

Did this guy personally wrong some of y'all man what is it

Don’t see one American city in the top 5 all foreign people he’s only big international
