That sounds an reasonable price for a gift for somebody for an Easter present.

 

 

Deluxe edition out 26/6!

I’ve seen whispers of this on Twitter, but a Japanese deluxe version right? So probably no new songs, just repackaged with the likes of ‘MONOPOLY’, I’d love new songs though because it is such a great album :wub:

 

Edit: Ah this speculation has come from the deluxe news being posted from Ariana’s official Japan account, still praying it’s more than just ‘MONOPOLY’ and three random remixes :lol:

The Japanese re-release just includes the 2 Chainz remix of 7 rings and Monopoly, as expected :/ Plus there's a "deluxe" edition with the music videos for the first three singles

 

Need to get around to watching this!

Late but I've finally watched this! I was planning to ahead of the 'thank u, sweet' rate results, to add another layer to commentary, but I didn't have time until tonight. I guess most of 'thank u, next' is still left in that rate anyway :kink: this video was fantastic, Zach really conducted the interview well (big respect to him for taking the hint when it was getting too hard to continue talking about 'ghostin', then swiftly moving on) and it was so informative about the whole thought process behind the record, as you'd hope from the duration of the video. I enjoyed hearing her talk about the title track the most. Definitely worth a watch!

 

also her awkwardness really shone in a good way - "that was way too long of an answer, I need to get media training" :lol: love her so much!

I think just from that and his Little Mix interview, Zach is one of my, if not actual, favourite interviewer. He's brilliant.

Mid-year US chart stats were released yesterday, here is how well the album is doing:

 

2019’s Mid-Year Top 10 Albums

#1 Ariana Grande - thank u, next (1,552,800) :wub:

 

2019’s Mid-Year Top 10 Selling Albums

#7 Ariana Grande, Thank U, Next (228,000)

 

Stream queen.

'in my head' re-entering the UK iTunes chart because of the video. B-)

 

This is how this happened in my head...

 

Vogue: "So Ariana will we get another single from 'thank u, next'?"

Ari: "Nuh, I wanted 'in my head' but my label's not into it."

Vogue: "Well I can do that."

 

#27 this week in UK a 5 place rise.

 

Either the glasto effect wearing off or the vogue impact / in my head video?

 

(Or just low sales all around and it still has high streams :lol: )

 

Still a rise is a rise.

'in my head' re-entering the UK iTunes chart because of the video. B-)

Also re enters sales chart at #98

Also her insta seems to confirm this has passed 3billion streams

Slay that climb *.* the next leg of her tour kicks off next month so that should help it get back in the top 20.

Six months of 'thank u, next'! Fitting that it should be re-entering the top 20 of the UK chart this week ^_^

 

As the tweet that Ariana originally quoted says - what would be your top 3 of the album now? Mine is:

 

01. 7 rings

02. ghostin

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

1. bloodline

2. ghostin

3. fake smile

 

The singles are probably like mid table for me tbh. But I think I prefer 7 rings to thank u, next. break up with ur gf definitely my least favourite single.

 

Such a strong album though everything’s like a 7 at least.

1. 7 rings

2. bad idea

3. needy

Back inside the top 20 in UK this week at #17

 

Also at #97 on sales only chart a re entry.

#16 this week officially.

 

Was also on the sales chart too at #99.

Oh up just one place, not the greatest tour effect ever then :lol: 'sweetener' up from #74 to #53 though!

Every single track from this album has over 70m streams on Spotify! It's the first album by a solo female to do so! :D
