    The Weeknd has released new bundles for Blinding Lights that'll count from today against upper week Monday's chart. I called this This is so sad and pathetic. He also has almost several dozen new bundles for his album.

    Peep everything at shop.theweeknd.com

    a week too late

    still nice to see his true colors though

    Drake's still got the #1 debut on lock, though, so no worries on that end.

    I don't even think he'll be able to go back to #1 by next week. If Toosie Slide keeps rising well on radio and remains steady on streaming, he won't be able to beat it. Blinding Lights will soon peak on radio.

    Yes his team probably knew they were getting blocked this week bundles or not.

    But he could go back to #1 wit them next week

    It all depends. He dipped more in streams this week and he'll dip even more next week. He'll soon peak on radio and Toosie Slide is just getting started on both fronts. Maybe next week will be closer, but there's no assurance he can take back the #1 spot. He's been releasing new bundles for Blinding Lights and the album every week.

    Does Weeknd just plan on releasing bundles for After Hours for the rest of the year? We made fun of Travis for doing this but this feels next level

    Imagine the s*** Drake would take if he did this... They would be calling him desperate and discounting any sales he had

    It looks desperate for him to be a “superstar” he shouldn’t have to go to these extremes to get the numbers up Travis was tame compared to this.

    I truly hate bundles. Truly. Mind blown that Billboard lets it rock. I hope what Weeknd is doing is all in vain and Toosie holds firm for at least a couple weeks.
    Eventually, I think all artists will utilize bundles in some capacity. Hate it.

    Holding out hope that billboard sets some knew guidelines. This has zero to do with music and if Drake bundled ovo clothing or Kanye bundled his Yeezy brand it wouldn't even be fair to other artists.

    Nah if they wanted to sabotage Drake, they wouldve released them yesterday at a discount. Thats how Billie Eilish dethroned Old Town Road. This is a new week, everything is fair game

    Agree. And the minute Drake does it, he’s hitting a milli+ and all hell will break loose and ppl will be sure to differentiate what his merch did vs the actual music. Yet today, Travis is looked at as a 500K+ artist when he technically isn’t.
    Selling merch is cool asf, bundling is not. It is what it is though.

    All this talk about Drake being above using bundles will soon start to look stupid. He better use bundles when it's time to drop his next album. He'll just be playing himself if he doesn't.

    I think billboard is too fearful of blowback from labels for some reason,but they're losing credibility anyway. Who cares if a particular artist boycotts an award show or calls you out on twitter? I think that if they put their foot down back in 18, it wouldn't have been such a big deal.

    I don't mind them in regards to get the merch out to fans because hey, who doesn't like merch, but after 100 different options it just looks a little bad

    Also it helps people still obtain physical copies since they are becoming harder to get

    The Weeknd is so pathetic, he had to use bundles to score his first #1 in the UK with Blinding Lights.
