Willow added to HH but as track #40 wtf

clearly no deal with Spotify

but sad too see their continuous detachment from reality

they now gone and put KSI as track #1 and Pop Smoke as #2

 

good at least they added Tiesto now

 

What's new? HHUK is the worst playlist and most disconnected one out there.

sad but true

 

very disappointing to see again and again Spotify treating artists so differently cos a label sends a check or not

 

crazy Taylor's new album is getting zero support but Ariana has 3 album tracks on every possible existing playlist even now weeks after album release

Prisoner down :( on HHUK

 

Why is Tick tock up to 4!!!!

the whole HH playlist makes no sense today, worst its ever been, they really hit a new low today

Taylor already impacting on Apple:

64 NEW willow

85 NEW Champagne problems

the rest coming up lower more or less in album order

 

Maybe Spotify don't care in December and they will push a load of new music in January!

knowing them they'll place Lasting Lover as #1 on HH in January :D

Taylor is #1 on New Music Friday at least.

Not a huge surprise but as Bjork stated shes low down on HHUK so strange one. Must give it a listen!

I've just heard that KID LAORI track, my God it's so whiney and self-indulgent.

Fast progress for Taylor on Apple:

 

16 willow

24 champagne problems

30 gold rush

39 'tis the damn season

45 no body, no crime (feat. HAIM)

46 tolerate it

53 happiness

66 dorothea

69 coney island (feat. The National)

80 ivy

 

The rest aren't showing up yet, Kworb being buggy as ever. Shame the HAIM/The National songs weren't earlier on the tracklist so it is unlikely for Taylor to smuggle them onto the singles chart. :lol:

yep the apple music app is bugging too ffs!! they're showing up on the alternative chart so I've worked out the other 5 are between 109-140 aha!

Spotify updates, 511K for Mariah and 287K for Ari

the Kid Laroi song has terrible lyrics

does he really sing:

You cut out a piece of me, and now I bleed internally

 

:D :o

WITHOUT YOU makes perfect sense as the closing track of the SAVAGE re-issue of his album - it's a huge contrast to the themes on F*CK LOVE (notably its own closing track SELFISH). I think it's lyrically strong (not sure what's so bad about that specific lyric...) and a very honest song, sung with a LOT of raw emotion in a way you rarely hear in music.

I'd go as far as to say that's probably the best lyric in the song...? :lol: I wouldn't call the song a lyrical masterpiece by any stretch but that's a pretty effectively hard hitting line, I'm a little baffled at that being singled out as a 'bad lyric' compared to literally any other part of the song if you're trying to make that point. Lol ~
