Happy 5th birthday to this absolute masterpiece :heart: Still sounds as fresh as it did five years ago, such a strong debut. She’s been teasing new music recently, can’t wait to hear that. Aquarius too 5~ 01 Bet 02 Aquarius 03 Feels Like Vegas 04 Cold Sweat 05 2 On

I’ve been listening to this quite a bit this week, pretty sure it’s my favourite of hers. The ridiculous rollout and drama over the chart position really tainted it at the time but it’s so strong. I wish Good Form had been the lead single though, would’ve loved to see it smash.

No Frauds and Massive Attack :heart: I’ve gone for Fly, The Night is Still Young and Bed of Lies this time.

I don’t mind about there being nothing from True Romance or Sucker, I realise she’s moved on from those. I’d have loved some Pop 2 and Number 1 Angel though, I need to see Unlock It and I Got It live. Can’t wait for Vroom Vroom :heart:

YES. One of her absolute best, which is saying something in itself. Perfect collaboration, it should’ve been huge.

Liam, I was the same a few years ago. I’d hardly listened to her at all but thought I’d make my way through her discography and there are SO many gems! She’s up there with my favourite artists now and The Velvet Rope is in my top 5 favourite albums. Definitely give that a listen, along with Janet. They’re both incredible albums. This would comfortably be my third favourite of hers. I love how she covers so many issues on it, and the production and feel of the whole album makes it so cohesive. Top 3 would be: 01 Love Will Never Do Without You 02 Rhythm Nation 03 Miss You Much Need to get it on vinyl now it’s been reissued :heart:

Noooo, I love Good Form! My favourite from Queen. Went with Fly / The Night is Still Young again 😴

It’s a bit HAIM too. Obsessed. Love that it’s out the week before Magdalene. October is spoiling us.

4/4 now. Absolutely adore So Hot... Those vocal harmonies :heart: Already one of my songs of the year alongside Ocean of Tears. Finally have a date for the album too, October 18th. I need it NOW, everything so far has been incredible.

Love both (although don’t think 1999 fits on Charli) – prefer 2099. Futuristic Charli >>>>>

Vroom Vroom garbage? Click garbage? Shake It garbage? And Miss U being singled out as one of her best..?

Can’t see it going too 5, surely that’ll just be the usual suspects (Ed, Post Malone, Taylor, Lewis Capaldi) plus Sam Fender? I’d love it to be her first top 10 album but I think it’s unlikely. I think somewhere from 13-18, could easily be much lower than that too though, it’s a tough one to call.

Barbie Dreams. Massive Attack will always be one of her best 😭

+20 Lana Del Rey – Doin’ Time +19 Miley Cyrus – Slide Away +18 Taylor Swift – Cruel Summer +17 Megan Thee Stallion (ft. Nicki Minaj & Ty Dolla $ign) – Hot Girl Summer +16 Lil Tecca - Ran$om +15 Jorja Smith (ft. Burna Boy) – Be Honest +14 Taylor Swift – The Man +13 Ariana Grande & Social House – Boyfriend +12 Normani – Motivation +11 Katy Perry – Small Talk

I feel like it existed first in some guise, but the Lizzo feature and updated production came after Track 10? It seems like one of those songs she wasn’t really happy with, so released Track 10 until she knew what she wanted (even though Track 10 ended up being far superior 🙃) Probably completely wrong but that’s my take on it

Take away Blame It On Your Love and 1999 and this is exactly the album I wanted from her. They don’t fit in with the rest (especially BIOYL coming after Thoughts...) Glad it ended up being so much better than the singles suggested. I can see why she released those though. From the first two singles I thought it’d seem watered down compared to the mixtapes but it doesn’t at all, great she could experiment on this as well. Can’t wait to see her do lots of these at Brixton, really interested to see who she brings out.

omg SHAKE IT

Only just noticed this! 01 Doing It 02 Famous 03 Break the Rules 04 Boom Clap

The Night Is Still Young and Fly for me

@1172185665917923329 That second one should’ve been the album cover :heart:

Had an email to say my vinyl has been dispatched. Can’t wait. I feel like I’ll love it after reading what Joe’s said about it. I was hoping it’d be more 2099 than 1999 or Blame It On Your Love, so that’s great. That’s the Charli I’m here for.

Charli/Christine and the Queens – Gone Carly Rae Jepsen – Too Much Miles Cyrus – Slide Away

I love it. So much more interesting than everything else from the album so far, will work so well as a closer. Those music box (?) flourishes in the production remind me of Björk’s Vespertine in places. Futuristic bop 🥳

Gone Cross You Out Warm February 2017 1999 Blame It On Your Love Have really liked everything but it’s not a patch on Pop 2 for me so far. Gone is the definite standout :heart:
