Buffet was a mixtape?

[rosone1]

It has nothing to do with the age of the artist.Even the majority of Adele's albums sales come from physical sales.

Billboard article from 2010

Monica, together with Fantasia, shined attention on the still formidable buying power of urban adults when their new albums sold significant physical amounts in this increasingly download-fixated world.

This is 5 years ago bby. Things have changed DRASTICALLY since then.  And even this doesn't say that the "majority" of her fans buy this way. Any other data?

[GLOCK]

She could be doing a bit better if the label shipped  enough copies.

Being sold out the night of release is fucking tragic.

Don't care how u slice it. They did her dirty.
And that digital mess is a cop out excuse. Yes for us it seems like a good alternative. But for the older generation and people who don't have digital music (which is a majority of her fans) do not see it as such.
There's no reason why this is happening within hours of release.


If RCA did this to Ghan or one of your other favs you would be more empathetic to how disgusting this situation is.


She might as well not even be on a fckn label then! They didn't fund any videos, didn't help promote her album, barely shipped physical copies.

She might as well be fckn indie. She put together her own tour, I mean...

Ugh

FUCK RCA

I agree, RCA could have done more for her, definitely.

But I really wanna know where you all are getting this information that says most of her fans don't have digital music???

Especially when you look at how active she is on social media.....I just don't see her catering to some geriatric fanbase.

Please provide sone kinda source or numbers that support this.

sum of u r so STUPIDS

smh..

[Zankou.]

Wow Mon's are not only broke but also DUMB as fuck. Don't even know how to get a physical CD online.

fd


why did rob only sell 30k?

Because it was a mixtape, there was no single

[tigernathan]

Give it up already.  The album FLOPPED. She is doing HALF of what RCA shipped.

[SouravMay]

Kellz didn't do a SINGLE interview for release week. Not one.
And yeah the project essentially MIXES different sounds, a mixtape if you will hehe.

[Vonc2002]

Yea...if I can't find the physical, I'm heading to iTunes, google play or something. You can even gift it that way. A true fan is gon find a way to get ur mess.

ssddddssssssdss
oh undershipped. Supply not meeting the DEMAND
Faggots, they coulda flooded the stores with her mess and the outcome woulda been the fckn same LOLZ

How if people are literally tweeting her and have been complaining about her album being out of stock?

How?

And this has been happening since the first day of release

Boy please, ur trying to use any cracker jack ass excuse.  First of all, the majority of her fans being from the old school? Like are u fckn serious? It's 2015, if i want yo mess ill find yo mess. An old school artist dont have fans on fckn TWITTER! The same way they took to twitter to tweet, they could go and order an album online, itunes, or the countless other sites to purchase a damn album. This shit is senseless, plea

2015

"let me go to the walmart across town to see if they have the CD
i don't want to just perch on my couch with my debit card and buy  off iTunes, too much work.

It's not about too much work

R u slow?

Some people don't want DIGITAL MUSIC AND DIGITAL ALBUMS 

Stop being slow. To you it may seem like an alternative option.
But according to billboard, Monica fans purchase physically. There are people out there who DONT fuck with digital music like that.

[Nine]

mnmnnmmm not Sizzler being a mixtape

[FINE.]

Yea...if I can't find the physical, I'm heading to iTunes, google play or something. You can even gift it that way. A true fan is gon find a way to get ur mess.

thats what I'm thinking. If u can't find the physical ur just gonna say the hell with it?

Guys she would flop either way.

They aren't saying the hell with it. They're trying other locations and keep running into the same issue. Even wait a day or two and try again. If they don't but digital music and don't want a digital album, that's their preference. Some people are that way. And a lot of her fans are older and feel this way.

There was LITERALLY a billboard article namer her specifically as an artist that really only has physical sales.

She's not a digital artist. Sales and all. And I'm not saying that a good thing per say, but it is what it is.

yall are putting too much emphasis on the "fact" that the majority of her fans only buy physical copies. Monica isn't some BARBRA STREISAND.. CELINE DION type of artist

[MypuzzystanK]

these excuses. sis flopped i don't care how you spin it.. same thing happened before only thats when sales weren't low and she  booked.

it wasn't happening in 2015 i don't care how you slice it

!!!!! It's a difference between your preference being a physical copy and not having the means to purchase a digital copy. I guess her core fan base don't have smartphones.

Guess not lol

And like someone else said, you have others lIke me who aren't part of her fanbase but bought this album. So I don't think that excuse really flies. These are just the numbers she was gonna do. And it's no shade. I love the album. But it is what it is.
