the next day he lowered his projections to 300-320 million streams which was in line with HDD’s initial projection of 250k SEA but now that tweet is gone from his profile
i think he and HDD just assumed the album would continue to crash after the second day decline but instead it stabilized, still funny that he just deleted the follow up projection to make it seem like he had it right all along
mangotfluthis'll make people mad but how the f*** can CArti do these types of numbers but the weeknd doesn't even get half of them?
this isnt even a weeknd hate post, i seriously don't understand any of it

Manufactured pop slop vs genuine hype

March 2025 and we still aren’t understanding that rap streams better than pop first week
Gaga has one of the biggest songs in the world right now and even her album only did 108M streams first week
Stop expecting pop artists to put up insane first week streams, it’s literally so rare in pop

Op predicted this album would crash and predictions would go down and the opposite happened.

No it does not prove it wrong.

Two Taylor albums
One country album (that was 36 songs)
One R&B album (I consider SOS pop but I’m aware most would disagree with that)
One Post Malone album, you can argue that’s a rap or a pop album
And the rest are literally rap albums
Pop albums debuting with that many streams is EXTREMELY rare

He is not one of 5 artists doing stadiums man what
Gaga does stadiums and her album debuted with 108M streams.
Bruno does stadiums as well and he’s never cleared 300K first
Pop numbers are a way different game than rap numbers

yeah man there’s a difference from buying or streaming an album then paying almost $150 for nose bleeds

Carti has a strong core fanbase while Abel has more 'fake' pop fans
Weeknd is also a different genre, where sales in the long run are more important compared to fw
