No Sleeep

I’m glad they added Beyoncé & Miley but sadly I doubt she has another “Cuff It”-style second hit on the album :( At least she already got 3 top 10s from it.

Streaming services in general are very very underpriced. Obviously from a consumer point of view, that’s a good thing, but art is so devalued right now, artists shouldn’t have to tour to earn a living. It’s the services own fault for pricing themselves so low to begin with, it’s like how Uber “disrupted” the taxi market with low prices and now it’s just cheaper to get a normal taxi. It’s hard to make people pay more for something when they’re used to it being so cheap - like I refuse to ever pay for YouTube as it’s something I used to get for free. So basically I think they kinda shot themselves in the foot by pricing so low to begin with, it was always unsustainable. Now people are naturally going to think they’re getting ripped off when really they’re paying slightly closer to it’s true value

£1,010 :wacko: To be honest I might end up selling it it’s the most financially irresponsible decision I’ve ever made :lol: But I also didn’t wanna miss out on the chance to finally meet her, I can’t really see her coming back here again after this tour

I splurged on a meet and greet! I figured this might be my only chance to meet her, and that seemed impossible not so long ago… who needs money anyway? :lol:

This held up really well for me, especially the Gente De Zona version. It still comes on my shuffle quite a lot!

Taylor is probably a part of Sabrina’s success but to attribute it all to her is ridiculous.

Coming for a 17-OUT. Her Liberation era!

Oh wow I stand corrected. Folklore is still 2x Platinum and Evermore is only Platinum. Would’ve thought Taylor would want her certifications to be totally up to date!

Midnights is still only 2x Platinum in the US despite selling 1.58m in its first week. Her massive sales are pretty contained to the first week

She’s really making her remaining fans feel special :lol: @1784924078052151642

I think Dua would have to delay for a month at this rate! I can’t see her opening as high as Future Nostalgia this time either

Looks like Boyz will remain the biggest LM solo single unless Jade somehow bucks the trend

I think even 5k is a big ask for her. It’s been 6 years since her last album and last hit single (and no, This Christmas doesn’t count!). It’s hard to predict but I wouldn’t be surprised if she performed similarly to Emeli Sande’s recent efforts

It’s not great for us but it is pretty great that a new album isn’t just an excuse to go on tour for her, as it seems to be for a lot of artists! She still has a lot of passion

Which is fair enough but immediately getting labelled an “anti-Taylor person” for saying that is a little annoying :lol:

Wasn’t being intentionally rude but I could already feel the pile-on starting, I’m used to being misinterpreted on here.

An album can still be huge without having any individual hits… just look at Norah Jones. The album is literally just out and all of the tracks are still high so people are clearly still digesting the whole body of work. I just haven’t seen much focus around specific tracks like there was with Anti-Hero last time. Time will tell if any of the tracks stay up there after the others fall away. I don’t know why some people on this forum have to dramatise everything. I never called her a “flop”, I literally said she’s doing amazing, I just didn’t say the album is packed with hits, nor does it have to be.

Is everybody just being wilfully obtuse? We’ll see how they hold up in the coming weeks, people were seeking out the album this week not those tracks specifically. Folklore was a massive album that had no real “hits” even if it spawned three top 10s. I’m not here to get into petty disputes over what constitutes a “hit”

Well they obviously weren’t lying if they really couldn’t get through it were they? I literally said she’s doing amazing! Not sure what more you want me to say? God forbid we speculate on anything.

She’s obviously doing amazing but I don’t feel like this album will really spawn any hits.

How does auto play work exactly? I only really play my own library on shuffle so I don’t think I’ve ever had anything forced upon me

I’m absolutely in love with this :wub: it’s from the same sessions as Born To Make You Happy and I Will Be There apparently and it really reminds me of the latter. Quite hard to believe it got cut from the album! According to a member on Exhale there’s a BOMT 25 re-release coming, so this may be a part of that. It does sounds very high quality for a 26 year old song that was left on the cutting room floor so I’m cautiously optimistic they have plans to release it! BOMT has always been my favourite Britney album, I’m so happy we have this and a little mad it took so long! :wub: LRLKS9q0RIY

I get that feeling too, but god knows why, it’s not 2019 anymore he’s hardly a big draw and Taylor Swift surely hardly needs him!

I don’t feel like Fortnight has had much impact - obviously the first week numbers are huge! But it seems like more of a Cardigan than an Anti-Hero

I’m honestly quite shocked all we’re seemingly getting from this era is 3 singles (2 videos). Hold On To Now’s release was so botched it hardly even counts as a single, the era was basically done the day the album was released. It’s really not like BMG to just release the album and move on, the Disco and Golden eras seemed to go on forever. I don’t know but she did very well to get a top 10 and a top 20 hit, would’ve been nice to see them try to keep the momentum up.
