She might as well put them out for free, considering how much she's flopped.

Posted by: mr_aly 17th February 2014, 10:42 AM

Or she could make them successful if she releases them as collaborations with other artists (preferably with them as the main act).

Posted by: d__ 17th February 2014, 11:11 AM

I dunno... she did nothing for "Do What U Want"?

Posted by: mr_aly 17th February 2014, 11:37 AM

It went back up to #12, but the song was dead by that point anyway.

Posted by: Hayzayy 17th February 2014, 12:46 PM

Even the queen of features couldn't save the Titanic.

I'd love her to be back on top with a great album. Not sure I'm here for that kind of project though, it's quite scary actually.

Posted by: Jark 17th February 2014, 01:22 PM

Could be a good way to keep herself visible between Say Something smashing and the next proper album. Clearly the public are more here for Restraintina anyway.

Posted by: Hayzayy 17th February 2014, 01:49 PM

The thing is, it's hard enough for her to get attention around her proper album releases, so I fear it's only going to make people less and less interested in new material if she gets one new song out every week.

Posted by: d__ 17th February 2014, 02:49 PM

I mean it didn't work for Biebs.

Posted by: Nick F1 15th October 2014, 06:06 AM

new album or single title

Posted by: Davidson 15th October 2014, 11:11 AM

Fire and Fun is an awful title but I just need some new music so yay

OMG I pray for an actual Britney v. Christina moment.

Battle of the need-drugs-to-cope queens.

Posted by: slowdown73 17th May 2016, 11:50 PM

Sadly, she won't do well with anything now. She's been and had her time and is pretty much overlooked now.

Posted by: Davidson 8th February 2017, 06:38 PM

She just posted an Instagram that she is putting the finishing touches to her album.

I'm so ready for some Christina in my life. Serve me another 'Your Body' plz.

Posted by: Tombo 14th March 2018, 01:29 AM

Some snippers of Masochist leaked yesterday and today a full track has leaked

Posted by: Jack 14th March 2018, 09:07 AM

Apparently the lead single is due to feature Demi Lovato

Posted by: danG 14th March 2018, 10:17 AM

If that's true it could very well contend for 'screechiest song of 2018'.

Posted by: Blond 2.0 14th March 2018, 11:07 PM

The new song Fall in line is so freaking good

Posted by: _jase 14th March 2018, 11:11 PM

LET'S NOT with this Demi rumour. Just...no

Posted by: Blond 2.0 15th March 2018, 02:44 PM

The pink duet is not on the new album

Posted by: Blond 2.0 17th March 2018, 01:54 PM

New album is called : Liberation

Posted by: Blond 2.0 15th April 2018, 11:14 PM

Coming Friday.

Posted by: ubɹǝɯbƆ 29th April 2018, 09:14 PM

Seems like a Demi collab is definitely happening!

(Whether it’s the lead or album track)

Posted by: ubɹǝɯbƆ 29th April 2018, 09:18 PM

In fact, here’s the supposed track list. Bolded is the lead.

Sick of Sitting
Like I Do (ft. Anderson Paak)
Twice
Maria
Masochist
Unless It’s With You
Pipe
Deserve
Right Moves
Accelerate (ft. Ty Dolla $ign & 2 Chainz)
Fall In Line (ft. Demi Lovato)
I Don’t Need It Anymore

Posted by: No Sleeep 29th April 2018, 09:55 PM

YESS OMG!! Finally something's happening, I've been listening to her a lot lately.

I'm a bit disappointed the lead features Ty Dolla $ign and 2 Chainz tbh But I suppose that might help it get her out there again

Posted by: Blond 2.0 30th April 2018, 09:35 PM

Yes finally can't wait to hear Accelerate

Posted by: Theo. 2nd May 2018, 02:15 PM

The single is in fact premiering tomorrow at 1pm BST. Looking forward to hearing what she comes back with, "Your Body" remains a huge tune but I'm not expecting anything as in your face as that.

Posted by: Liаm 2nd May 2018, 02:19 PM

I have no idea what to expect tbh, it's also produced by Kanye West apparently

Posted by: Blond 2.0 2nd May 2018, 11:22 PM

#Xtinaisback is trending

Posted by: Jordan Lee 3rd May 2018, 11:16 AM

Accelerate has leaked on Twitter

Not classic Christina but with the features I can see it doing OK on streaming sites.

