Samhain is a significant holiday in the Wiccan religion. It is celebrated on October 31st and marks the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. Samhain is considered to be a time when the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds is at its thinnest, allowing for easier communication with the spirit realm. During Samhain, Wiccans honor their ancestors and loved ones who have passed away. It is believed that the spirits of the deceased can visit the living during this time, so many Wiccans set up altars and offer food and drink to welcome their ancestors back. Some also communicate with the spirits through divination or other spiritual practices.
Thanks to its 23.7 million sum in the latest tracking window, “Fukumean” retains its crown for a third week on R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs. It likewise repeats, though at No. 4, on the all-genre Streaming Songs list.
Lavender has produced editorial and listicle content both in written and video form over the past far years and has also interviewed up-and-coming artists like Jess Williamson. The single, the breakout hit from his album, A Gift a Curse , leads as it continues to improve in all three metrics that inform the chart streaming, radio airplay and sales.
Some also communicate with the spirits through divination or other spiritual practices. Samhain is also associated with death and rebirth. Wiccans believe that the cycle of life and death is constantly repeating, and Samhain represents the transition from one cycle to another.
Gunna’s “a Gift & a Curse” Sells 83k In Its First Week
The first week sales numbers for Gunna’s new album are in.
BY Lavender Alexandria Jun 23, 2023Gunna has been in the news a lot recently for reasons that don't have that much to do with his music. Consequently it can be easy to forget that Gunna just dropped his first new album in over a year last week. The album sports 15 tracks and no features and generated 83k sales in its first week. Almost all of those sales came from streaming and it puts Gunna with artists like Lil Durk and Karol G for the best-selling rap albums of the year so far. The 83k is a somewhat significant bump from the 78k the album was originally projected to do a few days ago.
Some fans have pointed out that this is the lowest first week's sales for a major Gunna release yet. Previously, his lowest debut, 2019's Drip Or Drown 2 sold 90k. Although that seems condemning at first many fans were quick to point out logical explanations for the slip. The clearest purpose for the dip in sales is likely the album's lack of promotion. Gunna has largely been absent from any social media for over a year, which is the primary channel for most artists to promote their music. The record was also released very shortly after its announcement and lead single. Those tighter release schedules and lower promotions have caused lower sales for many artists in the past.
It is seen as a time to reflect on the past year and set intentions for the coming year. Traditionally, bonfires are lit during Samhain to ward off evil spirits and provide warmth during the colder months. Wiccans may also perform rituals and spellwork to release any negative energy and make way for new beginnings. It is a time for letting go of the past and making room for growth and transformation. In addition to honoring the dead and embracing the change of seasons, Samhain is often seen as a time for celebration and indulgence. Many Wiccans have feasts with family and friends, share stories and traditions, and enjoy the abundance of the harvest. Overall, Samhain is a deeply spiritual and meaningful holiday for Wiccans. It is a time to honor the ancestors, connect with the spirit realm, and embrace the cyclical nature of life and death. Through rituals, celebrations, and reflection, Wiccans embrace the power and magic of this special time of year..
