Releasing West Coast the same week Maleficent comes out (where she's performing OUAD) was actually quite clever.

Mariah and J.Lo's problem is that they do pop/urban music which is a youth driven genre. Even On The Floor did not get the airplay it deserved in the US.

At least J.gLObal will always be relevant as long as she retains her looks

How was Live it Up or any of her new music urban?

If J.Lo actually did good urban music instead of this generic crap she serves these days she would be way more successful.

Something like Get Right would easily slay today...

Ultraviolence's sales will be tragic

It will be the biggest flop of the year.
Poor Jameson!

The fact Katy's return after the mega successful TD is struggling to out do a yearly rihanna release on all counts.

Only in the US.

Rih will do better globally as per usual.

I wouldn't be so sure if I were you tbqh. Red sold 2 million outside the US while Unapologetic sold 2.4 million. The 400K gap in sales outside the US is not really huge...you never know if Taylor's next album might close that gap.

I mean urban/pop as in two seperate genres. Live It Up would be (dance)pop

Every other song from prism will flop.

The only slight she has is this is how do for summer.

Walking on Air goes nowhere and it's not Katy's style to which the GP's used to. It would flop into oblivion and harder than Birthday. Not to mention the fact that it would end up being incredibly local.

Not just Katy, Beyonce too.

Indeed. It means it's more successful.

lol. Those shows cost a lot of money to put on. The DWT will be more profitable, and success is measured by how much you profit. So you're wrong.

Not saying that WOA should be next single but Birthday was exactly her style and yet that happened

And u dont know whether Rihanna will be back strongly after a break and do 4M+ outside the US like she has done before.

Will just wait and see.

If WOA is released it will certainly flop. Even as a promo single before her album it plummeted while Dark Lord was stable. What's going on with Capitol this era?

It all comes down to the fact that nobody is trying to hear an old lady try to be "hip" and "current" and keep up with the trends. Like I do not need a Tina Turner song produced by DJ Mustard just like I do not need a Mariah featuring Future

I'm still not over Mariah putting Rich. Homie. Quan. on her album Bitch could've atleast gotten YG.

I agree, nothing left on the album will be a big hit.

[Ecstasy]

This is how we do is too obnoxious to be a hit. Don't forget that kworb likes this is how we do which is basically the same as Becky G tweeting the lyrics to it. It's cursed

Because she pushes her albums in the same span of 2-3 Rihanna albums only to sell as much? if not a lil more.

And just because a tour grosses more doesnt mean its more successful. Average gross is the true measure of a tours success.

Not to sell as much or even a little more. Katy's been consistent and each of her releases has sold over three million WW. She works hard, but it pays off.
Can the same be said about Rihanna?
Katy's pocketing more money, more tickets will be sold, and more revenue will be made. Rihanna can keep her higher average(although I doubt it will be much higher).
