I actually expected Billie to be able to outstream Sweetener and Chromatica. Especially considering she’s coming off the biggest female spotify album ever. I genuinely have no idea why this is such a controversial opinion.

She did the exact same number as Sweetener, You know this album had no hits preceding, don’t make comparisons.

This should have been a surprise album release. Your Power, Lost Cause and NDA were HORRIBLE single choices and gendered really low expectations. A lot of people didn’t even listen to the record because they thought it was going to be weak. The bad strategy hurt an amazing album.

It’s kind of a bomb, sorry.

I was expecting a little under 2x those numbers

positions also had a non existent roll out. it was stupid to bring it up in a conversation about happier than ever …

It was better strategy to drop the album in 1 week and not in 1 year roll-out. My Future was released 1 year ago.

Positions/any Ariana album is not comparable to Billie. Billies songs are usually streaming poison because of pace. Without an active hit these numbers are expected.
Ari keeps songs 2 minutes long because of streaming plus her writing team makes trap infused pop which will obviously do better. Plus Folkmore and Positions all benefited from a shorter roll out hence much better first day numbers.

exclusive partnership with spotify, notification in users’ emails, 3 playlists just for her, with lyrical video, to make a measly 35kk of streams at the end

Jesus, you guys are so toxic. Maybe wait for the second day numbers before overreacting and 35M is certainly not a bomb. We will see how well this album sustains itself.

Not sure why you’re bringing up Positions when it did 23m more than Happier Than Ever. This debut is actually shocking and I’m really not sure why anyone is trying to deny it. Go look up any prediction threads for it on atrl, popheads, twitter or even here. No one had it THIS low

It’s well known that user is an Ariana hater. Sorry Billienators, but these numbers are underwhelming, there’s no excuse