It’s a mix of Stripped / Bionic Xtina but it’s not lead single worthy.

Posted by: TomboOnBroadway 3rd May 2018, 12:14 PM

This song and video is a hot mess!

Posted by: blacksquare 3rd May 2018, 12:20 PM

This is so left field for her

Production is incredible and the song is all over the place. I think I love it

Posted by: Liаm 3rd May 2018, 12:38 PM

Wtf was that lmao

Posted by: Midge 3rd May 2018, 12:43 PM

So I think Xtina and Louisa Johnson are on the same wavelength right now.

Posted by: blacksquare 3rd May 2018, 12:45 PM

I genuinely can't stop listening to it - so different for her, so slick. I haven't liked a Christina lead since Dirrty

This is going to be so divisive though and I get people not liking it - the structure is all over the place, melodies aren't really there, it's somehow a laid back racket

Posted by: blacksquare 3rd May 2018, 12:48 PM

Really? This is very 2018

YES is very Liberty X are given a Christina leftover

Posted by: rafik4u 3rd May 2018, 12:48 PM

Awful, next. You can do better Xtina.

Posted by: Theo. 3rd May 2018, 12:48 PM

Mess.

I didn't realise Fergie was re-releasing 'Double Dutchess'.

Posted by: lewistgreen 3rd May 2018, 12:52 PM

Very different for her, but sadly one I'm not feeling at all.

Posted by: TomboOnBroadway 3rd May 2018, 12:54 PM

YES is an incredible pop bop, this is just a weird mess, Jessie J - Wild gone wrong

Posted by: vibe 3rd May 2018, 01:00 PM

I like it , the song is too long tho.

What song is sampled at the end with the ooohs?

Posted by: Liаm 3rd May 2018, 01:00 PM

This sums it up well It's not dated or anything but it just kinda feels like a forced attempt at being all Beyonce self-titled thought out and it comes out as pretentious and really not her.

Posted by: BiLLYx 3rd May 2018, 01:05 PM

I don’t see how it’s pretentious really? I like that Xtina seems to have passion for something now and doesn’t care about dividing opinions.

My only criticism is that I wish it had more Christina!

Posted by: Cremey 3rd May 2018, 01:06 PM

Think I really like this?
Love the production and the 2 Chainz part is 👌🏼

Posted by: Same Ol' Andrew 3rd May 2018, 01:09 PM

What a bop 😫

Posted by: Theo. 3rd May 2018, 01:12 PM

I agree, the song itself isn't terrible - just a little too long - but the visual is so forced and hard to believe it's how a 37-year-old mum of two wants to come across.

Anyway, she's confirmed the title of the album is 'Liberation' and the full tracklist:



1. "Liberation"
2. "Searching for Maria"
3. "Maria"
4. "Sick of Sittin'"
5. "Dreamers"
6. "Fall in Line" (feat. Demi Lovato)
7. "Right Moves" (feat. Keida & Shenseea)
8. "Like I Do"
9. "Deserve"
10. "Twice"
11. "I Don't Need It Anymore" (Interlude)
12. "Accelerate" (feat. Ty Dolla $ign & 2 Chainz)
13. "Pipe"
14. "Masochist"
15. "Unless It's With You"

Out 15th June.

Posted by: Jay ☆ 3rd May 2018, 01:36 PM

My first listen on Spotify had me a bit "wtf", but after the second listen with the video I feel more favourable towards it. I agree it's very left field though, and I'd be amazed if it did anything beyond some first week hype in the US.

I'm liking her newfound minimal make up look! Quite a nice album cover.

Posted by: lewistgreen 3rd May 2018, 01:45 PM

Accelerate cover

Posted by: Asmodeus 3rd May 2018, 02:53 PM

I'm feeling this shish. Slay my ears Queen!

Posted by: Dexton 3rd May 2018, 03:42 PM

What is this mess

Posted by: mdh 3rd May 2018, 03:50 PM

Loving the glitchy and eccentric production, this is considerably better than I was expecting.

All things considered this is a pretty great comeback single

Posted by: Scene 3rd May 2018, 04:28 PM

Loving it atm! I agree with whoever said its her best lead since Dirrty. I'd love it if this is the year she made a triumphant comeback.

