Melanie Martinez outsold Doja Cat and Ed Sheeran combined in 2023. Surprised?

unlike most of the “surprised?” threads on here, this is actually genuinely shocking :hoetenks: if someone would’ve said 2 years ago that this would happen, they legit would’ve been reported for trolling.

It is not extra, it called nasty attitude.

I understand that Xtina can be jealous and having nasty attitude towards her peers like Britney, Beyoncé, Pink or even Madonna but to an innocent kid on the voice like Melanie is just pure evil.

On the other hand, Portals left the BB200 after 21 weeks.

Scarlet will still probably end up charting longer. Idk about Ed’s bomb though

First week sales is such a dumb instrument for measurement of success 

Look at the streaming numbers. No song on the Melanie album is above 100m streams. Her fans bought the album and put it on a shelf

Not really, she has a solid fanbase and Doja is a GP dependent artist.


But PORTALS was an interesting era and I think it rightfully garnered a bit of attention

Well, that probably evens out monetarily so does it really matter?

One CD. Just one. Ed vinyls were not released on release week that is the only way it can count for Billboard for debut numbers. 

? Literally every record store i’ve visited this week has Ed’s album on vinyl. It was available on Amazon too I’m pretty sure

Melanie hadn't released in a while and has built a strong connection to her fanbase. I thoroughly believe Doja's fanbase comments contributed to why her album is doing so awful vs. PTTR

Is your comprehensive skills low? 
 

(Release Week) 

Is your ******* itchy and sore? If the album was released Friday 29, was this past week not part of that album release week, dummy? Being rude and stupid in the same post is WILD. 
 

 

edit: here you go. AVAILABLE SEPTEMBER 29. worms for brains!

And how many songs from Dojas last album will surpass that? Attention is the lead single struggling to surpass 50m. First week sales are important it shows the interest of your main people. More sales and more weeks can only happen if you have singles on the radio.

wow she can probably do a stadium tour like Ed or at least an arena tour like Doja.

Ugh, I forgot that mass buying doesn't represent real demand, that happens when a fan buys an album 10 times. :gaycat:

I think we're in an era where it's much more about having a fanbase than it is topping charts and being relevant among the general public. That's too fickle to rely on and we see with someone like Melanie Martinez that honing a dedicated fanbase will take you far.

Melanie has a solid fan base huh

Left the BB200 after 21 weeks though. Doja will have a longer stay
