In 2022 that’s not necessary whatsoever

400 flat

I could be wrong but a 2xCD was 2 units cus of the recommended retail price for 2 discs in 1, so double discs often went double platinum or platinum with ease, although Dipset - Diplomatic Immunity only went gold :(

So a 2xLP vinyl should be more than one unit since it costs more than a 1xCD imo

328k

Hits sell records. It's always been like that. After Hours had some big ones too.

I'm glad he's dropping Friday though, can't wait.

You don’t need a big pre-album single in 2022 if you’re already an established star. CLB dropped with no singles and sold 600K

Drake dropped them in 2020 lol multiple ones.

there are only 3 artists that applies to lol. drake, adele, taylor. singles are very important

No he didn't lol. That album ain't even top 20 for first week streaming

None of them were on the album though so that’s irrelevant

Em can also do pretty good numbers without a hit these days.

ablum out?

not single song from CLB was dropped before the album lol. what happens to drake doesnt apply to Abel

I mean he spent a year building hype by dropping hits.

yes

You really think Weeknd needs a big smash hit in 2022 to move units?

Not saying he’s gonna sell 600K but he’s definitely gonna sell really well

Abel had SYT and TMB. both were hits. MTAF was a WW hit. He has hype bruh

No, he dropped a single and announced the album was coming out late summer 2020 and then pushed it back twice before it came out a year later. Those singles were irrelevant to CLB by the time the project ended up coming out.

Ooo yeah that could make more sense.

MTAF is not a hit lol. TMB has been forgotten by the general public.

Yeah, I know. I loved After Hours.

Just kinda wish he had dropped a hit to build some hype, or promoted Take My Breath a bit more since I think it's pretty good.
