Formation single+video got released a day before 2016 SB where she performed, it peaked at #10. She’s big, but not to the scale stans make her appear, don’t push it :doc:

This is no where NEAR comparable as the track was available for free during the Superbowl, and had 0 streaming components

I can't at some trying to pull for any and all excuses they can find ("oh, sales climate"/ "not that bad"/ "who expected SB effect to be huge?") All defensive retro-fitting IMO. He's underperforming and there's no denying it. 

 

JT is/was a big Pop star, whose numbers before back that up. 

 

These numbers, which are fraction of what he used to do, point to big issues. 

 

IMO, it's a combo of things:

* He was egotistical enough (or badly advised) to do the Super Bowl. The Janet thing was bound to come up and be dissected. What a lot of folk fail to understand is that she was done so dirty by several entities and JT getting away scott-free and then never really going to bat for her all the way (aka understanding/discussing how his white male privilege made for an opposite experience to hers) almost makes him seem...complicit.

 

It could be argued that he's being made a scapegoat for something CBS, FCC, Viacom and NFL effectively did to Janet, but he should have been smart enough to know (or advised) what the optics look like and find a way really make good with her PUBLICLY. If even to selfishly get the heat off himself. Again, the optics were ignored and he's seeing the results of that. Because...

 

* We're in the woke climate and Justin almost seems asleep to things that he (as a White artist who was embraced by Black audiences) should be more aware of. Namely how we cherish our icons + protect and defend them big time (Prince, Janet, Michael). His tone deafness to all of this (after making a career based on Urban sounds) is biting him in the butt now. 

 

* Social media wasn't around when a lot of his "wrongs" were committed. Nipplegate, Prince, drama, Britney etc all pre-date Twitter and the like. So he kinda got away with all that because people only knew/heard what the news or music shows told them. And all of those platforms always had a prescribed agenda (i.e. ignore Janet, drag Britney, prop up JT). Fast forward to now and social media has empowered the "normal" folk to share their opinions and basically call out the BS. Something that's plain to see with the amount of threads about JT's wrongdoings. Now his wrongs are being unearthed (retroactively) and pissing people off in the presence. All at once, he's re-angered the Blacks (Janet), music lovers (Prince), and Pop stans (Britney). Worse still he's done so at a time when such threads are what "educates" the younger generation about Pop's post. Now he's a villain and I struggle to see how he'll ever completely shrug it off. 

 

Justin IMO isn't done and will always be able to tour, have decent selling albums, occasional hit singles. But his untouchable era is done. Because once press feel it's ok to lash to the level he's being lashed, it's an uphill battle thereafter. He'll most likely be over 40 by time of next project and we all know how ageist industry is. More so to women, but still. 

 

I see him starting to play the Jay Z games, i.e. calculated collabs and Samsung, Sprint deals to spin the sales narrative in his favour. But the current backlash feels too big and spread across too many groups to ever truly be washed away. 

 

All of this.
