He sent twice the amount of songs to radio than Taylor this year and released 7 singles 3 of which are from his soundtrack album which still has 2 songs on TTH btw, but sure let's pretend he's the new Adele. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it shows how many people are re-directed to his music through playlisting. Having 100m monthly listeners while getting 40m streams means 100m people were exposed to his music and they decided to not come back to it eventually. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you comparing MONTHLY listeners to DAILY streams? Only obsessed stans steams songs on repeat everyday. Insinuating that having 100M monthly listeners means he should he getting 100M daily streams is so absurdly stupid. The Weeknd has 277 songs credited Taylor has 551 songs credited 40M/277 = Averaging 144k streams per track daily 80M/551 = 145k streams per track daily Taylor has also released 7 albums in the past 3 years. The Weeknd has released 3 in the past 3 years (including the Soundtrack for IDOL). If you’re gonna discredit The Weeknd at least provide full picture. Taylor stats are not some vastly more impressive thing than The Weeknd’s. They’re virtually the same when you consider her discography is twice the size of his. So comparing daily streams is stupid.

That average thing is such a nonsense with half of Taylor's catalogue being from pre-streaming era + re-recordings splitting her streams. Midnights + Lover + Reputation + Folklore - 38M The Weeknd's "277 songs" - 39M 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He shouldn't be getting 100m daily streams no but his daily streams are shockingly low for having that many monthly listeners. No one is arguing that The Weeknd is one of the biggest artists in the world. His stats prove that. But OP was attempting to suggest that he's returned to outpacing Taylor when that isn't really the truth. The point we're all making is that monthly listeners is not the proof in the pudding, daily streams are. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since when soundtrack songs from the most awful show in 2023 is considered something good? And some collaborations here and there is normal, but he hasn't released an actual album in 23 months. While at same period Taylor released 2 studio albums (with almost 50 songs)with grand promotions and the biggest tour of all time and biggest music tour movie of all time. She had the bigger hand in everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only on this forum would someone find a way to imply that 80M is somehow similar to 40M, by saying they're looking at the full picture while omitting highly relevant factors. As other members already mentioned, 1) Taylor's discography is nearly half comprised with albums released before the streaming era and 2) the number of tracks of 4 of her early albums is essentially doubled because of the re-recordings. No one is saying The Weekend isn't performing incredibly. But it's really no favor to him to compare him to Taylor in the year 2023. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because it's the number they see, doesn't mean it's a number that matters.

Swifties are not just disregarding it because it doesn't favor Taylor, but because it's actually barely relevant and more representative of playlist exposure and featurings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
