Shawn Mendes

[TheBoss10]

yeah cause he's actually promoting his album this time after playing it dust for months. once again, you can't change an album or add new tracks a month before release. It takes 2 months for them to press vinyls. that is simply not an option with a November release.

This is the digital streaming age, vinyls can be pushed and a vinyl of an album no one is buying is worth next to nothing compared to a vinyl of an album doing numbers. But since you say I'm wrong, why did he delay the release and what is tweaking to force a one month delay?

Reminder:
Shawn album -

• "Why Why Why" peaked at 84 on the Billboard Top 100. Only made 10 Ten in Germany and NZ. 17 in Canada!
• "Nobody Knows" didn't even chart in most nations beyond NZ at 22 and Sk at 136.

Wonder album -

• "Wonder" 18 on billboard and top 10 in at least 5 countries.
• "Monster" thanks to JB was a hit, topped many charts in the top 5 range. 8 on Billboard.
• "Summer of Love" Hung out in the 20s in most countries, 48 in the US.

Shawn has never really been a singles darling on global charts, but he's been down bad since COVID but this was his worst performance to date. Anyone can crack out a #1 album thanks to streaming so he'll be fine on that front unless sales follow his singles down the tubes.

Just adding some data showing how comparably dire the album reception has been compared to his last roll out. He's never pushed an album without at least one top 20 hit. This is why his label is panicking. Don't forget IOUs from his cancelled tour that he likely needs to make up.

Ironically, this is some of his better music, but it is dated and sounds like a popular folk-pop sound of 2012/2013. I think it’s a good direction to go. He still has some work to do, but it’s good that he’s changing it up. It’s how artists stay fresh.

I just don't know how you'd market him nowadays he's gone from cute boy who sings elevator music that soccer mom's like to the neurotic campish guy always making press releases about how he's not gay to a barefoot hippie with dirty feet constantly talking about being free with the " boys" in nature.

Honestly. If I were his agent I'd have given him a James dean make over, an electric guitar and make him go the pop punk rock route, have him get into some fights, falling out of clubs and make him look like an edgy wild child or something rather than the accousitc folk hippie route.

But whatevs, get ya dick out bro

The general public doesn’t buy his hippie stuff though. He’s still serving LL Bean catalog, preppy af.

Loved seeing his nipples hard too in the photoshoot

 

[JustAnotherSteve]

Why doesn’t he collab with Teddy anymore? That’s who he made all his big hits with.

The fact that these two sketchy-looking, less-accomplished, less- famous individuals out of nowhere are now Shawn's best friends forever and also a part of his band and seem to be around Shawn 24/7???

It’s unfortunate Liam Payne died, in honor of Shawn’s friend.. who do you guys think would have won a sing off. Shawn or Liam?

Holy shit. This is how I find out?

This would be clocked as fake and forced just as fast as Camila cabello’s rebrand and it would be horrible. And the acoustic folk hippie route is just who he is and he seems fine with it

It’s not really that weird since both of them are fairly popular producers and songwriters (Mike Moreso than Eddie) who work with a bunch of different people other Shawn. Eddie used to tour and hang with Justin Bieber before shawn

 

[anymanofmine]

Need him on top of or underneath me immediately
