I don't know she can always lower the key, she's done it other songs in the past, but I guess it's to exhausting for her to sing specially if she goes on tour. I've realised she doesn't sing YLM neither Spoiler It will probably be back in the future, I wanted a change and go back to my "thot" era as @WhalieX and others would say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therapywu Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Really don't understand why BTB performs so bad on Spotify. Hurt is the first track to reach the milestone. The album hasn't reached 300m yet, which was lower than Christina Aguilera which was released over 20 years ago.. Hurt and Candyman perform pretty well on YouTube, though. However, Candyman only has 70m plays on Spotify like Ain't no other man, which is her best single with favor of critics, somehow just weirdly doesn't connect with the GP.

Streams are driven by hits and familiarity, the GP plays songs they are familiar with whether thanks to radio or another popular channel. Christina Aguilera, although much much older than B2B, has more hits that the GP knows. That ANOTM and Candyman both have 70M streams on Spotify is actually impressive. ———- OT : Great, deserved. I think this is her most successful song in France, or at least second to GIAB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnanimousBB16 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I always find it interesting that some songs that artists pay dust end up becoming some of their more popular songs, over the ones they push over and over again through the years. 32 minutes ago, Pedro Labre said: The streams match de time it was released + wasn’t huge like the other two albums + she didn’t made into streaming era like Shakira and Beyonce to boost every old album 20 minutes ago, BnPac said: Streams are driven by hits and familiarity, the GP plays songs they are familiar with whether thanks to radio or another popular channel.

The era came and went pretty quickly, and didn't leave much of a strong impression on the general public. Plus, not lasting long enough to adapt to other formats just doomed this era. "Back to Basics" could have done a lot worse, despite everything going against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, not lasting long enough to adapt to other formats just doomed this era. "Back to Basics" could have done a lot worse, despite everything going against it. I don't think it came and went it pulled good numbers when it was released. The numbers for Hurt and Candyman are respectable and even pretty strong in YT which should also taken into account (210M and 300M combined views respectively are actually impressive). Both are covered in shows from time to time as well. As that user said Xtina has the handicap of not being able to transition into the digital era let alone the streaming one to boost her catalogue more which is a shame but it is what it is. I will say the album as a whole it's not as accesible to pop fans, it's not as "instant" apart from maybe the 3 singles that were released. It's not that it's complex or weird since it's retro sound which tends to be popular from time to time, but the songs are lengthy and not as pop-y as for example let's say Bruno Mars' material which dabs into all of that but with a more catchy and pop radio friendly way.
