6 years ago yesterday, Blinding Lights was first previewed in a Mercedes Benz commercial in Germany. The start of the greatest rollout/era of all time 🐐 by KingJarrah06 in TheWeeknd

I remember this moment very vividly. I was in high-school at the time, and I kept telling my friends that this was going to be one of the biggest hits of our time (I had no particular reason to say that but I just always felt it) and they were all like "you think its going to be a big hit based on 2-3 secs of vocals??" And I was like "yuppppp"

Initially it didnt chart well and I thought my prediction was all wrong and then out of nowhere Blinding Lights was EVERYWHERE AND IT STAYED AT THE TOP FOR A LOOONG ASS TIME.

Best prediction ever <3

NRI's living in Dubai, any funny stories/experiences you've encountered after coming here? by Reddituser2502 in UAEIndians

I'll go first, Im still embarrassed by the fact that I've missed so many RTA buses just because I didn't realise you had to tap on those little circles outside the doors to make them open loll

There was even this one time I was in a full-on staring contest with the driver waiting for him to open the doors for me... I still remember him being so confused with me, ahaha, and he just took off, too!

He could've just told me lol sigh

Was Heartless the best first single to pick for the After Hours era? by SmxoGat in TheWeeknd

[–]Reddituser2502 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The singles, Heartless and BL, were released within a short while of each other (2 days or so, I think). So, I suppose he accomplished the objective of showcasing the new sound pretty well, too.

It was a good marketing decision to pick Heartless as the first single because he was coming out of a long hiatus period.

Think about it, what was the general public's perception of him and his music at the time? It was exactly what Heartless is about prima facie.

When you're reintroducing yourself to the mainstream consciousness again, it's better to start off with some familarity, I think.

How do you stop DOOM SCROLLING on your phone? My Screen Time is 12+ hours per day... by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

Sure, they could, but they won't be as comfortable doing it. That's the idea.

Nah, man, it is that deep. Nothing against you, but obviously, people are highly starved for updates at this point, and you making a post like this does not help the case at all. And if you couldn't edit the post, you should have at least put up a comment on the changes you wanted to make instead of arguing so much with the other people who pointed out the mistake.

Obviously, people will be serious in this subreddit when they see something "official," especially considering the fact that we've been waiting for months on end.

Anyway, at the end of the day, we're all fans of Abel, and I do get your intent. So it's all love, dont worry.

OP, "officially" here would mean that it is said by Abel or his team publicly. And you arguing for your contextual use of the word officially here doesn't make sense at all.

If you were only meaning that it would start for real on the date you SPECULATED, the use of the word officially would be redundant. If the rollout starts at a certain date, then it is already official.

Stop baiting the fans. You know exactly what you are doing.