Lead single ranking

1. Dirrty
2. Genie In A Bottle
3. Accelerate
4. Ain't No Other Man
5. Not Myself Tonight
6. Keeps Gettin' Better
7. Your Body

Posted by: Selena GoHome 3rd May 2018, 05:44 PM

it's awful. it sounds like fergie's attempts at coming back and trend hopping but put through a xtina blender. xtina always takes things that are roughly happening trendswise, gives them a go but during the process STRIPS it of all subtlety and tact. that's how we got your body (which i love) and not myself tonight - the product of trend-hopping maximalism. if it's not a gay-centred trash anthem it never seems to go well for her, she always needs to make something thats a little tongue in cheek.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 3rd May 2018, 06:02 PM

WHAT. THE. ACTUAL?

This is really nothingy. At this point in her career, I don't want her trying to be cool - just give us a god damn BANGER!

Posted by: blacksquare 3rd May 2018, 06:28 PM

I think the opposite. She has nothing to prove at this point - she's aged out of the machine.

I much prefer when artists realise they're free to experiment when they're past mainstream success. You really can just do what you want (good and bad) and see what happens without that pressure. I wish more would do it.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 3rd May 2018, 06:29 PM

This to me feels like she's trying to prove something. Like, attempting the kind of 'arty' urban a lot of current artists are doing.

Posted by: blacksquare 3rd May 2018, 06:35 PM

It doesn't seem mainstream at all to me - just look at the reaction on here.

This is so different for her - my point was if she wants to try something more 'arty' with 808s then she can. She doesn't have much to lose.

Posted by: Euphorique 3rd May 2018, 06:59 PM

This is quite bad... 6 years for this mess? The video is embarassing too.

Posted by: Nick Jonas 3rd May 2018, 07:24 PM

Flopping in the UK already. Single version is only #81 on iTunes. Album version at #42 but likely only down to preorders of the album.

Posted by: JosephAvery 3rd May 2018, 07:30 PM

Album pre-orders have no impact on the songs chart.

I've only had one play of this so far and it was a total mess. I didn't really have any expectations after the last era was pretty bland beyond a couple of tracks but I had hoped she could at least bring something better I'll stick with it and hope it grows.

Posted by: Klaus 3rd May 2018, 07:32 PM

Gonna be awkward when she discovers Miley’s ‘Doooo It’ video for the first time

Posted by: Blond 2.0 3rd May 2018, 07:37 PM

In love with the song and the video she looks really good and the album cover is so beautiful

Posted by: Atonement 3rd May 2018, 08:08 PM

waiT this is the LEAD single and they didn't even bother to fly 2 Chainz and Ty Dolla in for the video? At least Ty Dolla he made a 5 second appearance in Ashanti's new video, which for some reason also had a much bigger budget than THIS.

Song is kinda lit tho.

edit: it's actually REALLY lit. lemme stream.

Posted by: blacksquare 3rd May 2018, 08:48 PM

What do you expect?

You guys all do too much. It’s 2018. It’s been six years.

Posted by: Nick Jonas 3rd May 2018, 09:11 PM

The single version has been deleted.

Posted by: Jüpiter 3rd May 2018, 09:16 PM

Really like it. 2 Chainz being the feature after featuring on YES as well tho wtf

Posted by: Jordan Lee 4th May 2018, 03:31 AM

I hope this is a campaign again!! Bionic and Lotus well weren’t bad albums by any means for me but the campaigns both ended so prematurely which is why their chart runs were so quick. The interviews sound promising for this so far any UK promo will do for me! Hopefully a top ten peaking album too or Is that too optimistic

Posted by: liamk97 4th May 2018, 12:07 PM

Hard to know what I think about this! I do like the song, although I can see why others have issues with it and I can definitely understand criticisms of the visual and vibe she's trying to go for. I think it would go down better if she was a new artist and we didn't have a discography full of songs that have the Christina stamp we know and love. I agree with blacksquare that it's exciting when artists have passed their mainstream success and are able to experiment a bit more, but I think this might be too much of a change for people to take, idk.

Posted by: TomboOnBroadway 4th May 2018, 12:15 PM

Accelerate has grown on me so much, it deserves to be a hit for her! I guess R1 won't touch it though

Posted by: mdh 4th May 2018, 12:32 PM

This is 100x better than YES.

Posted by: Midge 4th May 2018, 12:42 PM

Oh you...

Posted by: Queef of Peace 4th May 2018, 12:42 PM

Why is music so awful atm?

