    It's... a bit of a mess isn't it? 'Touch' was everywhere at this point in the GDs era. I can kind of understand why they're holding off now with the Christmas song influx, but they really should've announced the second single weeks ago.

    06 Cannonball

    07 Wings

    07 DNA

    06 Change Your Life

    07 How Ya Doin’ (Feat. Missy Elliot)

    10 Move

    06 Little Me

    06 Word Up!

    08 Salute

    08 Black Magic

    09 Love Me Like You

    09 Secret Love Song (Feat. Jason Derulo)

    10 Hair (Feat. Sean Paul)

    09 Shout Out To My Ex

    11 Touch

    10 No More Sad Songs (Feat. Machine Gun Kelly)

    10 Power (Feat. Stormzy)

    09 Reggaetón Lento (With CNCO)

    08 Only You (With Cheat Codes)

    08 Woman Like Me (Feat. Nicki Minaj)

    09 Think About Us

    Only just caught up with Graham Norton. They looked and sounded incredible -- definitely eclipsed any of their WLM performances. They sell the heck out of every song, and it definitely helped TAU 'click' for me.

     

    Shame it didn't do much for it, they really ought to get this on radio/Spotify playlists ASAP. It's kind of shocking to see how they've treated this versus 'Touch' two years ago.

    It is increasingly more and more difficult for a female pop album to do well, only Ariana and (unfortunately) Jess Glynne have done well this year really.

     

    I suspect Zara and Ellie won't do too well either - maybe get a high peak but low sales.

    Jess Glynne's doing well, but even she's seen a big drop off from her first album. The album chart in general looks absolutely grim right now.

    Oh wow, that's pretty dreadful. This era in general has been... disheartening. The music's good and that's ultimately what matters, but the commercial response has been so tepid. I can't at the prospect of this being their lowest selling album (along with 'Salute' -- by far and away their best offerings). The GP suck.

     

    Edit: It's actually reminding me a lot of the Ellie Goulding situation post-Halcyon. She was huge for a moment and looked set to build upon that hype, but 'Delirium' opened to disappointing numbers despite 'On My Mind' being a hit, and the era never really recovered. Let's hope LM push more than two singles; I reckon 'Monster In Me' could really sell the album.

    Meh, I don't have a strong opinion on the matter either way. The only single mix of theirs that is worse than the original is 'Power' imo (disregarding Kid Ink 'Touch' because lol), and it's not like the middle 8 really stands out on 'Think About Us' (unlike 'Power' where it's sorely missed).

     

    Plus, the 'excessive features' argument sort of falls apart when you consider that everyone was clamouring for 'Strip' (feat Sharaya J) to receive the single treatment. :lol:

    I agree the verses are superior to the chorus, but 'More Than Words' is still fantastic overall. I'd class it, 'Monster in Me' and 'Towers' as their top 3 ballads.

     

    Surprised that 'Strip' and WLM are both still in -- I figured they'd prove a lot more polarising after some of the comments on here.

    I'm so unbelievably happy this actually happened, I always considered it a pipe dream.

     

    No hesitation in saying that Crash Team Racing is my favourite video game of all time. I love that they kept the original 8 roster intact, they've always been so iconic to me. Polar looks adorable as always. :wub: Secretely hoping they add the likes of Brio/Tawna/Koala Kong into the mix as well (Spyro can rot tho). Apparently there's new tracks included too -- I wouldn't be opposed to them adding ones from Crash Nitro Kart in (I imagine that's the mostly likely scenario, given the 'Nitro' in the title).

    'Love a Girl Right' is criminally low. I don't think I'd rate it a 10 now after spamming the album for a few weeks, but I'd still place it ahead of a good majority of the tracklist.

     

    I really like 'Notice' too, but it is pretty forgettable. 'Told You So' bowing out early looks about right. It's cute but unspectacular.

     

    'Strip' out next tbh (or Woman's World).
