 GUTS is still doing fine though.  Spotify is showing US #6 and Worldwide #7.  Is there a problem ?

Imagine your album being in the top 10 eight months after it's release, and you're still being called a flop

Some songs just don't smash. It's not that deep.

can we make this a banner. this types of threads are always annoying

1. pop rock is not trendy anymore

2. she needs to reinvent herself. Guts was like Sour revamped

3. Swifties betrayed her. Droping tay was a mistake

4. Olivia is asian and as an asian she has to appeal to white,latinos and black people in the states. The largest demographic groups. Thats not easy. 
One of the reasons why tay is so successful is cause she's a white blonde blue eyed popstar. She appeals to the 60%-70% of the population of the states aka white people
Olivia has it harder

Just compare the success of Michelle Branch with Avril Lavigne

Someone pointed out that the backbone of her fanbase and general support is constructed of mainly Taylor fans and I find it kinda interesting  her choice of completely ignoring Taylor post-2021 was probably detrimental to her?

I mean…Taylor kinda started it…

I hate to say something like this, but you know sometimes you have to play the game to win in the long-term. Basically, she should have kissed the ring and continue to reference her without making it her entire personality. 

 

 

 

 

OT: Was it expected to be a global smash? Or?

It was viral on tiktok before it's official release so there were higher expectations. 

 

Olivia is doing fine through . People just want her to compete with Taylor which is a high bar.

Wait it's only 10 spots higher than I Luv It?? 😱

I don't see her reigniting that interest everyone had in her during the first album.

That's why she is #12 in albums this week and she has sold out tour on presale 

because it's actually a good song and they only push the slow sappy songs these days

Damn, when I heard the snippets, I really thought "Obsessed" would've revived the era. I thought it had smash potential 

It's a bonus track

 

Regardless, Olivia needs to change her image and sound for the shock factor on her next era. Maybe change her sound, go full on rock, be controversial, whatever. I feel like the GUTS era came and went even though it was successful

 

by far worst song of the year, so trashy sound on radio idk beautiful things is intolerable but this clears quite a margin 

the roll out is a mess

it should be released in the 1st week of the tour.

 

She is doing fine though, not everything has to smash
