Liam.k.

All I think of when I see the cover is one comment saying "I'd have had him pull her hair tighter". 😂 Having seen her on tour, I agree that everything she does is very tongue-n-cheek, but I can understand the opposing view.

I wasn't sure whether I liked this or not for the first few listens, I don't know quite how to describe it! I'm firmly in the love camp now though, there is something a little bit 'Obsessed' about it with the catchy lyrics and the attitude of the song. Love how she's teaching us new words for us like "rigamarole", very classic Mariah.

'City Games' now plays on Spotify instead of the Tom Middleton remix of 'Chocolate'!

Before 'Manchild' was released, I did wonder if we'd be getting a new Sabrina album sooner than expected. She strikes me as the type of artist that would write music whilst on the road and I thought she would want to offer something new for the second US leg of the tour later in the year. 'Manchild' very much feels like a continuation of the 'Short N Sweet' sound so I thought that one or two songs might be the extent of the new music. Hopefully there is a progression of sound on this next album; I like 'Manchild' but, as others have said numerous times, it's very "heard it all before but not as good second time round".

'Skin' remix is #9 on UK iTunes!

'Dancing' is #186 on UK iTunes, down from #111 on the previous update.

Omg! Only 27 years late! Wonder when the 'Bedtime Stories' bonus vinyl will be put on pre-order? Feels like that was announced ages ago. I feel like 'Revenge' would have been a better choice of demo to include on a remix album (and it's one I'm dying to have on Spotify!). 'Skin' (The Collaboration Remix Edit) is on Spotify now:

I think like you touched on earlier, Miley's album eras have a tendency to end soon after the album is released and leaves so much untapped potential. 'Angels Like You' and 'Jaded' not getting proper pushes is a travesty.

Tate's singles have been hitting a lot more consistently recently but I'm not really feeling this one. It's just a bit Tate by numbers.

I feel like people are surprised at how low Miley's sales are in comparison to her star power each time she releases an album, but these first week sales do show they're pretty consistent. I must admit I thought she'd have started off better than 5k this time around though (even without a big hit attached to the album, a 50%+ drop is very significant).

For comparison, 'Endless Summer Vacation' started the Monday midweeks with 11,370 sales (6,259 physicals, 1,960 downloads, 3,151 streaming). Miley's previous first week sales: 13,552 Breakout (#10) 17,954 Can’t Be Tamed (#8) 30,759 Bangerz (#1) 10,024 Younger Now (#8) 15,318 Plastic Hearts (#4) 18,746 Endless Summer Vacation (#1)

It's about time!

'Padam Padam' is #189 on UK iTunes thanks to the tour. 'Tension' the album is at #74.

By digital I'm assuming it means streams as well as downloads. I've long thought that they should at least add 'Padam Padam' to 'Step Back in Time' on streaming services. Such little effort but could see a decent increase in its chart sales. I agree we don't need a brand new greatest hits album for Kylie, but maybe they could repackage it for the 40th anniversary of Kylie's music career. Maybe a more expansive vinyl as the original only had 20 tracks.

Hard to pinpoint which song exactly but my earliest memories are watching the music channels and that would have been 2000/1, so it'll have been one of 'Spinning Around', 'On a Night Like This' or 'Head'. I remember 'Lucky' and 'Locomotion' regularly getting plays as well so it could have been one of them too (off on a tangent here, but reminds me that I owned some pop compilations that had both songs on; one of them was 'Dance Party' which had a second disc where you could learn the dance moves!). My mum had the 'Light Years' CD which I listened to all the time. I still have the CD and the booklet is worn in the middle because I used to read the lyrics and look at the photos every time I listened.
