May 26, 20232 yr I fear how the album will do :( Having said this, I haven't pre-ordered anything :o Post-poned x
May 26, 20232 yr Seeing as Phoenix couldn’t go top 10 with 5 top 10 hits pre-release, it’s really not looking good for the new album… I’m not that excited for it tbh. I enjoyed YOLM but haven’t come back to Praising You at all. Hopefully the next single will be better.
May 26, 20232 yr Context re Phoenix is important, it was released in Q4 where it naturally takes more sales to make the top 10. Its chart run was strong so the peak barely mattered in the end, as annoying as it was. It got unlucky not to make the top 10 for sure.
May 26, 20232 yr Very true. Top 10 on the album chart is around 5,000 nowadays which id like to think she’ll be able to manage but I’m not confident in that. Edited May 26, 20232 yr by Frenchie
June 16, 20232 yr Dopamine Remix out this week, is there any sign of this making a chart appearance anytime soon? RpOTiX3m2rg
June 16, 20232 yr Dopamine Remix out this week, is there any sign of this making a chart appearance anytime soon? Nope, it's bouncing around a bit on iTunes but seemingly doing nothing on streaming.
June 16, 20232 yr Nope, it's bouncing around a bit on iTunes but seemingly doing nothing on streaming. I've seen it make an occasional appearance in the 160/170s region on Apple Music, but obviously that's not gonna help much.
June 19, 20232 yr She's gonna need to throw loads of album variants out there but even then I can see it missing the top twenty.
June 20, 20232 yr Shame to see how this has performed. Was at least expecting enough interest to scrape a top 100 position.
June 20, 20232 yr She's gonna need to throw loads of album variants out there but even then I can see it missing the top twenty. She doesn’t have anywhere near as many variants as other artists - https://ritaora.tmstor.es/?lf=1a5b483cf438c...3ae835b6b792660 But I guess in 2023 does Rita have a stan fanbase that will buy 10 copies of the album? She has 5 HMV signings though so I’m sure that will be enough for a Top 20, it really is going to be a 12-193 album though :drama: (I know that’s the norm but still).
June 20, 20232 yr In a way I'm almost amazed they're bothering, especially with how protracted the Phoenix era ended up being until the album's eventual release.
June 20, 20232 yr for what I see there's only 1 vinyl and 2 CDs, so not many formats really thought the label was gonna do all things necessary for this to become a hit at least some autoplay payola like with the previous single
June 20, 20232 yr ^^ She is signed to BMG though, streaming is not their strongest point and I guess they tried and tested with the first single and were rewarded with a #57 so won’t be repeating the payola route?
June 20, 20232 yr A couple of others: Spotify Blue - https://ritaora.tmstor.es/product/112319?password=rosfflp Orange - https://hmv.com/store/music/vinyl/rita-ora-you-i
June 20, 20232 yr really thought the label was gonna do all things necessary for this to become a hit at least some autoplay payola like with the previous single I guess Kylie is a much bigger priority for them.
