Cynthia Erivo’s album debuts at #164 on the Billboard 200

I'm surprised that selling 9,000 in today's market is only good enough for 164.

Sorry. That look is too much

That picture is like a public service poster showing the horrifying effects of anorexia.

I agree, that photo looks like it came from a death metal industrial band from the late 80's.

Who cares what she looks like? She got the voice of a generation, and that’s all that fucking matters.

R5 If this is the "voice of a generation," we might as well hope to get nuked.

Lowkey a hit? #164 is lowkey alright. Still, you'd hope someone off a big hit musical movie could place. I actually don't even know her or Wicked so I'll shut up now.

Cynthia's album is "lowkey a hit" like Madonna is "lowkey an actress."

Considering she's just been in a huge blockbuster film and has been successful in theatre, you'd think she'd be a household name. But she's... not.

Her voice lacks nuance.

She can’t sing. She debuted too high!

I guess a star on Broadway is a piece of chewing gum on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She might as well have been Jim Carey as the Grinch in that movie with all that makeup and playing someone one third her height.

Nah, I'm good.

Just another sign of cultural fragmentation. Being in a hit in one domain certainly does not give assurance of popularity in another. The death of the Star continues apace.

If it was an album of showtunes it would have debuted Top 10.
