Consistency Not Nice Ms. Nasty NDA Star Gift & A Curse Scary Anxiety
It's a solid second album, but I can certainly do without the 3 singles plus "She" and "Red Wine". This is from someone who didn't have the patience to finish Good News.

This album is decent, I like it more than Good News. Some of the tracks on the second half felt like filler, but the first half was really good.

I quite like the album! I hope they push multiple singles - lots of Urban/Rhythmic potential. The album now has 6 songs top 100 on Apple Music. Climbing into the top 100 slowly but surely! Hopefully we'll see more of the album enter the top 100 on Apple music over the weekend.

Some good songs on this but there’s not much replay value overall or versatility. I expected more with the way she was describing this album being her journal. She didn’t make it sound like a throwaway album that I assumed it was going to be to get her out of her contract with Carl. Especially with an expensive feature from Future. Money was clearly thrown into this. I don’t get it.

Yeah, she’s got solid single options on here but too many of the songs blur together for me. And based on these numbers, I definitely think her team should’ve taken a bit more time to restructure the album and build hype. It’s giving mixtape, not sophomore era.

There was no real buildup/hype at all I literally thought the initial singles (SP & Plan B) were one-offs and “Pressurelicious” was the lead and I didn’t think the album would be coming so soon after either. The whole rollout has been very subpar & all over the place.

I think Megan wants to be done with her label so bad, that she's rushing material out there and not really working it to it's full potential. Which is understandable, but she's at that important place in her career where she's still building her base.
Hopefully, once she signs to a label that she feels supported by, she'll work the material appropriately. I just hope it's not too late.

Fever: #10, 27k SPS (3k sales).
Suga: #10, 41k SPS (5k sales).
Good News: #2, 100k SPS (16k sales).
Something for Thee Hotties: #5, 32k SPS (1k sales).
Traumazine: #4, 58k SPS (6k sales)*
At least her top-10 streak will continue.

I love Megan, but this is not an 82, lol. It starts off strong, then loses focus in the middle and back half IMO. Similar to Good News, there's a solid 11/12 track album in there though. I hate to put Megan in a box, because I'm sure she's capable of good poppier material, but she has yet to deliver on that front (she can keep Soggiest Pie and Hershey). Megan shines on Urban bangers, which is why Fever remains her best album.

improves on the mid-week projections as well, opening at No. 3 with 66k units.
not bad at all, her highest rank and highest SPS after Good News.

Yes, trend up queen! Shows that she's still got some pull even with a lackluster rollout like this. And please say no to RCA Megan.
Also, why did I totally ignore Something For Thee Hotties when it came out? It's really fun.
