No Sleeep

Stans make it impossible to have a balanced discussion about an artist these days. Of course Taylor’s album is doing great but it’s clear she doesn’t have the immediate mega hit single out of the gate with this album that many of us were expecting.

Spotlight by a mile. But I’m not familiar with the vast majority of those songs! Very good idea though, I’m surprised there’s so many

I’ve never had to worry about it since I only ever play from my own library :lol:

WCBF grew after release, Fortnight debuted massively and hasn’t stabilised since

I’m a bit disappointed neither Beyoncé or Taylor have been able to have a “We Can’t Be Friends”-style smash along with their album releases

Aww thanks y’all :wub: Funnily enough when I decided to do it I was thinking about how I couldn’t afford it when I saw Britney, and now I’ll probably never get the chance. I think I will keep it, it’s absolutely a bucket list thing for me and I’d hate myself for giving it up if I were to sell it

I was going to say, Prism had two of Katy’s biggest hits!

There goes her chance at a #1 album. Also think this kinda proves those of us who pointed out that she was underperforming so far weren’t wrong to acknowledge it.

Thanks for this, just bought it! Under the new £11.99 price it’ll be £143.88 a year, I imagine they’ll raise the price of the gift cards soon

Did she change the setlist at all in Brazil? Edit: oops nevermind I saw footage of her rehearsing on Twitter and assumed it was last night!

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!

Coming for a 17-OUT. Her Liberation era!

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

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.