Worst it's been since the trifecta of SHET of 2013 and when everyone wanted to be Adele. Omg Screech always releases when music is awful. She is drawn to it like a banshee!!!

Posted by: T Boy 4th May 2018, 03:29 PM

Pink released in 2012 and 2017 though. So typical of you to attempt to make any thread one about her though, keep up the obsession.

This is pretty crappy though. The video is cringe and she seems to lack any self awareness. It’s such a shame because she was so untouchable 2002-2007. I was watching videos for Ain’t No Other Man and Candyman yesterday and she really was owning everything back then.

Posted by: Queef of Peace 4th May 2018, 05:07 PM

So Screech's eponymous Screech wasn't released in 2013 then with Whine by Whinealake and When I was Your Adele by Bruno Wannabeadeleonmars?? I joined in 13, soooo

She is harbinger of bad music like a banshee.

But yah this is also awful

Neither Britney nor Christina had the staying power after all. Madonna was right all along even way back then

Posted by: Blond 2.0 4th May 2018, 07:36 PM

I read that every week she'll release a video and Accelerate wasn't the first single it's something just to build hype , anyway I love Accelerate

Posted by: Jordan Lee 4th May 2018, 08:19 PM

The video she posted today ‘Wheres Maria?’ sounded promising. She mentioned that when you start to get comfortable you have to then start again from scratch. Im hoping she’s re establishing herself as a Popstar now especially as she said she wants to show her kids what she does. Please UK promo would just be amazing!

She sounds like she wants this album to be a success and she’s the most confident I’ve seen her since Back to Basics.

Posted by: Asmodeus 4th May 2018, 10:43 PM

Video is so hot it singed my pub fro. Sexual legend!

Posted by: Ryan 7th May 2018, 12:21 AM

ACCELERATE - 10/10

HA!

Posted by: TomboOnBroadway 7th May 2018, 08:51 AM

Accelerate is a bop, I have grown to enjoy it

Posted by: ubɹǝɯbƆ 7th May 2018, 10:26 AM

Lmao I guess it’s a bop

The ‘ooh-ooh-ooh’ parts definitely remind me of Usher’s ‘Burn’.

Posted by: Nick Jonas 8th May 2018, 02:05 PM

#99 in the midweeks.

Posted by: Theo. 8th May 2018, 03:25 PM

"Accelerate" has actually grown on me massively 😬 The chorus is the highlight. Just a shame about the video.

She's confirmed that she will perform "Fall in Line" with Demi at the Billboard Music Awards on 20th May.

Posted by: Jack 8th May 2018, 07:29 PM

I'm guessing 'Fall In Line' will be pushed more than this, probably has a better chance of being a hit.

Posted by: AllieCat17 8th May 2018, 08:17 PM

Looking forward to the Demi x Christina collab most of all right now

Posted by: Ashley 8th May 2018, 11:07 PM

I can't believe how good this is. I feel like if this was by SZA or Kelela or someone trendy, people would be all over it.

Posted by: Atonement 9th May 2018, 07:18 PM

A hit.

Posted by: Blond 2.0 10th May 2018, 08:43 PM

The new song twice is amazing

Posted by: Liаm 11th May 2018, 02:38 AM

Twice is much better than Accelerate, stunning

Posted by: TomboOnBroadway 11th May 2018, 04:31 PM

Twice is dull, I much prefer Accelerate

Posted by: troylovesmusic 12th May 2018, 10:03 AM

I’ve got to say Accelerate has grown the hell on me really like it now but Twice is STUNNING . Sounds like a classic Christina song .

Posted by: Blond 2.0 12th May 2018, 07:38 PM

10 on iTunes queen of ballads

Posted by: Nick Jonas 12th May 2018, 07:46 PM

In which country?

Posted by: Blond 2.0 12th May 2018, 10:08 PM

#10 on the U.S. iTunes pop chart

Posted by: Spiceboy 13th May 2018, 01:30 PM

I love Christina but using #10 on itunes US pop is pushing it a little.

Posted by: dandy* 13th May 2018, 01:37 PM

Accelerate #3 on itunes!!! Twice is #15!

when looking at search results for Christina Aguilera

Posted by: Nick Jonas 13th May 2018, 03:33 PM

!!!

