glacier76 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Nirvana’s Nevermind debuted at 144 and became the success it is. Maroon 5’s Songs About Jane took 11 months to even chart, two years before it entered the top 10. Jewel’s debut initially failed to chart but blew up two years later after a tour with Bob Dylan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of Time and I Was Here was enough to make this album sell millions of copies. IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the album debut below 1m, her 1st album fail to do that in 9 years and then also only spend 1 week at #1 (her only studio albums not spend multi weeks at #1 beside debut album) the mixed review it`s also not serve good longevity in the 1st two years compare to her other albums.

Most of this is not true. Lover had better reviews than Reputation and had better longevity during its first two years. YNTCD had decent longevity and topped adult pop radio. It was the #1 IFPI album of 2019. People act like there's a huge gap between Folklore and Lover success at launch but that's just not true. The only Taylor Swift album that is a bit close to a flop is Evermore and even that would look like a huge success for her peers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BnPac Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 B'Day opened with 500k, it was not a flop by any means. The singles just performed poorly until Irreplaceable. 4 fits that more. Still it was more of underperformance imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KKCuteCat Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Avril's Let Go was a huge flop in UK, debuting with only 74 copies me think and then went to to peak at #1 and become one of the best selling album of all time there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it opened with that number but started sliding down the charts because deja vu and ring the alarm werent really doing much. I think if they didnt release Irreplaceable or didnt become the success it did the era would have probably sold less thant Back To Basics in the US which came out a few weeks before it.

The album was only greenlighted after the club success of Everybody. The album wasn't even planned when that song was released. Both Everybody and Burning Up were originally recorded before she was even signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
