Maybe she is more of a singles artist just like Iggy

EDIT: That, and the fact that sales are the pits right now

receipts

Because she's not a major pop girl like so many of you were claiming. She is the textbook singles artist. She'll never be a major pop girl while she's still a singles artist.

Why do people keep calling her a single's artistes when her singles sales are not even that impressive? Look at Rih, there's a singles artiste. Stellar single sales. Does Ariana have that?

Her sales are shocking! However, she needs to build up her reputation as a performer and use these hits to sell tickets to make up for her mediocre album sales.

It's unfair to call her a singles artist though, her album isn't that bad it's just an underperformnace. Her fanbase will grow and by the next album she'll do better (not that much)

Because of the album's quality IMO and that the GP don't like her as much, as stans thought they would.

She hasn't released Hands On Me or Be My Baby

All this negative press is turning people off. but that's what she gets for being a diva.

i blame her brother.

And when she does, it will make things worse.

3 global smashes? lol!

People are not interested in buying her album
They probably like her singles, but that's it.

Pre-packaged, ultra-produced, artificial pop stars aren't it anymore. The reason Miley broke out is because underneath it all it seemed like an organic project that actually represented her. People don't want bubblegum and fake anymore, they want real.

Well Ariana is on her second era and for most people, it seems like her first. I highly doubt Rihanna's A Girl Like Me singles sales were all that impressive.

Probably true.

But Ariana has cemented her spot in pop stardom, she just has to make a wise next move. Most popstars from Britney to Rihanna to Miley startout in that cookie-cutter format and then branch out and find their market (and/or are marketed as branching out, evolving, etc.).

3 Top 5 hits and already out of top 15? WOW shocked