Posted by: Blond 2.0 13th May 2018, 11:19 PM

At least she's charting

Posted by: liamk97 13th May 2018, 11:58 PM

I'm firmly in the love camp with 'Accelerate' now. I've really taken to 'Twice' as well; a gorgeous, emotional piece and I'm liking Christina's more restrained approach in her vocal delivery. She brings out that signature raspiness further into the song but it's still very controlled and it allows me to really feel the emotion of the track, as I sometimes find her tendency to 'oversing' can spoil the mood.

I was a little unsure how the two tracks were meant to be from the same album but, looking at the tracking list and seeing two interludes titled "Liberation" and ""I Don't Need It Anymore", I realise that this is likely an album of two parts.



This seems to be a little try-hard at times. The little glimpses of seeing the words come from her mouth, it comes across much more candidly, but the more monologue type voiceover feels like someone doing a jokey impression of Lana Del Rey. It just feels a little off.

Posted by: Blond 2.0 14th May 2018, 07:43 PM

Fall in line is next can't wait to hear the new version

Posted by: Cqmerqn 14th May 2018, 10:19 PM

Accelerate debuts at #124 in the US this week.

Posted by: Blond 2.0 14th May 2018, 11:12 PM

It was just a buzz single and she'll start the promo soon

Posted by: Nick Jonas 15th May 2018, 06:10 AM

You can’t just demote a flop single to a ‘buzz single’. Anyway, there’s no buzz about this at all.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 15th May 2018, 06:15 AM

'Twice' is way better than 'Accelerate'!

Posted by: Scene 15th May 2018, 12:42 PM

The narration reminds me so much of Kesha in Praying right at the start.

Posted by: Blond 2.0 15th May 2018, 03:05 PM

Fall in line is the official first single

Posted by: Nick Jonas 15th May 2018, 05:21 PM

Until it flops and it’s demoted to third ‘buzz single’

Posted by: Cqmerqn 15th May 2018, 09:55 PM

This is just a buzz album.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 15th May 2018, 10:44 PM

Doesn't that apply to the last few as well?

Posted by: Jonjo 15th May 2018, 11:13 PM

'Lotus' yes, 'Bionic' no. 'Bionic' was certified Wood last week

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 7th June 2018, 06:04 AM

Probably only by a few places.

(If you're talking about the UK).

Posted by: Jordan Lee 7th June 2018, 11:00 AM

Sorry! Yes I did mean UK wise I may be optimistic here but last weeks #10 album sold 7K. But this is her first album in six years and streaming will probably be mean she’ll enter lower combined but than just her sales only position. I just hope we get UK promo and it’s not just US promo as This will easily be her best album since 2006 for me.

Posted by: Blond 2.0 7th June 2018, 05:56 PM

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 9th June 2018, 12:32 AM

'Like I Do' is boring. I still only really like 'Twice' so far.

Posted by: ebae 9th June 2018, 07:30 AM

I quite like Like I Do, it is one of the best tracks from the era thus far for me

Posted by: Jack 9th June 2018, 02:32 PM

This is all so underwhelming so far. At least 'Lotus' had a few bops.

This is gonna flop so bad - I think her management will push for a tour to try and get money back.

Posted by: Nick Jonas 9th June 2018, 02:39 PM

The tour was announced about a month ago wasn’t it?

Posted by: Jack 9th June 2018, 02:52 PM

Oh was it?! I've always wanted to see her live tbh.

Posted by: Blond 2.0 10th June 2018, 06:28 PM

This and Accelerate I can't believe in few days we'll have finally a new album from Christina

Posted by: troylovesmusic 10th June 2018, 06:49 PM

I’ve personally liked everything I’ve heard so far tbh.

Posted by: ...ready for it 11th June 2018, 05:21 AM

Same. I'm hoping there are other songs on the album that I'll like.

Posted by: Jordan Lee 14th June 2018, 04:53 PM

So excited for this to come out at midnight!

Posted by: Blond 2.0 14th June 2018, 06:32 PM

The album is really good can't stop listening

Posted by: Jordan Lee 15th June 2018, 12:06 AM

1/2 Unless It's With You / Maria (can't decide between these)
3. Fall In Line
4. Masochist
5. Twice
6. Deserve
7. Pipe
8. Like I Do
9. Accelerate
10. Right Moves
11. Sick of Sittin'

My initial rate of the album off one listen! It will probably change over the coming week but Maria, Unless Its With You and Masochist where the clear standouts for me from the non single/promo-singles.

