Spotify are strange. Why put this as a banner (I know it's sponsored, but still) but not HHUK? Either that or RCA are strange, and paying for the this (presumably short term banner) in favour of a HHUK placement. Lol

Aside from "how do you describe the feeling?" fitting with that slogan... 'In My Arms' is an odd choice of song for a shoe shop. 😂

My vinyl has shipped, so physicals definitely all shipping this week which is positive!

This is my summary! I feared it'd be awful based on the clips, but I'm really enjoying it (country isn't really my thing). I'd take almost all of Midwest Princess over this - but almost all of that album is 10/10 - so I'm really not complaining!

It's 7 on A List Pop. Again, not dreadful! Will see if it gets bumped up. I always expected Chappell to be hoovering up the top playlisting (though did expect #1 on NMD for this, admittedly)

It's #3 on Apple New Music Daily behind new Chappell and Lizzo... That's not awful?

Yeah, the official version is fantastic!

I don't know if it will be... But I get the feeling that's where they're aiming! (and I'm hopeful it'll get there:. I have my vinyl on order anyway!)

I'm semi confident they're going all out with this... I'm expecting a HHUK add tomorrow. NMF probably #2 behind The Giver, though Apple will leave it at the top of NMD. Vid and physicals out tomorrow... I think they're really going to gun for a Top 10.

Omg so excited to hear it's been polished since the leak! It was already song-of-the-year material anyway!

I don't think they really have any rules to playlisting songs on Capital Buzz. I'm pretty sure they playlisted JADE's 'Midnight Cowboy' too (which wasn't a single).

I think... 10/10 01 Disease 02 Abracadabra 03 Don't Call Tonight 9/10 04 How Bad Do U Want Me 05 Vanish Into You 06 LoveDrug 8/10 07 Garden Of Eden 08 Shadow Of A Man 09 Perfect Celebrity 7/10 10 The Beast 11 Zombieboy 12 Die With A Smile 13 Killah 6/10 14 Blade Of Grass She really launched this album with the best two songs imo, and I still prefer Disease, personally: time will tell if they are leading due to familiarity though... (I personally don't consider DWAS to be the lead single as it was marketed as a standalone single at the time, and was not mentioned as part of this project, where Disease always was marketed as being part of this album) LoveDrug is massively underrated I feel! To be honest, it's difficult to rank most of these as it really is a great album!

Another day, another variant. 🤣 The Dentist (Neon Pink 7") Same tracklist!

The backing track to this is exactly the same as 'Somebody That I Used To Know' with zero deviation to the structure, right? This is the first Doechii song I've cared for, but I think that's entirely because I'm hearing Gotye simultaneously!

I think it's nice for it to feel complete though! I always used to stick the stickers onto my CD jewel cases too!

Just curious what everyone does with any hype stickers that are stuck to the polythene... I store my vinyl in protective outer sleeves and stick the hype sticker on there. I feel like the sticker is part of the packaging and like to preserve it where possible! I'd imagine keeping it would also help with resale value if I ever felt like selling it too (if only as an indicator that the record is well looked after!)

Another two variants available to preorder... The Lawyer (Aqua Blue 7") The Plumber (Blue / White Swirl 7") The Private Investigator (Silver 7") The Construction Worker (Neon Orange 7") All with the same tracklist! A side: The Giver B side: Fix It In The Morning (Demo)

Was just about to mention the cassette prices. I haven't bought any of them because of the price... I can't think of a world where a cassette should be more expensive than a CD and the same price as a vinyl 😂 The vinyl, however, is reasonably priced. So I'll stick to only the vinyl again! Great artwork 😍

If it's clearly described as such (and an order update is communicated when the details are finalised), I don't see how that would be an issue personally. In my view, it's similar to tours where you don't know what they'll perform or wear, but you're buying a ticket regardless! Same goes for kickstarter campaigns etc... People can then decide if they want to order it based on how much or little information is currently available... But it makes sense not to, if other artists have run into trouble... The issue there lies with consumers not paying attention to what they've ordered. Lol

On top of what I said in the 'FUFN' thread... It's not a bad shout waiting for the BRITs effect to die down to launch FUFN. However... Not having an album announcement or preorder up to hook in the casuals is just C R A Z Y. There is almost zero chance of the album being shelved (following a BRIT win and that performance), if you want as many people to buy the album in this day and age, you need to make it easy for casual fans to find when it's on their mind. The performance will be long overshadowed by something else by the time a preorder is up - even the morning after is too late, really. Album artwork/title/tracklisting/precise formats not ready? Who gives a flying f****... You don't even need that for a webstore pre-order: "Standard Vinyl" / "Standard CD" / "Standard Cassette" "Artwork being finalised" "Title TBC" "Tracklist to be revealed" "Debut album by JADE, featuring the SMASH HIT 'Angel Of My Dreams', performed at the 2025 BRIT awards!" "Release date 16/05/2025" These can ALL be updated/added as and when the time comes... Release dates don't really matter in the grand scheme of things. RCA really are useless. 🤣 * It's not like anyone that does care even has the option to order as it stands, so they wouldn't exactly be losing out!

Finally had a chance to watch this performance... OH. MY. GOD. It was EVERYTHING. One of the best TV performances I can recall seeing. She is a STAR.

To be fair, I see the logic in waiting until the BRITs storm has died down for a proper announcement/release! I'm not in any danger of getting bored of it, either way: this song is the epitome of my favourite songs ever, and (at the grand old age of 34) I can be certain this is going to be on high rotation in my ears for the rest of my life! I'm not even being hyperbolic here 🙈

I hope I like the full thing... I'm not loving the clip that was teased on tiktok... I'm glad it doesn't sound like more of the last album... But I wouldn't have been sad at that either 😂

I haven't gone overboard... This is the first Gaga album I've bought since Born This Way though (and the first on vinyl!) I was torn between the hot pink and the 180g... In the end I settled on the hot pink as I actually like the artwork on that one (despite the 180g having a bonus track and heavyweightness).

Ok I need this released now plz Thirlwall. I just want it in my apple music library so badly and refuse to download it so have to go to the sketchy website when I can listen to it whenever I want to listen to hear it
