SOUR Tour Dates

I can't believe she's coming to Germany with Baby Queen, not my two favorite artists of the year touring together 😢

Not "Deleted" sksksksk.
BTW, is any artist gonna come back to Pittsburgh cause wtf

[Taylor.]

Her Toronto venue holds 2,700 people... huh? She could easily sell out a 10,000 capacity arena I'd think.

[survivorqt]

She should tour after her second album, for sure she could sell out arenas

[Deleted]

Tbh I feel bad for all these young artists whose labels are probably forcing them to tour during covid to make them money.

[ificanthaveyou]

Wow so surprised she’s not touring with her bestie Conan Gray…

[Normi]

Damn no 5 minutes and all the tickets were sold out, but at least I got mine - ready to scream You Shaped Hole and jealousy, jealousy on the same evening

[kimberly]

she finishes the year at the top, 400k units ahead of Adele (who's at #2 despite late November release):

Both HDD and Billboard are reporting that she has allegedly parted ways with her management:

Good. They’ve done a terrible job at getting her out there in a way that will have longevity.

[Choco]

Yeah I think a new team will help her. They failed her when g4u kept getting blocked and they failed her with deja vu stalling at #2 on CHR when most managers would have pushed harder on both instances.

And her singles rollout died at the worst time (i.e. voting for the Grammys).

Yep, they didn’t seem too chart savvy or just didn’t have the payola funds to support a major act like her. She could have easily had four consecutive #1s if they had played their cards right.

whoever on her former team approved these venues… glad they’re fired now. the biggest breakthrough star of the year playing these venues that would be too small even for some of the popular indie artists with 0 chart hits… mind boggling.

UH-OH

Documentary coming to D+ with new arrangements of the songs.

[Taylor.]

Should have dropped it during the Grammy voting period like Taylor did for folklore.

[kimberly]

new song (from SOUR sessions) will be released alongside the documentary, it seems.

[Mike]

No surprise here. I imagine they'll probably write her out by the end of the season with an option to come back here and there for one offs.

Those certs are so impressive. What are some other debuts that have multiple multi-platinum singles? Off the top of my head, there's Billie, but she had the EP before.

working off of your response, Billie Eilish, Cardi B, and Meghan Trainor appear to be the only artists in the batch to collect 4 or more multi-platinum singles off of their debut LP in under 2 years. it's definitely a rare accomplishment to have 4 of them on one album, and even more rare to get them all certified within 24 months.

Olivia Rodrigo notably hits this milestone BEFORE her album is a year old, meaning all 4 of her multi-platinum singles reached the milestone in under a year. that would eliminate Billie Eilish as well, leaving us with a very elusive club of Meghan, Cardi & Olivia. though obviously there might be/probably are more artists in this pool that we just didn't know off the top of our heads.

even though it's sort of random, I think Meghan/Cardi/Olivia each respectively had the pop world in a chokehold in their respective breakout eras, so it kind of makes sense that it would be these three ladies managing such feat. 

(I'm not going to count Billie's EP because then we'd have to count all the EP's and mixtapes for the other artists, I feel. so I'm sticking with debut full-length albums.)