Anyways I always love Xtina's album intro's and interludes she really is queen of those. I feel this is like her least 'signature' Xtina album however. There's no like HUGE vocal moment it's quite stripped back which I sort of like in a way. I feel a bit like when I first heard Leona's I Am with this actually they have a similar kind of vibe.

Short album for her too but I do think the quality is quite high and there's no bad tracks just some I connected with less.

So in short it's quite low-key and different to what I expected but it does have it's moments and I can appreciate that it's different.

7/10 for me based off one listen!


Come on Xtina and us Fighters lets get Liberation to chart higher than Lotus.

Is there really no interest in this at all?

Posted by: Jack 16th June 2018, 04:07 PM

No. All of the songs just sound so uninteresting.

Posted by: ___∆___ 16th June 2018, 04:11 PM

The public are as interested in this as Christina is.... not very!

Posted by: Nick Jonas 16th June 2018, 04:29 PM

Don’t think this will chart in the top 10 on Friday. Reckon it will end up around #21 or #22. None of the tracks charted in the top 200 on Spotify yesterday either 🙈

Posted by: gooddelta 16th June 2018, 05:28 PM

It’s a decent album, on par with Lotus probably but that had much higher highs whereas this album is more consistent. But there is no hype and it’s not even being sold in the supermarkets (I couldn’t find it in Asda or Sainsburys at least) which isn’t going to help at all.

Shed have been better to have done a greatest hits tour

Posted by: BiLLYx 16th June 2018, 07:28 PM

I think it’s easily her best record since Stripped but there’s no big ‘pop bangers’ which is why it might be uninteresting to alot of people

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE 16th June 2018, 10:15 PM

I am loving ‘deserve’ though

Posted by: Jordan Lee 16th June 2018, 10:18 PM

Deserve and Maria are now my favorites. Deserve definitely gets better with each listen for me I think it has the most single potential for sure.

Hopefully it can make the top 20 in the UK!

Posted by: slowdown73 17th June 2018, 02:05 PM

Listened to clips on iTunes and wasn’t impressed. Just didn’t grab me. It will be her first album that I don’t buy.

Posted by: bluesunstorm 17th June 2018, 03:44 PM

Same. I just can't get myself interested in it.

Posted by: Jüpiter 17th June 2018, 04:16 PM

Accelerate, Like I Do and Pipe my standouts off the bat

I feel like she wanted to be experimental but threw a few safe ones on too in case people didn't like Accelerate.

Posted by: Bitch 17th June 2018, 05:22 PM

This is actually getting great reviews. Coming foe that grammy nomination?

Posted by: Andrew. 18th June 2018, 02:35 PM

(Excluding interludes)

08 Maria
05 Sick Of Sittin'
11 Fall In Line
04 Right Moves
09 Like I Do
07 Deserve
09 Twice
09 Accelerate
06 Pipe
05 Masochist
05 Unless It's With You

It's not the best album, but she's done way worse Of the tracks we hadn't heard already, I'll keep Maria, Deserve, and maybe Pipe. 'Like I Do' has only just hit me though, what a f***ing song

Posted by: ___∆___ 18th June 2018, 04:58 PM

#8 in the mids - hopefully this means it’s safe for Top 20 so that it can have a 19-163 chart run

Posted by: Nick Jonas 18th June 2018, 05:23 PM

Bit higher than I expected, although this update will include all the pre-orders. Think it’s safe for top 15 now.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 18th June 2018, 06:16 PM

I thought this would chart at about #23 so that's better than I thought.

Posted by: Blond 2.0 19th June 2018, 12:58 AM

A new video is coming soon some people say it's for pipe

Posted by: liamk97 19th June 2018, 06:15 PM

Predicted to sell less than 40k in the US.

Edit. Sorry under 30k 🙈

Posted by: Andrew. 19th June 2018, 07:50 PM

Expected to debut with 73k, exactly the same as Lotus obviously this has the tour bundle but pretty decent I would say given she's had a six year break and the singles haven't exactly set the charts alight. Really is her Emancipation of Mimi *.*

Posted by: Bjork 20th June 2018, 11:14 AM

lol f there's a tour bundle, who knows, probably means it's 5k real sales 70K given away for free with the tickets
definitely 100% not the same as Lotus

Posted by: Blond 2.0 20th June 2018, 03:19 PM

These are good numbers I wasn't expecting this at all LOL

Posted by: Nick Jonas 20th June 2018, 05:54 PM

Down to #12 in the UK midweeks.

