At some point with most artists it’s just the passage of time and folks lose interest. It’s been 15 years since they won X Factor and 5 years since their last active year as a group.The equivalent for the Spice Girls would be if they released their debut albums between October 2011 and February 2012.They probably all could have released their albums earlier but they were trying to get hits.

Should beat the latter but quite a bit below the former.The album is only 9 tracks which doesn't help in this streaming-dominated world. I don't see a huge amount of variants either and they're all priced full price/no sales etc. The album is quite good so I hope it has legs and sticks around a bit!Silk Sonic wasn't really true Bruno so that makes sense but I genuinely thought he'd do 25-35k easy especially with high profile features / single that's streamed well. It feels like he's been everywhere.

Little Mix still feel fresh because no new girl groups have taken their place, that whole pop star system just doesn’t exist anymore.

Yeah there's the odd megastar kids can still follow, but wasn't the whole world of pop just so wonderful? I thumb through my old issues of Smash Hits and wonder where it all went.
