Lille Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 The quick lil' hits never translate to people actually being interested in the artist/album. Good luck to them.
Dr. Alexander Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 When the image overpowers the music, you end up like Sam Smith.

Stop insisting that gay people have to accept and like everything they gay people do and to not like it is internalized homophobia. Get a life and get off Twitter where you were obviously raised. Imma need you to expand on this because you literally just proved their point
Wondy Lust Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 I mean, after listening to Unholy and and INHTMF I'm not really keen on listening to the rest of the album lol.

Like we are obligated to like it regardless of whether they are trash or not. The response to my reply was basically saying that if I didn’t support Sam then it was internalized homophobia which REEKED of the same flop thought process that Billie and Toderick have.

PopFan1996 Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 These Sam numbers got me worried about our sis Miley. As we see, a huge HIT doesn't guaranty an album could sell
Punky Rooster Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 I'd be so embarrassed clicking play on a Sam Smith album, seems like the GP are the same.
SimpleKindofLife Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 Sam has alienated the GP as much as they possibly could. A huge TikTok song couldn’t even save their image

And she was coming from a huge flop like Younger Now. Miley won't have huge numbers with her next album but she could still do good if she plays well her cards The problem with Sam is that they alienated their fanbase/GP support with songs/videos like Unholy.

There is difference between “not supporting” someone, and characterizing them as a non-binary equivalent of an internet troll for the way they “act” in dresses. Meanwhile, nothing that Sam does remotely fits this categorization unless you find a non-binary queer individual dressing and acting the way they want to (and is not even remotely equivalent to the crazy **** other popstars have worn/done) be “a walking meme”

She has a fandom and a years long consistent image and demographic she's been aiming her music to. Sam, on the other hand, keeps throwing stuff at the wall until something sticks. And you just dont build a fanbase or grow GP interest doing that

No one said she was going to debut with less. I know she will debut with more. My point was that Sam Smith debuted 41k with Love Goes without a HIT. And now they're debuting with similar numbers with Gloria. So a HIT doesn't guaranty the album will debut with higher numbers
ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted January 29, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted January 29, 2023 So, Charli potentially outsold Sam?

Armani? Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 Not gonna lie, very horrible numbers for Sam considering how big Unholy is
Mark Rih Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 It was kinda obvious that Unholy wouldn’t have gotten him a hit album but.. this numbers are just I expected like 50K Also sad to see SZA reign ending. Hope she’s back at #1 next week
TrieLz Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 Yasss TXT finally hit #1 Soobin will be very happy! anyway Sam boombing hard as expected
