UltraCruelSummer

Ok I’m ready to clown (cos it’s not gonna be a merch drop cos that’s happened, and I don’t see it being another music video when fortnight is announced with a teaser)

Why do I see people clowning that something is happening at 2am (in 1 hour 40 mins). (And I will be joining the clowning, imagine if we get a 2am edition)

Ofc I managed to wake up two minutes after 5 out of pure coincidence 😂 Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me remains that girl :cheeseblock:

Fortnight is the lead single, as expected. Wonder if it’ll smash, or do a Slut and get replaced by an album track. Can see either happening. I can’t get enough of who’s afraid of little old me, already a career highlight.

Putting initial thoughts underneath in spoilers:

Now I have a job I can no longer do the 5am waits and staying up til 6:30am-ish (and I can’t take the day off cos I have an important work event on Friday), so I am caving. Let’s go *.*

AM: 20 - perrie 42 - Dua 59 - Sabrina

Cruel Smasher still going :cheeseblock: I Don’t Wanna Wait is an early potential for my song of the summer, I am obsessed! It’s so so catchy, and hopefully a future top 10 hit! Austin for top 10 this week, still the song of the year by miles x (tho I’m feeling pretty confident it will be thankfully!)

Great for Perrie <3 Sabrina also straight in at 121!

Austin top 10 on both Spotify and Apple Music for the first time today :cheeseblock: Still easily the song of the year for me ❤️

Emma :cheeseblock: :cheeseblock: :cheeseblock:

Austin now showing up on Apple Music ❤️ (at #195)

Austin debuts at #81 this week!! :wub: I literally cannot take it off repeat atm.

Austin entering at 81 ❤️ still shook at it taking off *.*

Incredible :cheeseblock: She just doesn’t miss! The production and vocals are insane, and love the rocky sound *.* All Born Screaming - St Vincent’s 7th album - is out on the 26th April and I can’t wait!! It’s 10 tracks (with a Cate Le Bon feature on the last title track) and supposedly it’s self-produced! Also in love with that album cover, so striking *.*

Dasha, a new breakthrough singer, released her 2nd album What Happens Now just under a couple weeks ago - this is her first ‘cuntry’ album and is a definite future country star if she continues down this route! Austin is the lead single (released last November) and is currently taking off, debuting on UK Spotify today! I’ve been obsessed with this album over the past couple of weeks. Austin is the obvious highlight, great lyrics and such a catchy beat (it kinda reminds me of Halsey’s You Should Be Sad in parts). I also adore what happens now, which is a MAJOR bop. King of California is my other favourite and the album is really solid overall, though I’d maybe take another uptempo number over one of the ballads. Dasha’s material reminds me of Kelsea Ballerini, which is never a bad thing *.* (I was also thinking of making a return to the current BJSC with Austin earlier this month but decided I couldn’t be bothered with the effort as felt it’d flop there, now I definitely won’t be returning obviously! x)

Oh wow *.* I discovered it about a month ago when making a playlist for a mate (due to the song name haha and to my surprise was great) and I’ve been obsessed ever since then, was completely unaware it had made any traction on other countries Spotify’s in the last week/TikTok so that’s great to find out and also why it’s probably one of the biggest pleasant shocks I’ve seen on Spotify in the past few years for me! Hope it continues to rise!

Omg Austin entering?!?!?! 😮😮 It’s literally my favourite song atm but thought it was completely unknown I am shook!! I love Dasha and Austin is her best song I hope this can properly take off!

Whatever is amazing, hope it can eventually go top 10 x

I’m having an absolute moment with champagne problems today, what a beautiful masterpiece ❤️

Yeah I’ve been keeping an eye on the Australian Spotify (as I think it’ll be similar to what we experience here) and it’s been pretty crazy! Today she has 3 songs top 10 (CS at #1, lover! & anti hero), 11 songs top 25, 17 top 50, 36 top 100 and 49 top 200!! The slayage :cheeseblock: the entire setlist is charting + two repeat TV songs + one surprise song + three not on the setlist. Also Cruel Summer up 30k week-on-week here on Friday, here for another week of it avoiding a decline!!

Omg Australia won (red/you’re losing me last night is an even better combo, one of the GOAT combos yet)

Texas Hold ‘Em and 16 Carriages are out on tidal!! (Now please release them on a service people actually use x)

As someone who thinks Daddy Lessons is the best song she’s released in the past fifteen years, I am SO excited for this!! Ari, Kacey, Beyonce and Tay all within just over a month of each other is insane! :cheeseblock:

Votes for both weeks: +5 Cruel Summer +4 Greedy +3 Murder on the dancefloor +2 Huodini +1 Yes, and -1 stick season -2 prada -3 water (w1) / homesick (w2) -4 lovin on me -5 lose control
