Ariana had loads of promo(she was everywhere this year), had 2 successful singles and feature,and has a very likeable image...Yet her second album is opening with less than 200k and is not selling much more than her last album(which hasn't even gone gold yet). No shade but why do you think Ariana is flopping? Does she need more time to build her status? Does her lack of performing skills and vacant personality a turn off for people? Is her lolita image not attracting enough daddies?

Answer truthfully please and keep it cute

Because people don't buy $10-$15 albums anymore

She's actually slaying, though. Her TEAs have already made the My Everything era one of the biggest of the year, and it's just getting started.

Beyoncé destroys this excuse. As does Frozen (although it's mainly been discounted).

Quick little singles artist.

She's not an album artist

It didn't. Let it have its run and we can judge. It'll probably enjoy longevity. Outside of the US, she's basically a new artist so we can't expect her to make huge debuts.

No Promo

The fact people call it a flop when it still outdid YT and that we don't even know if it is going to have longevity or not.

You are embarassing.

I stan for ha but she's mostly a singles oriented artist as of rn.

Don't be stupid, Ariana is not Bey. And those are only two albums. That person is right, album sales are TERRIBLE and you know it.

Quick lil singles artists don't promote the album though, which she did.

But it didn't? Lol. And it's only been out a week

idk.I think it will pass 1m mark soon.The album is amazing tho.

Because it only has 4 good tracks, and most people already have one of them (Problem).

Let me bump this when this ends up going platinum

Comparing Beyonce to Ariana

It is debuting under 200K, what kind of Gaga's SOON

It seems people don't care enough about her.
