Try to twist it any way you like but there was minimal promo or hype for Push and Shove, and the fact that BJ and Lotus outsold it by whatever small amount WW is ridiculously unimpressive for legends who have continued keeping themselves in the public eye over the last 10 years. Find another 90s act who tried to make a comeback after 10 years away and let me know how their comeback went.

And I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do by dragging one of my other faves into this, but it's strange considering Biophilia sold like 5 copies WW.

Well Justin had like 7 years without releasing an album and did good.

Cue up the biography of ha post-No Doubt era.
What's her number? I need to bitch at her like Jimmy Iovine.

No Doubt FLOPPED hard and I doubt there's interest in her anymore. LAMB is amazing album but seriously all I can see is her trying to replicate it like she did with TSE. She should stay in the past where she belongs.

YES her music has always pop-appeal.

Oh, sorry, I haven't seen that, it just looked so out of place comparing BJ/Lotus/Push in Gwen's solo career.

Why would you tear your posters apart? It's not like she'd "betray" ND, she'd just try something different, I think she should do another album but in a different way so she wouldn't feel so stressful about it.

Because she mentioned a few times in 2012 how the thought of another solo album "made her sick" and she wasn't her real self without ND, etc. It would just seem hypocritical to do another one so soon, yet I kinda fear that's what might happen after she's done resting from the pregnancy for a bit


I do wonder if Gwen would do dance/straight-up pop again, or something totally different. I'd kinda be here for something unexpected.

TBH every studio post that was made around that time people here were praying it was solo material and kinda fizzled out when they realized it was for Push and Shove.

I think No Doubt is the more expired act and not Gwen herself. Their materials are totally different.

people recognize Gwen as her own entity. If ppl arent interested in Gwen then why is her style STILL being bit ripped OFF OFF OFF OFF

I know I saw that too, that's why it's such a Catch-22, I want another album by her but I know how she felt terrible doing it I mean, if she felt comfortable doing another album I'm here for it though I don't want another TSE situation where the label forced her to do it.

That's not even comparable, like Beyonce last album wasn't released 8 years ago.

Like I said unless she offers something innovative/interesting like she did with her debut I don't think there would be interest because there are just to many female popstars today unlike back then when she was pretty unique and had no compettition in trying to stand out.

Gwen doesnt have to try hard people know who the original is, Gwen is artistically gifted enough to seperate herself from all her clones

Then why was she overshadowed by most of female artists that released albums in 2006, most similar to her being Nelly Furtado with Loose era (which absolutely destroyed The Sweet Escape era, and Nelly basically jumped on that urban bandwagon Gwen already mastered with Hollaback Girl)?

No one cared for Nelly hence why she failed to chart after her fifth single. Gwen didnt even care for the Sweet Escape era tbh, it wasnt even supposed to be an album

Simple, she got overshadowed by other pop girls with LAMB clones and by other pop girls.

All sis needs to do is work with Pharrell whom I'm sure is in her text messages weekly bugging her to come back because he can't save these pop bitches and working with Azealia was a headache so he's doing no more rap g0rls a favor.

Right producers + continue to rock the trends and be ahead of them + churn out a hot video or 3 where she looks half her age + bops = gold album.

Which these days, gold is good. Platinum is all about the promotion level, since she does have children.

That or she can just give music up completely and continue to get ha Victoria Beckham on.

I really thought after LAMB she was gonna be the queen when she announced her next album "The sweetest escape" but it turned out she was the weakest

Loose - Nelly Furtado 10 million
B'day - Beyonce 6 million
The dutchess - Fergie 6 million
Oral fixation vol 2 - Shakira 5 million
Back to basics - Christina Aguilera 4 million
The sweetest escape - Gwen Stefani 3 million


Nowadys it would be worse

@Dinorel: could you post how much LAMB sold?

Why are you talking about Nelly's 5th when he's talking about Loose? She got overshadowed as it can be seen in those posted receipts, that's a fact.

And what was supposed to be or not is irrelevant, it was and album.

I screamed but true

[letscauseascene1]

She would be one I really hope could make a comeback! There is nothing bad about her, so I hope she can, but PLEASE, Noooo "The Sweet Escape" album type music again. That album really did NOT do her justice.

[Dark Miracles]

Gweennn coming back solo would probably erase Gaga's existence. I mean, everyone noticed the similarities between The Sweet Escape and The Fame. The same platinum blonde hair with prominent glasses on the album cover.

People also tend to forget how big Gwen's first solo album was, it was a big critical and commercial success. I also firmly believe it opened the door for Nelly's Loose album (the urban pop music) and Fergie's The Dutchess album (Fergie was accused of apeing Gwen's iconic Harajuku Girls).

So yes I do think she can make a successful comeback. She's very well-respected. No Doubt's recent album might have underperformed but the quality was still there, I personally consider Dreaming The Same Dream to be one of the best songs of 2012.
