Pop star Halsey has revealed that she is currently unable to release another album due to her label\u2019s disappointment with the commercial performance of her most recent project, The Great Impersonator.<\/p>\n
Speaking with Zane Lowe, the singer shared that despite the record\u2019s achievements, her label expected numbers closer to those of her 2020 release, Manic. \u201cI can\u2019t make an album right now, I\u2019m not allowed to,\u201d Halsey said. \u201cThe Great Impersonator didn\u2019t perform the way they thought it was going to.\u201d<\/p>\n
The artist noted that the album sold 100,000 copies in its first week, a figure she described as significant in today\u2019s music landscape, where streaming dominates and physical sales have sharply declined. \u201cThat\u2019s a pretty big first week,\u201d she said, highlighting the challenge of meeting heightened expectations.<\/p>\n
In addition to album sales, Halsey pointed out that her accompanying tour was the highest-grossing of her career, demonstrating strong demand from fans. However, her team considered the results insufficient compared to the success of earlier albums. \u201cThey want Manic numbers from me,\u201d she explained. \u201cI can\u2019t do that every single time. It should be good enough that I do it once in a while. But it\u2019s not.\u201d<\/p>\n
The comments shed light on the pressure artists face in the industry, where even relatively strong performances can be viewed as failures when measured against past successes. For Halsey, the experience underscores the difficulties of sustaining long-term commercial expectations while maintaining creative momentum.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
