I think people had over expectations tbh. They were not even properly global with their first album. It was mostly just English speaking nations. Even there, tween pop acts are not the biggest things around. Bieber has struggled to sell big globally for years.
Plus they didnt bring anything new or fresh. Really it could be just another track from their last album. we have to see if the album can establish them globally.
Doesn't it take like 1 download for those countries? Wow. Their power was extremely overrated.
actually theyve done better globally than I expected. WMYB was certainly not a huge hit everywhere. And yes, welcome to ATRL where everything gets overrated.
