Looking at the way things are going, I highly doubt it. This seems to be performing on par with Dangerous Woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisTheLoner Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Very subpar numbers but that’s what her and her team get for rush releasing it during the election week also while the pandemic enters a second wave. Basically a terrible release schedule is mainly to blame I’d say. She still delivered quality though and an underperformance won’t change that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eleganceislearned Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 So I guess TUN was her peak. This is around what it deserves IMO. Makes sense considering the meh material and the busy news cycle. 2 hours ago, Icarus said: So officially less than half of TUN's first week. Katy could never decline that fast. Get Max Martin on the phone. Or even Pharrell. IDK why, but "Or even Pharrell" is killing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Claire Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Terrible numbers for her. She should be thankful for all the exposure Spotify and AM gives her, otherwise it would've been an actual bomb. Only 42k fans (actually, less than that considering she had cassettes, 2 alternative covers and fans who bought the album multiple times) that actually cared to buy her record? This is alarming When a natural decline happens, an artist needs their fanbase to at least have good debuts... so they buy the record even if the album does bad on other metrics. When Ariana's streaming power starts to fade, what will happen to her? I'm curious to Witness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess some people will now learn that having signed CDs doesn't automatically guarantees an easy rod to massive sales and 8 weeks at #1 week after week. I can now name you dozens of artists who have had many bundles and who have failed to chart for more than 2 weeks let alone 8. Some TALENT sells because they have THE demand first and foremost, not because of existing bundles, If having bundles meant that artists would sell as much as as those who have demand, we’d see 800k+ first week sales every other week. bundles don’t work if you don’t have the DEMEND and T A L E N T.
