Like her debut came out when I was in college and everyone could not stop talking and listening about how good her album is. I'm just shocked that the buying power wasn't stronger with Taylor's influence and the 18-24 crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also like 3 other non-singles. Releases her album and gets rave reviews after having her debut album like 3 or 4 years ago, which is a huge break for a pop act with one album only. Katy released 1 hugely promoted comeback single with a hugely promoted Spotify deal, with a hugely expensive music video, tried and released a 2nd one with another expensive music video as well but failed. Then her record company gave up on it and quickly released a 3rd single that are now promoting as the 2nd one. All 3 singles have feat. acts to try and maximize their commercial appeal, including Nicki Minaj and Migos. She has been promoting this release like hell, has announced a new tour, bundled her new album with her tickets and will get 100k more than Lorde which doesn't even do music too appealing to the masses. Her album comes out and it's...arguably not good. I guess it's understandable how people are so different to react to both these acts.

She should be doing 115k minimum with that exposure alone. Her debut album was HUGE amongst her peers. Being friends with Taylor doesn't secure good sales though. Camila Cabello is on that squad and CITC is bombing even with promo and the HAIM sisters are super close to Taylor and their debut album hasn't reached 200k copies sold in the US.

slicknickshady Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 (edited) Good for Lorde. Sales are in the tank for everybody. I'm really curious what my fave band Tool will do next time they release an album. They don't do streaming. They don't do digital. Last album came out in 2006 and did 550k first week. It's been 11 years. haha. That will be an interesting test case when that comes out in how many more years. haha. Also, of course Curious what Eminem will do. Be he has Digital and Streaming so i don't think he'll take much hit from his 2013 release. Edited June 18, 2017 by slicknickshady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slicknickshady Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 All Lorde cares about is critic acclaim right now. Label might think differently, lol. But as far as this goes for Lorde it's a success. The Sophomore album is a bitch to write. And it's gotten acclaim. For all three singles flopping like they have so far. I think the numbers are great for not having a hit.
