ARTGOD 3,266 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I agree that an awkward name can be detrimental, but what i really hate are bland, generic and lazy names that dont relate to the music in the album at all. If your album title is "bad" it better be at least telling what the album is like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manul 7,377 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Anti was quite disappointing considering Robyn has come up with better ones "Loud, Rated R, Unapologetic, TTT" Prism and Teenage Dream too. Do teenage girls really dream about being juicy/covered in cream and being filled with alien semen? it wasn't laaaahv Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

display name 4,360 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I think there is something to your theory. Like, imagine trying to get promo. "Whatcha listening to?" "Oh, just '@nus.'" - I know the example I gave isn't mainstream, but yeah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hausoffame 388 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Hard Candy. I love M to death, but that's the worst title and the cover was atrocious! I can even live with MDNA even though it's a lazy title. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodeckDanny 2,450 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Anyone who titled their compilation album something like "Greatest hits... so far!" LOL Listen to my debut pop single 'Want You Bad'! (link on Insta) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson123 38,179 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 An album can fail if the artist at that time is not popular or they don't promote it. I think some bad album covers or names can be successful if they do it right. For example, if Rihanna had named her album R8 instead of Anti, it'd have been as big because of the singles and obviously because her name is attached to the song. Joanne would not have sold 200k copies if Gaga's name wasn't attached to it. The music is good but the album cover and name are not as sticking as Born This Way, ARTPOP and The Fame Monster. I agree that sometimes the cover and name can make it more attractive, but it's not always a factor. Kanye West for example or Beyoncé are examples of this.
