What is the best excuse for flopping?

1. My fav is an album artist (when the Lead Single underperformed)

2. Album sales great considering flop lead single (when the Album underperforms next)

3. The charts do not matter (after everything)

4. 1-2-3 punch

Post other excuses you can think of!

Music not the bling

She's an artist, she's not after charts and selling records.

Was just coming here to post this.

It was a Tidal exclusive

My favs are:
"It was leaked"
"No physical release"
"Only a couple days of the tracking week"
"No promotion"
"She's still at 1.6 million WW!!!111!"

iconic

My fave stopped promoting her work, so any sales we get are from people who really love ha music.

Talent always wins

buzz single

No banner on ITUNES! 11

I don't have the exact post but it said something like "The album came out during halloween. Everyone's too busy buying candy they're not gonna buy an album"

She's already proved herself

She gave away 1 million copies for free!

iTunes ran out of copies

It is platinium

My fave is acclaimed its not all about sales and its not mainstream enough... but my fave has ____ on metacritic !!!! never fails. As if artists make music to be acclaimed only... that wont bring no food to their tables

or

People already bought her album!!!

Pop radio doesn't play her!!!

One million people still downloaded** the album!