Posted by: Tombo 21st June 2018, 03:38 PM

I’m on my first listen through, this is sounding so good!!

Posted by: Nick Jonas 21st June 2018, 08:37 PM

#14 in today’s midweeks.

Posted by: Nick Jonas 22nd June 2018, 05:52 PM

Debuts at #17 with 4834 copies sold.

Posted by: ___∆___ 24th June 2018, 01:18 AM

Can see this easily exiting the Top 75 and possibly Top 100 this week

Posted by: Nick Jonas 24th June 2018, 10:07 AM

Definitely. I heard 2500 of that total was pre orders, so only actually ‘sold’ 2300 copies over 7 days.

Posted by: pippa 25th June 2018, 05:55 PM

This is looking extremely likely based on her number 78 position in today's midweek chart.

Posted by: Blond 2.0 25th June 2018, 08:59 PM

#6 on Billboard

Posted by: vibe 26th June 2018, 05:47 PM

Accelerate deserves much more success . This should have been pushed more !
Will she try again with Maria ?

Posted by: Blond 2.0 26th June 2018, 10:53 PM

Yeah Accelerate is a masterpiece too bad she didn't performed it first instead of Fall in line anyway Pipe is almost everyone fave this song needs a hot video

Posted by: Midge 27th June 2018, 12:13 PM

"Accelerate" is a masterpiece? Now I’ve heard it all

Posted by: Nick Jonas 29th June 2018, 05:34 PM

#95 on this weeks album chart

Posted by: Nick Jonas 4th July 2018, 08:58 AM

Drops to #98 in the US after debuting at #6 last week.

Posted by: Jordan Lee 14th October 2018, 10:45 AM

Deserve really is amazing

The tour looks so good as well really hope it comes to Europe although it seems unlikely

Posted by: Spiceboy 14th October 2018, 08:37 PM

How did this pass me by? May have to see if I can grab a copy.

Christina Scores 2 Grammy Nominations :-
Best Pop/Duo Group: “Fall in Line” feat. Demi Lovato
Rap Sung Collaboration: “Like I Do” feat. Goldlink

Posted by: Theonix 4th March 2019, 10:53 AM

Xtine has announced a UK and Europe tour for summer/autumn! I have no interest in hearing her perform anything from this album but I would love to see her live! Her first UK tour in 12 years!

Posted by: vibe 4th March 2019, 02:50 PM

I am excited for the tour.

i hope the prices are not stupid.

Posted by: Jordan Lee 5th March 2019, 01:47 AM

I literally gasped when I seen this so shocked but I need tickets.

TBH I can see prices being fare. I don’t think demand will be that high tbh well not at Pink/Ariana level.

Wonder if new material will out before the tour. Liberation will be like 18 months old by then.

Good to see some promo outside the US though. I hope it goes well for her

Posted by: vibe 6th March 2019, 02:06 PM

I got two tickets today row 8 block a2 .

Including booking fee this come to £231 pounds .

Posted by: ___∆___ 7th March 2019, 10:19 PM

Got front row in block A4! Nearly passed out when they came up in the pre-sale

Posted by: JosephAvery 7th March 2019, 10:22 PM

Took a few goes in the presale this morning but I managed to nab 2 tickets for London, so excited!!!

Posted by: Jordan Lee 18th June 2019, 01:16 PM

I’m going to Manchester ALONE!

Nervous but excited is anyone else going to that date on here .

I’m from Newcastle but I’ve been spontaneous today and bought myself tickets.

Also Liberation the album is already one year old!! Who’d have thought that. It’s went SO quickly.

Posted by: tommie 18th June 2019, 02:41 PM

LOL, you make it seem so SCANDALOUS!

We all sleep alone aye

Posted by: Jordan Lee 18th June 2019, 05:06 PM

I’m such a please come with me type person but with this nobody seemed even remotely interested in coming with me so I thought im
Just gonna do it! I’m so excited though. I listened to Liberation in full today and I think it’s better than Lotus to be fair.

Deserve remains my favourite.

Posted by: tommie 18th June 2019, 07:25 PM

I actually love going to shows alone because that's when the craziest things tend to happen.

I actually own the physical copy of Lotus but the unowned copy in my folders says "FLOPTUS" and I haven't got the heart to change it.

