Also NFR felt extremely dead on arrival too, as all of the Venice Bitch/critical hype fell away during the literal year gap.

 

FIILY and The Greatest made virtually no noise when they came out, the video literally has less views than the chemtrails video and it’s been out 6 weeks compared to nearly two years 

 

it’s impossible to tell how an album for an artist like her will do based on single sales and streams. Her core fan base will always buy/stream which, contrary to the belief that QFTC killed her career, is still fairly large, the rest will depend on word of mouth and any promotion she does, if any

 

The truth is everybody except the mentioned artists stans (twitter trolls) and some biased reviewers (Maria I'm looking at you) has already moved past QFTC... I think COCC sales/streams will be on trend with her releases, maybe a little bit higher since it'll be NFR follow up

I just can’t see the album being more successful than Norman. Chemtrails is tanking in streams and LMLYLAW literally gets no streams. No to mention in iTunes album preorders she’s literally out of the top 20. I’m fearing a tank unless Ben and Ed do something (which they wont). 

Yeah but didn’t we buy like 10 variants each of the damn album though the standard cover is ugly as fvck?

She has a growing fan base. LFL hit 1B streams and NFR is about to do so even faster. Chemtrails probably won’t have the Honeymoon curse.

Idk about that. All of her droplets (Mariners, VB, even hope) were doing really well in streams before the album dropped, and then she dropped the Doin Time video on release week and that went kinda viral online. Not to mention the critical acclaim during the first week and the pitchfork 9.4 def had people interested. It just feels like she’s lost a lot of fans and we’re gonna see that impact in sales

Well ya, the release week really gave that album a second wind.  I was meaning before that.
 

And COCC has like 25 million streams already, I feel like that’s pretty respectable and the first day of it was better than any of the NFR singles first days IIRC, which is why I reeaaaalllly don’t think that we will see any noticeable dip in her sales. So many artists have been “cancelled” and literally nothing happens. What happens in stan Twitter has no correlation to real life. 
 

That being said LMLYLAW was definitely a flop compared to NFR and was a mistake to release first.

but they say that cocc already has twice as much sales as nfr and theres still month till the release

i don't doubt that the album will have a lot of success in Europe and the UK (where the x2 sales was referring to), possibly her best sales since Ultraviolence, maybe. I do think that all of her recent controversies would only really affect her here in the states, as we're kinda the epicenter of "cancel culture" and we'd be the place where it's most likely to see a sizeable decrease in sales

I feel like they mean twice the pre-sales which makes sense considering there’s literally 100,00,000 versions 

[Vanilla Icy 29,602]

is the album really gonna perform well based on those vinyl sales? i can see it perform similarly to honeymoon but at least honeymoon had a somewhat big lead single 

also i don't think she'd go the payola route when she was praising annie mac to the gods just for playing her song on the radio

Wait, what if this was the strategy all along? Giving us an ugly cover and then releasing a thousand variants so we would rush to buy them? It's actually genius, her mind

so i guess 100 vinyl variants will be a norm since now

[littleredpartydress 49,871]

Rip anyone who comes back to +50 new posts only to see random discourse about first week sales

The only cute vinyl variant was the Neil Krug one let’s be real.

Also her monthly listeners on Spotify increased during the last two years!

Yup. The og cover is actually so repulsive I can’t even look at it. Like the last thing I wanna see is val vogt front and centre idgaf. 

[Jimmytheworst 855]

is any other big artist releasing shit on the 19th? Billboard number 1 incoming 

[Make me your Dream Life 87,814]

Since we're talking about vinyl I would LOVE a COCC single with the wolf single photo and remixes instrumental outro version at the back. Same for White Dreeeesss 

[Off To The Races 2010 demo pls 19,335]

The fact that COCC is probably gonna chart better than Katy's last album omg
