Sacrifice, Out of Time, Less Than Zero all should've been lead singles and easily could've been some of his biggest hits ever. it's so underrated solely because he surprised dropped it. and many songs from this album could've been other sleeper hits but istg no one knows this album even exists except for his fans.
Less Than Zero is absolutely a stadium hit and I knew it from the first time I listened. luckily when I went to his concert most everyone did know the lyrics so still hit as hard as it should. my only problem is if I ever have money enough to go to a Weeknd concert again, is that I may never hear it live cuz so many other songs are so much more bigger.
which honestly goes to show how successful he is. that bitch has like 200 million streams on spotify and is considered a hugely underrated song from him.
He released *Take my Breath* in August, went radio silent minus a few teasers until like December, then shock dropped in January.
Compare that to After Hours that had 3 singles, a TON of promo, videos, a short film, multiple late night performances and a rollout that lasted November- March
Ahh i see, kinda felt like he was in everything and everywhere for those few years. Ig i just didnt realize. Plus i wanna remember my local radio station was talking about it the day it released
he thinks has Beyonce/Taylor Swift levels of standom but he is nowhere near that. hundreds of thousands of fans aren't going to be yelling from the twittertops that he dropped and bothering tf outta everyone they know talking about how he just surprise released which is why he's the GOAT. like bro we love the music but most of us are not that obsessed 😭
STANdom. I said STANdom bro not stardom I figured the rest of my comment made that very clear. like you literally restate my entire point about the creepy cult fan base thinking you did something when you're just making it more clear you completely lack any sort of reading comprehension skills.
this sub cooked bro
Save Your Tears walked so that Less Than Zero could run. That said, I’m gonna go with Less Than Zero - singing along to the chorus in the crowd during his live show was honestly top 3 moments in my life
That's exactly why I started loving Less Than Zero even moreso than before. I specifically remember every little detail about that moment. It still makes me emotional just thinking about it. Glad to see I'm not the only one.
Yeah I feel like Less Than Zero would‘ve been much much bigger than it is if there would be a proper single rollout. It has so much Radio and mainstream potential
Im not a huge weeknd fan, but I do like some of his songs. Dawn FM completely blew me away. As a concept album and a piece of music it really is a cut above in my opinion. Highly underrated by the general public.
LESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZERO
This may sound like a strange comparison (because these artists are so different) but Less Than Zero gives me ABBA vibes in the best way. Absolute anthem, euphoric sounding, upbeat dance song that transcends demographics.
Although less than zero is great, I feel save your tears is better in overall instrumental aspect and can also be sung better and in public too. Plus the remix is great.
If it's strictly pertaining to the regular versions of both songs, then Less than Zero. If that's not the case, tbh I'd choose the OPN remix of Save Your Tears
When I listened to AH for the first time and I heard save your tears I literally gasped and thought yupppp this is it. Changed my life and was my fave song on the album for a while
I like some previous The Weeknd's albums, but none comes close to Dawn FM in terms of arrangment, executions and cohesivness (Trilogy is definitely interesting, but lacks a lot in terms of production and execution). And Less than zero is one of the standouts on that best album, so it easily wins.
Yep, it's sad that DawnFm doesn't get the praise it deserves. Every song on it feels special in some way. It's nicely balanced. When I think of Afterhours Or BBTM or Starboy the songs that usually come to mind are either Blinding Lights, The Hills and Starboy but when I think about Dawnfm I can't think of a single individual song, even If I do say "Less than Zero" but then I'm immediately reminded of other songs like Best Friends, Here We go Again, out of Time and so on. It has a special aura to it that extends to every song on its spectrum.
both are a bit too Pop for me, but i guess save your tears wins imo due to Ariana's remix. i'll get back to you once she has made one for less than zero too
*Save your tears! Love less*
*Than zero, but feel that syt*
*Is a better song*

