Doesn't prove much. Could still be the case that Drake streams are more concentrated in the west while Abels are more spread out. Drake is the top streamed artist in the biggest music market (U.S), so he gonna have a high position regardless.

shaleiroseBecause it’s more often than not that people grow up and prefer the music they discovered during their adolescence. Most people who discovered Abel through Trilogy were in their teens / early 20s. Not hard to connect those dots.
Ehh, i’ve seen a lot of new weeknd fans discover trilogy and say it has some of his best work on as well. I don’t think it’s just that
Jan 5, 2023·4 repliesshaleiroseThe blatant ignoring of After Hours’s influence is crazy

_ _Ye, and it was said to be thanks not a shot. Weeknd and Drake literally could’ve not have interacted back then and TC and HOB would be just as good music wise. They both benefited by the publicity of sharing each other’s credits
I won't say TC wouldn't be as good as it was if it didn't have those Abel references, but they weren't complete songs. I think HOB was gonna be it no matter what

Name "everybody".
And don't mention Dua Lipa's Future Nostalgia album because Abel didn't influence s*** about that album.
Don't Start Now was the lead single off that album and it dropped in October 2019, before Abel dropped anything off After Hours and her album dropped a week after After Hours.

Are you delusional?
Imagine denying the obvious and overt 80s revival from 2020-now that started after Abel and Dua dropped those singles at the end of 2019
