What you mean? Fuck up the kind of music he does? I just couldn't see that honestly based off the sales he made off remastered. Seems like they would have a lot of faith in what he does.
I feel like they're going to just order more High For This' and maybe more Wicked Games', but I don't think that did nearly as well on radio. But I have biased Canadian perspective, so I don't know what spins were like in the USA.

So you guys really think The Weeknd isn't going to sell? Just like how you underestimated J. Cole. Then Kendrick. SMH.

Name your bet... The Weeknd does 200k first week. Study what J. Cole, Kendrick + TDE, and Frank Ocean did and their success. That is the new formula.

Artist who have a true fan base, critical acclaim, underground + mainstream appeal will sell in this climate. The Weeknd is buzzing hot.

Weeknd should sell well true none poppy RnB is not really out

But it's not some secret formula that if you have an established fanbase you will sell

Weeknd's best song is D.D., easily. Then maybe Montreal and Birds Pt.2. My answer probably changes every time this is brought up though.

only Weeknd solo single ive heard on the radio is Wicked Games

thats his best song imo too
this.

he needs to just go ahead and try and incorporate his shit into dancier beats. those ChiDuly Weeknd remixes someone posted in OT5 were a perfect example of what he should roll with
 
Weeknd sold 300k off his old mixtapes alone (Trilogy). He's going to sell well once he actually releases something official, there's no doubt.

That mixtape is so godlike, I wouldn't mind he take that route either. I've listened to those probably more than any individual album of his.
 
That he is channeling MJ

That's a negative

When I say that I don't mean go in expecting a straight up gold MJ track, but it's pretty much undeniable that, that one specific song has a really,really noticeable MJ influence in comparison to his other tracks excluding D.D. obviously. I find it odd you disagree really.

The Weeknd, Frank Ocean, James Faunterloy, Elijah Blake and Justin Timberlake should form a group and bring back the boy band in 2014. The sex appeal would be so high that they'd sell 4 billion albums. The entire female population and then some.

I'd love to see GAF-Hop arguing about N'Sync and shit years ago.

i could see 200k if he had more diversity on the album. some shit for the bitches, a REAL club banger, some good features... weeknd needs to address a greater diversity of subjects if he wants to strike it big. crooning about attempting to slay some jumpoff after you rail an oxy is kinda getting played out

Why does an R&B artist need a club banger?

And I hardly doubt the lack of diversity in subject matter means much in that genre, and Weeknd's schtick is still plenty fresh in most people's eyes. Second album, maybe then you should get worried.

Knowledge is power, guard it well
Trilogy eventually did 300k? Damn I didn't know that. Yeah then dude will be a-okay sticking to his lane.

Whoever the dude was with the headband lost hard.

Man that dude was just a herb. The type to try to get a girl to come up to him by staring at her with the sexy eye.
 
Young Chop and Danny Brown? I'm looking forward to their track brehs. Chop has some heat and I've been waiting for him to give some to better rappers. Hell I think he could single handily revive Ross, who just sounds so meh over the boring trap shit he buys. Chop has some great stuff.
