Quality over quantity, baby!! I called those opening numbers but were hoping they would be a little higher magically. I love how hard they went on this. As a fan, I am very pleased.

Diamonds is gaining back momentum due to album and Kids again is showing potential, Sam needs to promo & get an hit going to sell this album, it’s already eligible platinum so, it’s alight in the us

Also, Dance for next single, please.

I love DWAS and Diamonds, so I'm pretty excited to check this out. I remember them saying that this was their first full venture into pop, but are there still ballads and such on the album?

Sober is that bitch! I can’t believe that he left it out as just Target exclusive. Anyway I’m really enjoying this album. Great job Sam!

Damn. I didn’t know there were Target bonus tracks. Sober is indeed that bitch, but I do enjoy them both.

Of course this has to do with the previously released tracks, but still a nice feat on paper.

There is so much emotion in "Love Goes". What a beautiful track.

The Thrill Of It All is eligible 2xPlatinum
But you can’t just certify gold to 2xPlatinum, you have have to wait before going double platinum

Nobody seems to care about Love Goes but i think it's Sam's best album to date.

They have sold a million copies in the US after debuting about 6 weeks ago with 41k? I'm dubious...

It's legit a flop but, because of new rules that allow streams and sales of successful songs that were tacked onto the album to count to the overall album sales, albums can be certified platinum even if the album itself sells a couple thousand copies. It's weird, I know. It's a shame that more people weren't into Sam this time around because they made their best album, hands down.

Like Miley & Shawn albums are probably not gonna go gold anytime soon with their recent albums debuting low as well, The album has done 3M WW sps and already certified in two other countries, P in Mexico and Gold In Poland, and about to be silver in UK 🇬🇧
So Sam was being smart for this, in my opinion, it’s not an flop album

And they were, DWAS, HDYS and Promises are Sam’s most poppiest songs and were successful before the pandemic and delays ruined the albums momentum... y’all are not considering the circumstances

As soon things get calmed down, tour bundles can make an return (yes, they still count if you “Opt in”)
Sam 4th album is being made as we speak, coming sooner than later

I don't care if it's flop or smash tbh, Sam delivered a great pop album. Hope they'll release more singles from this project and not abandon this album.

I wish people would focus on that then how it’s selling or charting, I’m proud of Sam of dropping instead of delaying this more or worse scrapped it

It's weird how stans choose to focus on that one word "flop", which is only indicative of total sales, while ignoring how I have praised the album often. LOL.

Ok... we’re possibly not getting more MV’s but more singles to push the album isn’t out of the cards according to Sam, they might as well FULLY “Kids Again”
