I'm not losing hope tbh.

There's too much Scarlet statues plopping everywhere.

If I were them I would have like 5 different album covers ready.   Even if it’s just digital.  Each would count as a separate sale (à la BTS “Butter”).   
 

Collect ‘em all like Pokémon cards  

 

I say all this to say…it’s not THAT big of a deal if she misses #1.  But why not do a Hail Mary and at least TRY.  

Gun and Agora Hills

Someone on Twitter said that none of them had a #1 song and album at same time…is that true? I feel like Lauryn did, no? 

 

No, they haven't done it at the same time

 

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill reached #1 around September-October of 1998 and Do *** That Thing debuted at #1 in November of 1998 (because she released the physical single 2 months later)

and wait…Queen didn’t go #1? 
 

 

It hasn’t gotten a #1 album since the 1st Obama administration 

Wait Balut didnt chart on the Global 200 on Spotify?.. mess.

 

I wonder how the first day streams will be. 

 

PTTR will probably do 8.5-9M

 

every album cut might average around 750k-1.1M

 

Maybe like 22M streams first day?

 

We’ll see

It’s a promo track with no video, that she didn’t even mention was released.  It will be OK.  Lol.  
 

Promo singles = art

Focus singles = charts

 

Next one we should be worried about numbers-wise is “Agora Hills.”  Almost a guarantee it’ll be on TTH next Friday.

LOL no she is doing above 40M easily. Wouldn't surprise me if it's like 50M or 60M.

60M is a total reach. Especially since the promo singles all didnt make that much noise. This album will be Endless Summer Vacation’ed

You’re hella negative lately sis, when Agora Hills smashes lets come back to this comment 

Agora Hills, Gun will make good numbers both on Spotify/Apple. 

 

And i bet, her team will put 3 songs on TTH playlist, like Olivia's team 

damn Barbs chose violence this morning as it seems lol

Exactly.   

 

People getting in their feelings about promo single numbers.  I could understand the negative attitude about Attention underperforming, b/c we didn’t understand their release strategy atp.  
 

But now that we’ve seen more of the rollout…it’s not that hard to grasp what’s going on.  Lol.  
 

With PTTR smashing, I don’t see how this is ANY different than Planet Her era.  She only had KMM smashing when it was released.

 

People keep forgetting NTK was a flop initially , so it was truly only KMM doing its thing upon album release.

I love that she's a lot more vocal about the album lately on Instagram. like she's actually defending her music and clarifiying the misconceptions

 

her last story about beatmakers for example, like we damn well know that you don't create beats doja but don't discredit yourself you're still the one who picked them, created a whole story around them, harmonized and arranged layers of vocals. at the end of the day you had the vision for each song.

She does though, but in the past felt she shouldn’t get credit b/c she asks other producers/engineers to mix it for her.  

“Tia + Tamera” and “Bottom *****” are the two that come to mind right now. 
 

Those premature Apple Music credits made us think she went back to making beats.  

 

But yeah overall I agree with you.  And as involved as she is (asking producers to make changes to beats, etc), most artists would definitely still ask for production credit regardless.  She too humble.  

So excitedddddd 

mhh i agree that she will get a few other hits from this album but if we are talking debuts i think she will do around 25-30M. She's the queen of longevity and viral hits but her debuts are not big. Planet Her did 27M but it was a poppy album with big features, this one doesn't seem like it will be as commercial. I'm hoping for the best but i'm not expecting much

that user is deranged anyway i pay no mind to their comments lol no shade

 

anyway yeah, why expect immediate success from doja? she’s never been that uber mega successful girl like that (at least for debuts) and that is okayyy

Edited September 16, 20232 yr by dangerousalex

HDD: Rod Wave 130-140k, Olivia Rodrigo 100k

 

So basically Doja just needs to do around 100k-110k to get the #1 next week

 

For comparison Planet Her did 109k the first week (without physical copies I believe)

Day 26 of manifesting for a new album cover 

 

I thought it was the official cover... 

Demons is kinda the best single so far...

Didn't like it at first but the VMA perfomance sold me

 

 

I'M A PUPPET I'M A SHEEP I'M A CASHCOW I'M THE FASTEST GROWING BІTCH ON ALL YOUR APPS NOW

For me it's Paint The Town Red > Attention > Demons > Balut, but I love all of them and I didn't listen to leaked snippets or snippets from her live so that my first album listening will be WILD. Climing 97 and Agora Hills for sure

is this still coming this friday? Sept 22nd?

Now wait a damn minute. So was this a preview of Scarlet....or the inception?  Idk how I never made the connection
