AFullMoonlight Posted Saturday at 06:55 PM Share Posted Saturday at 06:55 PM 27 minutes ago, Flare said: Why are you melting down? Hell, since when are you a meltdown stan? Be calm - I do think it's time we question why Normani & her team booked no festivals, no concrete tour news, no stationhead/fan live, no in person event post-release, no tv interviews, no radio interviews, no performance on a late show, no day time talk show, no podcast interview, no twitter album q&a, no studio footage, no discussion of working with victoria (she dropped this week, use her name for clout hello!), not even a tiktok live? Like what's going on here? It's giving they think she's Beyonce for real. Drop and go silent. I can understand no music videos and stuff that take budget but everything I just listed (minus the performances if they get dancers or any in-person event) is cheap or free. Exactly. Where's the content she did with Destiny Vaughn? I can understand the aversion to social media, but she can do stuff like recorded performances and diary videos. They promote her like a tenure act and although she's been in the industry for a minute, she's nothing of the sort. This is a brand new spanking artist who needs to be promoting her stuff. She says nobody cares more than her, but she doesn't act like it. People on the outside (not a part of her base) thinks this is absolutely crazy and unheard of because it is. Also, it's high time Spotify stopped having streaming data available to the public. Hate that a great album is about to get crapped on because it didn't meet unrealistic expectations. They better work the hell out of this for the rest of the year! I'm expecting to see her name on festival lineups soon. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remming Posted Saturday at 07:04 PM Share Posted Saturday at 07:04 PM I feel like the only people having a breakdown about the numbers are delusional. I have known from how the rollout has been that the numbers weren't going to be good. People may have thought I was being a hater but I really love Normani. I am just realistic The album is great and getting good feedback. If her team releases the music videos the same day the physical copies ship, her album may be able to re-peak later this summer. Maybe in the top 15. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nooniebao Posted Saturday at 07:05 PM Share Posted Saturday at 07:05 PM 18 minutes ago, Flare said: My question is, what are they expecting? What's the plan? I'm getting the vibe they aren't doing any tour or anything lowkey. They might release some visuals then Normani is going off to do movies or something else. It's giving a "here damn theres the album shut up" moment and not "omg we're dropping a high quality debut album that we'll push the rest of 2024 and try to get a grammy nom". The complete lack of effort even after seeing the initial GOOD reception, scares me. She keeps talking about touring though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_jays_ Posted Saturday at 07:26 PM Share Posted Saturday at 07:26 PM Why is everyone freaking out when her AM performance has been exceeding expectations? even her iTunes sales have been good. theres more than just Spotify. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anybody's truly freaking out. True meltdowns are the ones we had after the Fair video diabolical (iykyk) and of course that recent tussle with the track list debate. I think this album is really resonating with the audience she hadn't secured yet coming from a Pop girl group which is why we're seeing the switch from Spotify to Apple. She's doing decently for somebody with lack of promo. So that's great at least. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friendlyreminder Posted Saturday at 07:52 PM Share Posted Saturday at 07:52 PM 5 minutes ago, Givemeyourcoat said: What are her AM numbers ? The album is in the Top 6 of all albums GLOBALLY on Apple Music and #9 in the USA. In the US she's the #3 female album behind Billie and Taylor On ITunes she's #3 in the US and has charted in the top 10 in many countries Spotify (where most of their listeners are free accounts) skews heavily towards pop and country so I'm not surprised Normani hasn't done well there on day 1. There's still plenty of time though, some of the early TikTok vids are getting traction 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean in the Album thread but I quickly realized who we're dealing with over there lol I'm so happy about her connecting with the audience she's wanted though. They'll be the ones to propel this album. 7 minutes ago, Givemeyourcoat said: What are her AM numbers ? Not totally sure but there are songs rising up the pop and R&B charts and the album holding steady at #9 would appear to be a good sign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFullMoonlight Posted Saturday at 08:10 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:10 PM (edited) Just noticed All Yours is listed as a single on AM Edited Saturday at 08:10 PM by AFullMoonlight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelven Posted Saturday at 08:13 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:13 PM 3 minutes ago, AFullMoonlight said: Just noticed All Yours is listed as single on AM What I find interesting is that the "Trending Songs" tab on the home page of Apple Music updated this morning and All Yours moved up from its previous position last night. 1:59 and Candy Paint both consistently fell down the list as time went on. So could be a good sign that it's connecting well on the playlists it's in. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethereal Posted Sunday at 12:52 AM Share Posted Sunday at 12:52 AM On the bright side, this did better than Chloe's debut, which had multiple visuals and promo. After a 2-year hiatus, Mani's numbers outdid my expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

remming Posted Sunday at 01:01 AM Share Posted Sunday at 01:01 AM Me and @shelven were posting our low predictions for weeks now. This isn't shocking. Normani still put out a great body of work she can build on. People just don't know she exists. . She's going to have to stop this disappearing act for a while. RCA also should have booked her somewhere this week. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
