Chris Brown - 139k
Monica - 32k

At first I thought it was a lack of promo but... I'm beginning to think it's the demographic
Thoughts?
Lack of promo
Iman, go wrap some fucking gifts are so. Do something with yourself.
What about all the white pop stars that flop

Both did promo though like :ohwow: wtf
I think there's a lack of interest
No behind the scenes,no interviews, no exclusives ect
There isn't a platform on Tv for urban music
I mean....those numbers aren't surprising.
Mon is not making good music.
And Chris should be Iconic right now. But rih happened.
When mon had a hit... ( everything to me)
And when Chris had a hit (deuces)
Regardless of their situations... They sold.
Good music speaks for itself
I need Frank Ocean to release that album

QuoteSerious discussion
im sorry but
a
I'm being serious...
Did Monica even have a music video?
NVM just looked it up, she did...it only has 1million views...Thats horrible for a first single. I was watching her BC interview and they said the song was a hit but it was a silent one. Monica didn't have any hype.
I think she's at a place of being in this game for so long people think oh heard one album heard them all.
I actually liked New Life better...

Lol that wasn't for you but fuck u
It's a two tiered issue.
The first issue is the genre and it's supporter. R&B in its "heyday" was majority backed even by the white consumers and that's the issue.
The other issue is that they are not allowed to promote properly.

Yeah past tense. Now where is Antee
No. I just don't think ppl were interested in Mon' this time around. My mom's a huge stan & she paid her dust this time around. I think it may have something to do with her HATING New Life :justabit:
Also we kinda have no where for these niggers to promote. Where's 106? Bring it back! :flamebroiled:
It is a little of both.
R&B releases for the most part were awful this year. Look at the most recent ones for instance: R.Kelly, Chris Brown, Monica.... they were all a damn mess.
I really hope someone is gonna come along soon and really bring the genre back though. Maybe with Beyonc? most likely dropping the 1st quarter can help Jumpstart the process!

There's only one pop song on Self-Titled and she hadn't made a pop song since IASF.
She's R&B/Urban/and a Spitz of Pop.
(http://i.imgur.com/PQNp90W.gif)
R&B like we knew it is over.
1993-2007 was the time for R&B. Just like disco, funk and any other genre had their turn. R&B had a long, strong and healthy run and is turning into a genre of back in the day.

loll well...
she's no longer under the r&b genre anymore on itunes. she's under pop
so i guess the gorls consider her just that nowadays
and she might as well be.
she doesnt show up to urban award shows anymore
Miguel, Jazmine Sullivan, Jeremih all released critically acclaimed albums and did disgusting numbers.
Oh. You don't show to the Lady of Soul awards, so you are not an R&B artist :dead:
she doesn't show up for ANY urban award show.
she's not considered r&b anymore...
it is what it is..
Miguel's album was CATASTROPHIC

I hate it too, but it was appreciated by the critics.
Well, Chris doesn't make "slave music" so I figured all of the non-slaves would show out and support...guess not.
:udontlookok:
It's NIGGERS
If it ain't rap; they don't really support like that.
And Chris has a lot of White fans too to keep him afloat
they did.
and thus why his sales shitted on every other urban release this year
:)

that's because his audience >>>
I find it a little strange to blame it on black people. I do not agree with that.
It is easy math.
IF blacks actually are the main ones buying black artist's music and whites for whites then the following applies.
Blacks make up 12-13% of the US population. While white people make up roughly 70% of the US population. So more than four times as many people in the United States are white than black.
That means by default a white person is expected to sell four times as much or even more than a black counterpart. So if you manage to do half, or a quarter of a white act you are perfectly fine.
JB: 522k
CB: 140k
He did exactly what is expected when you look at the black/white ratio in the United States.

then why is he ranting on raving on twitter about not being appreciated? :uhh:
If you wanna get technical R&B acts actually do better than pop acts who havent established themselves as a big name.
I mean Call Me Maybe was HUGE, but Carly Rae Jepsen's last two albums flopped to the pits of hell.
I just think people aren't selling.
i miss 106&park only place for the urban acts to go and promote and now it's gone
BET ain't shit for that tbqfh

