She has a lot of passion to release music so hopefully we will continue to get music!

Bebe won’t give up. Her career was built on failures and not following the mold. Bebe won’t stop. She never have and never will. She still believe in this album. And Bebe still will push. ❤️💯

I think/hope she could have a fanbase like Tove/Carly in the future but even they managed to chart :(.

 

She really needed to have been touring over the past few years to start building up a fanbase for herself, it's kept Carly and Tove afloat when their album sales haven't been great.

 

I wasn't expecting this album to do much but it's still really disappointing to see as it's probably the best pop album of the year.

 

Yeah I don't think she's got anywhere near as much of a Carly/Tove type of following. Such a shame as she's just as talented as both of those.

Yeah I don't know why she's only doing six European dates, she needs to tour way more than that to keep a fanbase going.

 

I think if she continues to release music she loves, she could over time grow a fanbase but it'll be hard work.

I often wonder how people like Bebe sustain a living given that you evidently don't make much money from releasing music these days and most of your revenue comes from touring.

The issue is that you need to build a fanbase to tour ok venues - people like Robyn, Tove Lo, Carly etc. spent a lot of time doing every little dive bar that would have them until they could expand to doing their own tours. She's had such sporadic success in Europe + nobody really knows how she is as a live act (I'm Blue isn't exactly the song to sell a tour on!), so they might've felt she couldn't do more than six dates.

I feel acts like Tove, Carly and Robyn have also cultivated their artistry and honed their craft a lot moreso than Bebe has. Like, they all have an identity and Bebe is kind of an anonymous singer comparatively.

This is actually a really strong album, definitely surpassed my expectations and it's a shame it's got such little attention.

 

Better Mistakes had some great songs but this is so much more cohesive and consistent - my favourites from the new songs are Miracle Man, Visions, I'm Not High I'm In Love and I Am :wub:

I see what you did there ;)

So the album actually has zero skips. Shame she’s so underrated really :

:(

#132 on Billboard with 10k sold - her last album charted at #140.

 

surely Warner are going to drop her after this :o

How many units did Better Mistakes sell to make #140?

surely Warner are going to drop her after this :o

Yeah I'm pretty sure she will go independent after this tbh.

Real shame this has performed so badly. Such a surprise hit for me. Getting Snoop on Satellite was absolute genius.

This album in full is actually really good! I'm impressed.

I think I preferred the last one but this is still good, didn't deserve not to chart :(

What's everyone's favourite songs?

 

Satellite, Call On Me, Visions (Don't Go) and Miracle Man plus the singles for me!

I pretty much consider 'Call On Me' and 'Satellite' singles now (and I haven't been able to take my ears off 'Call On Me' these last few days :heart: )

 

I rather adore 'I'm Not in Love, I'm High'. That's a definite big highlight for me.

We already knew the album wasn't in the Top 100 midweeks but I had been wondering if it might have at least made the Top 200 on Friday - but unfortunately it didn't! :cry:
