It seems that “Revival” is on course towards equalling, if not surpassing the sales performance of Selena’s 2013 album.
Her first single from the album titled “Good For You,” which features A$AP Rocky, is the fastest ever to become a platinum seller. It is also Selena’s highest charting single on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching up to No. 5. The single also spent three consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Top 40 radio.
Janice Min, co-president and chief creative officer of Guggenheim Media Entertainment Group, said that they want to highlight the achievement of Selena Gomez who has become a role modl for many, for her being a feminist, and also for being an independent voice whose “Revival” has truly showcased her as a mature artist.
Min added that Selena has broken onto the scene as an adult and come into her own as a really great artist.
Selena Gomez’s “Revival” is a fitting reminder to the medical condition that she has recently gone through which she has kept secret for a long time and only officially made public on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”
Ironically, it was also on the same day of the launching of her album that Selena decided to bare everything about the medical ordeal that she has to hurdled and survived.
