How was dancehall big in 2005 when pon de replay was the first top ten dancehall hit that year?
Or when the only other dancehall hit peaked at number 4 the previous year?
Urban was the trend in 2005 not dancehall
Moreover TTT is more urban than pop, Do Ya Thang, Roc Me Out, Farewell, WAWL, watch n learn, Red Lipstick. The pop songs there are mostly WHYB and WFL.
Dance music isn't dominating at the moment
Urban did make a comeback this year and 2 on would have hit if done by Rih or Bey, DiL peaked at no.2 remember?
Stop trying to justify Tinashe's underperformance as to her being able to make it out big, I wish her all the best, she's young, beautiful and talented but at times that's not all it takes, anyway I wish her well.
P.S GGGB, LOUD, TTT all had urban influences despite them being pop albums so Rih still didn't start doing urban with unapologetic, get your facts right
And selling over 3.5M in this album sales state is poor?
Then I guess all our faves except Adele, Taylor and P!nk have poor album sales
theres nothing urban about red lipstick or do ya thang! the only one out of those that may be considered urban is watch n learn!
Like i said there is nothing urban about do your thang which sounds like a watered down version of whats my name and thats definitely NOT URBAN! that is RandB/POP and I mean heavy on the POP!Red lipstick sounds like a track MIA would do and we all know she aint no where near URBAN!
I guess she had the whole unique, island image going for her. The 'Tinahse type' has been done so many times.
