Dua Lipa and The Weekend underperforming is one sign the early 2020s are slowly closing.
Don’t get me wrong, both are still very successful artists and are still doing great but Radical Optimism last year didn’t do that well compared to Future Nostalgia which was bigger and even The Weekend’s newer releases and his newer album hasn’t managed to crack a Top 10 yet.
I guess this is a sign that we’re slowly shifting away to newer rising artists of the core 2020s (Chappell, Sabrina, Doechii, Tate Mcrae and the others) but only time will tell.
Even Ice Spice was more of an early 2020s artist but has been flopping hard recently. Her debut album did soo bad.
Now I’m kinda curious what route Doja Cat and Olivia Rodrigo will end up in since they’re both preparing for their album releases this year.
