So I guess it's bye bye BL then... Finally!!! Unfortunately. I agree, but it is time. Even if CLB and DONDA weren’t released, BL was probably going to fall off in a few weeks anyways. |

I wonder if she will do something for its 25th anniversary next year. |

HDD finally addressing the billboard shenanigans and it only took them 3 months ._.
I've stopped having the energy to truly care abt Butter's wild chart run, fuck it give them that 10th week at #1 if it means Megan's getting there again
Also I Am Not A Woman I'm A God is definitely the best song for Halsey to push, it's the catchiest for sure even if Easier Than Lying or You Asked For This deserved

I guess she's ready for the possibility of it flopping and just doesn't care. Don't think she cares about charts and success anymore. Likewise with Lorde, I'm sure she's made enough money. She just wants to focus on artistry and release the music that she wants to make. Good for her |

Well "Manic" didn't perform that much better on AM either. At the end of the first day it was #8. Yes there were Mac Miller & Eminem new albums that week. But the album was behind 4th week JackBoys,7th week Roddy, 2nd week Moneybagg Yo.
And this was with "You Should Be Sad" doing good before the album, not mentioning "Without Me"/"Graveyard".
That album did 56k SEA (from 75.6m streams). This one 50m streams seems the limit without any single to hype it up.
Yea the total for the week seemed impressive, but it was tour bundles doing the work.

yeah remember last week when Lorde was like "I have enough money for the rest of my life?"
Halsey probably raked/continues to rake that in with "Closer" alone, lol. if their art will be this much better without the commercial pressure, I'm totally for Halsey releasing all their future albums without a proper promo cycle.

I guess she's ready for the possibility of it flopping and just doesn't care. She doesn't have to care about chart success, and musically she's been moving towards this point for years now it honestly makes a lot of sense that she made an album like this |

I’m more surprised Halsey’s album can’t even pass Aaliyah on iTunes. Aaliyah was predicted to sell like 14k last week, so I imagine she can’t be doing more than 5k really this week.
Halsey is about to sell like 3k pure lol?

I'm all for artists not caring about commercial success if that means them getting to make the music they've always wanted to make but I listened to Halsey's new album and I can't say it's as good as, yet alone better than Manic. It definitely has some standouts but overall, it wasn't all that great. The album has a great theme and the production on most of the songs match that grandiosity but the lyrics and the vocal performances on the songs fall flat for me most of the time.
I feel the same way about Lorde's new album in the sense that while Solar Power is meant to be her huge artistic, I-no-longer-care-about-commercial-success statement, Melodrama was still a lot better in quality and it had a lot of radio-ready cuts.
I definitely feel like there's a fine line between making music that isn't necessarily radio-friendly and is true to one's artistic self and making music that's true enough but still enjoyable and like good, to some degree lol.
Of course, I remain happy for artists who no longer feel pressured to make music they genuinely don't feel like making. That's one of the things I've always enjoyed about Lana Del Rey and how uncompromising she's been with her sound/style.

Halsey is about to sell like 3k pure lol? I'd expect most of Halsey's pure sales to come from physicals, including the vinyl (which ships this week, as well). definitely not doing 3k pure lol. 3k digital downloads? probably. vinyl is at #6 and cd is at #10 on Amazon. also got sold-out listings for signed vinyl, and limited edition amber vinyl, and the standard vinyl on their website that ship to the US only. |

I do think some artists mistake not having a catchy chrous with being more artistic. But the Halsey rollout was kinda cool. Sad that it's not doing great so far. But Spotify might be kinder to her.

So would the next step be to date Coi Leray, and get a number one from the breakup?

Such drama, such gamesmanship. I was thinking to ask "Donde esta el album?" But I figured that was too much of a dad pun.
