music wise, Dawn FM and Starboy are much more similar to Thriller. But if we're talking about sucess and impact in the music industry, I agree 100% with you. Trilogy was very impactful in the underground R&B scene as well
@@felipesantiagolucas Think about the Grammy history, at the Grammys Micheal Jackson lost to U2 on thriller despite being the more impactful album. People are still doing thriller Jackson flash mobs to this day. Now fast forward to after hours album losing to Taylor Swift despite being the more impactful album. People are doing after hours weeknd flash mobs in time square. Exactly like thriller. Abel is literally #1 on Spotify above taylor swift and yet she got the album of the year. After hours is still breaking records to this day. So quite literally after hours is this generations thriller
He’s not for mass listeners obviously. You can learn of him through famous hit like Blinding lights but only certain hardcore fans go deep to analyze his music as they have too many layers. Justin bieber, Taylor Swift is, not that they are bad singers but their story is all over the paper. In the circle he is highly praised for his vocal, great produced and deep meaning cinematicly wordbuilding videos. Yes although he is top-1 monthly listeners on Spotify, he is less a magazine face cause as we all know, he doesn’t take interview. That’s why we feel that he’s unpopular. He’s all about music and let art express himself. That is his legacy and the only thing he want us to remember of. Respect the man for no nonsense.
it's not just the visuals of the music videos. the cinematic experience of his music, even when you're just listening, is out of this world. he can show us a whole world, without ever having to open our eyes...
I’ll never forget when he released the music video for rolling stone. The line “until you’re used to my face and my mystery fades” feels like a prophecy now. I think him and every fan knew this was where he was gonna end up. Do I miss the darker sound that he had before? Of course, but the fact he’s become the pop icon of this generation outside Taylor swift and drake, more than makes up for it. HOT can’t drop soon enough, and while that marks the end of the weeknd, I’m just glad I’ve been able to get the chance to listen to him over the last 13 years. Can’t wait to see where his career goes after this.
Finally someone else who is talking about this This is my exact mindset because I never hears music at parties and he doesn’t get half the awards he deserves
Thank you ! This album has such a special special to me. Moved to aus alone and just as I got there homesick this album dropped. The world went crazy back then during that whole covid era
It's a masterpiece. It is for sure a Magnus Opus. How everything was well thought out, none other artist matches, he's a true ARTIST, who does so much more than just release audios.
Your right but it just feels like he’s underrated because nobody really talks about his music anymore, he dropped Dancing In The Flames and nobody was talking about it, then when Timeless came out people were talking about the song but it was mainly people talking about Carti’s verse if Carti wasn’t in that song I feel like it would’ve gotten the same treatment Dancing In The Flames got, same thing last year the only song of his that people were hyping that year was Popular because of Carti and also One Of The Girls because Jennie from Black Pink was on it
im telling you man he's underrated. no one at all talks about him. i was going to one of his shows because he was on tour and many people asked what was I going on holiday for. i told them why and about 5 different people said "who is the weeknd?" and hes one of the most streamed artist in the world. its actually wild.
