ATRL told me that Justin BIeber was a has-been, and yet his completely un-promoted, surprise-released album, with no prior promotions outdid the current MPG Sabrina Carpenter. Why?

 

For comparison:

 

SWAG

Day 1 (72,743,675)

Day 2 (44,413,362)

 

Man's Best Friend

Day 1 (61,414,373)

Day 2 (42,135,121)

 

Sabrina had a #2 song Manchild, that promoted the album months in advance, and just released the second single, Tears. JB dropped the album with nothing.

Sabrina is not bankrupt but I hope the gap in Spotify streams can help Justin!

You gotta stop taking this site seriously on any takes about male artists and their popularity. They are always wrong and serving delusional.

Sabrina was a flop up until 2 years ago. Justin has had massive success since 2009 and has built a solid fanbase. No surprises here. 

Bieber had  taken a few years off and was making his comeback . Sabrina  will still streaming well with songs from her previous era.

Because he's a straight white man. He's literally serving up the audio equivalent of turds and and the general public still eats it up.

 

Didn't Swag fail to go #1 on the BB200? Sab's new album's heading to a 400k~ debut!

Daisies is a big hit for 2025 spotify numbers

Manchild is a moderate hit by comparision

Justin did better than Gaga , Beyonce , Ariana , Dua too

Are you putting thread for that? Stop shading young artists specially comparing them to artist like Justin and Drake is just not right

Both albums are still new & fresh. Why are you acting like Justin album came out two years ago 

 

New listeners are probably listening to Justin's album. Besides Sabrina isn't that far behind with thoughts stats. 

someone who got their breakthrough hit 3 years ago vs. who got their hit 15 years ago 

Who said Justin is a has-been?

Users even liked his album

He's man. His album came and went and the gays stay hyping him up

 

 

The world has been in a mini conservative era for a couple years now, so when the pearl-clutchers saw Sabrina's salacious album cover, they already made up their mind about the album and refused to listen to it altogether.  Meanwhile, a drug-addicted white manchild merely had to upload a black square for his album cover and billions of people gasped and squeezed their breasts in excitement, salivating at the thought of their cochleas being tickled by the vocals of a heterosexual caucasian male.

doesn't justin's album have double the tracks

Am I shocked that one of the biggest popstars on earth who has cultivated a gigantic fanbase over the years is doing better than an artist who has only just recently gained popularity? 
 

No.

the question is why do you expect differently, he's literally one of the biggest artists and celebrities of the past two decades?

surprised a basic talentless white racist man outdoing a white woman?

they're having a mid off I fear

I know it's underdiscussed because this site is all girls and gheys but Bieber's longevity is kinda underrated

Exactly, he is really good only Rihanna and Taylor are over him if we talk about longevity.

With all that promo and two mvs oh no'. And I remember ATRL saying Swag numbers were bad but are in here defending the Carpenter
