Billie's post album singles(Birds, Wildflower) smashing, Ariana(tbim) flopped. Why?


Recommended Posts

There's a sentiment that post-album release singles almost always flop, but yet Billie and Sabrina's post album release singles(Birds, Wildflower, Taste, Bed Chem) are behaving like lead singles while Ariana's tbim completely flopped. Why is that?

I think she waited too long and the promo was missing(?) I don't remember her performing it other than at the MET Gala

It's weird because Ariana's album had some songs that could've worked a post-album release singles and do decent but nothing actually took off, even TBIM stalled with a fresh remix.

who cares, WCBF(WFYL) was a smasjh and it's a certified classic with the best video released this year, Ari is no longer the it girl and she's not a newcomer artist like the other girs, so she's more than fine with her two pre release smashes.

I think Ariana's Glinda personality affected the era negatively in the long run. 

When we look back at Eternal Sunshine first week, it did look that it was going to last longer and i blame her 2024 personality to it.

It's not too late to release Greedy as a single

by the time it was made a single the novelty has worn off. she should've gone with bye or supernatural instead

Maybe because all those songs were pushed during/right after album release when their albums were at their peak attention with the audience. TBIM was pushed as a single three months after album release. It was also doing ~4M daily streams around the album release so idk what point you're trying to make? 

 

TBIM is still charting on the Hot 100 (19 weeks so far, peaked #16), is currently top 3 on rhythmic radio, and is doing 1.1M+ daily on Spotify (312M total). For a post album single pushed months after it peaked, it's doing fine even if it's no smash I think Ariana will survive this "flop" lmao.

The American GP is definitely looking at her differently ever since the homewrecker allegations and new appearance/voice/personality.

Bestie, I like you, but as Nicki said "Zon't zo it". It's been a classic from day one (ended fadtasize for sure)

OT: Bed Chem and WILDFLOWER are not even singles and Taste was released as one along with the album release, so let's not

Well i don't like it very much, there's better options on the album like bye and supernatural

I still don't get hype for supernatural tho, the good sis is overrated

 

 

The good sis bye is another classic in the making, i think they should go for it

 

supernatural was one of my fave since the release, there's something in it that make me stan

TBIM was doing just fine without being a single like?? It will end with over 400M streams by the end of the year which is good btw 

 

 

:giraffe: Also not bad for a fad

TBIM could've been a bigger smash

She wasted her momentum... and eternal sunshine is actually a great album. But Yes, and is just not a good first single choice.

intro , supernatural and bye were begging to be a single what a shame she wasted this era's potential. This is the real reason why I made this thread, I'm salty she didn't fulfill my fantasized singles campaign i had planned out for her

she still got two #1s, only miss was having supernatural not being single that was the SMASH of the era

She peaked in 2019. It's okay. WBCF is a smash and she will always be relevant no matter what.
