Think of eras that completely bombed (Breathe In. Breathe Out, Sucker, etc.) - any era that did not spawn any top 40 hits AND failed to go gold (in pure sales) in the US.

How would you re-design the era to make it a moderate success?

NO TROLLING. So, don't stay stuff like ARTPOP, PRISM, R8 ('cuz the album ain't out yet ), or any other era that does not fit the criteria above.

Re-design a flop thread.

i know you said not to mention ARTPOP but i think it could have done way ****ing better if this is what happened:

1st: Applause

Promo single: Venus

2nd: Do What U Want (with video)

ALBUM

3rd: Dope

4th: Gypsy

possible a fifth being GUY/Sex Dreams

also a promo video for MJH on 4/20

I don’t think that would change much.

It should have been

1st Single:
G.U.Y. Video

2nd Single:
Do What U Want + Xtina Remix

Album

3rd Single:
Venus

4th Single:
Applause

TOUR

Warrior:
1. Supernatural- Aug 2012
2. Thinking Of You- Jan 2013
3. Warrior- April 2013
4. C'mon- Aug 2013
5. Last Goodbye- Dec 2013
6. Die Young- April 2014

This would've slayed

the way they ****ed up DWUW is why the era came to a halt i can't

Rebel Heart:

*first of all, have not your **** leaked, not her fault but...*

First single: Living For Love
___________

*3 month break*
___________

Tour.

You also said no PRISM but that could've been executed better.

Singles
1st: Roar
2nd: Dark Horse with medieval themed video
3rd: Legendary Lovers w/ Dark Horse's concept
4th: Walking on Air w/ angel/Prismatic Tour concept
5th: Unconditionally

Close era.

She would've at least had another top 10 hit or more.

Eras where there's no top 40's and no gold album cannot be redisigned at least into something successful

Lotus (with actual promotion)

1st - Your Body
2nd - Red Hot Kinda Love
3rd - Let There Be Love

Oh, I didn't know it was on her album. I thought Break The Rules was the lead single, and BC was exclusive to TFIOS.

Kelly Clarkson - Piece By Piece

1st Single: Take You High (January 2015)

2nd Single: Nostalgic (May 2015)

ALBUM: May 2015

3rd Single: Someone (September 2015)

TOUR

4th Single: Invincible (January 2015)

LOTUS

1. Let There Be Love
2. Your Body
3. Just a Fool
4. All Around the World

Warrior:

TRY THIS:

1. God is a DJ
2. Save My Life
3. Trouble
4. Catch me while I'm sleeping
5. Try too hard

Not me snubbing 'Last to know' like that.

The best single with Trouble

Not sure about HAIM total album sales but, they released the right singles. They needed better videos and send the damn songs to pop radio
