The amount of potential singles this album has ('we can't be friends', 'the boy is mine', 'bye', 'eternal sunshine', 'supernatural') — back in the day they would have easily milked them all.

I really hope they do milk the campaign! Ariana did say there would be multiple singles post-'yes, and?' so fingers crossed they stick to that plan.



This stability is so impressive *.* '7 rings' has also re-entered the Global Spotify chart (#124)

Spotify - Day 3

4. we can't be friends (wait for your love)
9. yes, and?
10. bye
15. the boy is mine
18. eternal sunshine
19. supernatural
22. don't wanna break up again
24. i wish i hated you
25. true story
27. intro (end of the world)
29. imperfect for you
47. ordinary things (feat. Nonna)

51. Saturn Returns Interlude

‘yes, and?’ non-moving at #9 is the only track that didn’t climb wub.gif

i’m starting to think that ‘bye’ is going to stay above ‘the boy is mine’ now.

Heads up that the previously sold out vinyl covers #3 and #4 have been restocked on her U.K. store now!

p.s. this continues to globally smash:





Day 4 numbers higher than day 2+3 and not too far off what thank u, next was at this stage ohmy.gif incredible!

My updated rankings would now be

1. we can't be friends (wait for your love) - I think the video and being the next single has really helped this one
2. eternal sunshine
3. bye - I thought this had grew on more than 'eternal sunshine' but I've changed my mind again laugh.gif
4. true story
5. don't wanna break up again - This has been the real grower for me so far
6. the boy is mine
7. ordinary things (feat. Nonna)
8. supernatural
9. yes, and?
10. imperfect for you
11. i wish i hated you

My current ranking now I've reached a double-digit amount of listens to the album (sans intro and interlude as they're hard to compare):



01. we can't be friends (wait for your love)
02. imperfect for you
03. yes, and?
04. i wish i hated you
05. supernatural
06. eternal sunshine
07. the boy is mine
08. true story
09. ordinary things (feat. Nonna)
10. bye
11. don't wanna break up again

I ordered vinyl cover #3 yesterday afternoon! wub.gif I saw a picture online of the actual physical and it looked great to me, somehow better than it comes across as a digital image. I feel like the vibe of this artwork suits the music nicely!

The other day I ordered CD cover #1 & cassette bundle, which looks like it’ll finally be arriving today. cheer.gif

Part 2 of Ariana's interview with Zach Sang is up on YouTube now, where she walks through the creation of the album:

I love the verses of that one, quite addictive melodies, but the chorus isn't quite hitting me as much as the songs I ranked above it. Maybe it still has more room to grow though!

I’d been debating actually saying this but is this possibly as a whole piece her best album?

I’m so impressed by the whole thing and I was quite nervous given yes, and? didn’t hit me (even in context now of it being on the album I’d say it’s the odd one out but it does stand out on the album production wise and I do like it slightly more now even if it’s my personal least favourite)

I think as an album listen it flows so well. Tracklisting order is perfect. I think this is kind of like looking at the best moments across her albums discography and creating an album off that but there’s so much to these songs, those little flourishes and extra touches. The vocals as well the diction! I really don’t think this is just a first week hype talk as i didn’t feel this strongly in regards to positions or even thank u, next but I think Sweetener really now has a rival for the magnum opus of her career heart.gif

My cassette is here heart.gif



QUOTE(JLJ @ Mar 9 2024, 06:01 PM) *
Anyone who has the 4 editions from her store? Are all of the editions different in terms of the album booklet as well or is it just the cover that’s different?

I’ve had to send my order from her store back as it arrived damaged laugh.gif

Sorry for the belated reply (initially saw this post while I wasn't at home) but there are a couple of different booklets across my CD bundle, here are some quick pictures:





So exclusive cover #1 and #4 have the same booklet (the darker one pictured on the right) and cover #2 and #3 have the same (the lighter booklet on the left)

Thanks for those images Jade!!

I’m kind of glad that I chose the exclusive edition 2 now (I did initially opt for 4 but then changed it with 2 now being seen as the main cover on streaming sites and it hugely growing on me. I’m quite glad now as that booklet does look the nicest heart.gif I may well get another edition as well just to have both booklets (I am a bit of a collector geek with things like that). Hoping to get my physical copy soon it typically arrived with a very noticeable crack and I had no cases to replace it with so off it went laugh.gif

Artwork wise aesthetically I like 4 the most, 3 I feel suits the album the most and 2 I feel is the most “artistic”. I’ve kind of really appreciated the different covers now. I’m definitely thankful that what I feel was possibly the original artwork (that “yes and?” close up) has seemingly taken a back seat. I do think she seen the fan reactions there and had a creative think!

No worries!! heart.gif I do love the vinyl cover I chose but do heavily associate the project with the ponytail cover now as well by virtue of seeing it every time I stream the album.

New U.K. exclusive poster bundles have been uploaded to her store now:



Intrigued to see the mids today!

The taste of them putting 'we can't be friends (wait for your love)' straight in the top 10.

U.K. mids are in, this album is only 383 copies away from outselling the first week of positions already!

Wow, that great for the album! Desperately hoping that 'bye' can stay as the 3rd charting track as well...

It seems like Assai Records are the only opportunity for any fans here in the UK to get a signed edition, they have ONE to give away if you buy a copy from them (or just use the link where it says 'no purchase here').

Really enjoying the album, fast becoming my favourite album of hers. It's definitely the most consistent. Although the highs aren't as high as some of her previous albums.

So happy to see the album proving so many people wrong after its first day debut.

My favourite tracks:

"we can't be friends (wait for your love)"
"don't wanna break up again"
"supernatural"
"the boy is mine"
"yes, and?"
