All that to randomly release years old songs with poor mixing, 0 visuals and no marketing plan.

I love y'all but this fandom has reached a brand new level of coping if it's moving onto "here's why 450K globally on Spotify on its debut day isn't bad actually"  Time to accept the era is a commercial catastrophe and just be excited for the music for music's sake. Only thing that can turn this around at this point is if that TikTok trend properly blows up or if the video is a huge attention-grabbing moment (and with the budget this era seems to have, I wouldn't count on that )

For a song that was released abruptly like this with no prior announcement, no video, etc, it's not.

 

also considering the wanna be remix only has 361K streams with THREE popular ppl on it, yeah this could've been worse. 
 

Bad would be what Chloe Bailey (and I like her) debuted at for 'Boy Bye'. If I saw those numbers then I would suggest she reevaluate her whole direction.

 funny how stans are thinking those million on youtube are organic  we're bad BAD 

 

Her intern remembered the TikTok password

 

You still expecting some commercial success at this point and with this kind of roll out and promo? lol just feel lucky that the album will be released in two weeks

Someone earlier in the thread said it best, "it's giving contractual obligation" from all involved parties. I hope she rebounds from this!

There yall go again, Some of  yall can never defend or uplift Normani without bringing down another artist. I am a Normani fan. Just because someone doing worse it doesn't mean she doing good. There is always someone doing less. To act like Normani is just an indie artist that just drop a surprise single with no playlisting is disingenuous. She might not gotten traditional promotion but she got a lot of playlisting and a heavy push on both Spotify and AM music, especially considering her streams. She gotten more promo and push than most other R&B girls. She literally the face of R&B on Apple Music.  You could barely find that wanna be remix on Spotify. For the amount of playlisting she received those numbers are not good. What makes it worse the song had a huge drops the next day.

It is true the rollout is bad but the response is also underwhelming.

 

To be honest it has more to do with previous singles than just the surprise release. Although I like 1:59 it is a horrendous lead single for a comeback, especially when us fans has been waiting for so along.

There is still chances to turn this around, but so far it is not it. 

It is okay to provide constructive criticism to your faves. 

If there's no physical preorder soon there's no way the album will even make it to the top 100  girl where are they.

 

Candy Paint would be doing so much better if she dropped it after Wild Side, shame.

1:59 > candy. im sick bc the snippet was good smh.

I'm about to become the joke in my friend's group. After all these years of supporting her this is what she gives me back 

 

am I the only one loving this track? it's a banger

But less than 300k streams on Spotify 2nd day? 🤔 

I'm scared for the album. RCA is trash when it comes to first weeks. Tate and Doja had smashes leading up to their albums last year and there were no physicals until months later  Even SOS didn't have physicals on release. I don't know a worse label for pop girls 

Idk wtf she's expecting not releasing any d*mn music videos. This recent trend in artists holding off music videos, which I feel is largelyyy due to Beyoncé is getting on my NERVES. Y'all are NOT BEYONCÉ!!! 
 

But even then, Beyoncé's lack of visuals for an era also greatly hindered what could've been maximized lmaooo! I'm so done like wtf!

Spending payola money in an AUDIO video has got to be the lowest we've reached  

 

On a lil more positive note, Spotify first day isn't all that bad when you compare it to her "peers" lol 

is this fr.. I didn't even notice this, I really thought that **** was organic..

 

at least the song is fire

Cute track. Much better than the first single. Not worth the hype I've seen around it for years in this forum though.
