PND isn't good, I don't get why people hype him at all.

Dude can't sing

That P3 album is good though.

Bruno outsold Weeknd with physical sales

My nikka Abel flopped 365k including streams that's low for an album this expensive I'm not even counting marketing

No he didn't
24 k magic:
The album debuted at number 2 on the Billboard 200, and sold 231,000 album-equivalent units (194,000 in pure sales plus 37,000 track equivalent and streaming equivalent albums

Starboy

According to BuzzAngleMusic/HDD, “Starboy” sold approximately 227,396 pure US copies during the November 25-December 1 tracking week. The addition of TEA (track sales/10) and SEA (track streams/1500) yields an opening week consumption tally of 366,309 units.

Its been almost two weeks of playing nothing but this.... This album has some serious legs/replay value. I think that's owed in large part to it being 18 tracks. I'll never understand talks of cutting down an album - just cut it down to the tracks you like. The more the merrier for me.


I'm flip flopping like hell as to what is my favorite song on here, but the song that stays on repeat the most is "A Lonely Night".... If you would've told me 5 years ago when he first came on the scene, that my favorite Weeknd track off of one of his albums would be a fukkin' upbeat, catchy, funky pop tune, I would've asked you to introduce me to your plug so I could kill serotonin......

That "Billie Jean" drum pattern .............. Infectious.

AOTY.

Woke up by a girl, I don't even know her name...

Album is solid, but still doesn't compare to Trilogy.

This Starboy feels like a bunch of Singles. No real cohesion. Lots of heat though.
