Why is Sam Smith allowed to flop but others cant?

Featured Replies

Sam Smith's brand new album Hazel Eyes spawned zero hits and is expected to not even debut on the Billboard 200, yet nobody seems to care? What makes their flop album so extra uneventful?

Mind u Sam can flop this hard with no consequences but people were up in arms about Katy debuting at #6 with 50k….

    People always say this, but I feel like it's not the full truth. The music fans who care a lot about charts/sales, big-budget costumes and performances, etc. are gays & theater kids who stan almos

If no one is buying/streaming the album, who's going to care? cm

People always say this, but I feel like it's not the full truth. The music fans who care a lot about charts/sales, big-budget costumes and performances, etc. are gays & theater kids who stan almost exclusively women in pop. The reason men aren't held to those standards as much is because they aren't on the radar to begin with rip

The whole reason there was public outrage over Katy is because people care. A fate a lot worse for an artist is that no one cares at all. Sam is truly over, I think Katy still has a shot.

Does it matter? It was already no secret the album was performing bad, Sam Smith is tanking why does it need to be an even more in such public light.

Katy is more famous celebrity than Sam anyway.

Because Katy has an army of delusional Stan's to defend her

Sam doesn't so the conversation is open and shut

What "consequences" do youn want for him?

Bizarre mindset

There's a double standard for sure.

Like, the "people dont care" argument is false. I still see people making fun of Nelly Furtado's flops as an example and she has been irrelevant for over a decade.

Shady stan culture is more female centric.

Gurl idk. Lizzo literally had an entire storm of press releases and talking points online going viral about her flopass album that didnt chart but this one nobody seems to care at all to even discuss it.

Indifference is worse than being hated on cm

This! No one cares enough about Sam, not even the few Sam Smith fans.

LIzzo also was constantly on twitter talking about it and how her singles were flopping, making up constant theories as to why no-one was supporting her even before the album was released.

Sam has just been quietly working, seemingly. They are not doing a whole thing about it.

That's why.

So you're saying Katy and Sam Smith are boat mates?

debuting at #6 is different than not even reaching the top 200 gurl

I don't want to sound rude but it's quite literally because no one cares. Sam didn't cultivated a fandom and alienated the GP, now the results are showing.

Sam has like 3 dedicated fans and they aren't constantly making comparison threads
