DiscoHeaven23 35,007 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 What happened with Barbra Streisand's latest album? According to Hits Daily Double, Barbra's new album Walls debuted at #11. This makes it her lowest charting non-Christmas LP since 1984's Emotion. All of her LPs have debuted in the Top 10 since 1984 (except this one). This is the 12th non-Christmas LP since then. Her last two albums went #1. Any thoughts? Was it too political for her fan base? Stream here. It's prob her most modern sounding album in decades Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AStarIsBorn21 3,714 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 With all due respect, Barbra just isn’t hot right now. It has nothing to do with the content matter. Plus I haven’t seen any ads for her music, are they even pushing the album? Anyway she’s such a legend and icon she really doesn’t need to do well anymore when it comes to sales and streams.

Even her last album Encore hit #1 just two years ago, and it seemed unexpected. She somehow has a modern clout and if someone can explain it please do because Madonna is taking notes EDIT: looking into it, she took a risk making it so political, criticizing the President is a hit-or-miss move with the media we have today.

rumours 45,521 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 While part of it is certainly due to its political nature, I think it also stems from the fact that the album has many originals. The last album I recall not being full of known covers was 2005's Guilty Pleasure... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That J 12,166 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I dont think it has anything to do with politics as her fanbase is made up of people who pretty much agree with her. Theyve been fans forever and shes been vocal forever so they know who she is. I'm not sure what happened tho. She is one of those artists you may never hear yet when she releases an album, it sells. Maybe her fanbase has found the power of streaming and hopefully they are doing it legally. Maybe they are waiting closer to Christmas. That's one thing she has on her side. Christmas sales will come thru. I try to listen to everything to get an idea of who's doing what and this album is actually good! Her albums are not usually my jam but I liked this one. Maybe she should do a few talk shows and get the word out better. If she were to schedule a few live shows, they would sell out in minutes so shes still fine. It is interesting tho.

Dilwyn 4,090 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 she forgot to do bundles, her last one did one because of that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judas Society 3,584 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I feel like original songs from Legends will be difficult to get popular these days. Their signature styles were the most popular at the time they were still hot. Also, streaming is basically a young people's medium. I don't know many older people who listens to Spotify. If they do, they're usually the more hip ones who listens to mostly things that are not mainstream. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
