    SZA doing 180 in her 2nd week

  • Abyss

    I think it’s safe to say now that the album was a flop. Don’t know how Baby could drop such a dud

    It’s not a flop lol it’s still top 5 on AM and selling well weekly.

    Yeah flop was a bit exaggerated but the album is clearly not going to perform like My Turn. It felt as if QC and Baby were trying to force a Carter 3 moment here but it didn’t happen because the album only resonated with Babys core fanbase and didn’t reach beyond that.

    Even his core fanbase doesn't seem to f*** with it that much considering the fact that they're listening to his older songs more.

    He doesn’t care about making the most money?

    You actually lose money pushing physicals in today's market. The cost of production is higher than it used to be because there's way fewer productions plants than before and in the label charges artists heavily for the physicals they make.

    If you drop the physicals and they don't move units, that's more of a loss to you because the label will still take their cut while you lose out on the profits the physicals were meant to bring in.

    Most artists who push physicals do so to ensure they huge first week numbers. There's definitely profit to be made from physicals but only if you're someone like Taylor Swift who is doing over 1M units from physicals. You really don't start seeing the gains from that format till you move enough units and not everyone can manage that.

    Like 2 songs off the album are doing really well. That's enough to carry it.

    The important part is what he makes the label and they earn way more from streams than what the pay their artists

    labels care about market share on streaming services everything else is just a nice have to

    I wonder did they wrap up shooting yet. I know she’s in Hawaii right now but they probably didn’t even finish. Most likely if they did they still have to edit the video

    Yeah that’s true, so I guess they were already shooting before that day she went on live. Imagine if they had already sent it to radio, if would be impacting at the right time
