Ya'll clearly dont understand the EDM scene. Hundreds and thousands of followers. He can pull 10,000+ crowds. Tons of people know Calvin Harris. David Guetta sold 50k first week, Swedish House Mafia sold more first week.

He has had three hits. He should be selling at LEAST 30k.

2 of those hits weren't even under his name. Feel So Close wasn't top 10.


Not as hyped as you think.

The last time he was big (before WFL) was when he sued Chris Brown for plagiarizing "Yeah 3x" (and people were attacking Calvin for suing because he was irrelevant and just wanted to get his name out there).

Well he's doing 10-12k, so b00k, right?

Plus, it's not like he has a vagina. None of the girls are here for him seriously. Plus, most people don't know what his purpose is on all those "hits" anyway.

Honestly, do people even know what he looks like?

'Cause I don't.

"Feels So Close" was literally so close. It peaked at #12.

David Guetts is a MUCH bigger name than Calvin, so if he only sold 50,000 first week, the most I'd expect from Calvin is about 25,000. He's not doing that much worse than I would've expected.

This has been in the BB thread since yesterday lol.

Wow, I thought he would do more. How much did Zedd's album sell in the first week, like 8k?

I've been trying to find those numbers, according to this article Clarity had the best first week sales for a dance DJ artist LP in 10 years.

EDIT:

Around 12k. EDM is not an album-selling genre.

Still really good to match Calvin's numbers considering he is a newer artist, hasn't had as much radio play nor any collaborations with major pop stars.

Why do you comment on everything I post? Obsessed.

10k for someone who has had three hits, and has a huge EDM following is horrid.

most of the EDM following are young teens/adults who illegally get their music, so problem solved?

Feel So Close was his first song (after WFL) to chart on the Hot 100. And it was because of AMERICA'S GOT TALENT that got it to the position it is today

[slobro]

Oh, disappointing

[Nicole]

Feel So Close is so good

No one knows who he is though.

This tbh.

His only solo accomplishment is two top twenty hits on the Hot 100, and suing Chris Brown with huge publicity on "Yeah 3x". He's irrelevant in the U.S so it's no surprise his sales are so low.

I can't at some thinking he would do well cause he is Rihanna's producer..

Rihanna can't sell her ****** albums, how the **** is she going to help sell other's..

He's not "Rihanna's producer." He has his own hit (Feel So Close) which IMO is actually better than WFL.
