Tamar’s new album “Calling All Lovers” may have suffered quite a bit as a result of her label pushing it back.
Hits Daily Double writes:
Barring any “sneak attack” superstar releases, BMG’s returning icon Janet Jackson should easily claim the #1 spot on both the HITS sales and SPS charts next Friday with her new set, Unbreakable. Here’s what we have for Janet and the week’s other key debut, Tamar Braxton’s Calling All Lovers.
Janet Jackson (BMG) 90-105k albums, 93-108k SPS
Tamar Braxton (Epic) 38-43k, 42-47k
Dang Tamar.
That push back may have did it.
I don’t care when an album drops if it is a good album people will buy it. K’s first album did better than both of Tamar’s and Tamar bragged and bragged about her albums and how good she is, yet why cant you sell any regardless. If you are on the Beyoncé, Rihanna, Toni list then where are your sales boo? I am just saying we all know you can sing but something is missing here. Maybe as time goes by and she continues to promote then it will get better or maybe they need to re-release down the road don’t know but, somebody at streamline records (cough Vince, Tamar)needs to sit down somewhere and maybe look at some other avenues of superstardom. LOl maybe Tamar needs to look into acting, TV, Movies. She has a big personality that I think she would be more of a success. Maybe just put out singles! A Braxton album is looking really good right now, maybe that will help. A song with Toni maybe. I don’t know but not even 50k first week that is very very sad. Tamar is multi-talented person that can do more than just sing, but when I listen to her speak, dance, and sing I feel her strength and her biggest success may not come from music but from TV, or Movies. I think her sense of humor and personality, to an extent, is way bigger than her voice. The people that buy music are very picky right now about what they buy. They want more than a snooze-fest at times. Ballads are great but I think people still expect way more than Tamar is able to give. Moving forward, I hope Tamar’s sales get better, if not she can so be alright with her other endeavors. Cant wait for Toni’s new single. Now that’s meant to be! No shade just truth!
I’m so happy for Janet!
That’s why it was smart of Tamar to get more income streams. R&B music is struggling to sell. Janet’s numbers aren’t bad at all. Good for her.
Happy for Janet even though I didn’t like Tamar’s album I thought she would sell more but she really didn’t like have a hit single like she did with the last album. People forget it is hard to sell albums in this day in age if you aren’t a big star.
flops
Now didn’t Tamar shade K’s album sales at one point? This may be karma.
Yes! And K did 89k with her last album and was called a “flop” by Tamar fans. Isn’t that funny.
Exactly.
I’m happy for Janet. That’s all.
I legit had no idea Tamar or Janet’s albums came out. Smdh.
Now I respect Janet but the way her stans were all on he blogs dragging Beyonce, Rihanna and etc. talking bout get out the way Janet’s back you would think Janet would have gone at least gold her first week. I mean they were nastier than y’all think I am too. Lmao. Anyway, Tamar got screwed by her label.
Hmmmmmmmm
Vince didn’t buy any albums this time huh LMAOOOOO. J/K!
You’re being silly but I’m starting to wonder. LOL.
When Tamar’s album release date got changed, I knew she wasn’t going to do well. Janet’s numbers are strong IMO. Plus I hear it’s a good album.
I’m elated for Janet but I must admit, I don’t think the album is very good.
I agree. It’s not that great like people are hyping it up to be. But I’m happy for tho.
Tamar’s album is better than Janet’s.
