Looks like it's on New Music Friday in the US as well, pretty low down though, but better than nothing!

I was fully expecting the video only to be shot in one location, especially considering this is her sixth video this era, but maybe not releasing physicals alongside this one means that there was a little extra budget to play around with? Hopefully, having Glastonbury the week after release will help keep its streaming numbers higher for a bit!

I bought: Exclusive Gold Vinyl with Sticker Sheet Exclusive Grey Marble Vinyl with Alternative Cover Amazon Exclusive White Vinyl Signed Standard Black Vinyl UO baby blue and pre-ordered on iTunes I just saw that a US site is selling the crystal clear vinyl, so I might pick that one up closer to the release if it's still available, but I'd really love for her to release some more alternative covers; those I would definitely snap up immediately!

I'm honestly just thrilled that the album is confirmed and has a release date! Now that we know that I'm happy for her to put out as many singles as she likes. It's so rare now to have so many singles from an album, and we've gotten so many great visuals from her because of it!

Do we know how long her set is? I just wonder if there's really enough time for them to make it a 'moment' without sacrificing what an accomplishment is for Jade and her music. But, it would probably go at least slightly viral online, and if that did drive some extra presales, then it would probably be worth it!

not RCA's plan working 😂

Mine doesn't say it's signed in the email confirmation, but when I check the order status through the website, it does say it's a signed copy, so if anyone else is worried, I would recommend checking there!

If you think of it, will you post in here what they say? Because mine is exactly the same way!

oh alright, one more. but, only because this one might actually ship from the US, so I won't be waiting weeks to get it!

I snagged the signed vinyl, the gold vinyl, the white one, and the alternative cover vinyl. I hope she releases more alternate covers so I have an excuse to buy a few more. Coming for the top 300 in the US charts!!!

Eh.. the chart battle will probably give her a few extra sales, especially since by September everyone's bank accounts will be replenished. At this point, I'm sure RCA is just looking for a return on their investment, so sales will be more important than chart position.

I really do think that the album delay is at least partially due to Jade, she said originally that her label wanted her to have the tracklisting and everything done by the end of last year but she didn't end up having it done until after the BRITs. It sounds like she wanted to go back in and rework the album quite a bit when she decided to change the name, although I guess we won't really know until the album is released and we see if it's different from those leaks. Maybe I'm just being too optimistic but I don't think there's been a moment where her label were considering shelving the album.

I know some people haven't been thrilled with how long the rollout of the album has been but I really do think that releasing as many songs as she has is helping her build a more solid fanbase. FUFN being relatively stable with less playlisting is a pretty good indicator of that! I would've loved to have already had the album, but I can see the reasoning behind extending the era for a longer and I also love that we've gotten so many visuals from her that we might've missed if she'd dropped the album right after AOMD.

I'm going to be potentially delusional and agree with you on this! 😅 My vinyl has also shipped, which is nice since mine is coming all the way to the US so I figured they'd leave those till last, so looks like they're definitely going to get all of them shipped this week!

Yeah, the video not being released is really confusing to me. We know she filmed this video months ago, so I'm definitely curious as to what the hold-up with releasing it is.
