If its the total, this doesnt make any sense and screams sabotage They're not US numbers The pre-singles weren't doing huge numbers, but it feels like the album release went under the radar Edited May 4 by BrokenMachine
Kristie Kuwa Posted May 4 Posted May 4 These numbers are weird. Maybe she doesnt have autoplay, no push on streaming, or so.. but this is not natural and doesnt make any sense tbh. Even if people dont like what they hear, her first day numbers shouldve been like 3.5-4 Mio on average just because Of FN, DTN, and even Houdini (which was still.pulling like 2 Mio streams as of late)

Kristie Kuwa Posted May 4 Posted May 4 (edited) On another note: This was the album where they shouldve just released now without releasing TS or Illusion prior to it. They shouldve let the audience explore the album and use some of the remaining hype to let it grow from there. TS and Illusion ruined the hype globally Edited May 4 by Kristie Kuwa
ATRL Moderator bluebirdsforever Posted May 4 ATRL Moderator Posted May 4 End Of An Era was definitely the biggest grower for me, currently on repeat and quite possibly my fav on the whole album
allforyou Posted May 4 Posted May 4 The numbers… The album should've done at the very least 20 million
Bends Posted May 4 Posted May 4 It's her Witness era, but this album is so good, just like Witness itself. It's 4 out 5 for me. 1
Cloudy Posted May 4 Posted May 4 It was worse than I expected. These numbers are tragic...I really hope they start planning for DL3 and gets an actual management cause... 1
mike_int Posted May 4 Posted May 4 "Anything for love" would be such a cute bop ... I dont understand the decision to cut it short like that. She was talking so much about song writing and then thi? :/
enchanted0 Posted May 4 Posted May 4 She's such a FLOP. Even These Walls pulled these numbers only because of the playlists. 2

And thats whats weird - u mean to tell me the same person that was just casually getting 1 Bio streamed songs last year pulls these numbers now (and she didn't have any controversy)??

Release Houdini, wait for a while and drop the whole thing like eternal sunshine.
Kristie Kuwa Posted May 4 Posted May 4 She better decides to perform These Walls EVERYWHERE now and give us as emotional performances including a fake tear and a beautiful MV. Its the song that could be her Irreplaceable. It could literally save the entire era 3 1

This song is more emotional than the robotic monotonous previous singles (LWYMMD vs. Houdini, Ready for It vs. Training Season). 2
Cloudy Posted May 4 Posted May 4 Honestly the material is not there and I doubt there's anything that will take off, she should just promote it but take the L, come back with something fresh and different. I just knew the moment she named this RO it was bound to be doomed 1

mike_int Posted May 4 Posted May 4 I want some romantic summer video for "These Walls" like this And I wish she would perform it on SNL, it would sounds perfect live
Cain Posted May 4 Posted May 4 Anyway if this doesn't make her get her ass off and WORK to get these songs out there (very much like Bey did during 4) she deserves everything that's happening. In the past 6 months we've gotten 2 televised performances, what were they thinking 6

In retrospective it feels like something shifted back in the 2021 Brits. We started getting silence after getting so many performances and content. Personally I thought back then that it was just a sign of tour rehearsals, and then the making of the new era, but there was nothing, since November there seems to be no plan in sight. They stopped trying and don't seem to care Edited May 4 by BrokenMachine
