UltraCruelSummer

I cannot stop listening to this for some reason this week, to the point I’m even tolerating London Boy (it’s still awful in every way but it’s kind of got some charm 😭😂)

 

There’s honestly so many gems on this album! (And all the non-Lover song singles get far too much hate)

This finally hit #1 on US Spotify for the first time ever today! :cheeseblock: The 5th song from Lover to go to #1 on US Spotify (and seven top 2’s!)

 

Anyway looks like the hot 100 is a no go this week as the maga guy chart points are huge now 😭😭 hopefully it gets disqualified but I doubt it. It’s also up to #3 on US Spotify today ew. 🤮

Re-entered the hot 100 this week at #49 :cheeseblock:

+12 Taylor Swift - Enchanted (Taylor’s Version)

+10 Taylor Swift - I Can See You

+8 Olivia Rodrigo - vampire

+7 Billie Eilish - What Was I Made for?

+6 Charli XCX - Speed Drive

+5 Ava Max - Choose Your Fifhter

+4 Ryan Gosling - I’m Just Ken

+3 Becky Hill & Chase & Starus - Disconnext

+2 Stormzy and RAYE - The Weekend

+1 Troye Sivan - Rush

Ahh incredible I hope she gets the #1!!!

 

I think Olivia shouldn’t be a threat (unless bad idea right has a good 4 u trajectory) and I think she should overtake Morgan this week. Luke Combs seems to be the biggest threat (he’s released live versions + discounts etc this week, but they don’t seem to be having a major impact). Or at absolute worst, that new right-wing song that’s #1 on iTunes and doing well on streaming too.

 

I also wonder if this could repeak at #3 here this week?! It’s 5 in the mids, I think CS will overtake bad idea right and it’s also ahead of vampire on Apple Music & just 2k streams behind it on spotify.

Finally caved in and listened to You’re Losing Me and :cheeseblock: Need this (properly) on streaming asap, whew a masterpiece!! (Guess maybe we’ll get it on streaming for Midnights’ anniversary in October?)

Cruel Summer back up to 3 on Apple Music 😍

I didn't realise this was doing anything on streaming so it was a pleasant surprise to see this enter the top 100 this week! (and nearly top 75!) :wub:

A new version is out today with one new song (How Do I Do This), the interlude extended, blindsided with the outro she’s been performing since release and a live version of Penthouse!

 

Still easily one of the best releases this year :cheeseblock: (I was kinda hoping she’d extend this project into a full length album but I doubt that’ll happen now)

!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

This is the most YOU thing EVER! OMFG!!!!

 

Would you like some help, dear? Or have you sorted it?

It should be ok thank u!! (I ordered it to my parents workplace so I’ll just have to make them keep an eye on it 😂)

Not then actually selling out!!

 

I just panic rushed and got the Aquamarine/Sunrise Boulevard ones and subsequently managed to order it under the name ‘mum’, order it to the wrong address and block my card 😭😂😂

 

However those are the two colours I would’ve gone for so I’m glad those are the two still left!

Apple Music:

 

35. Style

40. Blank space

49. Shake it off

100. Wildest dreams

160. Bad blood

 

:cheeseblock:

 

Out of the woods just outside the top 200 (I’d guess around ~215 looking at the pop chart). From a quick glance, Welcome To New York, All You Had To Do Was Stay and Wildest Dreams (Taylor’s Version) are top 200 on the pop chart!

DO I PRE-ORDER EACH CD VARIANT OR NOT??? :drama:

This is me :drama:

 

My heart is saying yes, my brain and bank account is saying get 1, maybe 2 maximum 😂

 

(And I low-key feel like it’ll be like the midnights alternative covers where the limited sale goes on forever 😂)

I’m still shook we weren’t clowning! :cheeseblock:

 

The way I somehow timed it that I woke up (without an alarm) literally one minute before she started her announcement speech :cheeseblock:

I really thought sweeter than fiction and bad blood Kendrick Version would be on this but now I’m less sure with five vault tracks. Wonder if the former gets the hunger games soundtrack songs treatment, and the latter doesn’t get re-recorded?

Unless I’m blind, I can’t see the new alternative artworks?? (They’re hidden by 1989 on colour backgrounds)

 

Low-key not massive on the main new artwork at all oops, it lacks the iconic feel of the original! (So I wanna see the alternative ones!!) also kinda wished for more than 5 vault tracks! Apart from that, everything’s perfect!!!

5 vault tracks

Same release date as the original, nine years later :cheeseblock:

October 27th!!!!!

2013:

Lily Allen - Somewhere Only We Know

Stooshe - Slip
