You'd have to be mentally ill to disagree with that tbh. It's one of the worst rollouts of all time and i'm sure even you can agree.

Sacrificed arbitrary numbers for an improved artistic experience

That's what tf is up

except Drake has never delayed a project's release because the songs he dropped for it are flopping, but yeah sure

The album hasn’t been delayed dumbass, it was given a 6-month window since the pre-orders went live.

2/3 of the singles aren’t even flopping, you just ride d***

“One of the worst rollouts of all time”

In the past two months alone we’ve gotten:

• album cover + title announcement
• livestream concert of the album era debut
• three singles
• three music videos
• four additional concerts where new songs were performed and debuted
• tie-in film officially announced
• and the Apple Vision Pro event releases this month as well

But sure it’s one of the “worst rollouts of all time” because mangotflu on irrelevant music forum thinks the songs are flopping

A maniac just got elected into office two days ago, nobody gives a flying f*** about a Weeknd release date right now or any other music release date for that matter. Read the room

Bro is secretly a drake stan pretending to be a weeknd fan it all makes sense now lol

the 6 month window was a legal thing lmao. Not The Weeknd being like "guys its gonna take 6 months"

its very clear the plan in sept was to drop by the end of this year, and the plan has changed. No artist drops preorders this long before the album with no release date announced.

Yeah you're d***riding.

The only thing that matters is the album hasn't dropped and there's no release date.

If you genuinely agree with taking money from fans for the album & then not giving them a release date for what they bought a whole 2 months later, there's something wrong w you.

I've always been clear i'm a drake stan lol

him/taylor/arguably tyler are some of the only artists that are fully only about the music and no nonsense. I also s*** on Drake as much as the weeknd lol, just not in this thread in the past 6 months

It’s not a legal thing are you dumb

Artists drop vinyl pre-orders without exact windows all the time

Also the album can literally still release in November, idk why you’re acting like the month is over or even halfway over

Oh well !

yes, it is a legal thing
name me an artist that's done this then

And when the album drops this month will you admit you sounded like an idiot today?

It’s not a legal thing, Frank used to do it on his website.

You don’t HAVE to legally put a shipping timeframe. It’s the right thing to do, but there is no legal obligation or law that requires artists to do so for a pre-order item.

Also, a lot of artists do the “ships upon album release” thing without an official timeframe. Kanye did that with Vultures and is doing it right now with Bully

The Weeknd's last 3 albums have all been announced on the same day he dropped a single

he has never dropped an album in the same month he announced it

so thinking he'd drop it nov just seems crazy at this point.

Why are you lying

Dawn literally dropped the week it was officially announced, and the release date didn’t come with a single

Also a little further back, but the date for BBTM wasn’t announced with a single

Lmao fair. I forgot about that travesty.

You should be hoping he learned from that, but I guess if you want another performance like that november is a good guess.

You act like November ends next week

He can easily announce a late November drop anytime within the next 10 days, or the same time the Vision Pro event drops, which should be the second week of November

That Eternal Atake debuted only 2 spots higher than A Great Chaos did a year ago in New Zealand

I just don't get why you'd open preorders so early, drop 3 singles, then announce the album less than 3 weeks before it drops, I don't think it's enough for an artist like The Weeknd, but mayb ill be wrong this time.

Drake/PND are also being weird about their album so I actually think it's related to The Weeknd's. They'll wanna drop around The weeknd meanwhile I doubt The Weeknd wants to drop around them.

They said fall, so they have 3 weeks left. The sales comparisions of those 2 projects is probably gonna be 10-20 pages here lmao

Damn Uzi flopped

Notice how the so-called "biggest rap hit of the decade" is missing from this list?

Dumb as s***
