Omg #101 for The Sea bloody typical cry.gif

I'll never get over The Sea charting at #45 it deserved to be a top 40 at the very minimum!
Mod Edit: Above quote taken from Melanie C's chart topic, I thought it would be better for the 'The Sea' chat to continue in this topic instead, so I've moved the posts!

The Sea deserved so much better, but her marketing team made some horrible decisions. There was no hype for the album. The single choices were all wrong. Had she built momentum towards the album release, it definitely would have gone top 20. This strategy is exactly why her 8th album has done so well.

Imagine

Burn (May)
Think About It (July)
Drown (September)
The Sea album (October)

Burn was the obvious 2nd single from the Sea. She killed Think about it herself by releasing it the same week as the album, tbh it was a miracle it got to #90.

Weak would have been fine as a 3rd single and radio 2 loved it.

Think About It was her big comeback hit and she spent nothing on the music video. Terrible release strategy with the song. I'll never understand it.

The video was more than fine. It was interesting visually.

I love beautiful mind heart.gif The only one I skip sometimes in Drown, I can’t do with her wailing in it sometimes.

Think about it
All about you

What was interesting visually about it? I can't think of anything. It's one of her worst music videos. She is just standing in front of a cheap green screen the entire time.

Unpopular opinion alert, The Sea is somewhat overrated. I can't wrap my head around how so many fans dismiss Version of Me and rank The Sea above it. The Sea might have higher highs than VOM, but overall the latter has better production and is a stronger body of work. Take away the top 4 tracks from The Sea and what's left is very hit or miss.

My favorite songs from the album would be
Drown
Weak
Enemy
Think About It
Burn
All About You

TO ME it was interesting visually. It looked fabulous! wub.gif

And it wasn't a "cheap green screen", FYI. Don't say things without knowing what you are talking about. rolleyes.gif
