Molanphy looks at the stats and the music and more of "What Do You Mean" plus "Where Are U Now"

Re: the Slate article, it seems clear already that the song is reaching a wider audience than just his fanbase. His fanbase almost certainly turned out in huge numbers in the first week, but the song was still #1 in sales in its second week despite the typical decline, and though it fell in the second week on the Hot 100, it only fell to #3. For comparison, any given One Direction lead single debuts high in the top 3 in the first week due to their fans and then almost completely vacates the top 10 by the second week due to a huge sales decline and no radio support. On that note, "What Do You Mean" is currently top 15 on radio overall less than a month after it's release to any major radio format. So I think it's safe to say "What Do You Mean?" is appealing to more than just his fanbase.

Sounded really great on Fallon. Whoever the sound engineer is for that show should win some kind of award every year.

I've learned to love "What Do You Mean." Nice to know incessant radio play can do this.

v disappointed in this era compared to believe, these songs are so wet
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 27 October 2015 10:35 (eight years ago) link
i dunno what 'wet' means in this context but i agree, they're wet as shit

Enjoying his current grooves, as is Em. Liked the TFI appearance, having hated the video for WDYM. This is fine too.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 27 October 2015 11:24 (eight years ago) link
we've only heard 3 songs and 2/3 are far better than "boyfriend" at least so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
― dyl, Tuesday, 27 October 2015 14:12 (eight years ago) link
"wet" like dipped in formaldehyde and dopey?
― a llove spat over a llama-keeper (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 27 October 2015 14:46 (eight years ago) link
wet is that confusing an adjective? drippy and bland
"boyfriend" is probably his second best ever song
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 27 October 2015 15:11 (eight years ago) link
"what do u mean" is obviously his best single by a mile

where are you now is my least fav
and 'as long as you love me' is as good as any of the new songs
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Wednesday, 28 October 2015 07:06 (eight years ago) link
sounds like Blood is on more than one track? wiki credits for the album have quite a diverse writer-ship... production isn't up there fully yet. interesting to see whether there is cohesiveness or nothttp://www.thefader.com/2015/10/27/bloodpop-justin-bieber-sorry-making-hoverboards

the poor lil rich boy thing seems carefully calibrated to piss off non-fans, especially when the video is him just sorta chilling in immensely beautiful country by himself and complaining

three boring singles out of three so far, and this one is annoying as well
why is he suddenly cool among critics and on social media though, when i repped for "boyfriend" and "as long as you love me" there was none of this
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 3 November 2015 15:29 (eight years ago) link
"Boyfriend" is cool, and so are "Sorry" and "What Do You Mean." No controversy.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 3 November 2015 15:43 (eight years ago) link
i don't mean anyone specific, just what the general consensus seems to be
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 3 November 2015 15:46 (eight years ago) link
why is he suddenly cool among critics and on social media though
because he's entered his "adult" phase

lex is right that it's weird that suddenly everybody's all "I'm into this new Bieber jam" when two years ago they wouldn't have crossed the street to shit on him, like when he was doing Music Mondays
