I really hope Miley Cyrus is going to hit the ground running when her new album drops on Friday.
The record business needs her “Bass Persuades” to be a hit like crazy. Right now, sales are in a deep malaise.
When this week’s numbers are tallied Friday, a new low record may be set for weekly sales.
The number 1 album, Jhené Aiko’s “Westside Whimsy,” is coming in at just 72,000 copies. And most of that is streaming.
A usual number 1 album should hit between 120,000-170,000 copies. “Westside” shiuld be doing better. It has 20 tracks and a lot of them are streaming very well. Aiko, you know, has a great voice but her career is a little low key.
Miley’s last album, “Something Beautiful,” was a non-starter. Her releases run hot and cold. But her lead single from this album is doing pretty well even if it sounds like Madonna birthed it with Lady Gaga. We’ll see tomorrow night if the Bass is Persuasive!
