Hi, I haven't posted much here before but I am a huge Vanessa fan. I just checked the "building album sales chart" on hitsdailydouble.com and after 26% of the sales counted so far, Vanessa has only sold about 8,000 copies. That means, you can expect the total sales for the week to only be somewhere around 30,000 - 35,000. Right now it looks like she won't even debut in the top 40! Somewhere around 41 or 42 it looks like. This is bad. I knew the album would not sell as well as BNN, her sound now is not as radio friendly as it was before, and White Houses is no ATM as far as sparking the interest of general audiences. I had no idea it would be this bad however. Basically, Vanessa's only audience now is the diehard fans.
What do you all think this will mean for Vanessa's career? I know all the fans that have bought the album love it but is that enough? Will the label still allow her to continue or will she be dropped? I love Vanessa's music and this album is so much more creative and mature than BNN. It's a shame that mainstream audience just want boring, safe music and won't take a chance on something like Vanessa. I just feel so bad for her, since she clearly put her heart and soul into this album. Whatever happens though, I will continue to support her and I know all you Nessaholics will too. Hell, if the masses won't support her, we all have to show her we're still behind her.
What does everyone else think?
