Not everyone can be on Taylor/Harry’s level  guess doja isn’t there yet

She isn't even on Chromatica's vinyl sales level for context

[hallucinate]

flop confirmed

her next lead single is going to debut with 10k streams 

[TheFameCurse]

Streaming her for free is more of a good "deal". Gas prices are high as ****. 

[genio]

16k is actually pretty decent for someone who isn't fully established yet, her fanbase is still growing. 

[chaneloberlin]

This is unsurprising to anybody with sense considering the streaming longevity of this album was largely influenced as a result of extended tiktok virality (what the GP is force-fed) and not from any actual increase in fanbase size 

 

awful sales but like i said, unsurprising 

[Ampersand13]

Hey, considering how long it's taken and the lack of acknowledgement regarding their shipment I'd say this isn't bad at all. The album has served such great longevity maybe I'll have to snatch a copy just wish there were variants

[bocelli]

Omg the tragicnesss

[YR.]

I promise you that no one under 30 cares

Then they call her a superstar  A superstar's first requirement is to be able to sell albums

There should've been multiple color variants & there was absolutely no promotion from her or her team.

After 9 months, Planet Her's vinyls have finally shipped and the numbers came in at an underwhelming 16.5k sales

hmm...I think she is still a new star so I don't think 16.5k units is that underwhelming

It's released towards the end of the era.

I'm sure in future eras vinyls will increase as she builds her fanbase

[Cain]

She doesn't really make timeless music, I like some Doja songs but she's giving flavor of the year

It's giving Rihanna teas but the truth is who is going to waste money on vinyls other than stans that use it as a collectors items based on if the vinyl has coloring or design. It isn't something a newer artist is going to get stans to invest in just yet...but in about 3 years or so I expect the numbers to show a noticeable increase.

 

Physicals might be a little different but most people who purchase Vinyls don't even use them. A collectors items for die hard fans

Not the proverbial... Doja is a massive threat to everyone and people are performing voodoo to initiate a downfall when she is generally more liked with minimal dislike with her popular music.

Don't you think it's too early to say that her music isn't timeless???

I don't get dated from her music at all. I get fusion of pop, rhythmic and elements of hip hop and other genres.

 

Kiss me more  and Get into yuh might make your point. 

 

Say so, Need to know, Woman and other songs might show otherwise.

 

Alot of dated music is sold on vinyls, too.

[AMX]

Only diehard fans who keep up with updates accounts knew about it since it had virtually no promotion. To add, it wasn’t one of the colorful vinyls that are trending today. 

[By the Water]

Well, that might not be Billie/Olivia-level but it's more than twice as much what Bieber did with Justice

Yeah and it would’ve helped if she would’ve just released the original version of PH.  
 

She changed tracklist at last min…which meant all the original physicals are collecting dust at RCA or in a warehouse somewhere.    All of those were ready before release date.  
 

That’s prob why we didn’t get color variants.  They already spent a **** ton of $$$.  Oh well!

You all said shes the new rihanna but she can't sell albums ijbol. Billie and Olivia from the current gen are selling physicals like hot cakes so that's not an excuse

Rihanna sucked at selling albums too  (relative to her singles success)

[BuzzCharts]

She’s a GP artist without a big core fanbase.  No amount of promotion would have made these sell.

Yes, she’s relatively new artist building her base but very silly thing to say about promo. Promo will always help because casual buyers and streamers exist. I doubt Billie would have moved 73k vinyls under the same conditions PH vinyls we’re done. 
 

On the other end, justice debuted with less and it 4 vinyl variants. Justin is way more famous, for way longer and has solid core fanbase.  

[Scorp]

Who's surprised? She has no solo #1 hits, no #1 albums, can't tour on her own. This isn't a shock to anyone with eyes and ears.

Literally, anyone who's following music trends can see this. But of course they'll call us haters

[Cheers]

Uh, so? Only old people and gays buy vinyls
