I just think people don't put in mind that when she debuted put her at a disadvantage. Obviously, she's no ADELE or Taylor Swift, & she debuted right when album sales really started to fall. Her entire career has been on the downward slope of this trend. So while that's not fully to blame, it's definitely a part of it. MotS & AGLM weren't going to sell a lot no matter when they debuted just because they're both weak, but if GGGB had been released in the early 00s, the slayage would've been unreal. Britney & Bey debuted at the perfect time to build a devoted, album-buying fanbase, and they also debuted with way stronger material than Rih.
