What you can't take is that your disappointed in Carrie not the numbers. You set expectations too high and got let down. That's what you can't take, so you're mad at the whole genre, which you don't even like anyway. Why do you constantly have to try to prove this point that everyone hates country music just because you do? Also, why does it matter when you, because I'll reiterate again you hate the genre?
First, I don't try to prove that "everyone hates country music", because music is subjective and I respect that. I tried to further point out that the genre is dead when it comes to commercial performance, and I only further commented on a topic that other people here were talking about (did you see my first post today? I quoted a member). I simply joined a conversation about country music's current climate. I didn't simply pop here outta the blue saying it's dead.
Literally all of us are disappointed by the numbers. Not a single one of us anticipated the album doing this poorly. I was told I was way undervaluing her for predicting 70k for the album first week, and she probably won’t even clear that total by the end of the year. They have a point. Country is a dying genre. Pointing out faults with the genre doesn’t mean they hate it.
Thank you, honey.
So, if the whole genre is dead, does it matter how bad Carrie's numbers are? Because they're on par with her peers. Pointing out faults doesn't mean someone hates anything sure, but that poster has said Carrie is literally the only country artist they listen to, so I'd imagine they aren't a fan of country and they do constantly try to run the genre down as dead and dying just because it doesn't stream as much as rap or pop.
Very nice! Hope you enjoy it!
She is also the only country artist I listen to but it doesn’t mean I hate country. The point is we all thought she was above her peers because she always walked the line and country and pop and has mass appeal. I don’t just want to see her do better than her peers, I want to see her do great for herself in general
And she has. She's one of the most well recognized country artists in the world. I'd bet if we asked a non country fan, one that doesn't listen to country at all, and asked them whether they heard of Carrie or Luke Combs, I guarantee most would know Carrie before Luke, or Morgan Wallen, or Miranda Lambert, or whoever. She has done wonderfully for herself. She's just in a different season of her career, doesn't mean she isn't succeeding. Reliance on numbers will eventually lead to disappointment.
Yes, it matters. She was always ahead of curve, she always sold more than any other country artist (except for Taylor). But the industry changed and her labels didn't move a finger to try to make her catch up, so now in the streaming era. when sales don't matter anymore, she's pulling abysmal numbers. The genre is dying and so is her commercial performance.
I hope she does the phone thing again (taking fans' phones and pics with them). I want a new pic with her.
She could. Will be interesting to see what she does for this tour. She's the best in the game.
I just know she'll kill it this tour, she outdoes herself every single tour.
Last tour everybody waved at me, including the DJ who shot a shirt at me, except for Carrie. This will be my year
I just adore her, and love her relationship with her sons and Mike.
lmaaooo! was it the same dj from the storyteller tour? lolLast tour everybody waved at me, including the DJ who shot a shirt at me, except for Carrie. This will be my year
I’m not sure. I didn’t go to that tour.
