4. thank u, next

5. break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored

6. bad idea

7. imagine

8. needy

9. ghostin

After many listens, NASA has overtaken Bad Idea as my second favourite album track and buwygf has grown massively also! in my head is still not getting my attention, but every other track is still getting massively replay raped.

SO consistent now it's bedded in, I'm not sure I quite prefer it to Sweetener but it's comfortably sitting with DW. <3 <3 <3

Bad Idea seems to be on the way to pipping Needy as most streamed album track. Creeped above it in streams over the last couple of days.

Ariana has confirmed that she's recorded a "very special" performance to be shown during the iHeartRadio Awards on 14th March! Any guesses what song(s) she'll perform?! The photos have her sitting down in front of a microphone so I'm guessing it's not 7 Rings unfortunately :(

Maybe 'Ghostin' if it's "very special"?

 

Lmao who am I kidding! :(

Have just listened to 'bad idea' and I'm loving it, this to be the next single pls. (I'm guessing it'll probably be 'bloodline' if anything though - I'm not really so keen on that song, it's fine but not really my thing, sounds a bit like 'Side To Side' which I wasn't a fan of).

 

I've heard nearly every song on this album now so I might as well listen to the last ~3 songs and do a rate of it some time soon xo 'break up...' is comfortably the best on there though unless there's a major surprise among the last few I've not listened to yet, I'm really surprised at how badly it seems to have been received on here??

Has the album been received that badly? I thought it was pretty much universally thought of as being a major step-up from Sweetener.

I was referring to 'break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored'. The first page of its thread on here is almost entirely negative.

Already did my track-by-track ratings on AOTY, in case anyone's curious.

Overall, I didn't like this as much as Sweetener but I still thought this was a solid album.

(Fave Tracks: thank u next, fake smile)

Needy is apparently the next single!! :cheer:

f***'s sake. What about 'Bloodline'?!

 

'Needy' is just a boring album filler. Really disappointed if that's actually true.

Oh Ariana :drama:

'Bloodline' and 'Bad Idea' are the only logical choices?!

WTF hun. U ok?!

 

At least this keeps her current top 10 singles streak? :lol:

 

It's my least fave on the album though! It's so fillery in comparison to the rest :(

 

thank u, next era plz x

bad idea is still my least favourite track from this!

 

Really don’t get the hype for it.

 

bloodline however is THAT BOP :wub:

 

Summer smash please.

 

pleased needy is a single if true were due a ballad single from her it’ll show the albums versatility after three upbeat bangers.
