RT Air Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Mess, I thought it couldn't get worse than The Spirit Indestructible for Nelly. From what I've heard so far, The Ride sounds like a pretty good album, too. I feel sad for her, because you can tell she worked hard on this album and is very committed to it.

carameldisco Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 This is sad but if she's happy doing her own thing and doesn't care about charts as y'all say then good for her I guess I used to love Nelly back in the day but I absolutely hated Say It Right so I stopped checking on her after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was two successful albums. Her second album flopped too. She never had two successful albums in a row. That's why there's no fanbase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why there's no fanbase compared to what she had with TSI and with this album, it was a major smash. It did find some success in some territories though. But even with two albums that came out within a few years, you'd expect more than 1.8k to be left who are really rabid fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well sis anything looks like a blockbuster compared to TSI and this album But remember those numbers that she had for the second album were considered terrible for 2003. You can't really maintain a fanbase with those numbers You gotta remember about 5-6 years passed from Whoa Nelly to Loose. A lot of fans moved on by then. Also Nelly had more of a singer songwriter/folk thing going on Whoa Nelly and her going sexy and urban on Loose alienated a lot of fans who had been loyal, which was okay because she gained new fans from Loose, But then those new fans weren't given follow up material in a timely fashion to solidify their loyalty to Nelly and once again another 5-6 years passed and those new fans peaced out and that's what led to TSI being a disaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Promiscious', 'Stay It Right' and 'Give It To Me' were inescapable on radio. What has to happen for all those fans who took 'Loose' to 10M sales to just disappear The casual public is not made of fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even 10k. She's been basically invisible since Loose so this should've been completely expected. No one really knows who she is currently. Not a large bulk of streaming / buying public anyway.
