And we all know what that means...It’s because she gets good streaming numbers on a large proportion of her songs, however the most recent few are struggling so I can’t imagine it lasting much longer.

Her first two albums are great pop albums. Maybe she should just stick to being a dance artists vocalist or something?In Berlin she was getting the biggest venue - Uber Arena - with 17k capacity. Billie and Blackpink sold out two nights in there in minutes, in comparison.
July 10Jul 10 I'm really enjoying Wet, Hot American Dream, even if the production budget was about 20p 🤣
July 12Jul 12 Still haben't clicked play, so I am following her instructions!Awful singer. She started with a rip off or Poker Face and somehow got even worse than that. I guess being a Budget GaGa was never a winning move. Edited August 22Aug 22 by Big Fat Sue
August 22Aug 22 Now out!I will aim to hear this tomorrow. I do kinda lowkey love Ava for what she is. I’m kinda stunned that they actually released his though I really felt it was either gonna be postponed until 2026 or just shelved. It does seem like she’s not too happy with the rollout however!
August 22Aug 22 This album hasn’t really done it for me. I mean, it’s fine. But it’s a bit dry and bland tbh.

August 22Aug 22 Ok but World's Smallest Violin This one in particular pops off! Don't Click Play the title track also stands out as a big highlight!
August 22Aug 22 World's Smallest Violin is SO good!!!I really like the album as a whole! It's just what I expect from Ava, reliable fun pop music.
August 23Aug 23 I clicked play. And I was... pleasantly surprised. Nothing groundbreaking of course, but it's just a bunch of fun and well-produced pop songs, basically what I expect from an Ava Max album. There's a few I'd go back to. 'World's Smallest Violin' is probably the highlight!
August 24Aug 24 She's got the voice to hit us with a great power ballad but she just keeps not using the vocals she has. I love that she makes dance music but a switch up would be nice. I like the album but its nothing like her first two and she needs to do something different. Worlds smallest violin is probably the most unique on the record and is the best one by far.
August 25Aug 25 Y’know what…This is actually growing on me.I should never have doubted her to bring the pop bops!!! I’M SO SORRY QUEEN!!!‘Don’t Click Play’, ‘Sucks To Be My Ex’ and ‘World’s Smallest Violin’… YESS!
Wednesday at 22:444 days The album starts off well with by far the best song on it, then steps into blandness from Take My Call onwards until the last two tracks.

Thursday at 09:094 days Ok so this album is definitely a grower. The highlights are Skin in the game, worlds smallest violin and catch my breath.Shame it seems her career is derailed by the tragic roll out 😑
