Melancholia

Mariah has no official UK store and some shops aren't even stocking her album, so it's not a surprise.

So to you "female market" is what, soppy ballads and not a lot of creative input?

Benson is clearly only a streaming artist not an album artist.

The thing is it's not bland, it's a genuinely great track. It's just been so long now people are wanting new. Sabrina's new one isn't anything special tbh.

Ditto. Adore Kylie but the song is trash and I need her to move away from this sound.

But most of the chart is what has been placed on certain playlists so it's not like people are listening to what they actually like, it's convenience. A shame.

More importance should be made for sales when it comes to the chart. A combination is important of course, but it takes a lot more to actually pay money for music especially a specific track.

This is only a repress of an extremely limited picture disc. Also the shipping date was 14th Feb for the UK, if I recall?

Because streams mean quality?

It would be so fascinating to see what the chart would be if Spotify removed it's playlists.

If more effort gets put into CDs I could see them getting a lift. The price of vinyl is insane and only rising. So some who still enjoy the physical item, will switch.

'Messy' is a great track. I was obsessed with it last summer.

Feels like they do this so down the line they can claim to be behind some of her "rise" to stardom.

You mean ripping off a sound The Tings Tings did in 2008?

Yeah 'Wicked' is outstanding. Truly deserves all the acclaim. I am going again next week.
