I kinda feel bad for artists blowing up now, the pressure is arguably more than ever and you're basically only as good as the last handful of songs you released. Billie was probably a top 5 in the mainstream in 2018 but now she's struggling to get a hold on that same set of people
The songs she's put out aren't fun to listen to at all which definitely screws her over and she also took too long to release. Same thing Ski Mask just did, his last project had over 1b streams on spotify alone back in 2018 yet he just put out a tape last week which only sold 15k first week. You can't go more than 18-24 months anymore without sacrificing a massive hold on the mainstream. Even Big Sean lost probably 70%+ of his fanbase cause of a 3 year break. I think the only people immune are artists with insane rep like Kendrick/Drake/Frank Ocean
at this rate Billie will probably drop and do like 150k fw but it'll do much much better globally in countries like the UK/France etc where artists fall from mainstream much slower than the US
Back in the days it used to be worse. Albums would get pushed back or canceled if the hype of the singles wasn't big enough.
Y’all really invested in 18 year old pop singers
They even created a fake rivalry between them that doesn't actually exist irl out of boredom
I mentioned this in the hot takes thread yesterday, but no one took my "bait"
I basically made the claim that Billie is the white Willow Smith and that a lot of parallels can be made between the two of them.
So really you just need to follow Willow in order to get an idea of what Billie might do next.

willow is some hot ass tho
I haven’t heard any of the album, but I just seen there’s a track on there called “Billie bossa nova”… it piqued my interest
willow is some hot ass tho
She’s got a good voice but I can never get thru one of her solo songs

It's just a comparison between 2 musicians in the same genre who are both releasing albums this year everyone does that all the time for every year. Why is it different now?

I don't remember KTT ever doing that with 2 teenage pop stars
But it was super lame when KTT did it with rappers like Future/Desiigner etc too

billie has had physicals up for pre order since like march, her big debut is pretty much locked in. it might backfire on her when the longevity is terrible though. i can see her doing like 450k first week and 70k second week.

I don't understand why some people have to look at everything like it's a competition

Wild that this site s***ted on Juice and continues to s*** on ppl like Kid Laroi but hype up pop acts that steal songs and whole aesthetics from people
