itshyolee Posted October 26 Posted October 26 Don't know if she has some shooters on here, but I say "Come Away With Me" by Norah Jones. This album is certified diamond and sold over 27 million copies worldwide, yet I never hear anybody reference this album or talk about it (if I'm wrong, feel free to correct me but ) 2

That's pure sales. Even if it never get one stream I rather have 27 million pure sales than 27 billion streams. 13 3 1
CocoPouf Posted October 26 Posted October 26 (edited) That record in particular: is not music to influence. This is music played in patisseries, train stations, elevators... Ambient music that sounds good as a background. I bet everyone has listened or is familiar with 5 or 6 songs. Well, if you are the kind of person who goes out. Edited October 26 by CocoPouf 8
KatyPrismSpirit Posted October 26 Posted October 26 That album is kinda unknown nowadays but I still hear Don't Know Why time from time 1
BrattyBottom Posted October 26 Posted October 26 I'm convinced there's a copy of that album in some form in most households. Not only did it sell extremely well, it was also showered in awards. It also set her up for a successful career and she's still producing music. I'd say she and it have had longevity lol 1
Xtripped Posted October 26 Posted October 26 Dido albums. It's a shame because her 2 first album are full of gems. 2
Wicked Posted October 26 Posted October 26 That album does have longevity & it had impact. This site downplays "easy listening" music and genres that can fall into that for some reason and I don't know why. This is the music that can and is played pretty much everywhere, and it is. My parents bought it on CD when it was released, and I got my own copy of it when I started buying CDs with my own money. It's a well collected album, it's also audiophile bait because of how well engineered it is. I believe the real time success can also be contributed to it being a counter to what was popular at the time. You'd have to listen to a 2003ish playlist of radio hits to get the context. Average human likes balance in their music listening and the album dropped at the right time to stand out. She is to 2003 what Adele was to 2011 lol. 11
Punky Rooster Posted October 27 Posted October 27 How do you know that the 40 year olds who purchased the album back in the day don't talk about it regularly during wine outings or drives to the countryside? 1
A Million Lights Posted October 27 Posted October 27 Taylor's 1989. I fear this album was a 2015 fad 1 5
shookspeare Posted October 27 Posted October 27 oh this is not the tea you think it is, Come Away With Me is very much remembered

It has 1.7B streams on Spotify, which for 2003 standards is fantastic, especially considering she hasnt been present on the mainstream public eye in like... decades now.
itshyolee Posted October 27 Author Posted October 27 I guess Norah Jones does have some shooters on this site Sorry y'all! 12
fememeist Posted October 27 Posted October 27 Don't Know Why is a staple in many places when you go outside sis
Pavement Princess Posted October 27 Posted October 27 Adele 25 & 30 Every Taylor album post 1989 Cardi B 3
Slayn Posted October 27 Posted October 27 Midnights and TTPD are the obvious ones. The Norah slander in the OP is completely unwarranted, everyone knows multiple songs off that album, and the album itself is a classic 3
HANZ94 Posted October 27 Posted October 27 (edited) Cowboy Carter the year ain't over yet and the album is totally forgotten already Edited October 27 by HANZ94
naval23 Posted October 27 Posted October 27 Come Away With Me is still remembered. Not only did it sweep the Grammys with 5 wins but Don't Know Why has over 500 million streams
