I wish I didn't hate this guy but fuuuuck me what is this tripe 
Following last year's 'hope for the underrated youth' EP, Yungblud has confirmed his second album will release this year! and the lead single 'Weird!' is out tomorrow.
I've liked everything he's released over the last 2 years, and he's described the new single as inspired by LCD Soundsystem and Depeche Mode so I'm quite excited for it.
Really enjoying this on the first couple of listens, I love the synth-rock direction!
Absolutely LOVING this! I’m a huge fan but this is totally the right direction in regards to it being more accessible and commercial.
I wish I didn't hate this guy but fuuuuck me what is this tripe
I've been listening to this a lot, and I can't not hear 'Give Yourself a Try' in the chorus. 
Not that that's a bad thing though!
Oops I actually like this song
I need to stay away from the music video because his facial expressions still make me die a little inside. But the song itself is actually good stuff, his voice is much less annoying than usual and the instrumental is great. Kinda sounds like what I was hoping The 1975's new song would sound like.
This is growing on me a lot! It's The 1975 but better
So good - a shame it doesn't appear to be doing anything yet.
^^ That’s the thing though he has a huge fan base but can’t seem to turn that into a hit.
I’ve seen him live 7 times now, each show was sold out and when I saw him at the NME awards he was one of the main artists and done a fan meet up afterwards which was crazy. I guess it’s good he’s appeared on Apple but I’d have also thought his target market would be heavily into streaming too.
Anyway mini rant over 
Weird is on R1’s playlist now! cheer:
This is growing on me immensely
Not part of the album of course, but a Yungblud remix of 24kGoldn's 'City of Angels' it out now! Finally taking the song to a respectable length 
Strawberry Lipstick is out on 16th July
Can't wait! Hoping for a punk banger based on the single art
Premiering at 3pm on Radio 1 on Thursday
Out now! Official audio up shortly
What a banger! Hope there's more like this on the album, can't wait for the video.
YES PLEASE
Crikey! A collab with Denzel Curry is out here on Friday at 5am - he's described it as "heavy af"
Unstanning Denzel as we speak
Not liking this at all, it sounds like they've remixed something from a Tim Burton soundtrack
The album is titled 'Weird!' and is now out for pre-order, no release date or tracklist yet though. *and* 'god save me, but don't drown me out' it out now! Sounding fantastic
It's out on November 13th! Tracklisting:
1. Teresa
2. Cotton Candy
3. Strawberry Lipstick
4. Mars
5. Superdeadfriends
6. Love Song
7. god save me, but don't drown me out
8. Ice Cream Man
9. Weird!
10. Charity
11. It's Quiet in Beverly Hills
12. The Freak Show
The cover is a bit too similar to his EP cover last year. They could've tried something else.
And... I kinda don't like that the titles are all (changed to) small letters for some reason. But I didn't mind it on his EP last year or... MGK's Tickets To My Downfall album.
But whatever, YUNGBLUD being YUNGBLUD. I just want some cool tracks from him (which some are ('strawberry lipstick' is a choon), some aren't).
"cotton candy" is out on Friday!
Definitely not my favourite so far, but it's still decent and the bass slaps! Seems to be getting a push on HHUK
Pushed back to December 4th due to production issues with the vinyl
"mars" is out today ahead of the album next week, another really good one! Love the emotion in it as well
How much are we expecting Yungblud to sell? He seems to be a fan base centred artist!
"acting like that" with Machine Gun Kelly is out at midnight - it's not on the 'Weird!' tracklisting but has the album cover so I guess it's just a loose single? Looking forward to it though!
He's such a star. Can't wait for the album!
How much are we expecting the album to do next week? His preorders are likely to be high enough!
Really looking forward to the album but I can’t keep up with all the different versions! Last count there was 20+ different CDs, Cassettes and vinyls plus lots of bundles!
With all them versions he may well do but still can’t see him selling over 30k tbh. Il be impressed if he does though!
It'll Arctic Monkeys as his main competition, but I have no idea what sort of sales to expect for their live album.
Kinda holding out buying a CD as I'm half expecting it to be discounted next week
Anything over 0 sales will be shocking honestly. Imagine spending money on a YUNGBLUD album.
Good one
😂
In fairness he has had so many singles I wouldn’t be surprised if preorders are huge. I still wouldn’t bet against Ball/Boe at this point though!
He's been good to keep up his presence way from the album singles as well. This year outside of the Weird songs there's been:
- City of Angels (Remix) with 24kGoldn
- body bag with Machine Gun Kelly & Bert McCracken
- Lemonade with Denzel Curry
- Obey with Bring Me The Horizon
- acting like that with Machine Gun Kelly
And that Music Week interview mentions more collabs coming after the album, there's been one rumoured of him and Post Malone - that would be massive!
Yeh a Post Malone collab would be huge and interesting to hear!
😂
Banger! Travis Barker is also on drums for this one
The album is amazing - played it several times now and it’s a solid piece of work! Really hope this smashes
Great album but... what purpose is there to using clean versions of songs instead of the originals? God save me but don’t drown me out sounds so odd
Where/what version are you listening to? It's all the original versions for me listening on Spotify
Okay weird (lol). Clicking on the album through the New Releases tab on Spotify takes me to a clean version of the album which I can’t otherwise reach... as going to the album via Yungbluds page or just searching only shows up the explicit one
“Not gonna waste my life, 'cause I've been messed up” is jarring and then most other swears in that song are just blanked out! So strange. My mistake for thinking that was the only version anyway I kinda just figured they’d advertise the normal version
Yeah that's quite strange! Reminds me of the explicit version of BMTH's Ludens only being avaliable on the clean version of the EP
Personalised signed albums now available via Banquet (You just add in the comments whatever you want him to write - I’ve gone for one of my favourite lyrics!).
They are available to order until midnight and he said he’ll be going live tomorrow during his session of signing them all
https://www.banquetrecords.com/yungblud/weird%21-%5Bpersonally-signed%5D/0711800-PS
Announced on his live that he’s midweek #1 as of today’s update 
#1 today with fantastic sales!
28k already, do you think they’ll be front loaded?
I think he will be on around 40k!
Signed CDs available again on Amazon for £6.99
https://www.amazon.co.uk/weird-Amazon-Signed-Exclusive-CD/dp/B08JDTQZ7Y/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3PFUL9KZZON31&dchild=1&keywords=yungblud+cd&qid=1607441438&sprefix=Yung%2Caps%2C232&sr=8-1
Following on from the special edition cassettes all being £4.99 yesterday now all the alternative sleeve CDs are £4.99 until midnight.
Absolutely amazing sales for YB this week especially as debut has ‘only’ shifted 64k in 2.5 years.
I’m still waiting for 2 items I ordered to be dispatched so hopefully if that’s the case for others it will go someway in cushioning the fall next week.
Really don’t know what to expect for week 2 - he’s achieved week 1 off social media and fan power and has had next to zero mainstream promo.
Stunning sales even if I’m not a fan.
He only did 8k the rest of the week so could be a drop this week but 8k would keep him top 20!
Can’t wait to see where this ends up this week, I literally have no idea how it’s going to fare!
Drops from 1-36 today
TOTP performance of 'cotton candy' - and he's on Graham Norton this week!
Acting Like That video:
This is massive! I hope his cover gets an official release, it's stunning
I see we're already trying to start a pandemic on Mars as well then
His cover of Bowie's 'Life On Mars?' with Rick Wakeman and former members of Bowie's band has now been released on streaming!
(and Weird! is set to return to the top 10 this week!)
"parents" has now been tagged on as track 2
