• Odd Future Isn't Breaking Up According To Tyler, The Creator

    Last night, Tyler, The Creator got super sentimental while looking through old Odd Future pictures and shared some of those emotions on Twitter because that's what you do now.

Unaware of the consequences of saying something like that in public, Tyler went to sleep thinking everything was all right, when in fact, fans were convinced that Odd Future was finished. He woke up this morning and saw all of the headlines and online activity. He tried to clear things up by saying that people shouldn't read into his comments, he was simply looking over some old pictures with friends.

What makes Mendes' accomplishment more impressive is that he did so without a single on the Billboard charts, drawing almost entirely from hype built as a Vine star (and as an opener for Taylor Swift on tour). He moved 119,000 copies of his debut.