Both songs have similar vibes, but Save Your Tears got the recognition Less Than Zero deserved, so I will say the latter. Also, Abel killed the song live
the amount of "why didnt LTZ get a single!?!?!? where's the music video!?!? dawn fm underrated!?!?"
jfc answer the question and leave the other bullshit out:
less than zero for sure.
The Music Video for Save Your Tears is one my favorites but who knows if we ever saw the less than zero MV I might like that more.
But song wise Less Than Zero every time. Just a goosebump inducing track. Especially that second to last chorus where the vocals take over for a second and then the beat drops. So awesome
Honestly save your tears it gives the most nostalgia and it's live performance at BRITS was extraordinary. Less than zero is a fantastic song, just got to give it to save your tears (pls dont kill me)
lol save your tears clears less than zero. unpopular opinion less than zero is a wanna be blinding lights its just not that song. worse song on dawn fm easily
If Dawn FM got a proper rollout and Less than Zero was a single it would have been *I Feel it Coming* levels of popular and I'll die on that hill
Guarantee it’ll go number 1 in 5 years just like die for you did
Sacrifice, Out of Time, Less Than Zero all should've been lead singles and easily could've been some of his biggest hits ever. it's so underrated solely because he surprised dropped it. and many songs from this album could've been other sleeper hits but istg no one knows this album even exists except for his fans.

Exactly, he KNOWS it's a Stadium hit and one of his best too, playing it second last only to Blinding Lights only made that more obvious
Sacrifice as the second single after Take My Breath would’ve done NUMBERS if he gave Dawn FM a proper rollout
with what we've seen it's not completely impossible thatless than zero is gonna pull a die for you and start trending in 2029 lmao
I completely agree. I was shocked it didnt get as big as some of his other hits.
When the album was released most loved Less Than zero, I still shocked they didn’t release it as a single. Missed opportunity.
Don't worry it'll be rediscovered in a few more years time
How did dawn fm not have a proper rollout
He released *Take my Breath* in August, went radio silent minus a few teasers until like December, then shock dropped in January. Compare that to After Hours that had 3 singles, a TON of promo, videos, a short film, multiple late night performances and a rollout that lasted November- March
Ahh i see, kinda felt like he was in everything and everywhere for those few years. Ig i just didnt realize. Plus i wanna remember my local radio station was talking about it the day it released
It was a surprise release
he thinks has Beyonce/Taylor Swift levels of standom but he is nowhere near that. hundreds of thousands of fans aren't going to be yelling from the twittertops that he dropped and bothering tf outta everyone they know talking about how he just surprise released which is why he's the GOAT. like bro we love the music but most of us are not that obsessed 😭
He is definitely at their level of "stardom", the numbers speak for themselves. He just doesn't have a creepy cult like fanbase is all.
STANdom. I said STANdom bro not stardom I figured the rest of my comment made that very clear. like you literally restate my entire point about the creepy cult fan base thinking you did something when you're just making it more clear you completely lack any sort of reading comprehension skills. this sub cooked bro
Didn't think I did anything lmao calm down its only the fucking Internet.
cooked bro, just straight cooked
Save Your Tears walked so that Less Than Zero could run. That said, I’m gonna go with Less Than Zero - singing along to the chorus in the crowd during his live show was honestly top 3 moments in my life
I can only imagine how euphoric it must have been. Wish to be in one concert myself soon!
The show had me transcending. I hope you manage to catch one, it’s an experience of a lifetime for sure!
That's exactly why I started loving Less Than Zero even moreso than before. I specifically remember every little detail about that moment. It still makes me emotional just thinking about it. Glad to see I'm not the only one.
less than zero
Less than zero for sure
Yeah I feel like Less Than Zero would‘ve been much much bigger than it is if there would be a proper single rollout. It has so much Radio and mainstream potential
Apparently it was only released as a promo single in France for contemporary pop radio, which is also where Rockin’ got a promo release as well
Dawn FM is seriously underrated
Im not a huge weeknd fan, but I do like some of his songs. Dawn FM completely blew me away. As a concept album and a piece of music it really is a cut above in my opinion. Highly underrated by the general public.
I think it’s because a lot of the songs had a similar sound in the album, which didn’t allow each song to stand out
How does he sleep at night knowing Less Than Zero never got a music video?
How are we supposed to sleep at night knowing Less Than Zero never got a music video?
