UK #1 (highest UK female debut since Adele)

NL: #1 (dethrones TTPD)
FR: #1 (outsells Midnights debut)

US: #2 (more than double FN's pure sales)

Top 3 in 15+ official charts so far and with an 11-track album

 

and so forth

 

What went right?

Quality & fresh non Jack Antonoff'd pop production got combined with star power & summery aesthetics that's what happened 

Well this album followed massive success of FN ofc it was frontloaded and gave her highest peaks and sales, same happened to for example No Doubt's Saturn album.

 

But album won't have hits or longevity, but let's wait and see. 

Ask again next week

 

Every song on this album could be a smash if America wasn't tasteless. Chart success or not, critically panned or not, Dua served album of the year

streams rightly tanked. can people return their physical sales that were ordered before hearing the album? 

 

ship it back! 

Oh this thread will be bumped next week. 

 

The absolute set up.

 

 

So now you all suddenly like it cause it sells?

 

Dont you guys have your own opinion or is really the whole population turning into sheep?

 

The album was never bad in a first place, solid 8/10

We all remaines optimistic

 

Nothing, hope that helps!

It's a cute 7/10 album. Glad it's getting some love from fans

She gave the middle finger to American trends and kept the album more European in its sonics.

 

Also, there isn't a single song that is so terrible that you want to throw the disc out the window (like those final two songs on Future Nostalgia).

 

And it's a fun album for the summer.

Everything. Despite what crazy ATRL trolls want you to believe, the sales are good and the music too. She really delivered. Happy that she is continuously winning !

Next week? The album for sure dropped below 10M streams on Spotify TODAY. 

ofc an album that's rooted so much in euro sounds will do better in that continent, but atrl holds onto america success like it's the only continent in the world

Not « outsells Midnights debut » for France being a thing  

 

You forgot to add she outsold it by 200 copies despite coming from a 300k+ album  

 

Nothing went right, it's going to collapse considering the tragic streams.

next week...

the set up

The fact that this applies to every album by a main pop girl this year

Good for her, to me it's an okay album and feels a bit uneventful.
