Joshua Bassett of HSM: The Series fame is set to release a new single on Thursday titled Lie Lie Lie, he's Olivia Rodrigo's ex so there's a lot of interest in him at the moment with Drivers Licence rumoured to be about him. I can see this doing pretty well
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 13th January 2021, 11:58 PM
Preview is sounding good! Out at 11pm UK time

Been waiting for this for ages so I’m HYPED 
Posted by: TalkAboutWall 14th January 2021, 01:29 AM
I can see it having good debut numbers due to interest as I can see a lot of people thinking it’s about Olivia but will be surprised if he manages to overtake her anywhere as her numbers are just huge

Oh its miley, demi, selena & the jonas brothers love triangle all over again
Posted by: tommie 14th January 2021, 12:10 PM
Oh yeah these releases and "rumors" don't seem orchestrated at all by the record company
Posted by: Iceman501 14th January 2021, 01:20 PM
So is this the 2021 Eamon/Frankee chart spat roles reversed?
Posted by: Bré 14th January 2021, 01:24 PM
Well obviously? That is kind of their job?
Apparently the Joshua song actually dates back to 2019 and has nothing to do with Olivia, but it's definitely been timed on purpose to thrive off the rumours.

This is v. Shawn Mendes, low-key a bop
Feel like this will do very well first week and it sounds like a hit too, I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up debuting at 2!
self-titled EP available to pre save now too!

This is trash
Posted by: Calum 15th January 2021, 12:38 AM
This is SO GOOD 
That Insta story from earlier today though saying it's a song he wrote about a 'friend' that lied about him behind his back etc, but the lyrics being 'darling' etc 
Posted by: Golden Maknae 15th January 2021, 03:32 AM
Why does this feel like Ed Sheeran’s “Don’t” if it was released after Ellie released “On My Mind”

the song was wrote back in 2019 apparently, i think this was just released for everyone to suspect it's about olivia when in reality it's not but the title will be enough to get him a good amount of streams.
Posted by: Calum 15th January 2021, 11:19 AM
Yeah definitely, with the song being written back then it’s obviously not about Olivia but I’m not buying that story either about his friend 
Posted by: Iceman501 18th January 2021, 11:53 PM
Why Why Why
Was it needed?
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 22nd January 2021, 11:34 PM
A self-titled EP is out on March 12th:
1. Sorry
2. Do It All Again
3. Lie Lie Lie
4. Only a Matter of Time
5. We Both Know (feat. Sabrina Carpenter)
6. Heaven is You
Posted by: TalkAboutWall 22nd January 2021, 11:36 PM
Oh ffs
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 22nd January 2021, 11:36 PM
They know what they're doing with that Sabrina collab
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 27th January 2021, 06:16 PM
"Only a Matter of Time" is out tomorrow
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 28th January 2021, 04:31 PM
It's out at 11pm GMT tonight
Posted by: Calum 28th January 2021, 04:43 PM
Surprised they’re not pushing the Sabrina collab to be honest, but I’m glad they aren’t too cause they just need to let them all be and stop this forced drama that people so stupidly buy into too.
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 30th January 2021, 11:49 AM
Much prefer this one to Lie Lie Lie, should have been the first single!
Posted by: Jamie Barkley 30th January 2021, 12:02 PM
I had no idea the poor guy was seriously ill in hospital a few weeks ago and didn't get to promote Lie Lie Lie because of it!
Posted by: Bjork 30th January 2021, 01:55 PM
then why release it?
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 30th January 2021, 02:00 PM
Because drivers license had just released lol
Posted by: JosephStyles 30th January 2021, 02:01 PM
He literally went into hospital on release day
Posted by: Calum 30th January 2021, 02:02 PM
If only he was able to predict the future x
Posted by: Bjork 30th January 2021, 02:12 PM
zh ok I thought you meant he was in hospital and the label released it anyway
Posted by: Jamie Barkley 30th January 2021, 11:12 PM
It's not a particularly great song but it is a bit of a shame to see Olivia and Sabrina getting Top 40 hits out of this whilst he gets one week at #98. Still, I suppose he's been painted as the "villain" of the piece so there's probably not as much of the wider interest for him. I've seen some very nasty things being said about him.
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 4th February 2021, 05:57 PM
The Sabrina collab will be releasing on March 5th, one week before the full EP
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 21st February 2021, 11:53 AM
"We Both Know" w/ Sabrina has been removed from the EP, and replaced with "Telling Myself"...
Posted by: TalkAboutWall 21st February 2021, 12:14 PM
oh interesting 
We both know even had a radio add date didn't it? I wonder why it's been pulled it would have probably got him his first billboard hot 100 hit.

Posted by: tommie 22nd February 2021, 08:03 AM
I'm guessing that this whole "rivalry" with Olivia haven't gotten the reception that they've wished for and either one or both of their management pulled the plug to avoid bad publicity/backlash.
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 12th March 2021, 07:44 PM
The EP is out today to little hype! But the Sabrina collab has leaked (of course )
Posted by: Calum 11th May 2021, 06:39 AM
Joshua has come out 
And has now shot it down by saying he’s not queer 
Posted by: dannjohn 12th May 2021, 10:30 AM
he sorta came out, then his rep denied it then he wrote a "i'm here for you" speech... so noone really knows what his sexual preference is.
Seems like it might be the Harry Styles style of promo where they tickle the LGBT+ community a little to draw them in but never actually do anything particularly vocalise about LGBT+ rights besides hold a few flags at a concert.

Gaybaiting now that the fake relationship drama and "love triangle" didn't make his music sell?
Well, I'd never...
Posted by: dannjohn 13th May 2021, 08:54 AM
its so see through isnt it?
Posted by: Ho-Lee Smokes 3rd December 2021, 06:38 PM
he released an EP that is apparently all about Olivia, 'Crisis' is very good but yeh it's not doing anything on Apple Music etc
Posted by: Ho-Lee Smokes 23rd February 2022, 12:47 PM
he's releasing a new song on friday called doppelganger and the girl in the video looks like olivia, damn he's really trying.