Posted by: Jordan Lee 18th June 2019, 07:31 PM

Am I right in thinking that Lotus leaked before release? I have a copy of it in my folders and the actual CD.

At the time it came out I was SEETHING that Blank Page wasn’t given single treatment.

I might have to give it a full listen again in the week tbh. I listen to Stripped and Bionic the most.

Posted by: tommie 18th June 2019, 09:45 PM

Yes, Floptus "leaked" before release, like most albums do.

The album bombed on it's own merits though - it's like when Cyndi Lauper released Bring Ya To The Brink - album that deserves success, but since no one is interested, well... Your Body bombed and the album bombed.

Posted by: Jordan Lee 18th June 2019, 11:42 PM

I think promo / lack of public awareness is a huge part of why her last two albums didn’t do too good outside the US.

You could even say the same about Bionic too tbh I know that went to #1 but it’s iconic second week drop / Chart run was probably not what she wanted.

I’m hopeful this tour will ensure she gets back the drive she had for promo with her first three albums whenever X7/ CA7 comes along

Posted by: tommie 19th June 2019, 03:23 AM

*shrug* People tend to compare everyone to Madonna when in all honesty, having her chart run is pretty unique. Most artists aren't like her and Christina's career turned out to be more like Cyndi Laupers. If anything, her albums still going top ten/forty is decent enough.

With that said - she better do Hurt instead of a gospel song.

Posted by: dannjohn 20th June 2019, 08:49 AM

tbh you can't blame promo in the US... i mean i know for the last album she dedicated promo to the Voice only but it still has a large audience and she performed tracks from it like every night

Posted by: Jordan Lee 7th November 2019, 05:45 PM

I listened to this today and it’s definitely a better than Lotus as I said a few months ago it’s much more like album and feels like it’s more natural to her and it’s probably more consistent than Bionic too but with less high highs. This sort of feels like a natural follow up to Stripped it has a a throwback type sound but not a dated one. She deserved so much better with this album!

Unless It’s With You is so lush

Deserve is my favourite but Pipe has really grown too. Did we ever find out who XNDA was it’s strongly rumoured to be Lewis Hamilton but was never confirmed. It’s a really underrated album though I was hoping it might re enter the charts with the UK tour effect but feel Stripped will probably have the biggest effect as that album has all her signature stuff on it minus Genie.

Posted by: SamJudd 7th November 2019, 07:18 PM

Posted by: Jordan Lee 15th June 2020, 03:05 PM

Two years old already!!

This album is still kinda fresh sounding whilst throwback sounding at the same time for me. I love her voice too id say it’s perhaps her most underproduced album in terms of her vocals.

The album still kinda flows really well. I don’t think it has major standouts the way her other eras do but it doesn’t have much major lows either. I keep thinking this would’ve really worked as a Stripped follow up

Anyone yet to rediscover this album Id definitely suggest a listen to this! Nina it’s a shame you feel that way I do kinda get where you’re coming from but I’d say one strength Xtina has is that she’s quite versatile and if you listen to her albums none are really similar to one another so whilst you may not like the sound from one era another one may be more for you. For me this is definitely better than Lotus and I’d also say it’s more cohesive than Bionic although like I said previously it lacks major highs but it doesn’t have any lows it’s like solid throughout.

Posted by: Slick 15th June 2020, 03:19 PM

I'm not a huge fan of this album, however I got to see her live in New York (!!!) when she was touring this, so it will always hold special memories for me.

My faves are 'Sick of Sittin', 'Deserve', 'Twice' and 'Unless It's With You'. Her voices SHINES on a ballad.

Posted by: LJ JORD 7 29th July 2020, 04:28 PM

Lewis Hamilton has confirmed that he was XNDA all along on Pipe from this album.

Posted by: Andrew. 29th July 2020, 04:51 PM

We been knew! Pipe is such a gorgeous and smooth R&B track though, one of my favs <3

Posted by: Nick Jonas 29th July 2020, 08:28 PM

Pipe is #98 on UK iTunes.

Posted by: Alberto! 11th November 2020, 03:14 AM

According to the LA Times, Christina has parted ways with longtime manager Irving Azoff and signed with Roc Nation.

Posted by: dannjohn 11th November 2020, 09:56 AM

she has been swaying towards a more r&b side with 'liberation' so i'm not overly surprised.
