very disappointing.. especially after such huge hit, it proves that hits don't guarantee anything
That supposed too update 08/07, we are already 10 days later I hope this delayment doesn’t affect much the updates calendar
According your CSPC methodology Weeknd's " In the night " must have 1 256 871 EAS on streaming . I don't understand why on respective table you concluded 615 366 EAS . Thank you , anyway !
What about Muse stats on songs and albums sales? Are you ever gonna do a Muse analysis? I´d love it.
Yesterday's streams
Starboy - 10.3M
After Hours - 7.8M
Your statement was gonna become reality but TikTok isn't allowing After Hours to outsell Starboy lol. I can definitely see it outselling Beauty Behind the Madness though
Taking into account the Spotify increases since this article, Blinding Lights and Save Your Tears have almost the exact same units as reported in the IFPI reports of 2020-22. This website is getting more and more accurate everyday tbh. Congrats
Wow, Starboy could surpass Beauty Behind the mask this year. The success of Die for you and all the Starboy Album right now is huge
Not just that, it also looks like After Hours won't catch up to Starboy either, which is crazy considering that for a time it felt like After Hours would eventually end up as his biggest album.
At current rate The Weeknd will have 3 projects over 20mil by the end of 2025. That is wildly impressive to me considering all will have been released in the past 10 years as well
3 months later and it's 3.6mil since July 2022! So an increase of 1.1mil in the past 3 months. Insane for a 7 year old album
when after hours came out i thought it would end up his biggest album but for sure starboy will be
"While Starboy is not as strong its predecessor" welp guess Starboy had the last laugh after all, even though Starboy and BBTM are both wildly huge successes
His catalog is performing exceptional on streaming.. Starboy is becoming a classic in this age and day. He will be over 100 million in three years at this rate even without new music.
Wait he moved 20 million unites in 15 months now I saw. At this rate he will be over 100 million eas in 2025. Crazy
In 15 months, starboy has moved five million units. It will be at 20 million in no time
Insane longevity, I wonder if he can crack the 2010s top 10 albums:
Adele - 21 51m
Ed Sheeran - Divide 33m
Adele - 25 32m
Taylor Swift - 1989 28m
Ed Sheeran - Multiply 28m
Bruno Mars - Doo-Wops & Hooligans 27m
Katy Perry - Teenage Dream 25m
Taylor Swift - Red 24m
Justin Bieber - Purpose 22m
Sam Smith - In The Lonely Hour 22m
Possible contenders with rough estimates of when they would reach the top 10 at the current rate:
Lana Del Rey - Born To Die 18m (3 years)
The Weeknd - Starboy 16.5m (1.5 years)
Taylor Swift - Lover 14.5m (1.5 years)
Also he basically has the #1 album of the 2020s ex aequo with... 3 other albums:
Bad Bunny - Un Verano Sin Ti 15.5m
Dua Lipa - Future Nostalgia 15.5m
The Weeknd - After Hours 15.5m
Olivia Rodrigo - Sour 15m
Taylor Swift - Midnights 13m
sorry but out of time by the weeknd is a plagiarism of close the door by Teddy Pendergrass, listen carefully
