jarrylf Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Prince had albums that sold 12k? When? Let’s leave out his instrumental albums bc that’s not pop Gladys is a gospel singer... not a nostalgic pop actSo again, you don’t plan out a tour knowing a major player won’t follow throughOh but if we have to leave out albums that "aren't pop", then how does that compare to TLC because their album is way more R&B & Hip-Hop than pop (just like both of their last albums)LOFL And this is why you shouldn't comment on Legends doing things, Gladys is a soul singer who releases music in different genres. She has many pop hits, what you're saying would only be worth anything if she ware a Gospel artist at every point in her career.Yet that's what they've done their entire career, & it's what other black artist's with Sickle Cell have done going back to Motown.Gonna check it out then. People hate 3D and i actually enjoy that album so let's see how this goes Yea I too really love 3D, and I like it more than Fanmail, with this album I either like it as much as fanmail or slightly more, but yea the 3 last albums all work together nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarrylf Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Bc a former girl group sensation sold 12k total of their PayPal album Again that'd be really worth a fair shot, if they had the same budget and label push as they did when they were a "sensation", or if even with that being the case they said anywhere that they expected it to be their biggest release or something....but no....soooo yea their doing as well as most other Legendary/iconic independant artists, and acting like they're not is just petty & pointless.
