You guys tend to forget that Ari is still a Nick/Disney girl, don't be fooled. She's got the same demographic and main audience as Demi Lovato (who opened with 110k her last album). Ariana isn't Taylor or Miley. Having a smash hit really means nada if the GP isn't on your side/isn't aware. Tween white girls can easily push a single, but an album is a little different. Contrary to popular belief there are still many, many people in this country who don't know who Ariana Grande is. The way a lot of us on here don't know anything about 5SOS minus their name.
Not trying to make excuses because I don't think these sales are great either but they are reflective of where she is, tbh.
I expected at least 250k. I mean. If it opened with 140k in the last era when she only had one hit, now with all the promo and two top 5 hits she had, she's only gonna sell 30k more?
people acting like ariana turned into adele just because she had a hit single though
it's cute that you expected so much from her though, slay! she'll do fine without y'all anyway
3 of her songs were top 10 on iTunes at the same time !!
She's the it girl of 2014 ! Her own stans called her a major pop girl. Obviously, we all were hyped
