So many factors working against them
- There's only 12 tracks, a lot of people might not buy it because of that, I mean it's the same price as Ariana's album which has 15 tracks
- There were so many other releases in the last few weeks, a lot of people might have already spent their money on Ariana's/Bey's/Drake's/Meghan's albums and won't want/be able to buy 7/27
- The complete my album option isn't working properly, anyone who's already bought WFH might not buy the album
- It did pretty bad on pre-orders
- 7/27 tracks are charting worse on iTunes than Reflection tracks
- Only #2 on iTunes, Reflection was #1
- So many stores were understocked/didn't have the album at all
- Many people will think the album is coming out on 7/27 because that's the title, so they won't buy it yet
- The album leaked days before it came out, a lot of people won't actually buy it if they already downloaded it
- The Apple Music fake 20th May pre-release might have confused some people
- Not much US promo on release week, just the Today show performance?
- They have a lot of young fans whose parents might not let them buy it since WFH is pretty sexual + the explicit rating (I know there's a clean version but some people might still be put off)
- YouTube doesn't count for SPS and it's easily their best metric. WFH has long since peaked on Spotify
- Work From Home doesn't seem like an album seller type of song
- The standard cover is horrible, anyone who doesn't wanna buy the Deluxe may not buy it at all
Sorry for the long pessimistic rant but I just don't wanna be too disappointed if this doesn't chart well.
