The Weeknd Thread ( "Hurry Up Tomorrow" Coming Soon)

[mr brown]

hes a classic example of internet popularity not equating to record sale popularity.. then again i thought the same about kendrick and my man went and damn near sold 250k first week

THIS

and his blind fan boys dont see this.

 

[rhythmentality]

Thats not true
1 sku number = 1 stocked item sold
1 album sold with 3 discs = 3 discs sold
The RIAA counts discs
Soundscan counts skus.
The RIAA crowns platinum certifications not soundscan.

I stand corrected. Speakerboxxx/Love Below is indeed a prime example of this. Blueprint 2 as well.

Proceed.



With that in mind: Predicting gold before the end of the year.

Platinum by next year, around the supposed post-album tour jumpin' off February to November.

anything more than 120k i will be shocked

but who cares he still would have dropped the best R&B project 2 years in a row

I couldn't hear anything from that link.

 

[lil black jean jacket]

I think it's clean. idk why it cuts off like that, I haven't heard the full song yet.

 

[sonoftony]

28 sounds good

ill try not to listen to more leaks

 

[illoquent aka dsk]

I'm in the boat with the people saying he won't go plat, even with the 3disc..

ALOT of people still dont know who he is or definitely haven't listened to most of his music aside from featured tracks

Yeah. He also remains lowkey as hell...no interviews, barely any promotion or marketing. He pretty much just does his tour and that's it. Won't go plat, at least not right away...he'll be straight though.

Mane I really hope him and the Rose guy get back cool. The vibe of HOB was just on some other ****.

He still has the presence on his later work but its becoming more centered than that left field **** on HOB

I agree as well

WORD.

He's got Drake co-signing him. He toured with Florence and the Machine and sang with Lady Gaga. Platinum is possible, especially if he gets the teenage-girl demographic to catch on.

At least, he deserves to go plat. Never know what sales will look like these days :\

Twenty-Eight sounds great...as expected.

This release is going to single handily keep me single for another year

That link isn't working for me so I had to check on youtube. Is this actually his voice, or did someone on youtube play with it? If so I'm not feeling it at all. Sounds a lot higher and squeakier

its a radio rip so his voice may be slightly off. album will sound better tho.

as for the song itself.. :x is this real life? i can't stop playing this ****...

 

[CUNNiNGH4M]

i didnt listen but people on youtube often speed up songs slightly (raising the pitch) so the copyright filters or whatever dont catch the ****... thats probably the case here

yeah that's what I was thinking.

 

[omgitswes]

Okay, I hear the original track now and it sounds way better.

 

[iblink]

Edit: Nevermind

The song is straight, but I was expecting more from the 30 second clip
