Gunna pulled off the feat ever-so-slightly.

I haven’t listened to Gunna’s latest album but I seriously doubt I will like it since I’m not a fan of his music.
Congrats to both men!
WHAT?
I’m scared
I’m afraid
I’m gagging
ITS NOT POSSIBLE.
How did this happen?
Both are flops
The Weeknd will go to no. 1 eventually. And stay there for a while.
Him not debuting at number 1 is a huge L
Worry about UGGmillias lack of presence on the charts
Normani has no album, be quiet
Struggling to get huge numbers while he’s in his PRIME years are very telling.
EVRYbody KNOW the Weekend tryna be Michael Jackson. But he Overexposed right now. Folks is Sick of him. Too many Features & Duets & they all sound Alike. Even trying to bring back DISCO. This is EMBARRASSING the so called prince of pop being crushed by a New jack. He really needs to take a break. DISAPPEAR for a while. Give folks a chance to Miss him.
Good. The Weeknd= whiny voice flop mj neverbee
Gunna= hip swagged out new sound
A 60% drop off in album sales while he’s in his prime and just headlined the Super Bowl???? People tired of generic weak vocals assss.
Future proof Abel lmaooooooooo 🤳🏽💋
SUPERBOWL CURSE
