June 23, 20232 yr Did anyone else’s vinyl come with a free poster that looked like it was resized on Paint before they printed it?
June 24, 20232 yr Author Did anyone else’s vinyl come with a free poster that looked like it was resized on Paint before they printed it?YES LMAO. I don't want to send it back, I like the vinyl variant too much If I see it going super cheap somewhere, I'll buy another variant and sell the that one on Vinted or something but ughhhhhh. Frustrating! </3 This album is getting better with each listen for me. 'skip this part' is truly brilliant and 'that's right' is SO good!
June 24, 20232 yr Author I didn't realise how well this was doing online. It got to #1 in 16 countries on iTunes and hit #1 on the WorldWide iTunes chart! Also #1 in Amazon's best sellers (but not sure if that is US - I presume so - or not) I hope it's a decent sized debut for her!
June 24, 20232 yr Ok listened to it a few times now, my current ranking would go something like this - 1. Lighthouse - of course the ‘saddest song she’s ever wrote’ is my number 1, stunning! 2. me - been obsessed with this since day 1 3. Skip This Part - think this could climb to my number 1, amazing production 4. mine - probably so high cause i’ve played it to death but I love it 5. Rock Hudson - love the lyrics on this one, another great song 6. Red Flag Collector - love the western vibes on this one and the lyrics, a banger 7. Favourite Kind Of High - absolute banger and amazing vocals 8. Down To You - bit of an uplifting song a bit stronger esc, really enjoy it 9. My Mistake - Love the lyrics again, another ballad type that i’m sure i’ll play to death 10. I Hate Love - cute and fun, enjoy the lyrics, nice little bop 11. Magic - gorgeous song but not sure how much i’ll play it, a little forgettable 12. Chemistry - another beautiful song but maybe a bit too chilled for my liking 13. That’s Right - cute fun summery ending to the album but not amazing 14. High Road - dunno why this just sticks out, maybe cause it’s the only one she didn’t write, just seems a bit basic
June 24, 20232 yr Had a listen last night and then ordered the CD on Amazon with the poster. It's not her very best but it's a solid album - really loving Red Flag Collector (agree the western style production/music on this is <3), I Hate Love and Skip This Part. Lighthouse and Rock Hudson sounded really good too, and Me/Mine are growing. Can see it being a grower of an album too, I'm happy with it.
June 24, 20232 yr Author The poster with the CD is thankfully better quality than that with the vinyl 😂😂
June 24, 20232 yr It’s a very enjoyable album, instant highlight is I Hate Love and I’m also a big fan of Favourite Kind of High.

Sheila E) 10. down to you 11. rock hudson 12. magic 13. chemistry 14. my mistake I think my biggest growers will be 'rock hudson', 'that's right' & 'high road' I really think 'that's right' has potential to grow the most!New ranking now I've heard this a handful of times: 01. favourite kind of high 02. me 03. mine 04. red flag collector 05. that's right 06. lighthouse 07. skip this part 08. rock hudson 09. I hate love 10. high road 11. magic 12. down to you 13. my mistake 14. chemistry That 5-11 section all feels criminal and like they're ALL too low omg. I love them all!
June 25, 20232 yr Author I doubt it. I suspect Glastonbury is going to have a big effect on the albums chart :( I do think this won’t be quite the disaster I feared it would be though! Fingers crossed it can debut top 10 at least!
June 25, 20232 yr A number 1 album looks very possible for Kelly this week. I'm personally not sure she could get top 10 let alone #1 (I hope I'm wrong!). She hasn't done any promo, hasn't sent a song to radio and we have Glastonbury which will give big boosts to a number of albums.

I was very wrong in my prediction and you are much much closer to predicting correctly.
June 27, 20232 yr Eek #10, definitely going down I’d say. Hopefully can stay too long 20 although Girls Aloud fell from #9 to outside top 40!
June 27, 20232 yr Author This album just gets better and better for me on repeat listens. I only skip the title track. Everything else has grown majorly.
June 28, 20232 yr I agree that the title track is skip-worthy, I expected it to be a much better song! Overall, Meaning Of Life (the album) has become such a personal fave that I couldn't expect this to surpass it, but there was enough good tracks here to make it worth the wait. 'Favorite Kind Of High' is my fave so far, and the last 5-6 songs on the tracklist made for a solid ending. I plan on buying this, just debating whether I want to help its first-week sales or second-week sales. :thinking:
