I'm working on mine atm, but just FYI... I WILL be listening to these!!

A nice, fun little game. A lot of people seem to have an opinion that they would have liked the tracklisting to have been in a different order/not ALL the singles at the start of the album etc.. Current tracklisting order: 01. Angel of My Dreams 02. IT girl 03. FUFN 04. Plastic Box 05. Midnight Cowboy 06. Fantasy 07. Unconditional 08. Self Saboteur 09. Lip Service 10. Headache 11. Natural at Disaster 12. Glitch 13. Before You Break My Heart 14. Silent Disco Are you happy with it as it is or do you think it'd flow better in another order? If so, what is your order of choice?

'The Long Walk' is going to have surprising longevity I think. It's unfortunate it has gone up against both 'Downton Abbey' AND 'Demon Slayer', but I think this will hit big with students in the coming weeks.

Can 'Manchild' HURRY TF UP and go to ACR to make room for 'House Tour' please! Pleased to see Sabrina STILL with a strong showing of her album 3 weeks after release...!

They need to go ALL IN on Before You Break My Heart at this point I think! Especially as we have a Proms performance of it likely to be aired! Plus I think it’s the most likely “album seller” on the album and Q3 into Q4 will be a great time to promote it.

STRONG stability for the album in it’s 2nd day! That’s far more than I feared!

I still can’t properly order a ranking I am happy with but ‘Glitch’ really is such a smash. It’s fantastic. I feel that if any were to (they won’t coz ugh) take off on Tik Tok and become a hit, it’d be that one.

Interesting! How is this known? Omg.

That's just this era unfortunately. The way we consume things has changed so much :( I agree that it sucks but I don't even think TV performances work much anymore either due to people watching in their own time etc.. sure it helps with exposure but it's not the promotional tool it once was. It doesn't help that there's pretty much nowhere for artists to promote anymore either. Other than Q4 talk shows (and ofc awards shows) I couldn't name you one show where performers are invited on anymore. Long gone are the days of early morning GM:TV performance slots </3

Hold on to this... new thread coming *soon* (don't worry not quite JADE "soon" though ) I think Ed will definitely be above. I feel like Sabrina won't be above until maybe Tues or Wed mids and I actually think it's closer than we think between her and TOP... GAH. I'd like to say top 5 is more or less secured, but I have a feeling there will be a curveball or two lmao. Plus Ed's greatest hits will probably receive a strong boost. Not for albums we won't! Just top 20 singles today. Little streaming data in these though. I do wonder how many AOMD vinyl there were... Hmmmm

Omg this Silent Disco slander (which isn’t slander but is as slanderous as you can get about this album!!!!!!) It’s 2nd for me behind Self Saboteur I think lmao!

That bottom 3 though???? Am I the only one who thinks this album is actually getting so much better now that I’m becoming familiar with each track? (Really helps that I have literally listened to nothing else but this since release lol) There’s a sound she teased on this album but never more than just a tease (like in ‘Unconditional’) that I would love to hear her in that I never knew I needed to hear her in… Rock! She’d smash that sound.

It really does! — I’m just so overwhelmed by this album. So proud of her for actually managing to get an album out that feels true to her! I’m really excited for the 2nd album and to see which sounds she decides to stick with!

Omg Self Saboteur just 1k behind AOMD in daily streams!! SMASH PLZ OMG (I assume a lot of it is due to people skipping straight to Unconditional or even that to start their album listen through!)

The Urban Outfitters vinyl looks GORGEOUS! And so does the Spotify Green one!

What playlist exposure does this have? Is it charting on AM due to album hype or is it on Today’s Top Hits there?

I *like* Pixie's but it pales in comparison to Sara's!

This will surprise but... it's Xtinct for me!!! One of my absolute favourites from her and it's insanely underrated. It's GORGEOUS. I do LOVE 'I Turn To You' by Mel C too though...

If JADE can stay above TØP here and officially that will be a success imo! Omg. Plzzzzz! Edit: I suspect she won’t ofc!

Did it come across well during it? Considering it’s a young Jade singing the hook? Edit: Unrelated to above but the album is up to 4 on UK Apple Music! (He who shall not be named at #3 and TØP at #6) Have we all over estimated TØP and under estimated JADE slightly? 🤨

I think the sequencing only matters to fans tbh. But the casuals will probably only know AOMD, Fantasy, FUFN and Plastic Box (which all received radio support/promotion etc.. and some may have heard IG before but not realised it was her etc..) However, I do like to challenge myself and try and order the album as to how I would personally have done it. Which I may do after the weekend/a topic idea etc..

This album… whew. I can’t even “rank” it yet coz everything after AOMD being first will just feel “too low”. ‘Glitch’ is hitting really hard for me today though!
