The thing is, even with the drama- Beyonce was in front of the firing squad. She was the one being called out, she was the one being called a fake bitch, she was the one that was being hated, she was the one that had the private breakdown... the drama can only take you so far before it's up to the music and the product and how you push it/market it. PCD just had a line-up change and Melody and Nicole were fighting publicly at Britney Spears concerts they opened for, where's their sales boost? Don't forget 3LW tried it too- their last charting single was one with Naturi on it- ironically. Danity Kane tried it on national TV. And most things are sold with publicity- whether it's intentional, like selling sex, or unintentional, like group drama. |
3lw was never relevant. PCD were never that popular in terms of album sales. they had 4 massive hits and they only had a platinum certification. Their second album as a whole was forgetable.
Destiny''s Child were already semi popular, but U HAVE to remember all the publicity they had recieved when that drama went down. Not to mention, they had the smash singles to go with it. The album wasn't flopping or anything., But that really did give them the extra push into mainstream. They were literally making cover stories because of the ever changing group lineup. Saying the writings on the wall sold massively just because of Beyonce is foolery.
Smash Singles + Major Publicity= Hit album.
