Officially at the end of the year!

Congratulations to JADE for securing THE ALBUM OF THE YEAR WITH USER TAFTY!

My Album Of The Year!

I love how much they full on STAN for each other.

Sadly looks like it's fallen straight back out this week

Announced on the OCC facebook page they listing a lot of records for the year

What a feat for her. Not even just "British Debut"!

There is a moment in that interview with Miquita & Lily where Jordan mentions something about how a lot of her team weren't expecting her to do as well as she has etc.. especially when it came to the touring side of things.

So proud of her.

I said it at the time she was selling herself short with the venues, I can understand why they were playing it safe but she'd of definitely sold out bigger

She is def gonna do a Harry Styles with the second era. He only had one chart hit from the first album and it took its damn time with the sales but really caught up over the time.

She just needs EXPOSURE maaaannnnnn! UGHHHH. Reactors LOVE her!

Almost every music reactor has reacted to her, its great to see

TBH her label have really messed her around with their release strategy.

The album should have come out (when it leaked back in Feb) after Angel. The long drawn out release made no sense and none of the tracks hit.

The strange promo single strategy was also very odd - I don't really know what the point of promo singles are anymore as they do very little to promote the album.

A solid release would have been...

Angel of my Dreams

FUFN (but release the clean edit)

Stop (Before You Break My Heart) (release on album week as it was the only song that garnered any attention during album week)

Plastic Box

The re-release should have happened end of Jan 2026 - whoever though the December release date was a good idea was an idiot.

I think there's certainly a solid foundation for her to have a successful second era but they cannot mess up with the lead single. It needs to be on Spotify playlists, the video needs to be out the same day as the song and they need to have CD's out in the first week too.

She's literally ticked every box with the debut era - top 3 album, top 10 (soon to be Platinum) single, critical acclaim, sold out tour, Brit Award - but most of this has been riding on the success of Angel Of My Dreams. She won't repeat the success next time round without a hit single to launch it.

I don't think Spotify want her on Hot Hits UK sadly. They passed up on FUFN and Plastic Box which were getting better daily streams than some songs on the playlist.

I'm not so sure how it could of been more successful than it has other than maybe being released between brits hype and her touring festivals, yes the December deluxe spread out release is an interesting choice but I think thats more so she can have a good break before starting album 2

I dunno. I don't think the album would have done so well if released earlier. It was definitely the festival attention / buzz that got peoples attention.

The longevity of the album (not just 3 - out, but serveral weeks Top 100) surely was helped by the number of singles off it?

Biggest issue with it was Fantasy as single 2, which just wasn't it (still my least fave of the singles).

Forget U For Now would have been a better follow-up.

Church is the best thing she's done. Throwing it away with a December release when Christmas songs clog up the charts was a ridiculous idea. The Encore could have waited for January as well.

I think she wanted to be done with that era in 2025 so 2026 could be for the start of the rollout of her new album

Or just have a break before getting onto album 2 she's mentioned plenty of times how it's been intense plus her and Jordan have been both working on multiple projects at the same time they havent had much time together recently

Which I'd get if the Deluxe was released in full. It seems crazy to me why they did a split release. Should of just released it when the vinyl was pressed. I know chart's don't mean much to the wider public but BBC / People in the industry still do follow the charts so for the album to appear top 3 again (More than likely) would have shown her power.
