She moved from 34 to 31 and had 56 increased plays. Baby steps... plus NF increased its audience # from 560,000 I think last week to about 800,000 this week. That's good.
I can't imagine it being a "hit" and, at this rate, would be surprised if the album topped 40,000 opening week.
But we shall see.
NF is far from a hit, and I can almost guarantee that H&T will not have a strong opening week, it might top Harmonium, and that's being optimistic.
But that's not anything to worry about, plenty of lead off singles from albums never do as well as they are expected to. Like, Fergie's first single from her solo album was London Bridges, which wasn't nearly as successfull as "Big Girls Don't Cry", which is her 4th single and has been topping the charts for quite some time.
So, I think the album will gain momentum with another single and music video, and more promotion. Vanessa showing up on Irv's reality show should help generate sales as well.
Give it time.
Harmonium had the potential to be a hit with songs like "Who's To Say" and "Private Radio", but the label made a premature and ill conceived decision to cut off all efforts on the record.
I hope Irv doesn't give up on Vanessa, because this is a strong album with no fillers and there's a lot of potential for money to be made, so why cut off that potential.
