Iggy needs to prove her talent more.

Also do you agree that Pop Rock sounds like a Sia song?! She sounds exactly like Sia on it

I haven't heard it. Didn't she work with Sia though?

Eh, Taylor was mostly right. People just aren't going to pay for an album anymore unless you really connect with them.

Streaming is also just way way way too convenient to avoid. It'll destroy all physical media.

I remember the Carly Stans here.

That bitch is too basic ( Kimora, foxes) all fall in that category. Oh and Christina Perri as well.


The newest break out female star has to be either FKA twigs or Banks.

Not you basically just grouping all the dark-haired white women together.

The racism.

How are you going to prove something that's not there?

But 250k with three hits (?), one being ubiquitous. There's no excuse other than her being trash. Nicki kinda did win.

Work is not a hit, Black Widow may very well be but honestly I think the lil lizards are getting a bit too hyped about it.

Like I said, rap doesn't take her seriously, and pop doesn't move a lot of records anymore. At the end of the day she's garbage though, everything else is negligible.

It depends on the music she does. If she is just gonna be a party rapper, it won't matter. But if she's going the "real lyricist" route, then she needs to step it up compared to her peers.

I know they're labelmates and they're working on her debut together, but I don't know if Sia was involved with the EP. Either way, listen to it. She sounds exactly like Sia.

Girl I don't know. I'm trying to be subjective.

'****** sales' isn't an excuse for 250k after 'Fancy's reign has ended.

John & Pharrell were able to cross Gold off of 'Happy' and 'All of Me' with no other Top 40 hits as of present. The singles also sold more with the same support from Pop / Rhythmic / Urban.

But why is it taking her so long to go gold? Not even "single artists" Katy or Rihanna.

To be fair though, most debut artists who aren't 'phenoms' like Gaga/Bieber usually sell like that at first.
Bruno's first album spent ONE week in the Top 10 and look where he is now.
She just needs to prove herself. Work could have been IT but noooo.

Because Sia wrote Pop Rock

It's not all about the connection. Some audiences buy albums, others just don't. Taylor's audience does.

Sia was the executive producer of her EP

For the third time, another reason is because Iggy isn't really a part of the rap/urban community, and those buyers actually shift records.

Pop will support it sure, but at the end of the day urban (and country!) buyers hold a lot of power over the charts.

As I said earlier as well, none of that matters really when you compare it to the fact that Iggy Azalea is completely devoid of talent.

Well they've been in the game for over a decade, so it's not a fair comparison.

Well that explains the, ahem, quality.

I'll never forget when Iggy said in an interview with Hot 97 that Angel Haze is a better rapper, and T.I. scolded her for saying that you never say another rapper is better than you (which is true).
