The argument that these are good numbers because no other R&B singer is doing more than that is a poor one. That's like a kid getting a D and rationalizing that it's a good grade because everyone else in the class did that, or worse. Bad is bad. It doesn't matter if everyone else is doing bad too. Aim higher. Is her team even attempting to make her album a success? Do they have a plan, or are they just gonna dismiss its flopping on everyone else flopping too? Miss me on embracing lower expectations. If everyone is flopping, and the bar is that low, then everyone should be trying to come up with a plan to outdo the average. Refuse to sugarcoat this. Disappointed in Mary's opening numbers. They could have done better than that...
