MAZDA6only impressive first week from Abel was MDM, tbh
- ~ 170k first week
- 5 songs only
- suprise EP
- lead single slow as s***
- dark sound comeback after two hugely pop commercial albums
- no gimmicks/bundles at that time
feels like his fanbase is divided into 2 groups: the mixtape loyalists and the pop fans
MDM-style music seems to be something most of his audience connects with, which is why it performed so well for an EP

iHypemost the sales were preorders prior to release

Crazy W for Weeknd! It’s official now he’s on a different level compared to Drake and it's not even close.
HUT moved nearly 3x the numbers of Drake’s last weedplate, damn. Drake ain't even the biggest name in Toronto anymore let alone the US smh.
Hockey stans @thegreatdivine @quadra @mangotflu @Wally3500 will cope as usual. Divine looney was hating on Weeknd since last summer and just took a HUGE L lol.
First they hated on Travis then Bad Bunny (didn't work) and now Weeknd just handed them another L.
Drake is officially #2 in his own city lol. And while everyone else is pulling record streams Drake is the only one struggling. That’s what happens when karma catches up.
Stopped reading after the first 2 characters. Too woke

Mafia BossI think someone said it's lower than Dawn FM and After Hours.
A decent amount lower in the US
A decent amount higher globally (in the phillipines and zimbabwe)its simply because:
1) The Weeknd has lost footing in the US and many other countries in recent years (his style of music is just not resonating as well as it used to)
2) Spotify is now huge in many countries where it wasn't big a few years ago, where they absolutely love pop

It’s definitely impressive to sell that many physicals. But it makes sense to look at the SEA units as well. Streaming is by far the main way that this music is actually being consumed

Testing my theory that these global weeknd numbers are almost entirely due to the new "unlocked" countries
Spotify Daily Day 1s:
HUT:
USA: 18.3m
Canada: 2.9m
United Kingdom: 3.15m
Germany:1.98mAfter Hours:
USA: 24.5m
Canada: 3.7m
United Kingdom: 3.7m
Germany: 2.7mSo HUT performed quite a bit worse than AH in all 4 of some of his major markets, especially considering 6 less tracks. However he made up for it because of the new unlocked markets in Asia and South America
On the flip side to defend The Weeknd, this is exactly why Die With a Smile has destroyed Blinding Lights in streams. For some reason people like @fader are ignoring this. Comparing global pop numbers now vs years ago is basically useless

Southeast Asia is still booming and if a pop song connects there, 10M+ daily streams will be the norm going forward.

A better way to compare performance now v years ago is chart position imo
HUT top 5 songs globally:
10th, 14th, 24th, 59th, 62nd. (avg 33rd)AH top 5 songs globally after 7days:
1st, 9th, 20th, 33rd, 40th. (avg 20th) - Feb 8, 2025·1 replyhttps://twitter.com/StatsSpotify/status/1874686986126278999https://twitter.com/StatsSpotify/status/1874689870578467085Kalmanta
