Not you bragging about a #19-23-37 chart run with all that shameless payola :bibliahh:The bar is in hell. Cute of you to ignore the fact Make Me was at #17 in its 7th week.

RIAA:

Futuresex/Lovesounds - 4x Platinum

Justified - 3x P

The 20/20 Experience - 2x P

The 20/20 Experience 2 of 2 - P

Man of the Woods - P

EITIW - N/A

 

Baby One More Time - 14x P

 

I think it’s time we stop letting the Timberlake stans pretend he was ever on Britney’s level.

You’re going to have to find another excuse.

I never said he would do good numbers with this era from the beginning. So his sold out tour is a lie now?

Ok? And the only parts talked about were Justin. Nobody cared about anything she had to say if it wasn't about Justin. That's kinda sad considering it was a tell-all.

Your world sounds fascinating. I’d like to go there for a visit

praying for their delusional minds if they really think he is close to Britney's legendary status

He failed to adapt at all as an artist, he was interesting to some in the 00s but that was 2 decades ago. He had a quick resurgence in the early 10s but that was a decade ago. 

 

No artistic vision, no versatility, woman hater, and can’t rely as much on good looks. All brutal blows to white mediocrity.

You can tell they only cared about Justin by the way they’re buying his new music. It’s not like Britney’s book sold more pure copies than any JT album since 2006 :fan:

Her 6th album is Circus, according to Google. Comparing a 2000s album to a 2024 album to feel like she's doing anything is... a choice. And his album isn't even out yet. This is so desperate

It’s the lead single to his sixth album and the second single to his sixth album. Having to rely on airplay in February to chart and struggling to go Gold with both combined is not something to brag about. 
 

If you’re going to brag that’s more successful than Britney, at least wait until his two singles do better than Britney’s last two unpromoted releases :lmao:

I clearly quoted you about the good music. But he has also already dropped out of his promo tour AND just canceled a date yesterday.

Looks like Selfish did better numbers than this thanks to the headlines Britney's Selfish gave it. Drown has no hype. Nobody knows it is out. Nobody cares.

To put things into prespective, this is nearly 500K less than 2013 demo MIND YOUR BUSINESS. 

 

Is Justin's era doomed? He has no songs on Spotify Global ahead of his album release despite a current TTH placement + heavy payola.

 

What went wrong?

People mistakenly think the lyrics are an expression of regret over how he played Britney.
 

They don’t get he is consciously using this song (which he already had in his back pocket) to suggest that he is so regretful of his past conduct towards her that it has made him not just reflective but also suicidal.

 

It is a delicious counter narrative, so delicious that people cannot help but want to lap it up and forgive him, when in reality he feels no remorse at all and is clinically using the story of these (already written) song lyrics to allude to a forgiveness he does not feel for a person he hurt.

 

In reality he is so desperate to maintain his former level of star power (he senses fading), that he is happy for his audience to believe he really is suicidal so winning back the sympathy vote as a tactic to ensure they don’t drop him.  It is sick, it is a desperate tactic and he needs to go away and hang his head in shame and do some true soul searching.

 

There is another active thread at the moment (completely unrelated to Justin) discussing method acting. If only more people could see that is exactly what they are buying in to from Justin during the rollout of this promotional single.

Is this a single ?? I tought it was a promo single 

 

I actually like this song, well… not surprised since he is not at his best moment with the GP

Posted (edited)

His recording career just burned out like almost every other artist's after 20 years. There is also the long breaks which play a role too but I don't think there would be a radical difference success wise had he been more active in music. 

 

He can focus on his touring.

Watching Britney and Justin (???) Stan’s fighting in 2024 is just a trip :jonnycat:

Too bad all that interest didn't translate to streaming numbers
