Assassin Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) Her previous album "Alicia" debuted at #4 last year. All her previous 7 albums are top 5 hits. What happened?? Edited December 20, 2021 by Assassin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brando Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 this is sad tbh i didn't know anything about this album until about 3/4 days ago when i saw a thread on ATRL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Both Sides Now Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Sad but 1. She released during Christmas 2. It had no hit whereas ALICIA had Underdogs 3. Did it have physicals? … Get ready for this to be a common occurrence for all legacy acts that didn’t establish themselves with a streaming base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ab1818 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Releasing during the Christmas season where Christmas albums and songs are dominating. Sales are also down for many artists in general though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allforyou Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 She didn’t release it physically so I think that’s why it debuted so low, it also isn’t as good as her last album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rihannabiggestfan Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Wasn't it not predicted to be top 50 by HDD? That's pretty off, but pretends to be shocked given their Adele predictions Bundling being banned nowadays doesn't help either (and her lack of physicals, I guess) @Assassin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 So disappointing. Not releasing physicals really hurt her, she could have maybe hit top 20 otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otter Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) The actual numbers are not that much lower than Alicia was it? (1/2) It was just a more competitive period. In anycase its clear she's past pulling any kind of great numbers,and she made no effort to push this album.

brainmaniac Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) Even flop albums by older pop girls usually still go Top 10. Avril Lavigne missing the Top 10 with her last flop album was kind of surprising, but for Alicia Keys to miss the Top 40 is on a whole other level I guess they thought her double album would have twice the SPS, but you need to have good streaming for that to even work. But this will probably be the norm now for older pop girls to chart low on the Billboard 200 as streaming keeps increasing and labels becoming more resistant to releasing physicals.

loveisdead9582 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 It’s the Christmas season. She should have waiting until next month. I had no idea she was even releasing anything so lack of promo probably didn’t help either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
