So the Complete Edition is finally released this Friday! I'm looking forward to hearing the two new songs as I've not listened to any of her unreleased demos.

 

Where do we think it'll chart next week? Streaming should be strong so I imagine it will rebound to the top 10 and hopefully sneak a week in the top 5.

The new songs are decent. Running feels like a good enough album track and obviously Want To is a bop

Hopefully Kiss and Make Up can take off WW, I have a feeling it will do pretty well with a good video and promo

"Kiss And Make Up" has been uploaded on her YouTube channel.

 

'Kiss And Make Up' is amazing.

 

Really hoping this can take off and propel BLACKPINK into the next big thing in the UK :wub:

A potentially decent song ruined by sounding like generic Spotify fodder.

 

This is the kind of route I'm really hoping she doesn't go down for album 2.

I swear “Kiss And Make Up” sounds very similar to another song which goes aye aye aye aye aye

Oh, I am LOOOOOVING Kiss And Make Up :wub:

Kiss and Make Up is such a banger, I hope it's the (presumably final) single :wub:

Kiss and Make Up is GREAT!! Really hope it's pushed as a single :wub:

 

The other new songs are good to - Want To is pretty brilliant (I've been saving it for the re-issue to make it feel more worthwhile :lol:) and Running is a great album-track type song too.

 

A potentially decent song ruined by sounding like generic Spotify fodder.

I don't think it sounds particularly like "generic Spotify fodder", it's just a 2018 pop song. There's plenty of identity and personality to make it stand out on a Spotify playlist I think, yet it slots in brilliantly with current trends.

 

(besides, I think I'd refer to stuff like Ay Caramba / Advice in the top 40 right now as "generic Spotify fodder" instead, the samey rap music that Spotify users seem to adore)

Kiss and Make Up is such a bop

 

Would be nice to see it get a single push!

Kiss and Make Up is the trash bop we needed.

Kiss and Make Up sounds like the 2018 version of a 2009-2012 pop song. I'm bopping tbh

 

(This whole release still seems pointless though)

New edition is number 11 in the updated midweek chart information.

I actually prefer "Running" over "Kiss and Make Up" by far - the latter sounds a lot more 'generic Spotify fodder' whereas the former (and "Want to") are very unique-sounding productions. I'm pleased that it looks like she'll have another hit from the album though - "Kiss and Make Up" is #35 in the midweeks and still climbing the Spotify chart.

 

A shame that the re-release won't be returning the album to the top 10 (yet) though, it's currently #12 in the midweeks dropping from #11 on Monday :(

"Begging" has been remixed by adidas for their Statement collection:

 

So this has actually climbed since the midweeks to #9 officially! I'm pleased with that - I don't think that this album necessarily needed a re-release but it feels nice that they've rounded off the era with all of her huge collabs and hopefully we'll hear something new from DL2 early in 2019!

This is now the most streamed album by a female artist on Spotify and the sixth most streamed album by any artist *_*

Well Done Dua! I guess that's what happens when your album has like 48 singles on it.

13 out of 24 songs were singles overall then right? Combining New Rules (Live) with the original and assuming Kiss and Make Up is the final single

 

New Love, Room for 2, Thinkin' Bout You, and Want To were released as promo singles too bringing it up to 17/24 :kink:

Dua performed "Homesick" at Los 40 Music Awards with Spanish singer Pablo Alborán earlier this week:

 

 

The song remains my least favourite across the entire 'Dua Lipa' double album but I admire that she is still forcing it down people's throats across the world, while she has new music to plug. I think it was a decent performance though and better than her performances of it here this time last year.

 

She also won the International Artist and Album of the Year awards which is impressive - she beat Ed Sheeran in the former category and Camila in the latter (who you'd assume would be more popular due to the common language).