Like I said before, outside of Adull and Taylor, no one is moving units like that.
This isn't the early 2000's anymore. The music industry as a whole is dying.
its still more units than the majority of blacks are moving...
(http://i2.cdn.turner.com/money/2010/02/02/news/companies/napster_music_industry/chart_music.top.gif)
Yes black people are the problem
All the genres of music and r&b definitely accounted for 99.9 of it and its sales
and FYI..
a lot of those albums came out last year, they're only tallying this years sales.
so if you factor this year and last year together they are slaying. a lot of them are platinum

I guess it hit urban music harder once it lost mainstream appeal. Geez all these big/established names and they ain't seeing certs?
:omgwatshappening:
Demi, Ariana, Meghan, Carly Rae are still EONS above Sevyn, Teyana, Jhene, Tinashe, Mila as far as exposure, hit singles, album sales etc is concerned.
But that is to be explained with 12% being black and 70% being white in the USA, it is to be expected.

once upon a time i used to buy her shit, but i stopped when i didn't care for her much anymore..
(http://i50.tinypic.com/m9rvb7.jpg)
and actually...
I've been very good about her lately.
I haven't made any threads or bashed her. I'm over that. I'm working on a better me
and thats no negativity. I don't want to even speak it. I'm removing all aspects of negativity in my life
I'm a brand new bitch. :)
and I'm just loving me
:feelinmyself:
I really do think it comes down to blacks not buying. Sorry but it's all adding up!
but i ain't pussy, so don't come for me and we cool...
i ain't there yet!
I'm working on it.

Are u guys slow?
JB: 520k
CB: 140k
Blacks make only 12% / Whites make 70%
So the numbers correlate perfectly with their demographic and skin color.
Are you?
QuoteIn 2014 US Census Bureau estimated 45,672,250 African Americans in the United States meaning that 14.3% of the total American population of 318.9 Million is Black.
Now explain these sales. The blacks aren't buying. It's that simple.
There should be a study on this.

gorl..are you? calm down...
that honestly just tells me blacks aren't buying and whites are
12% should still be able to do more than that, but his core audience don't buy!

I used to be the biggest Monica stan literally until "Until It's Gone" that crappy duet.
This record I didn't bother to listen to more than once. Something about her voice is just OFF.. iono something happened, it is so dry and some of these sour ass notes.

it's dead guys. acrobatic vocals don't sell anymore.
they do if you have the right skin color.
:ohwow: :young:
Justin Bieber, Jessie J, Ed Sheeran, Ariana Grande, Adele, Meghan Trainor, are doing mighty fine with their "soulful" voices.
Justin has a 'soulful' voice? :hmph:
Except Adele and Ariana I don't know the others singers You mentioned but I don't think it's a "race" issue. Beyonc? is black for example but her albums are selling very well and She has a huge fanbase composed of white people.
and I want u to know that Bert is a flop and a pedo btw.

Guess it's a proven fact that crackers don't buy music either
Nigger, they looked at you crazy because they didn't expect your black ass would listen to Adele. Probably thought you listen Lil Wayne and Boosie.

They're just tryna find someone to place the blame on for their faves floppage

wtf Reba
Why would anyone buy a Monica album though? She's very pretty but she doesn't sell sex. Her voice is good, but she's not marketed live a vocal diva the way Ariana or Adele are. She has no scandal and no reality show to promote her shit. Sonically what is she doing that we haven't heard before?

Justin Bieber could be black lol, his voice and style is R&B downe. His image and exposure level is pop. But if he was black, he'd be classified as R&B.
And Beyonc? literally works 10 times as hard as the other gurs I mentioned, she had to bend over backwards to barely go platinum, while Taylor Swift, Adele do these numbers in their sleep.
And Bert is the most successful R&B act of the last 30 years, so if he is a "flop", the entire genre is.

He sings just like all the other current R&B male singers honestly. Ed Sheeran too.
Just admit that white artists sell more because they're white and more appealing to the GP.

'man is so rude
Negress self
I don't understand
So if we acknowledge the fact that white artist sell easily, especially given the fact that the majority of the U.S. Is Caucasian
Why is it such an issue that blacks aren't selling as much
Especially given the music sales climate these days
