RE: "Listen Up!" Billboard Chart Positions
Every new artist's situation has different and unique challenges. While most new recording artists begin unknown and then watch their fame and fan base grow over time, former Idols have a reverse curve. It's a very challenging task for any of them to grow in the normal new artist fashion. Not sure any of the above comparisons have any relevance to Haley, except for the fact that Adele and Haley are both very talented.
I can't predict with any certainty what will happen in the coming months, to be honest. Some say we should have complete faith in Interscope's intentions, while others think Interscope is just planning to milk Haley's Idol base and then dump her after minimal investment. I tend to be very cynical when it comes to the label, and very optimistic when it comes to Haley. Who's right? Only time will tell.
