Radical Optimism out of top 100 in less than 10 weeks. What went wrong?


Miley Cyrus

Recommended Posts

Billboard 200 Chart:

 

110. (-20) Dua Lipa - Radical Optimism

 

Despite 3 active singles.

Despite releasing a new version of the album last week.  
Despite selling out Glastonbury or whatever and actively touring the album.


What went wrong with @unclefloprry's fave? Maybe it's time to pull a stunt like tacking her collab with Elton John onto the album :dancehall:

We can attribute the failure of the album (and it is a failure, even if it does have some fun tracks) either to Dua's gaining of creative and managerial control OR her time just being over. She requires VERY heavy promotion to succeed, and if the material isn't flawless and trendy there just isn't a chance.

RO is busy being a cute European summer hit. It's made to be listened while tanning on a Mediterranean beach, y'all wouldn't get it!

I am a nice person usually miss @Miley Cyrus, but you WILL NOT come for miss lipa with that username

 

I'm sorry dua stole the prisoner streams but even if she didn't plastic hearts would be a flop 

 

 

It's tanking the same way plastic hearts did when dua stole prisoner!

I am getting my lick back

 There are people who were in the top 50 in their 10th week and can't even headline festivals or sell out 10k venues.

It's her Witness era 

 

I'm honestly surprised it lingered in the top 100 for over 2 months

She hasn't announced a tour, so no. You'll get used to stanning a flop. Don't worry.

She is a singles artists and the singles were mishandled.

I think the singles would be a bit bigger if the original plans had been done.

since the start we saw this era in america just isn't happening.

She is doing good in Europe too. Together with Tortured and Billie is selling (less than them) but sales are decent (not like ariana and Beyoncè for example). I would say just after Future kinda made her more global this album seems to make her again local to white people countries.
