It’s a classic at this point.

The question would be, which album is not over 30, tragic 

[Protocol]

30 flopped on streaming, I don't know how anyone can deny it at this point. Obviously "Easy On Me" was a huge hit but it did not translate to streams for the album. It's very weird. The pure sales audience she had with 21 and 25 also vanished with this album (yes, I know it's the best-selling album in pure copies in a while, but it's still massively lower than 25 by like 17 million copies or more), but that audience doesn't seem like they sought out the album on streaming either. And the audience that streamed the hell out of "Easy On Me", turning it into a big WW hit, also did not bother to check out the album.

 

It's as if the hype and momentum she had from those two HUGE eras was only good for "Easy On Me".

Replayability was the issue. 30 has quite a few great songs, but re-listening to them is a chore. Like for example My Little Love is very interesting song, but after 2/3 listens it feels exhausting because those conversations are too intimate and rather unrelatable.

30 is a bigger bomb than Witness in retrospect.

Lets not get carried away.. 5M sold are some huge numbers that are rarely seen nowadays.

 

But the fact that they let this album just die is unparalleled

[Cloudy]

The way 30 flopped. I called it from the moment EOM was released

 

And no nobody is surprised, Familia is the biggest bomb of the year and ANTi is an awsome and beloved album by one of the most universal and loved pop stars from the last two decades

the way y'all celebrating the downfall of Adele whe she's harmless.. tragic and disgusting tbh. 

 

*Streams 21 to boost her career total stats which will remain untouched*
