Sell Not Nothing For Vanessa Carlton’s Sophomore Album
Jim Farber of the New York Daily News profiled some of 2004’s sales disappointments, including Duran Duran and Vanessa Carlton. Though her debut ‘Be Not Nobody’ went platinum in 2002, she was bitten with the sophomore slump on ‘Harmonium’, selling only 107,937 copies to date after a little more than a month in stores.
Damn, that’s a shame. “Harmonium” is a good album.
That sucks!!! That is an amazing album!
I’m surprised white houses didn’t do better. it was a damn catchy song. even catchier than that ordinary day one and… well, her other one.
WOW. That’s bad. I haven’t heard the album but from what I’ve heard, she’s a talented girl.
I dislike Vanessa Carlton. Don’t really no why…she just doesn’t do anything for me. I think her new album didn’t go anywhere because it lacked promotion.
If she had more airplay and promotion, she would have bigger sales by now. I think her record company stopped promotion. Hopefully they won’t make that mistake on the second single. If manufactured music can sell, so can singer-songwriter stuff. All that matters is how much is put into promotion, that’s how much comes out. “San Francisco” is a song that I like on her new album.
