Jorja Smith sells 12k first week

[RennisDeynolds]

Why were people expecting her to sell well in America?
She hasn't really had an American push and is signed to a UK independant label.

I think the internet buzz because she's dope and pretty has ppl confused. These are good numbers. Only just turned 21 too. She's had some big looks (Drake and Kendrick features off her talent but that's it)

12-15k is not good at all, especially in the streaming era. I think people overestimated how popular she is

That Predator song she has is flames, great lounge type of song

 

[Soundbwoy]

surprising to me I saw her live a few weeks ago, they had to change the venue because of the demand and it was a sold out show

 

[Tonbo]

Still haven't listened to this. Something about her is just bland and unappealing to me

 

[Secure Da Bag]

She's gorgeous so she'll get an initial draw. I saw her on the NPR Tiny Desk Concert and I cut if off after a minute of her singing. It was meh. Hopefully that was just a bad day for her.

I legit never heard of this chick before they talked about her on Joe Budden podcast last week

Never heard a song either

 

[Pure Water]

This album is great. I was really gonna pass up on this shyt too.

 

[JoelB]

She should avoid slow paced songs and keep dressing like this

she perfect mane...I was watching that interview she had with the bald chick, her personality dope too ...

*continues double tappin her pics*

Who? I fux with the PBR&B and never heard of this chick although I've seen her pics on Tumblr alot

People think that a lot of YouTube view or social media follows equals record sales and that’s just not true. Maybe she’ll get a slow burn and blow up later

True.

There is a very interesting reality of the sheer amount of people who have little to no real world presence, despite having lots of impressions online.

It's damn near Tinashe 2.0..but at least she had some songs in rotation

So young girls = black and white teens? Are we sure about this?

black, white, asain

im basing this on whos at her shows and her social medias

tbh it also depends on what realms you're in , alot of the times having a hit on the radio doesn't even mean much anymore

not sure why people expect tinashe and jorja to do mega numbers when many people artn doing that, only a few

 

[mortuus est]

I really doubt her fans are Young

they are, look at her shows and social media , they range from 14 to late 20's

she hasn't got the Adele type fan base with a bunch of women that are 20 to 60

 

[duncanthetall]

The album is really good.

The album is legitimately great. Folks come to this forum more for the drama and smileys. It's fukking stupid. Jorja honestly put out my favorite album this year so far. The fact that people are cheering for her failure is beyond wack to me.

nikkas mad lame.

I dunno breh. She's young but I'm in my later 20s as are my female friends who listen to her.
