COOOK 76,406 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Artists have a hard time following their debut with an album that lived up to the standards of it. Sometimes they managed to make even better albums, while others had no such luck. The latter was known as the "sophomore slump". This past century our Main Pop Girls broke the curse with their successful second release: But when they reached their fourth album: You either loved or hated them, but they sure turned out to be the most divisive among fan bases and music lovers, many even calling it their "flop" era. With rumors that Adele's lead single is going to be upbeat, do you think her album will face a similar fate? Make your predictions, we'll be keeping this thread as receipts for when the album drops. We might have a few surprises... and mess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WhoDoWeHaveHere Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Of course it will sell less then 25. Streaming changed sales numbers too much since then. Some crazy people will make it out to be a flop by her standards. But she will still steamroll anyone in her way. Kind of when people tried to make taylor's lover into a flop. Rolling in the deep is also a faster song. And still one of her best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartz 12,535 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Nope. It's so anticipated. It would take a miracle for it to flop like if she popped her bussy Inside, we are really made the same. 🕊 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithy 2,373 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 It will be considered an underperformance regardless of how well it does because she won’t surpass the peak of 21/25 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson123 38,414 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Don’t forget Bionic and Queen. Edit: Also Avril Lavigne's Goodbye Lullaby even though I think it's better than Best Damn Thing. NSYNC and Fifth Harmony didn't even make a fourth album, Rihanna's Rated R was considered a "flop" based on Good Girl's standards but still successful (same with ARTPOP I guess), Justin Timberlake's Man of The Woods if you count 20/20 as one project. I took these from a reddit post but are kinda true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 97,987 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 The only way I see her new album flopping is if the lead single is really, really, really bad, like, I Be Flossin bad. If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FentyGa 14,340 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 i dont think the 4th album curse rly applies to sweetener lol rated r and queen are better examples but yeah, adele will avoid it, same as mariah and taylor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 27,087 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I think it won't do as well as 21/25 but it will probably still end up being the best selling album of 2021. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
