Album is expected to crash out 2nd week... it's doing very bad on streams, but is mostly selling thanks to bundles

260k in bundles vs 120k in streams, that's insane lol

That's because music is so ephemeral and fungible nowadays. That's why the past two music videos of his for this album were advertising shyt from Apple

Not that I am complaining, but not sure why anyone cares album sales/streams anymore. It doesn't really have any meaning. Or it doesn't have the same resonance of 20 years ago. Music isn't made to be sold, it's made to be streamed, the structure at a base level has changed. This isn't an album to stream, it's one to play all the way through, which no one is going to do. A lot of people won't like this.

This is obviously Weeknd transitioning, or trying to, into a movie star. Or at least a C list actor. the label doesn't want to FLOP, but just like movies/streaming on Netflix, what does a flop even look like? They will let him spend stupid amounts on album and PR and marketing, because he's a huge touring artist.

it's also a testament to his artistic vision, he could easily put a much more accessible pop album, but he does some dark, laborious look at fame and stardom, with 22 tracks, sound effects, interludes, meta song concepts. I don't think it works 100%, but I found what I liked about it.
