The Weeknd Thread ( "The Dawn FM" OUT NOW)

[Vincent Van Goat]

Song grew on me like crazy. Literally played it 10x today

Not gonna be as big as The Hills or ICFMF mainstream wise, but the song bangs

I believe it will be bigger due to the advertising they're doing.. I mean... it's nuts

 

[tay1]

The Daft Punk feature alone puts it on another level so it'll definitely be bigger than ICFMF

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Just curious as to what makes folks say "it won't be bigger than ICFMF"?

1. He is already a known commodity to the main stream

2. The marketing they're doing is insane

3. He will no doubt perform this song on t.v./late night shows

It's math

I don't think there's an actual rational answer to your question.

It's math sums it up perfectly.

Add this to my post, lol

 

[halftime]

All I know is on SNL, they perform twice.

If the first one is Starboy, then the second one is...?

 

[yourboy]

Probably False Alarm hopefully

 

[guzzy]

It's gonna be the new I can't feel my face/the hills

Probably even bigger. Hoping for the best with the other tracks, really hoping for some heavier writing

No way that starboy will be bigger than icfmf
Nah

The Hills hit #1 faster than ICFMF & ICFMF was crafted for radio.

At this point, anything can happen, no ellie goulding.

 

[delete1234]

Yup trav posted the album. Looks like the feature list was legit !

I think this album actually will be better just based off the features

FALL HAS ARRIVED.

IMO in order for a song to be #1 it needs some kind of female appeal (love, dancing, break ups, etc). This song doesn't really gear towards that.

A song about "look at all the cars and money I got now" won't be bigger than The Hills or ICFMF.

I think you're being far too nuanced with your criteria.

I agree female appeal is a big factor, but I think you're over thinking what appeals to them.

Most appealing thing to women? They want to dance and have fun or at least out on the appearance that they're having fun.

starboy gonna be a massive dance song I bet you'll hear it in ever commercial club from LA to London tonight.

This song has Daft Punk appeal. Lets not underestimate their fanbase

 

[wavy daddy]

One track, one day, and yall jump 5 pages.


Thread gona be poppin this fall.

 

[jking0821]

basically me when the song drops

 

[ballinsam23]

Panda was one of the catchiest songs of the decade. Literally a classic.

Star boy isn't that. I like the song a lot, but if it's #1 it'll be because it's by The Weeknd with Daft Punks name attached to it.

 

[Belgium]

Starboy is fire 

I can see this doing really well here in Europe

 

[ogmcmxcii]

Can I get regular gas on pump 5

Man WHAT THE HELL are you talmbout??

How is it catchy?

Panda panda panda panda or i got broads in atlanta is the catchy part?

 

[thatmartiankid]

Can someone post that fake tracklist with the features.  Curious.

[Vincent Van Goat]

Yup, I'm gonna run this song into the grave just like often and the hills

Song reminds me structure wise of the hills. Not too heavy content catchy hook and chorus

 

[QU!K]

Fully expect like 10 different remixes in like a month

Not everyone has performed twice.
