Shawn Mendes' Shawn debuts 0 songs on Global Spotify, 6.5M unfiltered streams

[DonnaSpring]

He needs to embrace gay pop like Troy Sivan please, I love him as a person but his music is too bland 

[jadeabove]

I actually enjoyed the album very much. Perfect easy listening while doing something else.

 

I find it fascinating how ATRL can cry about stars after they pass after enduring weeks of bullying, and at the same time shitpile them intensely like there are no consequences to it.

Music shouldn't be easily background noise, music should be the main event

He's hot, and it's fun to fantasize about giving him a hot sloppy bj….

 

But his music career is a flop 

4 songs with 2 billion streams on Spotify though...  Y'all need to be serious.

 

It looks like most of the pop stars are flopping with their most recent album release. There's something else going on in the industry.

I'mma hold your hand when I say this. Does that even remotely sound like something that would interest him. A man who idolizes John Mayer making dance pop? I need you to bffr

Why not? Adam lambert has done all sorts of music, the biggest artists try out different genres, if I told you beyonce should make a country album pre 2022 you would have said the same and look where we are

 

people should not box themsvles in genres

Well Beyoncé is known for her versatility And she already dabbled with it before with daddy lessons so her doing a country album wasn't expected but I wasn't shocked by it. Not every is versatile or even wants to be versatile. Shawn has only expressed interest in one thing and is happy doing that one thing. He likes acoustic pop, folk and rock and that's what he's gonna stick too.

Him and Camila both ruined each other.

Most of what's playing nowadays is background music. In fact, that's the pitch most artist get when they make music.

I think that stans are out of touch with what a successful era is in 2024

 

I mean even TTPD is seen as an underperformance which is absolutely ridiculous 

 

CC is also seen as a flop even tho it debuted with 400k, had a #1 and is platinum

 

Shawn is underperforming compared to his old days but to say his career is a flop and over is insane, he did a lot.

 

Imo there is a lot of unrealistic expectations by stans

 

There is only one or two artist per year that meet this criteria of success

[Starkboy]

The way he started bombing ever since Senorita happened and never stopped 

[punisher]

is it just me or have yall noticed a bunch of pop stars get thrown out as new ones come in?

i think now that gen z is becoming the main consumers all these uninteresting artists are just getting thrown out

the people who were relevant a few years ago need to start working 2x harder if they want to maintain relevancy

Not true, harry styles, teddy , benson Boone , shaboozy

[DawnAnti]

To say that island records were giving 95% of their budget to him and splitting the rest on demi and Sabrina is insane 

[duadududt]

I tried to give it a listen, why is this album labelled pop? It's mostly folk

girl you must be so delulu if you think teddy, benson and shaboozey are gonna be relevant even 2 YEARS from now theyre 1 hit wonders and are literal examples of my point

ill give JB and Harry their credits though

now unless shawn inherits the spirit of sufjan stevens to go make good folk music, theres no chance he's staying

 

[dillan]

he's probably done in this industry tbh

 

143 and CXOXO outstreaming this is really something

Bad luck for him, Benson can vocally do what he cannot, so his mainstream slot is taken, and the indie target already has the best delivering that sound.
