The Weeknd's success in 2015 was basically Franks' success in 2012-2013. While they used to dump all of those cats in the same category based off their mixtape success around the same time, I think the mainstream has evolved in their understanding of R&B to understand how drastically different Frank, Weeknd, etc are from each other.
