Girl I'd understand this if it was like 6 eras but it's literally the second era? Since when are artists not allowed to have another similar album? Edited August 17 by Kanes 4 1
The Music Industry Posted August 17 Posted August 17 Guts was still successful, just not as successful as Sour which is fine.
RoseBud Posted August 17 Posted August 17 Why would she want to totally reinvent herself after the most successful career debut of the 2020's ? GUTS is actually a progression and a better album than SOUR anyway. She actually did make a significant change that some may not have noticed: Tall boots = SOUR era Short boots = GUTS era
TaylorsSquad Posted August 17 Posted August 17 GUTS is a success any way you look at it so I'm confused. 1
Twizzy Posted August 17 Posted August 17 They're mad at you in these replies but you're right, when you compare GUTS to SOUR in overall numbers, it is very concerning. People just did not care about GUTS at all, and if she doesn't do something to reinvent herself and discard that dated bedroom pop-rock sound of hers, her third album is cooked 1 1

Ger Posted August 17 Posted August 17 Gurl, were you on vacations? It's been awhile since I have seen your trolling posts. 1
Dante Silva Posted August 17 Posted August 17 She can reinvent her sound/ image without kissing goodbye to guitars. Whether she has the particular talent to do so remains to be seen.
UseYourIllusion2002 Posted August 17 Posted August 17 Isn't the album still in the top 25 nearly a year later? Literally outdoing everyone besides Taylor, SZA, and Morgan Wallen. 1
bad guy Posted August 17 Posted August 17 I mean even without lacking big hits outside Vampire she's still popular among the kids. I will say I also forgot about GUTS until last week when my friend and I picked up his younger sister from her tour (I also didn't know she was on tour) and they said they had fun so…good 4 her. I feel like she still has a fanbase even if she isn't some big major celebrity/cultural figure so even if her albums continue to underperform it won't matter because touring is where the money is at anyway. Also I totally switched and like all-american ***** and bad idea, right so maybe the GP will do the same for OR3
NoAngelus Posted August 17 Posted August 17 Guts spent 32 weeks in top 10 in UK, if we compare that to Billie's 2nd album which spent 6 weeks in top 10 I think she is not. 1
YR. Posted August 17 Posted August 17 Atrl is so out of touch with reality, it's embarrassing. A bunch of old queens that just ignore facts 1 2
Doctor Dick Posted August 17 Posted August 17 OP give it up. The era is a success regardless if it failed to outdo her previous era.
KKCuteCat Posted August 17 Posted August 17 7 hours ago, Mrnoniee said: To put things in perspective, GUTS spent a mere 11 weeks in Top10 on the Billboard 200, a stark contrast to the longevity of SOUR. On the Hot 100, "Vampire" managed 35 weeks, but subsequent singles like "Bad Idea Right?" and "Get Him Back!" saw a quicker decline and failed to spent more than 20 weeks on the chart. Beyond the charts, there seems to be a notable lack of cultural impact and widespread discussions surrounding GUTS. It feels like the album came and went without leaving a lasting impression. What do you think went wrong? Is it the change in sound (which really isn't), change in image (there isn't any), the lack of a standout single, or she's just DECLINED? Is she the Kesha of 2020s? discuss! Girl why? U know the one era wonder was a troll for a troll in the Billie's thread. She did fine
Margaux Posted August 17 Posted August 17 why are billie stans gettin brave. her songs sounds the same on her new album. literally can't pinpoint which is which. no wonder aside from boaf (thanks to autoplay), the album produce no memorable single 2 2 2 2
Lasso Posted August 17 Posted August 17 she has good sales, constant streams, multiple grammy noms, a successful tour and media attention. even her politics became a talking point back in march. i'm sure she'll be fine.

Her 3rd Era will ERASE her, if things go on like this like Warrior by K$ (sadly) Edited August 17 by Mrnoniee

It seems some are still upset that SOUR is outstreaming all other female albums and is closing in on 13 Billion. I think Olivia will be fine no matter what her next era brings. 1
thatsmydemi Posted August 17 Posted August 17 The one era wonder in question during her sophomore album: - Number 1 single - 2 Top 10 hits (third single peaked at #11 and fourth single peaked at #14) - Number 1 album with over 300k sales first week - Number 23 on Billboard 200 after 48 weeks and rising - Sold out arena tour worldwide - Almost 4B streams on Spotify You guys sure love to look like fools in this forum. 2 1
Luckitty Posted August 17 Posted August 17 Billie's last #1 was in 2019, 2 years before Olivia debuted, and it only reached #1 thanks to a remix meanwhile Olivia's "flop" era had an organic multi-week #1 smash 2 2
discreetinside Posted August 18 Posted August 18 Olivia are gonna be fine just like your fave. Sour was a very big and successful debut that anything come after this are gonna be seen as underwhelming. However Guts just like your fave HTE facing similar fate regarding the poor single choices. Apart from Vampire being the lead singles, none of the singles they pushed are taking off. I just don't get why her team didn't pushed All American B as singles since it can capitalized the recent country/folk resurgence on the chart (at least on US) plus the song was viral on TikTok mainly for the scream.

So much easier to have success like that. She's the golden child of the american industry. Olivia is asian in a country where theyre a small minority and USA has a lot of segregation-favoritism. She have it so much harder to appeal to different audiences outside her race-ethnicity Edited August 18 by AvadaKedavra 5
