^ I think jt was more an unfortunate chain of events. They released WLM then immediately left their label, the second single was delayed then the entire campaign was scrapped when really it should have been releasing through to June. Bounce Back and OIBM were just shoved out there because they didn't have an album ready and didn't want to be gone too long. BUS literally got released the week the world went into lockdown, had a dreadful video and zero promotion yet still went top 10 and platinum which tells me in normal circumstances it would have been huge. Holiday just wasn't very instant and again didn't have promo.

End of next year maybe

Leigh. I reckon she will do a feature by end of summer. Jade will be first to release a full album.

It'll hit 200 by the end of June or early July. It'll float at 1-2k q week for a while then probably get a bump q4 and when solo projects start. I reckon platinum by end of 2023 latest.

Hopefully they do a world tour next time and don't cancel Aus/nz again. I fully agree about having a live band. This tour feels really cheap when you can just hear the entire song (vocals included) playing in the background.

It's madness to me that 'Between Us' isn't being released as an official single this week.

Album sales suddenly are much higher across the board. Did some rules change?

^ what channel have you been watching?

They are. Bless them. I hope they get a lil holiday together after.

But it would be a lie to say 'the four of us will always be one' when one literally is no longer a part of it and had quite frankly earned the relationship she now has with the girls. They supported her so much and she repeatedly demonstrated that it was a one way street. I don't think consciously. I think she'd quite oblivious to some of her actions but at the end of the day...they still happened. I actually feel happy for the girls that they got to spend their last year together with positive vibes only and for Jesy that she didn't just try and stick out that last year for thr sake of other people. It would have become super toxic and destroyed things.

They absolutely will have say about when they release. They aren't puppets that have just come onto the scene. They've just come off the back of a decade in the third highest selling girl group of all time. They have some leverage and would have taken the deals that suit their needs. Not to mention their entire "thing" is their sisterhood and after the mess around Jesy there's no way their new labels would pit them against each other and feed into negativity. However...releasing against Jesy is likely a different story. People know they are no longer friends and that will drum up much more attention.

A last TV performance would be great.

While they're still young...11 years of doing this will take its toll even if Gary hadn't had 3 years off from touring and babies. While they're incredible dancers they are more known as a vocal group and that's what let me down. The vocals we got were great but so much of the performance is just backing track now. It made the tour feel cheap. My biggest wish for their next tour is for it to be with a live band and dj.

I really want them to release between us properly on May 21 with a tour video. The last video was dropped so quietly. It's had like 3mil views.

I reckon we will have a new album q4 2025 I'm happy with that. I want to see them get what I want and I want it to be a proper comeback.

I think the way events have unfolded will ease fhe blow. Had this been after LM5 when they were literally everywhere then it would have felt like a whiplash. But with lockdown followed by Jesy leaving followed by maternity leave which led to a year of zero promotion, I feel I've been weaned off of a bit. They've done one performance since Jesy left officially and before the tour and it's their shortest tour and their first in three years so it doesn't feel like they're going to suddenly vanish when they've actively been slowing down.

I don't think they would wait that long. It'll take attention away from solo projects.

I think it'll be quite easy for this to hit platinum by years end. Confetti will take quite a while if it happens at all.

The fact it's the 5th highest selling album with like 70k sales this year is mad. Albums used to sell that in a week.

Yeah album sales are horrific and it was quite a sudden change. To think Glory Days sold 1.2m even Adele isn't hitting that now. Harry Stylws last album has been top 40 since Dec 2019 and isn't even 2xplat.

This song is great. I think they made a huge mistake releasing while Jesy was off work AND while SM was still peaking. A late January release with Jesys part re-recorded could have been huge. Especially as they could have done a video at that time.

They so little

They've generally been posting doors at 6. Support at 7. Girls at 830.

Also 'be grateful' ain't nobody doing that tour for free.

They benefit alot from this being in the streaming era. Obviously all their major hits will keep this afloat probably for the next six months.
