This tanked so hard which I never thought would happen considering its Harry Styles

I mean it still went platinum within a year so that's not a total flop

I think it is his most cohesive album to date and not bad at all

baby it's a tank

1 million is a flop now? Interesting

Better than I thought honestly

With no hits this isn't bad. A big underperformance from him but not a Witness level disaster by any means. Harry is in a similar position to all the big 2010s artists (Taylor, Bruno, Ariana, The Weeknd, Justin Bieber). Nostalgia from their fanbase and our culture in general being nostalgia pilled is becoming a problem.

I still use "Aperture","American Girls" and "Pop". These numbers are pretty fine.

I'm sure his next record, if it don't have a mega-hit, will pull good numbers too.

KISSCO is kinda an iconic name i fear

Looking at raw numbers without context is pretty useless tbh. A flop is measured comparatively to the expectations you have for an artist. 1M for Harry Styles is at the very very least a big underperformance.

If Taylor did 3M for her next album, that would be lowkey a flop for her considering her entire discography is above that. Similarly, if Katy was reaching 1M, it would be a success considering her current state.

That's great.

Another platinum album

I still listen to some tacks of this album

He completely destroyed all other 1D members all of them released albums this year

would have been 2 million if he released taste back

It's Latin Diamond according to @D.M.F standards.

What is it with me and flops? This is my favourite album by him and I love Ariana's Petal

Why KISSCO when it's KATTDO?

Is this really seen as a flop for him? Cause going platinum in less than 6 months is rare nowadays

babes the album opened with 500k first week. taking another 4 months to sell another 500k is…..not good

Harry's House took 5 weeks to cross the 1M mark, was #3 on BB200 and he was not touring.

Disco took 26 weeks to reach that, is currently #123 on BB200 and Harry is currently on tour (on a record breaking MSG residency no less).

Yes, for his standard, it's at the very least a massive underperformance.

Bruno Mars' album has still not scanned 1 million units.

Harry has a huge fanbase while Bruno is more of a GP driven artist. In the long time I know Bruno will eventually surpass it

He scrapped by with Platinum in the US for his "flop" era, that's a win.

A decline to be sure but no one can be on top forever.

His last 2 albums were some of the biggest of the decade and now he barely scanned platinum after almost a year…
