No idea what that has to do with anything...it's moreso because she's 24 she's not gonna be all "sweet and innocent" like she's some sort of 14 year old on Disney like she used to be.

there's just badly any demand for music by female artists tbh, that's the sad reality

same reason meg's struggling. same with how Nicki is barely hanging on

ok this is statistically and objectively bullshit

what's bullshit about it? men completely dominate music, the only female artist that's hiphop/r&b adjacent that's dominating the mainstream is Doja Cat right now whilst there's like 10+ different men.

pop is different of course, but artists like chloe aren't making white girl pop

SZA also bro but Cardi B is still doing great as a female rapper. Nicki just had a #1. There are more successful female rappers now than there ever have been. Sure men still dominate the rap scene but things are quickly changing

Singles mean almost nothing these days when it comes to popularity. I thought you'd know better.

If they meant anything we'd be calling 24kgoldn one of the biggest artists of the last few years after mood. Instead he sold like 16k a few months later with his album & it had 0 longevity.

But I'm sure Nicki releases her album and struggles doing 100k-120k you'll be on here making all kinds of excuses coping about how great that is now.

11 male artists outsold Queen by Nicki in 2018. That's what I'm talking about.

Well let's start with this:

1. Going the Solo Direction when them as a duo was starting to build a dedicated fanbase for their music. Me personally, I don't subscribe to the idea that they were not getting attention towards their music. Cause if you had seen how much they sold from their first album "The Kids Are Alright" to Ungodly Hour, They went from sitting at number 139 on BB 200 to number 16 with 24k first week. Not the best, but it showed that people were starting to check out their music and invest in them as artists. Plus Do It was their first single to finally hit the Hot 100 charts at number 63.
So they were going at organic pace with their direction as a duo. Mind you, they had visuals, ideas, plans for the rollout, and a themes done before hand at the end of 2019. And it resulted in good commercial success.

With this new solo direction that Chloe's going with. It's completely obvious that her team had no ideas going forward after Have Mercy. Because her and Parkwood are trying any idea to make her blow up with these blatant PR stunts. Like her and Gunna trying to start a Bey and Jay moment with "U & Me" when DS4 dropped but nobody gave a s*** about that track or them as a potential couple, even hip hop blogs point it out that it was ploy for her second single. They did that in the meantime until her second single rollout started and that s*** flopped. Or we can talk about the Lollipop video, or we can talk about the toilet picture. Or the fact that the Treat Me video looks like a budget softcore music video. OR THE FACT THAT CHLOE HAD TO GET ON IG LIVE TO ASK HER FANS WHAT SHOULD BE HER NEXT SINGLE?!?!?! LIKE NIGGA WHAT?!?!?!?!

It's clear that Chloe, Parkwood, and Columbia decided to jump the shark into this direction after the success of the Buss It Challenge and Have Mercy thinking it will get her to have mainstream success, but no it's backfiring because it's f***in impossible for an artist like her to have that success yet, especially when her and her sister still have a very low fanbase that supports their music. If they wanted her to go solo meanwhile Halle was still on film set for The Little Mermaid, THEY SHOULD'VE DONE A F***IN EP SO THEN IT WOULD'VE ALLOWED FANS TO SEE ARE INTERESTED IN CHLÖE'S SOLO MUSIC!!!!!!!!!! IF NOT, MOVE ON TO CXH3!!! Like bro, Billie Ellish put out a EP first before trying to do an album like what??!?!?!? BUT NO, THESE F***IN LABELS ARE SO DAMN BUSY TRYING TO HAVE A HUGE SOLO DEBUT THAT THEY CAN BANK FROM CHLOE

Everything about this was premature that it's f***in hilarious.

2. The singles and timing of the singles.

Honestly, I didn't like Have Mercy that much, but I thought it was a decent first single to start off, but then they should've came back with a single that everybody would've loved, something that would've been interesting and relatable, but still catchy for mainstream listeners, that should've been the song that Chloe previewing now "For the Night". But instead we got a poorly mixed and messy ass bounce song in Treat Me. Then released a song like Surprise, which is a good R&B song, but tbh that should've came out back in Valentines Day instead of that boring ass "U & Me" track. And why the f*** Treat Me came 7-8 months after Have Mercy. If they actually had a strategic plan, they would've had Have Mercy come out like it did first, but then a song that connects with everybody and that is interesting in January, then Surprise on Valentines Day, then lastly a summer single like Treat Me in April/May.

Like bro, it's clear that she wanted to have this album out this year and so far it's failing and its shaping up to be not to be released this year unless something changed.

And mind you I haven't even talked about her image yet. They'll be more in the essay.

But at the end of the day, my opinions probably won't matter (especially when I'm not as successful as her), because this is what she wants and we just have to sit back and see if things actually start shaping up.

So maybe her and her team not making mistakes, but they damn sure making some stupid ass decisions.

I hope so, it'd be dope to see a superstar again cause I don't think we've had one in a long time now, probably early 2010s with Nicki

Doja/Cardi could get there if their next albums are as big, even Nicki again if her next album is actually huge but Queen didn't really do that well
