This tbh...it’s shocking to see how well folklore is performing, considering a surprise release. Katy deserves better, this really is sad. That said I think this album rollout was horrifically mismanaged. She either should have stuck with droplets, OR - had no droplets, sat on NRO until they were ready, launched NRO as single one, Daisies as single 2, dropped a couple bops (Small Talk, also maybe Champagne Problems or Tucked) as promo singles and given us a full body of work. Kept it standard, rather than this piecemeal approach which wasted all the momentum NRO had. i mean think of all the promo she did for Daisies; if it had been for NRO instead? She’d have a hit and better album numbers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnknownUser71 2,878 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Sad for Katy, Smile is not a bad album at all, it deserved better. Good for Taylor, she is a legend at this point, folklore is such a good album, I hope we're getting more videos Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posthumous albums are the one aspect of capitalism I despise To be fair, they are both fantastic albums (for what they are). They’re not in my personal favourite genre, but they’re really good though I’m a simple guy to please, if you like Melodrama, we chill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas P 18,479 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 In the grand scheme of things, Katy has a baby, a seemingly great man, an album that she seems extremely proud of and she has a better outlook on the commercial side of the music industry, so as long as she’s happy, who cares. I don’t super love Smile, some songs are in the best of her career, others are among the worst, but she says it was therapeutic so I’m happy for her. I’m a simple guy to please, if you like Melodrama, we chill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just don't know it's his. And Pop Smoke died. This is a post mortem album. Those always do moderately well even if they are unknown.

HookerDotGov 542 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Smile was a huge failure in roll-out. It's a step-up from Witness and going in the right direction. Better single choices and more cohesive visuals really would have helped it debut better. That being said, a #5 debut isn't terrible. Xtina debuted at #6 with Liberation and Kesha debuted at #7 with High Road, both girls really in the groove of releasing music they want and not entirely chart driven. Hopefully that's the deal with Katy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