When I tell people that my favorite artist is The Weeknd, they say, “Oh, yeah. Blinding Lights/Can’t Feel My Face/Save Your Tears/The Hills are fun to listen to.” Nah, bro, they don’t know…
The reason why the weeknd is still underrated because most people still havent given proper recognition and appreciation to his actual masterpieces Trilogy and my personal favourite kissland. Hes popular because of some of his viral tiktok songs that people make edits on 😭. Anyways what i mean to say is hes recognised for the wrong thing imo
He’s well known for being risk taking and renew himself with every album. I dont like MV of Timeless and Sao Paolo either but the music is still fire. Dawn FM used to be rated as the worse album than After Hours but it gradually got more attention and become my favorite
ya i'm afraid Hurry Up Tomorrow may be one of his worse problems with some of the risk taking and poor sound choices he's been making. That's why he's dropping from the top currently
I love all his songs no matter what people say. Am his fan from 2014 after the song love me harder...thanks to Ari for featuring him in her song that's how i started to know him because i really fall in love with his voice. I searched for him and i listened his every song. There are so many underrated songs of him from his old albums. New generation only know him just bcz of blinding lights and reminder song bcz it get famous on tiktok bcz of this asian chic line that's it. Only old and true XO fans recognise his art and love for music. I love him so much and there are some stupid people who are saying he is also got satanic specially after sao paulo concert...his music always had this dark theme and concept, his music is not like your typical lovey dovey type...don't connect my man with any satan some stupid people
not underrated but i dont thing people appreciates the depths of his work enough... like yes he is famous and everyone has heard of him but he is not like idk Justin Bieber kinda trendy
i feel like he is underrated cuz like he is diffrent and that he is black and then the overrated bruno billie and taylor take over on spotify which isnt fair cause they come back with a song and everyone is like wow its amazing now these days u hear abt the weeknd through blinding lights or save your tears and even starboy like you guys dont care abt him anymore when he releases new music only a day or two boom u guys stop talking then u guys say he is in the illuminati he sold his soul what what i am just tired stop the hate just stop the hate
Thing with Abel is that he is too mainstream and too overplayed that most of people, even some of his own fans, just see him as background music and dont actually sit to hear and understand his world. He is not underrated at all, but people should pay more attention to music as an art in general.
Weeknd music is so popular but personally he is not that much !! Example :- everyone know JUSTIN BEIBER. But very less people know Abel. But everyone knows blinding lights too
he is just overrated . Can't sing a lot of vocals he use to do , use autotune on live , send auscotic (dancing in flame) in which he was lip syncing already produced vocals, without autotune just normal average singer (voice singers are better) and still people say more than singer, underrated .
After hours is this generations thriller, prove me wrong
music wise, Dawn FM and Starboy are much more similar to Thriller. But if we're talking about sucess and impact in the music industry, I agree 100% with you.
Trilogy was very impactful in the underground R&B scene as well

@@Lee82420actually bad lost to u2 but I definitely agree with the point your trying to make
I agree he is still underrated.

Guess you could say this video is timeless
Gay
The Weeknd is going to be the Artist of the Decade for sure!! 🔥
He already is
The symbolism between heartless and snow child is that it just a loop
I swear this dude has crazy streams yet I never hear about him much online 😭😭😭
It’s cuz we mostly talk amongst ourselves (the fans) and not publicly like swifties, I’m not hating
it's not just the visuals of the music videos. the cinematic experience of his music, even when you're just listening, is out of this world.
he can show us a whole world, without ever having to open our eyes...

How does this not have more views?
This was an amazing video! You should cover Dawn FM next, the story does get deeper and I think it’s one of his best albums
Thank you ! This album has such a special special to me. Moved to aus alone and just as I got there homesick this album dropped. The world went crazy back then during that whole covid era
It's a masterpiece. It is for sure a Magnus Opus. How everything was well thought out, none other artist matches, he's a true ARTIST, who does so much more than just release audios.
bigger artist in the world, but still his pristine symbolism and messages are overlooked by the masses
9:07 you just had to go there with the Diddy oil 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Abel have a awesome creative direction, a cinematic masterpiece! Thanks for this content!
He's number 1 on Spotify... how can he still be underrated lmao
Your right but it just feels like he’s underrated because nobody really talks about his music anymore, he dropped Dancing In The Flames and nobody was talking about it, then when Timeless came out people were talking about the song but it was mainly people talking about Carti’s verse if Carti wasn’t in that song I feel like it would’ve gotten the same treatment Dancing In The Flames got, same thing last year the only song of his that people were hyping that year was Popular because of Carti and also One Of The Girls because Jennie from Black Pink was on it
btw he aint the number 1 on Spotify actually😶🌫
@@SoyPedro23he has the most monthly listeners on Spotify
im telling you man he's underrated. no one at all talks about him. i was going to one of his shows because he was on tour and many people asked what was I going on holiday for. i told them why and about 5 different people said "who is the weeknd?" and hes one of the most streamed artist in the world. its actually wild.
