ahh yes, spotify, the only streaming platform in the world

the irony to talk about being dense

$$$U is doing more units a week after 6 months than FATD was after 6 months. Go google it.

I never once said the album would be bigger than After Hours

I said the album wouldn’t have a crazy high first week and would do 20-30K a week for about a year, and I’ve already acknowledged I was wrong about Dancing in the Flames. And?

What does this have to do with you denying that people were calling NOKIA a worldwide hit in here five months ago?

In the US only, who cares. Drake is literally the MCU at this point, still doing okay numbers in America, and flopping internationally

Only on KTT can you be wrong about a thing, admit you were wrong about said thing, and then have people bring that thing up as some sort of gotcha months after the fact

The reason we’re continuing to bring up NOKIA not being a longterm success is because the Drake stans in here still won’t admit it

as opposed to the weeknd, flopping everywhere?

Hurry Up Tomorrow is currently pulling in almost 2M more daily streams than $$$4U on Spotify

If he’s flopping everywhere, so is Drake

Those indonesia streams are really going hard huh

He's reaching Pitbull status

Xenophobia because you don’t like a music artist?

How you think America is the center of the world and you don’t even live here

Mind you he's Taiwanese acting like this

That nigga wake up every day wishing he was born African-American

Nah it happens to every artist when they fall off and become a legacy act
Pitbull, Nicki, Coldplay, Ed Sheeran. Now THe Weeknd

Is it ever gonna happen to Drake? He’s been a legacy artist for like 3 years now

Probably after iceman yes

weeknd lost it because he intentionally stopped being culturally relevant. drake doesnt have that issue yet but will after this

They def said Nokia was a global hit lol. And yeah it got memed as "worldwide smash" or whatever because that's pretty funny

Just because an album sells 2k more than another (within the low 20k range) more than 6 months into release, does not mean it is somehow completely outperforming another in the long term that released months before, especially when said older album sold 3x the amount in the first few months of it being out - in the case of GNX

In the case of fatd

Bring up the full year of sales for that album and point to the one that has the bigger number

If you're unable to do that, then please listen to your parents and go outside

Are some of you willfully obtuse? Because it really does seem like it

Not sure why you're getting upset about this, I simply stated it'll have similar longterm performance to gnx. Which so far, it looks like it will. I never said $$$U will outperform it

ahh we have another person in the thread who can't read

Post the receipts then?

I'm not gonna go through 100s of pages just for a screenshot and then for someone with mental illness to say someone else has a mental illness

Not Like Us is statistically his second biggest chart hit after Luther.

He definitely said the US streaming numbers of the album would be better as time passed because the music would connect to people as time went on. I remember that.

Do you think Spotify is the only metric to use to judge the success of an album?

Now no one should care about US numbers because the Weeknd's last two albums have flopped generationally in the US. You really can't make this s*** up

Talking like the charts we all discuss in this thread and on this site aren't the US charts

Why wasn't the same thing said during the After Hours era when Blinding Lights and Save Your Tears were dominating?
