He executive produced the album, so of course he would say this. At the end of the day, both were right: Selena got the #1 and Ariana got the better opening week. No use going on for pages and pages about it. But I will say that the "Selena released when there was no competition!" argument is kind of funny when Selena released in Q4, a time when you are more likely to get blocked. Selena just got lucky that no big artists decided to release around the same time she did while Ariana got unlucky. A Q2 release would definitely normally be the safer strategy, though.

Not a well-known pop record producer and songwriter shading Selena's sales. Poor Revival era.

He's right tho

Where is the lie?

Well he has a point tbh.

These are all cold hard facts though. At least he has a valid reason to complain about these things

Selena last album will probably sell more than both confident and Dangerous Women.

Realising at the perfect time you can get an album debut at #1 with 50k

It's not about chart positions it's about sales overall, I'd much rather anyone I Stan for debut in the top ten and have consistency with their sales rather than peak high and drop like a bomb afterwards
