In your example, are you saying the pre-streaming era would be steroid numbers? :dwillhuh:
As far as dollars grossed...yes?

Show me a litany of artists making money not touring that are not named Drake, Taylor Swift, Adele and Billie Eilish

We’re talking sales numbers, units sold, product moved. Not talking about money.

What is product moved in 2020 i guess is the point Im trying to make. No one own's anyones product unless they own the physical copy or considers themselves stakeholders in a streaming economy, which in today's measure is a loose concept at best.. There is no middle ground now

These jabronis need to realise that there's levels to this.:gucci:

Climax came out when usher was already a 20 year vet in the game. Usher been singing falsetto back when weeknd was snot nosed kid sitting in some school cafeteria in Canada. Let's not start this who influenced who game.

The weeknd is essentially a one trick pony musically & isn't even half the vocalist he is.

Btw usher is the true protege of Mj

Let his goofy xo fans tell it he's mj reincarnated.

These new nikkas come out the woodwork & start saying any ole thing. Whole ass clowns I'm telling you man:smh:

To my knowledge usher was not doing that dreamy synth slow rnb that Weeknd was popping with at the time before that song

the dude who produced the song literally admits he was inspired by weeknd’s music breh. I know ppl have their favorites but let’s try to use rational thought

Diplo Acknowledges Weeknd’s Influence on Usher’s ‘Climax’ – Variety
Well if Diplo literally says it was in his head while producing it, then why’s anyone still arguing lol. It’s over. Doesn’t even sound like Weeknd was taking shots. People being super feminine.

I listed due tot the high/falsetto pitches. But, neither does The Weekend's song. I am trying to understand how they are similar.
I wasn’t talking about usher’s voice per se. I was referring to the production and structure of the vocals. There’s nothing really original about weeknd’s voice outside of the processing
