fake smile and makeup are such underrated tunes! I think they could be my 2n and 3rd faves from the album behind 7 rings

Just imagine if the 3 track rule never existed!

 

Every track on this would’ve been a top 40 hit :lol:

I wish the 3-track rule could've been waived just this once :kink: I liked that 'Breathin' and 'Sweetener' got the album week impact for 'Sweetener', but 'needy' was a disappointing cherry-pick choice for me when it came to this era, especially when 'Bloodline' failed to oust it so it hung on for an extra week!

needy costing bloodline is one of the biggest chart injustices of this 3 track rule era!

 

ugh.

A moment

Needy is the best album track, bye

It's better than 'make up' I'll give it that

Needy is the best album track, bye

I actually agree with you

I'm still obsessed with NASA, but it could just be me enjoying my own company. :lol:

 

It also was robbed of great chart position if it wasn't for the 3-track rule. <_<

'NASA' really is incredible, an ultimate highlight from tour was the crowd chanting 'N-A-S-A' back at Ariana each time!! Chills :wub:

A year since the official top 10 domination *.* (thanks to Gezza in the UK Chart forum!)

I just listened to this in full again because there is f all on TV!!

 

needy sounded amazing like the best I’ve heard it tbh. I cast aside a bit I think but I really LOVE IT now.

 

in my head is another one what’s gotten better and better for me too.

 

Such a strong album and I love the no features.

 

It’s crazy to think this album was recorded in such a short space of time. Some Artists spend years making albums what aren’t even a fraction as good as this. It’s one good thing to come out of 2018 being such a naff year for her personally we got THIS album. Had things went well for her personally who knows what might’ve happened. It’s one of those weird things where we as fans got something good from something not so good if that makes sense.

 

I also seen this is still inside the UK Top 100 too and it’s never left that since it’s release :)

Yes I agree that 'in my head' just gets better and better :wub: I wish she performed that live on tour rather than just leaving it as an interlude!

 

I haven't checked the album's chart progress in a little while so thanks for that - hope it continues to stick around in the top 100 for a while :heart:

I keep thinking that had this been like a re release of sweetener and it counted to the overall sales of that album we’d probably have had a chart run like Duas debut what’s top 20 this week and is almost always in the top 40.

 

But with sales of Arianas albums all being split then having singles what aren’t on albums it explains why the album isn’t still in the higher ranks but it’s still done great. I’m hopeful it’ll cling on in the albums mainly as there’s not much else out for a few weeks and she’ll get those streams too. It’s currently on its 60th week in the top 100 and only Dangerous Woman managed more consecutive weeks from its debut. Sweetener dropped out after week 43 then re entered so this had greater staying power.

 

So far it’s had

3x weeks at #1

12x weeks top 10

20x weeks top 20

38x weeks top 40

58x weeks top 75

60x weeks top 100

 

(It’s also went 84-76-71) so two weeks in a row now it’s climbed :)

 

I really wish we got some more singles from this though. ghostin especially I feel missed out but also bloodline too. Tbh I could make cases for every song on this to some extent getting a push even bad idea what isn’t my favourite but I’d definitely imagine that slaying as it’s every other person’s favourite album track from this :lol:

Weeks in top 100 update.

 

With 63 weeks in the UK top 100 albums this is now her third longest charter.

 

It’s overtaken sweetener which spent 62 weeks.

Queen of charity :clap:

I’m glad she never released it tbh. It’s the worst song on the album by a long way :lol:

Yikes I think it’s the best song on the album by a long way

'bad idea' is definitely in my top 3 'thank u, next' album tracks alongside 'ghostin' and 'NASA'. Forever salty about the short singles campaign x

Considerate Queen!!!

 

'Bad Idea' is incredible. So, SO good and would definitely have worked as a single!
