New single from The Weeknd, entitled "Heartless." Couldn't find any data on when this will be pushed to CHR/Pop, but I imagine it will at some point given my station is playing this at the top of every other hour today.

This song is garbage. Will flop like his last few singles.

Does not sound like a hit. He keeps recording the same song over and over.

This doesn't sound like a hit on any format to me. "Blinding Lights" sounds like it could make a dent at pop at the very least (and also sounds like a way bigger international hit).

I kinda like it but it has no replay value for me. Might perform a "Lost In The Fire" at best.

I guess he has peaked, now just ticking and picking up few more dollars. He does not seem to be the guy who wants to be a pop star, at least for a long term. I'm actually surprised he got that far, that is a major achievement for an alternative indie adult soul musician.

Both songs are stale and have been done before. What a strange and uneventful way to kick off an era. Very disappointed. It seems everything just went down hill both commercially and creatively after the “Starboy” era.
Both him and Ed Sheeran were too ambitious in their quests for pop stardom and now they are suffering from the blowback.

I don't disagree about The Weeknd, but I'm really confused what you mean about Ed Sheeran? He just had three top 20 singles ("I Don't Care," "Beautiful People" and "Cross Me"), two of which went top 10 and the other one I believe was #1 for a while.

As for my thoughts on this, I'd say it's just "eh." It's not atrociously offensive to the ears, but then again I'm satisfied from just hearing it once and I don't really feel the need to ever hear it again. I agree with others that it sounds very similar to "Lost in the Fire," which probably isn't a good thing given all the controversy surrounding that song. I can't say I love the line about taking advantage of women with their guard down either, but it's not as bad as the other line in question from "Lost in the Fire."

This is of course #1 on Apple Music but as it's Wednesday and this will get only 2 days of this tracking week, the next week will tell if it's a proper hit or not.

For Ed I meant quality wise, his music has suffered pretty much the same way The Weeknd’s has. Relying on the same formula that made his last 2 eras successful. Audiences are definitely growing bored. He only had 1 top ten hit on his last album.

Starboy (and the era before) had him set up so perfectly. I’m baffled that he’s fallen off so fast but still rooting for his success either way.

And thanks for the correction on the number of top ten hits from his current album; I was thinking "Beautiful People" also went top 10 but I'm likely thinking of the Mediabase charts. Probably an unpopular opinion, but I thought "Cross Me" was the most different sounding of the singles from his album and should have charted higher than it did.

This isn't that bad but I'm so not into the P---y lyric so I'll pass. It sounds similar to his other work so I'll just throw that on if I need some Weekend.
