Solange predicted to sell less than 10K?

Sandra Rose August 27, 2008

Hits Daily Double which normally posts close to accurate first-day sales of albums sold in U.S. markets, didn’t even mention Solange Knowles’ CD which went on sale yesterday. This does not bode well for Solange who is probably looking at around 10K in first week sales.

The first-day sales are usually an indicator of how well an album does it’s first week out. After reading the comments I have to agree that Solo should have held checked herself instead of checking that anchor woman today. She really showed her true colors and that’s a shame because she was doing so well.

If that’s true, then I feel bad 4 her. I was rooting 4 her success

I don’t blame her for forcefully stepping out of her sisters shadow. I mean, it is aggrevating to constantly being compared to Bey and now that she is married to Jay that has to be really intimidating as well. She wants to stand on her on two feet and make a way for herself on her on. Therefore, she was right to check that anchor woman because they are always trying to sneak little comments in.

I purchased her cd and it’s different and I really love it. It’s artistic, creative and she had enough courage to make music that she wanted to and not worry about a particular image or genre. GO SOLANGE!!!!!!!!!1

shit, that sux… HOWEVER, I Decided WAS NOT a smash hit, I think they just threw it out there, she needed another single and some talk show appearances..

IN ALL REALITY…BEYONCE IS JUST TOO BIG FOR HER. LET’S BE HONEST…NOBODY REALLY CARES ABOUT HER, THEY JUST WANT BEY. I THINK THAT’S WHY SHE IS SO SENSITIVE REGARDING THAT MATTER. I LIKE TO LOOK AT WHAT SHE IS WEARING, BUT I CHOOSE BEY’S IMAGE/MUSIC OVER HER ANY DAY…TRUTHBETOLD.

Maybe she was drunk or high, and yes she shouldnt have checked her but she needed to keep it real and she DOES not want to be associated with BEYONCE, and you cannot hate her for that, the reason her album wouldnt sell to well is because she doesnt get much promotion and radio play because lets be real not many people want to hear 60s pop R&B its true, but at the end of the day she has to be real and true to herself, like dallas austin told monica, she has to be real and true and if the record sales dont come in, oh well shes living the dream that she has wanted for herself and thats all that matters. With Beyonce and Her Brother and law and mom shes set for LIFE so does it matter?
truthbetold

MAN, HER VIDEO IS ON TMZ, AND THE WHITE FOLKS ARE MAD AND HATE HER GUTS!!!…SHE IS DONE…PUT A FORK IN THAT ALBUM..YOU NEED WHITE FOLKS TO BE ON YOUR SIDE NOWADAYS, AND SHE JUST MESSED EVERYTHING UP…HOW STUPID!!!

I BLAME IT ON THE LEAKS !!!!

being associated with her sibling isn’t what’s hindering record sells. Hmph, it never stopped Janet Jackson.

Music track leaks are staged; they are intentional. Record companies have been using this tactic as a viral marketing strategy. So, her low record sales are not do to leaks either. Music leaks are used to build suspense around an album release.

whoops, that response was to #8, not what i pasted.

I didn’t complain about Monica, Tiny or Rihanna overload, but I simply can’t take Solange being shoved down my throat.
LADYTEA

It’s like Solange is trying so hard to be out~spoken, on live T.V you try to put to anchor woman on front street, she had no idea what Solo was talking about, then someone said in her earpiece that what was said wasn’t being aired at the time.. calm down! looking stupid in the end.. I wanted her to have a chance, but this I don’t take no crap attitude probably wont work in her favor…
lexdiamonz

umm the record aint selling cuz the chick can’t sing even all the “blog” overload and trying to be so “different” only works if you have the talent to back it we have one knowles please dont shove another one down our throat……….PLEASE
chat bout

solange said nothing wrong. she was there to talk about her music and maybe answer a few questions about herself.why were they trying to put her on the spot about jay-z off air or not?

Maybe she should market herself overseas? She may have better luck

On a side note – what’s up with that manly chin?

