Latino/Hispanic isn't a race...

Are you trolling? I hope you are

[Superbitch]

Some of y'all should worry about your own fave before trynna drag someone's sales. oh the irony!

[Theus]

In the end she is not going to outsell any of these albums outside of the US

She is going to end as an singles artist or "hot for one year" since she we can't call her a 1HW anymore because of Problem.

Latino/hispanic is a culture. It is not a race. My fave Xtina is latina, but she is white

He is white skinned according to society, but he is not actually Caucasian.

Hispanics/latinos will never refer to themselves as white, gtfo

So stupid

It's because the song got popular AFTER the album release.

John Legend's 'All Of Me' hit #1 more than 8 months after his album release, and his album sold 2x more than Iggy's.

[NEUTRON]

She's still attempting to build a fan base.

All the majority of her "fans" know is Fancy at this point in the US. And a large chunk of the sales of any smash hit are casual consumers who just bought the single cuz they like it.

The hype that Nicki had before PF dropped was EXTREME. Nicki was EVERYWHERE before PF dropped; features, music videos, Your Love & Right Through Me were doing their thing. That's not comparable.

Iggy had none of that. Hell, the only single that actually made any impact was Fancy.

First of all I wasn't the one who started comparing Iggy to her, even though they were basically in the same place in their careers when they released their debut albums, even though Nicki was more featured. Buuuut, none of Nicki's features or her own songs before the album was released were as big as Fancy OR Problem.

I mean it's not Nicki's fault everyone wanted (and still wants) to work with her.

Ummm sis, it doesn't matter if it was "focused" in the U.S., Iggy released 3 singles before Fancy. Period. It's not our fault she didn't promote them in the U.S. That argument is flawed.

I'm really loving iHype's receipts/arguments in this thread.

3 do your research before you try to "shade"

[Nebula]

Its funny how you make this thread and masquerade around as unbiased and trying to start a discussion...

Stop hating on artists and dwelling on sales. Music not the bling. Cuz that's all this thread was made to do, rub commercial failure in a musician's face.

[nick4bty]

Because her album sucks

[Cap10Planet]

Many Hispanics/Latinos would not consider themselves "Caucasian." Neither would a good percentage of the GP.

Both of my faves have sold over 50 million albums, and have Diamond albums to their names.

What's to worry?

[KatyLegendperry]

She doesn't appeal to pop fans because she's too hip hop and she doesn't appeal to hip hop fans because she's too pop. She's very polarazing and she's also EXTREMELY singles-driven.

OT: I honestly have no idea. I didn't like the album but I would've thought she'd have shifted more albums with the success of fancy

Look up singles sweetie, she didn't release 3 singles. Work was sent to radios, the rest were only sent to one genre and not given a full radio release.

But they were released as singles. Worldwide.
