That's a pretty good comparison actually using someone who was a legend in their respective genre and then disappeared for 15-20 years, you can look to her album release in 2017 to get an idea.Agugaga wrote: ↑Tue Nov 16, 2021 1:00 amThat was 20 years ago when she was a brand new, huge pop star! I mean really…If Shania Twain released an album today I would not expect it to be huge just because she was the biggest country artist 20 years ago.pato wrote: ↑Tue Nov 16, 2021 12:54 amYou say this because you have NO IDEA how huge was Mi Reflejo in latin america. I thought she could slay this time againAgugaga wrote: ↑Tue Nov 16, 2021 12:47 am I don’t understand why anyone thought Christina would be commercially successful by releasing Spanish music? She cant even do that with English music and that’s a much bigger market. Y’all need to just enjoy the music and visuals and shut the hell up about numbers. That ship sailed years ago.
3 back to back diamond albums in the USA and Canada (some of them going double diamond) and then she goes only Platinum in Canada and not even gold in the USA. I know sales dried up but she basically just waited too long to expect anyone to truly anticipate a comeback.
We may be witnessing something similar here and at this point I'm over it. The only reason I want her stuff to be successful is so she doesn't abandon it like she literally does to every flop album. If she's happy to go through with all her Spanish releases despite no widespread acknowledgement I have no issues there. Unfortunately Christina is a creature of habit and I don't think she goes through with her 3 EP plan if this first one fails.
