Rentboy Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Its pretty decent. Only disappointing if you compare to his past glory. But I think we're seeing a lot of old school artists starting to fall from relevance in this whole streaming switch over. We need to stop expecting them to keep selling what they sold in the past. its not realistic. All artists start to fade at some point. JT is still up there having hits and mixing it with todays biggest newer acts. 22 years in the game. How many of them could debut with these numbers?

I would agree with you but the Super Bowl didn’t even give him a sales boost. That’s over 100 million people watching. Even Grammy artists got sales boosts and the Grammys had their lowest ratings ever. It’s safe to say that this is quite disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obsession Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Usually I would say these are good numbers for 2018 because they are, but in this case specifically, it's very underwhelming considering he had a Super Bowl boost IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duca incorrectly assumed that the original 300-350k didn't factor in the halftime show. HDD did consider it as a factor, but overestimated its effect.

Superbowl helps you sell singles, not albums. Also people, 300k-350k isn't the same thing as 350k, they were just vague The lower end actually increased to 315k so idk why this is being a big deal.....

That's not the story. The reality is people were expecting a real Super Bowl Bounce and that is not unrealistic at all. Having zero bounce is not a good look for Justin well for anyone really.

Of course it's unrealistic to expect a 200k+ boost from the Superbowl but releasing an album the week performing on Superbowl was a first, so we can't really compare.

MelfestKpop Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) Superbowl promo can only get you 300k nowadays and a number 2 on itunes.... sales really are dead. Either that or his star has fallen. His album came out the week of the superbowl so I expected blockbuster numbers. Most artists release way before or way after and only get a boost Edited February 6, 2018 by MelfestKpop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
