Let’s not be dense though, that’s precisely WHY expectations are higher. Her pulling these numbers with 70M monthly listeners and a huge WW smash is not good. Like at all. She is very much giving a singles artist in the rapper realm. No one is consuming her album as a body of work. Just a couple hits.

So she’s being held to a higher standard because she’s simply far and beyond above her peers. 

 

Sounds like a SMASHA artist to me, constantly raising the bar, the next Rihanna

Almost half the streams coming from one song on a 17 track album

no matter how I try to spin this the numbers aren't very good

[wish]

Can't Wait totally overperformed compared to the other tracks around it. Quality always wins

Ouchies, Gun, Go off and can't wait. They need to pick 2-3 for future singles 

[professor2000]

People aren’t consuming the album, because it’s a completely separate vibe compared to her previous works (and the singles they presented).  Like…duh.  
 

RCA/her team dumb for not doing more promo explaining her creative process + separately trying to patch things up with Black audience (presumably who would even be remotely interested in a Boom bap-inspired Rap album).  And still even that would’ve been risky.  Boom bap is just……not it, commercially.  Regardless of the artist.  Especially these days.  

 

I think she could’ve delivered a Rap album, but with her own twist…that could’ve been appealing to her various audiences… a la BWET.  Oh well! 
 

With that said, it’s still serving quality…especially in comparison to what we’ve been getting from rap lately (female or male).

Idk if Gun would actually get played on radio though…as someone else pointed out earlier.  
 

But agree with rest, outside of Ouchies…I just can’t get into it.    
 

Otherwise, they might have to do a deluxe and add some more songs.  But it’ll have to be Doja idea, b/c if not…it’ll never happen

It’s just after Agora Hills? Some people just take longer than 30 seconds to get away from the album.

130 million streams is a very solid number

Well Can't wait is that girl for me so if it can get a spring visual serving throwback realness then I am content.

I loved the album and listened to a few times but LMAO at her fans acting as if those horrible numbers are good  

 

she is this decades most promoted artist and genZ is totally aware of who doja is and when she has music out. Tiktok works for her. Those numbers are HORRIBLE. After all those years of working and promoting people didn’t give a f which is concerning. She should shut up and stop having a big mouth to everyone and only focus on making music. She should be controlled and i don’t care if this sounds toxic lol

[Power love]

Perhaps she should have one more pop rap album before taking this massive risk. What’s for sure though RCA will make her release a more mainstream album next  era.

 

Best believe that

[Rev8]

Why do the users who insist that she is flopping, sound like they are having a meltdown?

Why would WE have a meltdown over her flopping?  she is doing terrible and we are pointing that out. 

[Harsh2256]

Unrelated but pttr being a constant #1 on the global charts seems like a huge accomplishment

I love the album lol but i’m not going to listen to the delusions of her fans. The single is doing great the rest? Is it normal that during the album release week the lead single is doing just 4m streams?
