Everyone acts like "I don't care about success as long as there is quality" but to me, a flop era is just ****ing boring.

I remember how bored I was during the Goodbye Lullaby era... no performances, ****** charts positions etc...

If there's a good album, good performances, good tour, etc. I won't care about chart positions.

I don't really care about the promo just gimme the music and the videos.

Oops, I failed, I wanted to open the thread in the Base section.

I agree but if the charts positions ain't good, there won't be promo, the artist will have a low budget etc... very annoying.

Uhm sorry I was too busy BOPPING to Smile and its MV and singing the rest of the songs on Goodbye Lullaby at the top of my lungs to care if it was flopping.

This. Music videos and singles keep the era alive.

I don't let the performance of an album ruin it for me.

Of course not. As long as the music is good, and the singer performs a lot I'll enjoy it.

Sure but the video is probably going to be a low budget boring mess...

Nope some of the best albums came from flop eras; rated R, 4 and blackout!

I'm just going to be honest; I think it's mostly charting & performances.

Ofc not but I already said the reason why of this line.

When an artist flop, the label won't give (a lot of) money for the MV or promo so it gets boring really fast.

Exactly this.

Not at all.

The Goodbye Lullaby era was one of my favorites, so no.

4 & BTW era were pretty boring so yeah.

Yes, because I mean, seeing good chart positions is kind of a huge accomplishment. More success = more singles, promo etc.
