It's a dumb and extremely pointless tactic, and Meghan's underperformance is concrete proof of that  |
Yeah, I know that's gonna **** up our chances of getting in some extra sales + streams. 'Cause I know casual fans and the general public who will stream it on the first week it's available won't bother to give it the extra stream once it's actually out.
I'm actually really worried now, I really wanted them to hit 100k but it's looking less and less possible.
I'm just clinging onto the fact that the girls have huge fanbase and they can push that front-loaded sales better than Reflection. My prediction is at 75-95k max. I don't think they'll do 100k. I hope that I'm wrong though.
Hopefully it'll do well globally
