The weekend 1st week sales are 450k, with 130 from streaming and 350 from physical sales(bundles) :dead:

Make no mistake this is the 2nd flop in a row for the weekend, not a single song debut on the top 10,

it’s getting harder and harder for black artist to maintain in the mainstream even if they cater to white people like The Weeknd


Travis got a number 1 song with bundles that fell out of the top 50 the next week

Travis Scott’s ‘4X4’ Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100

Why won’t they stop bundling all toget her? They did enforce it until Nicki and Travis cried about it
It’s weird.

I still didn’t listen to weekends album.

I feel like he’s more popular than other parts of the country instead of the USA now of course he still super popular but everybody has that time where they’re not at the top anymore

he’s ignored his base for too long. . been too focused the last few years on trying to shed The Weeknd character . He’s ignored hip hop r and b for years to try to act , do lana del Rey songs etc I’ve seen thf Weeknd in cocncert three times ( and I hate concerts ) helll he has Travis opening for him when I saw him the first time . I wish he did real interviews instead of hiding behind his persona.

He’s a fakkit that has zero personality so he resorts to acting all mysterious and hard to see and pause touch to give off this false mystique or allure if you will.

So I assume you admit GNX is a smash hit based on these metrics?

Great number for Weeknd. Fans that buy your shyt - in this case physical albums and stadium tickets - is the cheat code. And I doubt he’s tripping over streams as one of the top 3 highest streamed artists in the world.

I am surprised I haven’t heard any of these songs anywhere tho. I’ll have to peep the album soon.

I liked his last two albums. I don’t watch videos much or even pay attention to his interviews tbh.

He ran to Carti after the Max Martin song flopped

If the weeknd can’t makes music that can reach other demos than you know all other male R&B artist are cooked
Travis is the poster child of this. All his numbers are cooked.
Everything Travis does is artificially enhanced. We actually have no idea how big Travis is

How long y’all thought he was going to make them mixtape tracks? He’d be Party or Ye Ali if he kept that up :manny:



I actually thought the music he did for his HBO show was fire..

He’s completely abandoned his core fanbase. Weeknd is pretty flimsy when it comes to black culture anyway