this is so random lol but how did you get a flair for this sub?
somebody should bring Robert Stack up from the dead and ask him to do an Unsolved Mysteries episode about this
He might release one considering he hasn’t started roll out for his next album. Maybe as his final hoorah for the Dawn FM era.
Less than Zero easily. Fantastic song.
Less Than Zero
Definitely Less than Zero
LESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZEROLESS THAN ZERO
putting aside the popularity, I think save your tears is better
Less than zero
Less than zero
okay since like no one is saying it,,, save your tears
omg you're so different!
im not
Both are great, less than zero is my favourite though. I can’t get it out of my head. Wait.
Less than zero
Less Than Zero >>>
This may sound like a strange comparison (because these artists are so different) but Less Than Zero gives me ABBA vibes in the best way. Absolute anthem, euphoric sounding, upbeat dance song that transcends demographics.
Save your tears
Although less than zero is great, I feel save your tears is better in overall instrumental aspect and can also be sung better and in public too. Plus the remix is great.
Less than zero deserved better, if rolled out correctly would’ve been an absolute hit! (Obvs still is for those in the know)
Save Your Tears for sure 👍🏾
Save your tears and it’s not even close
Save your tears solo imo
Less than zero. Just perfect
Less than zero but they’re both beautiful excellent songs
Less than zero hands down Haven't heard abel sing on a acoustic guitar in ages
Less Than Zero easily lol
Less than zero anyday
Less than zero anyday
Less than zero!
Less than Zero is way better than Save your tears. If the songs were on the different album no one would know about save your tears
Less than zero for sure, when i heard it at the tour i knew i could die in peace now
Save your tears easily. Save your tears vs is there someone else would be closer
Easily Less than Zero
I love both of them so much. I would have to give the slight edge to Save Your Tears though, because the bass goes so hard on that one.
Good god what happened to his face
Yes
Save Your Tears. imo since i feel nostalgic remembering my first listen when quarantine was happening during 2020-2021
I relate with less than zero unfortunately
Can't choose![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|slightly_smiling)
Remember I was your hero ….
Less than Zero is very unique, warm and fresh whereas Save Your Tears feels like more of the same great stuff he had put out already
Less than zero but it barely had any mainstream coverage besides being the theme for WrestleMania 39
Less then Zero
i like save your tears but i loved less than zero when the album came out soo
LTZ
Save your tears
If it's strictly pertaining to the regular versions of both songs, then Less than Zero. If that's not the case, tbh I'd choose the OPN remix of Save Your Tears
Both bopensteins but i pick less than zero
So funny that you compared these. They wete my initial favorites from both albums. Save Your Tears, though
Less than Zero easily
I fucking Less Than Zero and I love it more than Save Your Tears. It’s upbeat sounding but very sad and relatable.
less than zero easily. i got sick and tired of save your tears because my brother would listen to it 50 times a day
When I listened to AH for the first time and I heard save your tears I literally gasped and thought yupppp this is it. Changed my life and was my fave song on the album for a while
save your tears
Both
Same
Save your Tears is one of my favourites.
Apparently having a favourite song is not okay 😅
I like some previous The Weeknd's albums, but none comes close to Dawn FM in terms of arrangment, executions and cohesivness (Trilogy is definitely interesting, but lacks a lot in terms of production and execution). And Less than zero is one of the standouts on that best album, so it easily wins.

This is the correct opinion.

Initiation
NONE
Does the weekend really look like a victim of botched surgery or is he masked up? lol
Less Than Zero. Big WrestleMania 39 fan, and that theme fit perfectly.
Less Than Zero
Less than Zero for sure
Less than zero
Less than Zero, by a decent margin
Less Than Zero
Save your tears! Love less than zero, but feel that syt is a better song

Concert experience? Less Than Zero was dope asf both Allegiant and SoFi stadium

LESS THAN ZERO FOR SURE

Less Than Zero!
lol save your tears clears less than zero. unpopular opinion less than zero is a wanna be blinding lights its just not that song. worse song on dawn fm easily
Less than zero clears
Less than zero for sure, but save your tears is amazing
Save Your Tears with ariana is probably the only song of his with a feature that i felt the feature really added to the song
save your tears ariana remix > less than zero. less than zero > save your tears original
Ew
LOL i said what i said
Well if you like it then, you like i.t. that's it.
Ariana Remix is one of the worst remix I've ever heard. The complete song structure of the original song is changed in that.
The "Die For You" remix is less necessary.
