Shocker, a 4 and a half minute jazz/rock fusion song that was released on a Monday without a prior announcement and without playlisting or airplay is not racking in streams by the millions 

 

Can we please just wait for End of the World to discuss the commercial side of things, like it's intended to, because how did yall seriously expect this to perform well commercially?

I still wonder if those tracklist lengths that have been posted are the real thing btw? The reliable insider deleted the tweet that he quoted them in and i dont think he usually deletes tweets? and I'm still not sure how a one hour album will fit on one LP but we'll see on Thursday when End of the World is out I guess.

It's a partial debut, the song will probably rise to 1M tomorrow which is fine for the kind of song this is.

Is it? Just checked, and only "Prelude" and the title track have their lengths there. (x)

But the album was supposedly done months ago

Well she did end up adding tracks on plastic hearts once the record was done so she's known to add on so I guess we'll see 

Why are people caring about streaming? Miley is serving artistry and talent!!!!

So if she served artistry and talent why are people not interested? Shouldn't they be streaming this big demonstration of talent?

Two live covers and a remix but that doesn't really count imo

Do we know if EOTW will be on TTH?

I heard Something Beautiful is inspired by her being in a cult? Is it possible the whole album is a concept album?

I saw the cult thing on Twitter as well. Smilers are already putting in the work!

Genuine question, are you able to enjoy music without having Spotify numbers on your mind? This open and shameless display of loser behavior is INSANE

Ill reserve judgment to the lead single, but I am surprised her fanbase isnt streaming this.

Yeah, SB never had any real chance of pulling big numbers, it's very left-field for most listeners, but I do think the complete lack of noise around it, even among casual fans, should be a wake-up call for whoever is running the A&R team at Columbia.

 

The expected scenario here was a Doctor type of situation - a modest debut in the lower half of the Top 100, or even the Top 200, before dropping off the chart a couple of days later as fans found not much replay value in it, but these numbers suggest that not even casual fans were aware that Miley has a new song out.

 

Releasing it on a Monday afternoon, combined with the constant spamming of random posts and confusing messaging on social media, is largely to blame here. This isn't about misplaced expectations for chart performance - it's just shocking how badly they ****** up to the point that even casual fans aren't on board. 

 

I'm not really expecting EOTW to become a big hit or whatever, but hopefully Columbia along with her own team will do a better job to get the message out there now that it'll be the real single at play.

Our fanbase has been really weak since Bangerz tbh. There's a reason Flowers has been her only HUGE hit since then. Malibu and Midnight Sky benefitted from lead single hype and radio deals but even then couldn't get to the single digits on the Hot 100, and Used to Be Young was carried by HAC radio, which is a new area for Miley. Every other song of hers since then has pretty much flopped. She needs GP support.

 

I don't know how successful this era will be tbh, but I'm so glad she's experimenting and doing her thing.

At least she got her flowers last era, she can have fun this era.
