Nowadays her sales are basically preorders from her fanbase, casual listeners won't buy those anymore. Trust Last may behave differently cause of the tie-in tho but I don't think it'll pass onto her following releases. And I agree WINGS had more potential but in my point of view they wasted it with the odd timing regarding the title track... I mean, the short ver came out on YT July 1st, and just now we got a full video which is having less views than Sure shot (which had no tie-in at all). I get that she is doing what she likes with waaay less pressure than before, and probably she won't get back to that anymore, but still it seems like a waste of opportunities which didn't require much from her :/
This aside, I agree with Karen that touring is what matters in the end. She also has huge hits which give her money through karaoke and streaming services, so there must be a balanced income which does not depend on CDs phyiscal sales anymore. Guess that's why her releases always have those cool FC versions now, since the general public doesnt care anymore she is doing these basically for her fanbase.
