'Champion' definitely does sound like the highlight, looking forward to hearing it in full very much! :wub:

To be fair, as an album it does sound a hell of a lot better than the two previous atrocities.

 

Some of the ballads towards the end are ultra whiny though.

There was nothing wrong with the first album - it included some really decent tracks and was far from being an atrocity. The second album was a bit patchy. I do like the sound of the new album though.

13. Your love keeps lifting me higher and higher

16. Nasty featuring The Vamps

The album is at #754 on pre-orders. I hope it can scrape the top 10

'Lay Me Down' is 563 on POP iTunes :(. I can't believe that 'Lay Me Down' is going to miss the top 40. It's such an amazing track. The Album is also #948 on iTunes.

I don't think it will miss the top 40. Could do something along the lines of Sirems

I certainly can't see it making the top 40 now, and it is a shame. :(

surely Pixie has enough of a fanbase to reach the top 40 (regardless of how the badly the pre-order has done)? :lol:

Exactly! Surely if Nasty could go #9, this can certainly go top 40

Hopefully she has a lot of promotion this week to scrape top 40 and help the album

Go top 100 on pre-orders!

Already dropping away :( Guessing that most fans are holding out for the album rather than spend money on the single. Just want a top 10 album to make the era not look like much of flop that it is

 

On the bright side, the album is slaying on amazon pre-orders :P

 

#287

 

Itunes - #951

 

She is filming something with SBTV, maybe an advert?

I'm going to Pixies album signing next Thursday in Glasgow *.*. If I get a photo with her I think I will die.

You can download 'Heart Cry' for free on Amazon in HQ with artwork.

 

AMAZING.

Looking forward to hearing the new album next week.

Awaiting the impending 'delay'. (Surely there has to be one with how abysmally 'Lay Me Down' is performing...)

They can't cancel a release the week before it! Even Stooshe weren't that late when they cancelled.

That's what I was thinking. But then I seem to remember Amelia Lily's album had been pressed and ready for release (and she had signed hundreds of copies) only for the label to cancel it.

 

I highly doubt Pixie's will be pulled at this stage though.

 

What a mess. I can't say I didn't see a flop coming - I thought at the time that 'Nasty' and everything about its marketing and promotional campaign was possibly the worst attempt at a comeback/lead single I'd ever seen. However, considering that her fanbase ensured it got a decent peak, I thought 'Lay Me Down' being far superior would at least go top 40 and garner some interest in the album. At this rate it's looking like it will do worse than Cher Lloyd's album :drama:.

I think Amelia Lily's was pulled because Party Over barely made top 40 (unsurprisingly, awful song) but I'm sure it was due for release after another single, not the week after! They definitely can't cancel at this stage, I just think the album will be like #28 at best which even when it's not an awful sales climate really isn't great :/

 

I don't get how Nasty managed top 10 but Lay Me Down is bombing so much! I mean Lay Me Down is hardly a modern classic or anything but Nasty had almost universally negative reception, clearly it was so bad that the fanbase just disintegrated, although Nasty had a bit of airplay I guess...

There wouldn't be any point in delaying/cancelling. The damage has been done and it's highly unlikely she'll get another hit single. They may as well generate a bit of extra money through releasing the album.
