Next week, Frank Ocean's "Channel Orange" is expected to make an impressive splash on the charts with sales of 110,000 - 125,000. Now, these numbers are certainly not huge, but the difference is that these numbers come directly from digital sales only - translation: the physical copy of the CD hasn't been released to stores yet.
When compared to the 1st week sales of other artist who already have a built in fan base - like Chris Brown - 110K copies is phenomenal, particularly when CB released both the digital and physical copy of his disc last week.
In other words, Frank's sexual revelation didn't do much to affect his fan base who obviously don't care.
PS: It's a damn good CD. Yes it is.

I might have listened to it, maybe even purchased it. However, now that the fag is out the bag.............. not so much! I won't bring gay or bisexuality into my home! I have kids. When I was a little girl, I understood some people were "different" Or like the old people used to say....you know so and so is "funny". It wasn't in my face every minute and I was allowed to be a child and keep my innocence. Now its sooo crazy. Everybody jumping out the closet. Will somebody shut the damn door! Who cares what ur preference is? Straight people don't go around shouting about being straight. You don't see interviews where we say I'm straight and I'm proud. Or have actors and singers coming out about equality for straight people. Times were better when people kept their private lives private. Your gay? Good for you! Keep it to yourself! Stop trying to shove it down everyones throat! Everyone may not accept you. You can't MAKE everyone accept it. Just be happy with you. You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time.........that is all..
