Ellie Goulding's Third Album Is Doing Less Than Avril Lavigne's Fifth

Avril her success, impact, and legacy are so overlooked on this site. She is one of the defining pop girls of the 2000s.

[CakeLike]

If you stan for anyone other than Madonna, Gaga, Beyonce, Britney, Pink , Xtina or Adele you are trash and your opinion is trash

[iHype.]

Elusive Chanteuse sold more than Ellie's album, despite being pushed back a year, having no single at time of release, not one ounce of promotion during release, and ofcourse Mariah being a 50 y.o., obsese, has-been.

If you narrow that album down to 11 tracks it's seriously flawless and a proper pop magnum opus.

But of course she had to make it an overblown double album

Is impossible to sit down and listen that album from beginning to end, is too much, i had to delete half the songs.

Worse than Avril Lavigne's most recent.
Worse than Halsey.
Worse than Jhene Aiko, Jason Derulo, Kesha, EVERYONE.

The only thing she is pummeling is Taylor Swift's v4g.

naw she has Karlie for that

People don't have an opinion on Kesha.
People's opinion on Britney: "omg isn't she ******* now? I heard she has to shovel meds."

LOL
More like Britney: She's an icon. I love this song or that song.
Colin: She's still on drugs and a mess. I've got pictures (they're from 2007 and he passes it off as 2015).
random people: Oh well than I agree with you since you are so invested in Britney's whereabouts.

Christina's entire career is such a disappointing thing to follow.

I will always root for her.

True. She was never going to be able to compete against Britney but she could have given Beyonce, Shakira and Pink a run for their money. Pink would have still won but it would have been somewhat ok.

she should've released more frequently

So she spammed 3 albums in 1.5 years. Thanks for reaffirming my post. Time to put this BS about waiting long between eras to rest. If others could sell way more without boosts from previous eras huge success, she should have been able to. It's not my fault she failed.

did she send out any single to radio for the Christmas album???
and the Spanish album is 6x platinum

The album was the best-selling Latin pop album of 2000 and was certified 6× Platinum (Latin field) by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

great numbers for a side project

Because English Xmas albums don't sell in Spanish-speaking territories, hence why "All I Want For Christmas Is You" is largely unknown in the Spanish-speaking world.

tell that to X2C

Memo to self: (1) send a thank-you letter to my ”people.” ‘Cause, omigod, you guys – I just finished my first Spanish album! It’s called Mi Reflejo, or ”My Reflection.” Gosh, I have so many fans already – all those girls, and all those grown-ups who like the way I sing ”At Last,” plus, for some weird reason, a bunch of old guys. Crazy! But they said I could tap into a new ”demographic market” with a Spanish record. They even made all the liner notes in Spanish. (And why not? I AM part Ecuadorian!)

(2) Thank my producer for those diction lessons! For about half the album, I had to sing my hits, like ”I Turn to You” and ”Genie in a Bottle,” in this other language. I thought it would be easy – Ecuadorian, remember? – but geez, he had to write everything out for me phonetically! I’m a hard worker, though. And I sure showed him that no matter how many foreign words I had to learn, I can still hit TONS of unnecessary high notes. Wait’ll Mariah hears me on ”El Beso del Final” (that means ”The Final Kiss,” you guys)! She’ll have one of those midlife crises!

(3) Send thank-you note to Luis Fonsi. He’s this cool new Puerto Rican singer who dueted on ”Si No Te Hubiera Conocido” (”If I Hadn’t Met You”). He’s got a nice voice, but he didn’t get in my way. Hey, isn’t it cool how some of the new songs are pretty ballads old Latin ladies’ll like, and the brassy ones with horns – like ”Falsas Esperanzas” (”False Hopes”) – still leave me room to growl like a ”blues singer”? Wow!

(4) Send another thank-you note to my ”handlers.” Not only did we record a Spanish version of ”Come on Over Baby,” but it’s going to be used in a Coca-Cola commercial! Michael Jackson was right – hawking your music in pursuit of world conquest RULES!

(5) Make sure they use photos of me on the cover in tight, skimpy white outfits, with at least two belly-button shots. Take THAT, Jennifer L.! Oh, and ask translator how to say ”south-of-the-border jailbait” in Ecuadorian.

Idk who she pissed off at EW but god damn did they love to go in on her

[Skywalker]

I'm adding Banks and Grimes to my favorite artists section on my About Me. Thanks SYG, you guys always have such great taste musically (when you aren't talking about major pop acts).

Thats 6 latin certifications. They don't even add up to a million in US

[Stark]

Little Mix [a top 70 single] - 30k
Ellie Goulding [a top 3 and a top 20 singles] - 40k

Quality always wins!

[ezra]

Come On Over is one of the best pop songs of all time. It stomps on Knee's earlier bubblegum hits, too.

[Dollas n Diamonds]

lmao Goulddigger deserves this for the collapse in quality
why couldn't the same thing happen to Katy

[Johnny Cash]

And she's dumb on that front too because it's not even a proper double album. If it had three or four more tracks it would have counted as one and she would have double the certifications.

This has always frustrated me so much as a stan The true "music not the bling"

I can't. My willpower is too strong to ever listen to leaks. I even made it through Madonnagate when over 100 Madonna demos for Rebel Heart leaked. We can be strong. #Believe #Purpose

"Britney: she's an icon."

People do not think this. And if they do it's because they feel bad. Sorta like the ugly loser on the playground you feel like you should be nice to in case they burst into tears awkwardly & tell on you.

[Skywalker]

Remember when Artpop leaked in that ****** quality from Japan?

It will happen to Katy. She doesn't have the coattails of Teenage Dream to ride in on for the next era. She'll have a 120k debut and fail to go gold.
