Okay, but Selena is like what 6 eras in and she's seeing more success than Ariana in her 2nd/3rd? Which was the whole point of the thread. You had Ariana coming off a huge era and she couldn't even outsell Demi. DEMI of all people. And everyone expected her to come in with huge numbers *myself included*. Yet here's Selena, who has been around far longer than her, and drops the best song of the year (imo) and does really well for herself.
Now obviously, Ariana can still make a comeback. But the question was simply why/how Ariana failed to meet expectations, and Selena exceeded them.
