Olivia Rodrigo - SOUR (May 21, 2021) • Page 11

If you call (323) 622-7687, you get a little sneak peak of “enough for you”

 

1 step forward 3 steps back samples New Year's Day by Taylor Swift

 

good lord she has so much power

 

Short memories lol. The numbers she put up in 2015 were INSANE. Literally unheard of.

Moms will eat it up her new album whenever it drops.

But yeah, outside of Adele, it’s Billie and then Olivia that seem likely to dominate sales this year for an individual release. And then Taylor will cumulatively dominate with god knows how many records this year plus her most recent releases.

 

It’s not short memories - it’s been 7 years - music and culture have changed dramatically

 

Oh wow this is TONIGHT

 

can’t wait to bop it driving to virginia tomorrow

 

Old people will still eat up Adele.

 

old people will eat up whatever their grandkids ask them to. so, olivia.

 

So excited for the album! Probably won’t listen to it until tomorrow after work, but I’m hyped to see everyone’s reactions.

 

It was a couple months short of five years in between 21 and 25. It’s been five 1/2 years between 25 and present day. Certainly 21 had far bigger singles/staying power and she also had Skyfall in between the two to keep her relevant plus what you referenced in regards to the culture changing so a massive decrease from 25 is inevitable. But falling down to earth numbers for her should still be huge.

She recently hosted SNL to its biggest ratings outside of the season premiere and the post-election episodes without even being the musical guest. It was one of the pre-election episodes, but she had the highest rated one.

Even if sales drop 66% for the new album it’s still going triple platinum.

IMO Adele’s the type of artist that gets people to buy music who don’t usually buy music and you can’t discount that.

 

My mom has only bought 1 record in the last 20 years and it was Adele. She has no idea who Olivia is.

 

Plus, Adele has that single name power

Anybody thinking her sales are going to be anything less than stellar are tripping

 

Most moms have no idea who Olivia is, for sure

 

think I might go out and buy the CD on release day tomorrow

first time I've done that in forever but every single has rocked and I feel extra invested in her career as a fellow Filipino-American

 

i don't know who your mom is, it evens out

 

They will both sell an obscene amount of albums. Who gives a shit who sells more.

 

since Adele said she's not doing a number album title again the next one is definitely just gonna be self-titled right

 

gotta be

 

eledA

 

Adkins as the follow-up

 

I get that Adele hasn't released an album in six years, but if you don't think she's going to put up some serious sales AND streaming numbers whenever the hell she decides to come back, then I think you're insane!

If anything, I think the relative "scarcity" she's created from only releasing albums every half a decade has only helped make them feel like bigger events.

 

Adele is the James Cameron of pop music.

 

i think there's a difference between "not contending for #1 album of the year" and not thinking "she's gonna put up serious sales" haha
