Sorry to bump, but was this album supposed to be out this year? Did Rumors underperform that badly?

Rumors hasn't even hit 90 million streams on Spotify, so yeah, it kind of did. Was shocked when I saw that.
Even Camila and Shawn's flops are at 186 million and 101 million streams, respectively.
Hope she comes correct in 2022, even though I liked Rumors.

Sad, but I can't say I am all that surprised. I hope she changes things up on the next album.

Atlantic pressured her to release something and then there was no promo for it so Iβm not surprised. I do hope 2022 sees her return to greatness.

Lizzo can try to justify it all she wants, but at the end of the day, the song underperformed. I can't help but feel like Atlantic was trying to rush her into releasing something and it backfired. Rumors was not it, more than half of Cuz I Love You was better than it. But I can say that I personally did enjoy Rumors for Cardi's verse. She laid it OUT.
Here's to hoping she comes back SWINGING with a vengeance in 2022!

That's not what people wanted from Lizzo, I guess.
I'm very indifferent to Rumors. It's not horrible, but I expected more...her major singles are big anthems and this just wasn't giving that. It did feel like an obligation or buzz single.

Excuses excuses excuses...! Rumors doesn't have a good chorus, and the underperformance shows. If people were really streaming like their lives depended on it, the song would've had a lot more than 90M streams and a second single would've been pushed. Accept that this wasn't it, and move on.

She's not wrong, but I don't think a Cardi B feature is the high road in this debate.

I like Lizzo and want to see her succeed but her delivery on Rumors is what killed the song. I thought it was catchy and fun enough and Cardi's feature was fire, but Lizzo sounds awful on it.

I think the thing with Lizzo is that her songs and image were trendy in a way that was natural, whereas Rumors felt too forced and people picked up on it pretty easily.

Rumors is a fine song. But itβs not a single or something you launch an era with. And her team kinda dropped it post-launch.

Rumors is one of the songs of the year. Not her problem.

time.com/6130802/most-anticipated-albums-2022/Untitled, Lizzo (TBA)Lizzo faces a tall task in trying to replicate the Cinderella success of her last album, Cuz I Love You: she scored a pack-leading eight Grammy nominations in 2020, with the single βTruth Hurtsβ inescapable for months. While the numbers for her latest single, the bubbly βRumors,β pale in comparison to those of her prior hits, the song still has a cool 90β―million Spotify streams and counting.

Wait....Rumors only has 90 million streams on Spotify? That is horrible. No wonder they told her to go back to the drawing board.

The way they abandoned this era after Rumors' debut week. This is not how you build hype.

She was adorable on RPDR. Love her and looking forward to see her smash with new music.

All I know is they better release something fire next because Rumours was definitely not it, and she doesnβt have much room for back to back flops. Sheβs capable of so much more, and we all know it.

My gut is she is a one-album wonder unless she evolves her sound.
