That's all they've done this week though. And that did more for the song than for the album. They didn't make any appearances on GMA or Today Show or whatnot to announce the album was out and perform.

They have a huge hit though, so it's really not any excuse at all. People were saying they're bigger than Demi etc. yet they're struggling to hit the 50k mark. "No promo" is not only literally no excuse, but it's also a nonsensical one.

Wow. I'm not even disappointed, I'm mostly just confused. I know that their music isn't really the type that sells albums and that album sales in the US have been dropping extremely quickly, so I was relatively pessimistic about their debut numbers compared to most other Harmonizers. But they're really going to debut with LESS sales than Reflection, which at the time only had #43 and #40 peaking singles? It's just strange. I guess their fanbase has become complacent after 5H started getting hits.

But whatever. Album sales are basically dead in the US now, so I'm glad that their singles are doing well. At the end of the day, they still have a Top 5 US hit that's massive worldwide, which is huge for a girl group these days

at least they've got ww smash singles, no one bar the already iconic artists make money out of albums anymore.

Keep on pushing em singles girls!! I'm a bit disappointed but I saw it coming.

This ain't the end of anything

They deserve better

I just can't with this place.

People are acting as if a hit will make you sell 500k first week. This is not 1998 anymore.
Meghan just had a way bigger hit, her first album sold way more and they are predicted to do numbers not that far from her.

We all know that it's been a few years now that sales are dying, even Streaming was added to give life to sale figures cuz' everyone know that most people just don't bother to buy albums, at best they stream them or buy the tracks that they love.

Not everyone is Beyonce. I think that most of the people around here said or heard that line more than once over here, so lets not pretand like all of a sudden everyone IS Beyonce.

Yes, I'd love and even kinda expected them to do 100k in SPS but TBH? I can give you more than a few big artists that didn't even hit their numbers in pure sales or SPS, I just don't see the point in getting a warning point for that. Esp' considering the fact you can google yourself, not to mention you should know the real tea being a member in this place. So take a SIT.

This isn't really true at all. People are still selling lots of albums, America isn't the entire world.

A damn mess

[HausofAri]

And I thought they were a threat to Ariana a few months back

[chelsie]

Yikes and the sad thing is they've had tons of promo. Tons. Twitter is a goddamn lie, they've been trending almost daily. Like LM, they just have a very vocal and organized fanbase.

[Bey_Rihstan]

This is despicable given the promo tbh

[Crazy Lights]

Did people actually expect Fifth Harmony to smash?

[ManDown]

Oh well, still way better than the other US X-Factor girls.

[thatsmydemi]

Where is the good sis Ethereal with his infinite threads about 5H being bigger than Demi because they have a bigger hit than her?
