Virtual_Insanity Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 5 hours ago, Narima said: when Smile was released merch bundles still counted, that didn't change until october 9th No they weren't still counted. The only thing that counted for Smile was the extra cover editions which could still be preordered and counted up to a certain date, when the rule changed prior to its actual release. At that point merch had also changed in that it had to be offered seperately on the website and each thing added as a seperate purchase. Merch bundles, as in hoodie plus digital copy combined were gone by the time Smile was released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I mean let's be real, the Dua collab was literally acting like Plastic Hearts lifeboat in the US. The way it plummetted down the charts from one week to the next. It was completely skewing the performance of the actual album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merch bundles, as in hoodie plus digital copy combined were gone by the time Smile was released. This changed at the beginning of 2020, and what labels did was put the bundles front page and the merch without album hided in the website. So they changed the rules again Quote As for merchandise/album bundles, beginning Oct. 9, no further sales of albums can be reported if bundled with merchandise, even if the album and merchandise are available à la carte. Albums scheduled for release on or before Oct. 8 can report sales generated from the bundles, but only through Oct. 8. https://www.billboard.com/articles/business/9417842/billboard-new-chart-rules-no-more-merch-ticket-bundles/ Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Sorry Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 6 hours ago, chosensparkles said: to be honest, I was a former Lovatic and left when Confident/TMYLM happened but this album really caught me off guard especially after the droplets last year.... it's fun to troll but I applaud her for releasing her best album to date I get what you mean, this album feels very cohesive as a whole. I am not yet tired of listening to it, i am not streaming just to stream it as I did with I Love Me for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC and TKOLIA have the catchiest melodies but are kinda awkward lyrically so I can't see them resonating with the GeePee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I despise MGAMB so much, like it's awful. Saweetie's verse is (it sounds like it's some bad fan made edit) I agree WOPS could be a good HAC hit but that boat has long sailed. I agree about the lyrics, but I don't know many people don't even pay attention to the lyrics. But yeah she doesn't have that many options tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
