she dropped another bundle? damn

No

Short n Sweet 200k SEA (12 songs)
Harry's House 191k SEA (13 songs)
After Hours 170k SEA (14 songs)
Dawn FM 134k SEA (16 songs)

I'm sure you can at least admit that The Weeknd should be doing closer to Harry/Sabrina, if not a decent amount more, right?

Taylor Swift sucks man

20-30K? That’s what you’re tripping about?

Bruv Sabrina was a nobody 18 months ago, and her last album did 50% more streams first weeks than The Weeknd's lol. a dude you keep saying is bigger than Kendrick even. S*** doesn't make sense.

Well, yes, Sabrina had a crazy hot year.

Not sure what that has to do with The Weeknd. Her 2024 was his 2015

Michael Jackson is the biggest music icon EVER like there is no competition at all

Taylor Swift is just the closest we seen to an icon but she still is faaaaaar away from getting to MJ level

MJ is the only artist in the world if any of his songs starts playing on the radio, NO ONE is going to switch channel

Everyone and their mother loved MJ and his music

Basically it's all women in the world and soyboys that enjoy Taylor Swift but they are also huge demographic of the world and she is very internationally loved

what’s with you and the weeknd? i stg every time i open this thread you’re dissing him 😭

this is my first time talkin about him in weeks hahaha

Nigga is obsessed

and Harry? I don't really understand how you can not think these numbers are weirdly low lol. they almost seem fake to me. I don't really understand how you can get 10s of billions of streams a year but they don't translate into people thirsting for new music. It doesn't compute to me at all

Juice almost doing 100k is impressive

Well that’s what happens when your music keeps people satisfied for years. Weeknd has a new song crossing a billion streams every other day

Adele was and still is bigger than Taylor Swift.

Bigger songs (and it's not even close), bigger albums, organic success and generally more popular with the average person too

The other one just has a very big and loud fanbase

Addele’s last album did 800k first week and then fell off the charts, basically got no streams. She can’t be compared to the current TS, She got them old folks buying her stuff is all

This was back in 2019, before Folklore dropped. She's top 3 by now.

Still bigger idccc

She's ubiquitous

Bro it's just the back catalog

You’re right, most of it is

MJ was so big at a time when there was not a lot of mediums to consume content , so dominating those the way he did with his one in a lifetime talent grew him to a super stardom no one will ever touch

Taylor is big but there's just so much choice now, so many ways to consume media, so many niches it's hard to be that big. Also MJ's music more was universal whereas her is more catered for a specific audience

Amazing what she has accomplished and her next tour will probably even bigger but nothing will ever compare to MJ

She absolutely is at number one now, the GOAT list measure points racked up by having an album or single sitting at #1-100, and she’s spent:

50 weeks at #1 on the albums chart,

15 weeks #1 at singles chart

60 weeks on the top 10s of the single chart

And endless weeks on the top 10s of the albums chart since that came out.

But also, Weeknd’s “flop” album is doing just under the amount of daily streams that Drake’s highest daily streamed album right now is, btw @Ya_Boy_Ace
