Bends Posted May 5 Posted May 5 I'm kind of shocked about These Walls, since this song was being included to playlists and had the biggest decrease.

Pop Art Posted May 6 Posted May 6 This is pretty bad in the context that it's the album directly following one as big as Future Nostalgia. It's like that era did almost nothing for her brand. I've been worried she was going down the Katy route (GP appeal and hit after hit but no significant fanbase or longterm interest) and that unfortunately looks to be the case. It also doesn't help that they barely pushed this era like they did Future Nostalgia. Even the playlisting push has been weak compared to that. I'm not sure if they got cocky and thought they didn't need to put in the work anymore, but anyone without bias could tell you while she's no longer as faceless as she was pre-FN, she definitely doesn't have enough name recognition yet (especially in the US and outside of Europe) to skip the promo hustle. She needed stronger music and another FN sized promo campaign (if not a bit less intensive) for this album and unfortunately neither was delivered. I'm hopeful they'll learn from their mistakes and she'll come back stronger next era.

Physical was kinda successful and FN is eligible for 4xplat so I'd say FN is slightly bigger than OOTB
MatiRod Posted May 6 Posted May 6 The numbers are a disaster, no way around it. But, she had a decent hit just a few months ago with the Barbie song and "Houdini" charted decently, this is not a Bionic situation where there's nothing left to salvage. 1
