New Studio Album - Forever

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm really happy to see it. I just also wanted to provide some context.

Totally get it and you're not wrong. I'm just ready to celebrate this band's successes.

most of the people that watch the show forget about the contestants they are so in love with soon after the show ends. They are definitely not going to care about some old guy walking out in white high tops, struggling to sing what is basically a pretty bland song for all intents and purposes.

I don't want people hearing a bland song like Legendary, especially if it's their first exposure to the band.

Yeah it's hard to call success on 60 thousand daily views for a worldwide stadium band's new first single. That's bottom tier streaming, where like not even 1% of fanbase is actually streaming it.

Right, but bland to you isn't bland to all. Why is it up to any of us to care to that point?

I didn't call it successful. I never said those words. I said it was a success they doubled their daily numbers. It's just nice to see. Didn't say it was a hit, didn't say it was a hit compared to other musical acts that people are so obsessed to compare them to.

you said we should celebrate it, when it actually is probably doing more harm than good, imo.

But it is bland to most, why should we neglect it completely because few of you like it? I respect that you like it, I envy a bit cause I tried hard. It's better feeling to like than to dislike, for sure.

All in all, it cannot be objectively classified as successful single if it has less daily views than non-singles from album released 37 years ago, for example. So the fanbase is not clicking with it.

For contemporary popular acts, it's normal to have most daily views on new singles, and this is fair approximation of popularity. Example given, Dua Lipa has more than million streams on every new single daily, while Billie Eilish has 8 million daily streams of latest single.

Jovi has million on Prayer, as it's a classic. New single should at least try and get to, I don't know, half? But to be even more conservative, 25%? 60 thousand, after major bump from American Idol, is less than local hot acts in Sayreville

Celebrate doubling their numbers, not the numbers they have.

Does more harm? What are you even saying? It's a message board with a few hundred people.
