Discussion: Why is Ariana serving longevity this era more than her peers - Page 7

Yet, Dangerous Woman is on track to outsell Revival (already sold more than half of its total) with half the "receipts!!!" that Selenators claim.
"Leagues ahead!!!" of Ariana with half the award recognition to show for it.
"Leagues ahead!!!" of Ariana when she's about to match Selena's WW record sales in only 3 years.

Talent.

I wonder how Ariana's next tour will do - cause Selena's is currently tragic. But hey ho, not everyone can sell out the first leg of their tour

What longevity? Longevity is when your album charts for like a year and is able to sell at least one million in hard sales, her singles aren't doing great and her album's performance isn't that promising.

Good For You spent 11 weeks in the top 10 without any promotional push outside of radio and a music video and repeaked (without the album release push) 13 weeks after its release, it was also still top 5 on radio after 16 weeks and went on to sell 1.5M pure US sales.

And her 3rd single was #21 on the hot 100 before being sent for radio adds or having any solo promotional push

Selena has sold more $1.29 singles this era so far (even though those singles don't even come close to the success of the My Everything era), but Ariana can actually sell $12.99 albums. My Everything sold more worldwide than Revival and Stars Dance combined. Dangerous Woman is on track to outsell Revival worldwide in a few months despite the fact that Revival was released in Q4 and had a lot of early discounts. You Meghan stans can keep your US receipts. Ariana is coming off a lot of backlash in America, yet Dangerous Woman is still outselling Thank You worldwide (and has sold more in the US so far despite Thank You's discounts and recent promo).

Sell out 25 shows is easier than 47

Just because some show's didn't sell out doesn't mean that the tour is not doing well.

The Revival Tour is expected to gross similarly to the Bangerz Tour (more than the Honeymoon Tour) despite being a less successful and less promoted era.

Receipts? Let's keep in mind that the Honeymoon Tour was Ariana's first world tour. The Stars Dance Tour only grossed 20 million. Even if the DW doesn't do as well as the ME era, the tour will still probably do better than the Honeymoon Tour because that's just the way it usually works with touring.

NO had a decent peak but didn't last long at all while DW is still top 20. Also, Ariana's album has outsold Meghan's despite being released a week later and is still outselling it worldwide. Go look up Thank You's chart positions worldwide. They're absolutely tragic. Oh, but Thank You is currently selling more than Dangerous Woman only in the US after promo and discounts (yet still hasn't outsold it to date) so somehow that means Meghan is winning?

Selena still doesn't have as many YT views
Selena still doesn't have as many Spotify streams

So I guess Selena really isn't on Ariana's level after all

She may not have 6x platinum single or Grammy nominations but she has acclaimed albums, has more solo top 10 hits, in fact can belt live, has 3 consecutive #1 radio hits, and Good For You is the 4th most streamed song in the US by a female artist ever. So you're right, she's not on Ariana's level, she's above. One big era is not greater than longevity and since this thread has more to do about longevity than the amount of streams and Grammy nominations either has, let's stick to that.

The #22 peaking hit, Love You Like A Love Song peaked in its 35th week on the chart which completely demolishes SOL, GFY, and HTM. So, no Ariana is not serving longevity this era more than her peers with DW about to fall out of the top 10 in its 17th week where SOL reached a #5 peak in its 18th.

It's not on track to outsell Revival when in its 2nd week it sold the same amount as Revival's 2nd and is constantly being outsold by Revival in each successive week thus far.

Frontloaded and longevity don't go together and given that Ariana isn't gonna pull another ME era again, she's not about to match anything

None of Selena's albums are acclaimed. Also, Selena has more solo top tens but she also has more solo singles than Ariana. Selena can't belt live with good technique. She's not above Ariana's level. Selena had three hits yet somehow she can't outsell Ariana's flop album worldwide even though Selena is supposedly getting bigger every era unlike Ariana, which would imply this is Selena's biggest era yet.

Sis, when we say DW is outselling Revival, we're referring to GLOBAL sales. I know you Selena stans are used to only looking at US receipts because your fave is local, but DW almost doubled Revival's WW debut and has sold more than Revival every week despite the fact that Revival was released Q4.
