Poor her. Meanwhile Dua is only getting more commercially successful 

That’s because she didn’t decide to go the same route that made her successful. She actually reinvented herself, worked on herself and IMPROVED and look where she is now. 3 hit songs in one era, a successful sophomore record, critical acclaim and everything to her favour. If only Ari could have left the pop-trap route

Anyways, stream Physical

Isn't Dua using payola? 

Welll......

Spoiler

Her excuse is fair tho, there is some certain bias towards UK female singers so I guess payola is to help get their name out of the US

Lol but she even used the election on the positions video. She knew everyone was talking about it so she did the video to have everyones attention even tho the song had nothing to do with an election lol 

Not only new pop girl's fans bc Beyonces fans also try to act as if she never flopped too. They pretend her album with jay z never happened and that the lion kings soundtrack was as big as the a star is born's soundtrack

WBK lol. She really thought having a elections-themed video would boost sales lol I can’t-

Oof Bepomka fans...their on a whole another level lol.

‘Folklore’ wasn’t a tour ticket with a free album bundle, they were pure album sales. She didn’t give away **** for free 😂

She sold 100+ bundles to get those numbers, and let’s not talk about those two week running signed CDs

True. I doubt she would sell over 800k with the clearly desperate bundles and promotion she put out. 

This is why I was pissed when her fans were like "sHe DoEsNt cArE aBoUt tHe ChArtS aNyMoRe"...yeah my foot

Only 195k? That's only slightly more than half of what TUN did first week.  I was sort of joking before when I called this her ARTPOP era, but damn.

It's also amusing to me because y'all told me that ROM only went #1 because of Ari's starpower, but her new album is debuting with significantly less sales than Chromatica. 

Lady Gaga is an album artist in pure sales, even Joanne pulled 201 000 PURE SALES.

Its so shocking. Those sales are so similar to even Witness numbers in its debut week. Her album sales did worser than other artist flop eras. I mean ARTPOP did anyways sell 245k in its first week, but its so shockING how this album got lower sales than Chromatica, the alnbum people thought Ariana made a hit. Now imagine how tragic its second week sales will be!?

Artpop sold 258 000 pure sales in the US first week. And Artpop was 9th most sold album for 2013 WW with 2,3 million pure sales.

Which was a decline compared to Born this way which 1 million in its first week and was the 2nd best selling album of 2011 selling over 12 million sales, and accumulated 3 hits, tons of awards, the ms9t digitally downloaded album in a week and one of the most recognizable albums of 2010s. Artflop who?

Nah, COVID-19 is no more an excuse for a records underperformance when everyone though Taylor would sell just 200k-300k and still sold 800k copies in the US  But yeah many records this year could have been bigger but Ari isn’t the exception since everyone over here says “ARI IS THE MAIN POP GURL WBK”

Well, Taylor is a more marketed product to sell than Ariana. With all the bundles and versatile likeable to commons content. In my opinion there's nothing that much great to sell so massively. I don't understand her popularity still, but anyway, different country (US) - different taste.

True. Ariana didn’t sell bundles. Without bundles, Tay would have sold around 300k-400k

I don't with even that, It's a slow and too ***ual of an album, yarn , most would want her fun cheeky side back. 

She'll be okay just put a real album out in Nov 2021/early 2022 and everything will go back to normal. 

Just don't pull a Justin Timberlake or Bruno Mars and take a life time.

 i was just BORED. Like gurl, we want something new! And honestly i only want her to come back in 2022/2023 because she needs time to find a new direction.

Did Ariana ever really sell much albums? Isn't she more a streaming artist to begin with?

But yeah I only listened to Positions and I find it boring and soooo typical Ariana. I didn't even listen to the album yet caude I am not interested in it by any chance...

People, including myself, need a break from her. She needs to re-invent herself. 

I like Ariana but I feel like she's being uncreative...

Artpop is not everyone's cup of tea, the era was super messy, she split with her manager a week before the album release.
