Because Miguel!!!11!! How could they not????

...who hasn't had a top 40 since the absolutely shite '#BEAUTIFUL' in 2013 with Mariah Carey - which everyone's probably rightfully forgotten about :')

 

Times like this when I feel like us on Buzzjack could do a far better job than her actual label :lol:

I haven't forgotten about the utterly sublime #Beautiful. x

Her album is a funny animal. Some good songs but I'd assumed it was delayed because they were gonna stick on more tracks like Be The One and Scared to Be Lonely after the success of those... but nope!

 

So far liking Genesis.

 

Just adding in my vote for #Beautiful as a great song too :3 speaking as a non-Mariah fan anyway

I haven't forgotten about the utterly sublime #Beautiful. x

 

Same :lol: It's one of Mariah's best songs :lol:

I don't even like Mariah but can admit that's a damn good song!

I echo everything which has been said about New Rules. Why that wasn't the next single after the success of BTO is just beyond me :/

 

Here's how she's doing on iunes -

 

63. Lost In Your Light (feat. Miguel)

68. Be the One

76. New Rules

 

227. Blow Your Mind (Mwah)

234. Hotter Than Hell

235. Homesick

466. Genesis

512. No Goodbyes

543. IDGAF

586. Bad Together

750. Thinking 'Bout You

939. Last Dance

 

1141. Begging

1398. Dreams

New Rules has to be one of the biggest missed opportunities in recent memory, Lost In Your Light over that?! I guess it could be post album but there's not much point at this point, it would be single 7 !!

Absolutely

I still think she could get another bit, I think the album will do really well and people just seem to be really receptive of her. I think New Rules would be a rare post album hit tbh!

Will give it a few listens next week but the track list reads like an early Greatest Hits Album. :lol:

'New Rules' is in Apple Music's hot songs? :o

The biggest mistake since Foxes not releasing Cruel as the follow up to Body Talk!

I was joking with this exactly. Why they felt the need to release a song with Miguel thinking it would do wonders for her I will never understand.

 

Love this performance! The chorus is alive and her vocals are so goooood <3

She's currently in Miami shooting two music videos. One of them is "My Love", her collaboration with Wale, Major Lazer and WizKid, and the other is presumably to be "New Rules".

it better be.

Ngl, I was pretty underwhelmed on first listen. Nothing stood out to me and the ordering was a complete shambles.

 

I've since re-ordered mine to match the UK standard edition and it works so much better. It's also all growing on me as a complete package - the singles are obviously all incredible but there are other wonderful moments dotted throughout too.

 

Officially excited to be seeing her live later this year and so glad the album is doing decently for her!

 

No shade to LIYL, it's a complete and utter BEAUTY.

Do we think she might get a slot on The X Factor live shows? It'd be the perfect moment for a New Rules performance.

 

I think she'd definitely be able to bag a slot these days. It might be a bit late for New Rules, though. The live shows don't usually start until around October.

Finally got round to listening to this, all the push-backs kinda killed my hype for this at the time but it is actually a really great record. I think the fact that I had heard so much of it before the release put me off a tad too.

 

I forgot how much I really loved the singles too. I have hardly returned to them much myself (apart from the majestic Be The One), but they really are such strong pop songs. This album is packed with such strong pop melodies all round for sure.

 

The album up until 'No Goodbyes' is incredible for me and then it gets a tad more mixed, despite some amazing highlights like 'Garden'. I seem to be on a different wavelength from most though as everyone seems to be stanning for 'New Rules' and 'Begging' when, although they are very strong, they just feel a tad more generic and formulaic for me.
