WE dont have to accept anything. She's not promoting the album. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?
Majority of people in the general public do not know who a Ariana Grande is.
She sounds like Mariah Carey to most ears and is NOT some recognizable face.
Certifications are fine as is.
I blame record labels for not forcing these new artists down our throats like they did in the past.
People have gotten so used to artists being singles artists that they really dont have to pay attention to. She needs to get her ass on talk shows and make her presence really known. If she flops its her and her labels fault for allowing such good music go to waste.
