Physicals were the only thing that could've saved her, especially in December :rip: oh well

TBH I haven’t liked an album since ‘As I Am’ and not a single since ‘Try Sleeping…’, but I keep hoping she gives us another great album one day

What album? When did this come out? Where’s the lead single? Is she still with J Records? :chick1:

The numbers are in no way an assessment of the quality. There are some solid tracks on the album. The release could’ve been handled better but she’s been doing this for 20 years, she really has nothing to prove. Once she gets plays on urban radio the project will be more stable, simple as that.

The fact that this even has to be said tho :rip:

 

Anyone trying to judge Alicia's album without having heard it is ridiculous.

Agreed. This is probably her best album since Element Of Freedom imo. Even tho I loved HERE.

She cannot re-create In Common 2.0 so it's expected her career would fall off

Lack of physicals, lack of public interest/hype, and she released during Christmas week. I didn’t even know she had an album coming. Hopefully word of mouth gives it some legs, but she’s an established act so she’ll be fine regardless.

Looking at her streams for her last album, streams aren’t great. Why did they think releasing without physical was a good idea

… Get ready for this to be a common occurrence for all legacy acts that didn’t establish themselves with a streaming base :rip:

This lol

 

most of the 90s and 00s girls don’t have  a streaming presence so this will be more common.

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 :rip:

4. "ALICIA received a sales boost from a concert ticket/album sale redemption offer with her upcoming US tour"

who the hell approved the release of a legacy act album during Christmas, without physicals? :rip: did Alicia do this to get out of a contract or something?

She has a dedicated "soccer mom" fanbase who would buy her album for the holiday so releasing the album without physicals is really dumb

 

It has 0 playlisting whatsover so the number is kinda good ngl

But 20.8k sales is still good. I thought that was enough for a top 10 maybe :dies: Are albums selling again?

Exactly, I said she failed to make another In Common 2.0 hence why her album flopped!