@@SoyPedro23in terms of monthly listeners yes he is
If y’all thought the chopped off head and the handsome squidward was weird, well…. this são paulo video…
I definitely need you to do this to all his albums
WE NEED A PART 2 WHERE YOU COVER DAWN FM PLEASE!!!!!!
PART 2!!
Im not sure what it will take for him to get the recognition he deserves. He’s released hit after hit since 2011 and still remains underrated.
This was amazing!
The views on this video shows that this channel is underrated as well!!!!
7k ! like seriously!!!
Saw him live last year. That was a peak experience.
When I tell people that my favorite artist is The Weeknd, they say, “Oh, yeah. Blinding Lights/Can’t Feel My Face/Save Your Tears/The Hills are fun to listen to.”
Nah, bro, they don’t know…
The leaves falling down might be symbolic for King of the Fall
Bro is not underrated , only people who have great taste in music knows him #xo ❤
MASTERPIECE.
The reason why the weeknd is still underrated because most people still havent given proper recognition and appreciation to his actual masterpieces Trilogy and my personal favourite kissland. Hes popular because of some of his viral tiktok songs that people make edits on 😭. Anyways what i mean to say is hes recognised for the wrong thing imo
love this video
Please do this on Dawn FM too
Then he goes on and releases dancing in the flames mv timeless mv and sao Paulo mv don't know what happened hope it changes in the near future
What?
He’s well known for being risk taking and renew himself with every album. I dont like MV of Timeless and Sao Paolo either but the music is still fire. Dawn FM used to be rated as the worse album than After Hours but it gradually got more attention and become my favorite
ya i'm afraid Hurry Up Tomorrow may be one of his worse problems with some of the risk taking and poor sound choices he's been making. That's why he's dropping from the top currently
I love all his songs no matter what people say.

Do one for Dawn FM before Hurry Up Tomorrow comes out please 🥺Also that new music video for São Paulo gave me nightmares 🤣
Why is everyone forgetting about DawnFM :(
Next on dawn fm
Abel is the sexiest, most talented and my future husband
WE NEED A DAWM FM VIDEO
not underrated but i dont thing people appreciates the depths of his work enough... like yes he is famous and everyone has heard of him but he is not like idk Justin Bieber kinda trendy
i feel like he is underrated cuz like he is diffrent and that he is black and then the overrated bruno billie and taylor take over on spotify which isnt fair cause they come back with a song and everyone is like wow its amazing now these days u hear abt the weeknd through blinding lights or save your tears and even starboy like you guys dont care abt him anymore when he releases new music only a day or two boom u guys stop talking then u guys say he is in the illuminati he sold his soul what what i am just tired stop the hate just stop the hate
9:07 im dead
9:10 😂😂😂😂
You saw Abel and Q. Lucky
When are we getting a dawn FM videooo
Patience 😌
Thing with Abel is that he is too mainstream and too overplayed that most of people, even some of his own fans, just see him as background music and dont actually sit to hear and understand his world.
He is not underrated at all, but people should pay more attention to music as an art in general.
Weeknd music is so popular but personally he is not that much !! Example :- everyone know JUSTIN BEIBER. But very less people know Abel. But everyone knows blinding lights too
I feel like he kinda let the storytelling go to an extent with this current rollout
Def not alone on this one
Now dawn fm 😊
Music made in Cubase, music videos made with high effort
That’s what blinding lights is about?
Because if it ain't XO, then it gotta go, right?
another person who is underrated is you
2nd most artist this year 😂
he is just overrated . Can't sing a lot of vocals he use to do , use autotune on live , send auscotic (dancing in flame) in which he was lip syncing already produced vocals, without autotune just normal average singer (voice singers are better) and still people say more than singer, underrated .
Abel will forever be my favorite artist.