It’s another way of going double cement (not my words, but I think it was Kym’s lmao!)

Lol, in EVERY interview they going to ask about Beyonce’ and Jigga.I mean nobody cares for her duh, and that’s why they do it.When in a interview it’s been completely about her?None.

Just seen ole girl on some morning show…she did good

DAMN THIS IS THE SAME NEWSANCHOR THAT GOT INTO A FIST FIGHT OFF CAMERA A WHILE BACK WHEN SHE WAS WORKING AT WXYZ IN DETROIT WITH MORNING ANCHOR CAROLYN CLIFFORD

The scrap drew blood and required co-anchor Erik Smith to referee the brief but reportedly energetic bout over a festering personality conflict between the pair.

Only keen morning viewers, who might have noticed that Smith carried on alone during the late morning newscasts, suspected something was amiss. News director Bill Carey said he couldn’t comment on personnel matters.

So who got the decision? Award Clifford a technical knockout. Jackson was placed on indefinite administrative leave.

NOW DATS A HOT GHETTO MESS…SOLANGE LUCKY HER AZZ AINT GO OFF

I dont care what anyone say, I’m feeling Solange like 10x more than Beyonce. She’s prettier, sexier. feistier
The Divine Ms. K

Umm, her “attack” on the anchor is NOT what is keeping her CD from selling – hate to bust the bubble on that theory.

Solange will always be in Beyonce’s shadow. It just is what it is. She will appeal to some, but not a lot. Those are just the dirty raw stats and data of this.

The funniest thing is on another site (I’m not saying it but somebody mentioned it above) throughout the whole story the reference her not by name but as Beyonce sister. Not one time did they say the name solonge. Poor girl now you know how Kelly & Michelle feel.
PAGESINADIARY

10k is good for her but will she do that?
Amulet

A quote from Courtney Love: “Being offended is part of being in the real world.”

Solange should grow up and just examine herself (insecurities) and accept the fact that she has great people in her family that other people dream of. Why not embrace and enjoy ALL of it.
Maxdan

Well I bought the CD. I love the song with Bilal and i’m upset that she didn’t add “White Picket Dreams”. That’s the song that made me even think to purchase her new stuff. She has matured a lot and trying to sing a little harder but to me her voice is still kind of kiddy. She doesn’t have the full range and big voice like Beyonce’. SORRY Solo
mimi08

IF SHE SELLS 10K I WILL BE STUNNED, CAUSE WHOSE BUYING IT? I CAN’T ENVISION HER MARKET AND WHO WOULD BUY IT…60’S MUSIC, WITH WACK DANCING. SORRY, THIS IS 2008, IF WE WANTED TO HER OLD MUSIC, WE WOULD PULL OUT OUR ALBUMS…LOL

HER VOICE IS NOT UNIQUE, SHE’S NOT CUTE, SHE LOOKS WEIRD, AND THERE ARE MUCH BETTER SINGERS OUT THERE. THE LABEL WASTED THEIR MONEY ON BEYONCE’S SISTER…LOL THAT’S ALL SHE’LL EVER BE IS BEYONCE’S SISTER. ALL THAT PROMOTION, THE LABEL TOOK A BIG HIT HERE. WOW.

@OMINA HOMINA

I CONCUR….JANET JACKSON IS A HUGE SUCCESS, DESPITE HAVING A BROTHER WHO WAS THE BEST SELLING ARTIST OF ALLLLLLLL TIME…TALK ABOUT A CHALLENGE! AND JANET PREVAILED…CAUSE IT’S ABOUT TALENT AND LIKEABILITY….

SOLANGE LOOK LIKE A BIG CHINED GOAT WITH A BAD WIG….I DON’T SEE HER HAVING A LARGE FOLLOWING EVER, NO MATTER WHAT SHE DOES. SHE’S A FAKE, AND WE CAN SEE THROUGH HER. PLUS, WHY DO ALL THE KNOWLES TALK LIKE COUNTRY POOR HICKS?
