The CB dikk riding can't possibly be anything other than blackmail or checks from the label?
Why would you get shadow banned for 6 hours on a release after you dropped like 7 albums without any shadow ban and 13 years has gone since they tried to cancel you for cancellable offenses.
Why the hell would all the major platforms get together to coordinate a 6 hour on a dude who did approximately the same numbers last time (adjusted for what the Drake single probably stood for). Also why would his label give him a good deal, then try to fukk him over (for 6 hours again) as if they don't get a share of his sales?
Chris team or the intern or whoever fukked up and didn't post it on time, probably cause he was adding songs to the last minute.
And that probably had zero impact, one of his best first week numbers only had a 4-day fw. Dudes really dropped all types of conspiracy theories, label theory, consumer theory, psychology, technological aspects of streaming services, the concept of time and on but not once did they stop to think that maybe he isn't generating more buzz than that.
Weeknd did only 70k more with big singles, big promo, released on time, best reviewed album of his career and he did like 450-500k fw just when covid started.
