I am a Pretty Ugly truther. 10/10 song to me. I can see why most people don't like it as it's so in your face but it absolutely slaps. Great album overall and easily her best. Hope it manages top 10 but I don't know how likely that is

Its being well received so hope so. Looks like its doing well in her home country, the whole album is charting in Spotify and Apple there, don't see how she couldn't get a num 1 in Sweden at least.

I've heard the album and girl did good!

However, yes there is the issue of 'Pretty Ugly'. It keeps coming up on autoplay for me and right from the intro it grates so much 😬

Hot & Sexy is doing numbers. Would be such a cool single. Will also be very current with the new series of big brother

This has been on repeat for days. It’s the first album in a long time that I haven’t just added my favourites to my playlist and then said goodbye to. So, so good!

I put the album on last night but I wasn't properly listening so I'll need to give it another go, but all I know is the Pretty Ugly hate is so undeserved. Still a banger x

Really hoping she would go top 10 with this album. Its the most replayable album released of the week

Agreed. Every song delivers. I just wish it was a bit longer, but I suppose the short length has encouraged me to replay this more than I may have otherwise.

#17 in the first midweeks is very disappointing, worried for where this will end up on Friday. Definitely doesn't deserve to be her lowest peaking album but I guess it's not exactly backed up by any hits for streaming boosts.

Damn that's sad! Though this is probably her only era where she hasn't had a UK hit I believe? Venus might have been nowhere near as good as MS but it had two hits so it makes sense this is doing worse. At least the title track has had a bit of a viral moment over the last month or two

Obviously I’m disappointed that this looks set to be a top 40 at best, I think this era will consolidate her being an artist with a following more than the previous few that did better.

It’s been her best reviewed album, most cohesive work, with a clear image of vision which will lend itself well to her sold out tour. So I’m just hoping she can see all the positives that have come from the reception of this and continue down this avenue of having an identity rather than the next era having another David Guetta feature or something faceless.

I can see her releasing a deluxe or repackage in Q1 next year. She’s got so much momentum going for her, she needs to really capitalise on it!

Gutted to see how this is doing

I'm not saying she would've done WILDLY different, but it doesn't help that almost everything on her store has been sold out since the start of the week, so anyone wanting to jump on board any hype they're saying is just met with "sold out", instead of having more variants available.

I bought the album from her store on Saturday and it still hasn’t been dispatched eeeeek

Blue Moon is such a grower

Oh wow Zara actually is performing 'Midnight Sun' on Strictly right now and not just something like 'Symphony'

a bit Strictly-fied at the start but then launched into the full fat banger that it is

I hope it does something for her!

I gave this a listen on my way to work this morning and it is her best album! It’s her only album what actually feels like a project and not just a collection of singles.

I’ve always liked Zara’s voice though but there’s always been an element to her where a lot of her material could be sung by anyone but I really feel like with this era she put her stamp over and had a vision / idea of what she wanted so I appreciate her there.

The charts didn't like it but the grammys did. Dont see her song winning but just glad she got some recognition
