Why is normani always the standard lol? Shes barely in the game yet so dont know why shes in this convo. Max/Ariana sound gave her a top 40, if she had another alt. Rnb song (aka Waves) as the lead she wouldnt even debut on the charts in the top 100 (which she didnt). So yes max was a recipe to her Minor success as well.

I think you’re forgetting that max has had over 20 #1s and countless good ass top 10s and top 40s across 20+ years, so if the weeknd didnt need him why would he release/record 11 songs with him over 5 years? He needed that pop sound to break into mainstream, most ppl do and the weeknd is no exception.

The weeknd hit it big with the hills after his intro into the mainstream pop world and that HAIRCUT. When he got a distinct style and that crazy hair people who didnt notice him before noticed him. The hills isnt even as good as his mixtape songs, and it only wen #1 in surprise surprise, in the US and Canada. When he got max and signed to republic he got I cant feel my face which was his first worldwide #1.

Anyway this is about the usher ripoff, he cant come for a legend when his whiny voice doesnt compare to ushers! (And i love the weeknd somgs). Alt. Rnb isnt the weeknd’s, its a genre - NEXT
