Rep_101

From what I've heard, she's getting a 2 min slot, if that. Unfortunately, I don't think she's going to get much of an impact from the half time show 😔

Really enjoying this. Very nostalgic for a new Kelly single. I still wish she returns to that pop-rock sound of Breakaway or a return to the sound of the Stronger album, which is personally my favourite album of hers. She needs more songs like Let me down, I forgive you, Breaking your own heart etc.

I thought it was a decent film but it definitely would have been better if it was a series where things could have been fleshed out more. It did feel a little rushed in places & alot of characters never got the chance to shine as much as they did in the series.

Think it may just fall short. Im thinking around 22/23 next week. That will still be a huge achievement for a Madonna album in 2026. I just hope she's got some stuff lined up for the remainder of the year to keep the album afloat as much as possible.

Such a good hold this week. I feel this album will linger around the 20 - 30 mark for quite a while & get the occasional boost when she does some promo. Bizzare definitely needs a push in some capacity!

I hope that once Rein Me In breaks the record, it starts to have its decline. We are desperately in need of a new number 1. Don't know what can be done but the OCC need to look at how to freshen up the charts.

I don't think Ghostin would have flopped in terms of sales/impact. I think it would have done a love me harder & charted slightly lower but would have had a cultural impact on her fan base. Come to think of it, I'd go back & change the Eternal Sunshine era as well in terms of singles. This is how I would have done it: Single 1 - We can't be friends (wait for your love). Released in January 2024 Single 2 - Supernatural. Released in April 2024. Album release 2 weeks after Supernatural. Single 3 - bye. Released in July 2024. Single 4 - Twilight Zone. Released in October 2024 Re-issue of Eternal Sunshine released in November 2024 followed by the Wicked soundtrack a few weeks later.

As Ariana has had so many successful eras since 2013, which era would you go back & re-live again & would you do anything different in terms album release, singles, promo etc? For me, I'd go back & re-live 2 eras: Dangerous Woman & Thank U, Next For Dangerous Woman, I'd keep the same singles other than Everyday which I would swap out for Greedy but may release them in a different order. My order would be: Into You Side to Side Dangerous Woman (I think this would have done so much better after the previous 2 singles) Greedy For Thank U, Next, the only thing I'd change is the amount of singles released. I would have made Bloodline a single in the spring before ending the era on Ghostin. I know it's such a hard song for her to perform live due to its content but I think the song would have allowed the GP to see there's more to her underneath the exterior. She wouldn't have needed to have perform or promote it.

I feel with it being 11 mins & with so many acts announced to be performing, its going to come across a little messy. Personally, id have just had the one performer as they do with the Superbowl. Madonna would have been a big enough draw on her own. Although, Shakira would have been appropriate as a solo performer as well.

I think Father Figure would have smashed as a single & the music video could have been absolutely incredible with an actual storyline e.g. 1960's gangster vibes

Which tracks on the album should have had the singles treatment? Music video, streaming support, radio play etc. Not including the 3 singles or the life of a showgirl as it's already charted.

I think they should have at least pushed How Bad Do U Want Me as a single in the spring. With the comparisons that were being made with Taylor Swift (particularly the 1989/rep eras), it would have got alot of curiosity listens which would have eventually helped turn it into a hit. Radio would have also have lapped that up as a single. I feel the same with the Chromatica era. I knew covid put a stop to alot that was planned for that era but they still could have pushed a couple more singles just to help shift the album. That era should have personally have went like this: Single 1 - Alice: music video being a dark theme to mirror Alice in wonderland Single 2 - Rain On Me: perfect video as it was. Single 3 - 911: same video, showing that GaGa gets pulled out of Chromatica when she's revived. Single 4 - Free Woman: video showing GaGa free from all the trauma & living her best life

I guess that's true but I was just thinking more on the visual side of things. As we know, a good video can help boost a song on the charts, especially if they play the Taylor game & make it Spotify & Apple exclusive for the first few days or a week even.

Although we can all agree that the Mayhem era was a huge success, I feel that it could have been pushed harder as a whole with my single releases & music videos. This is how I would have dealt with the era to give it more longevity in the upper part of the charts: August 2024: Die With A Smile (to build up the anticipation for the Mayhem Era) January 2025: Abracadra March 2025: Garden Of Eden March 2025: Mayhem album release May 2025: Vanish Into You August 2025: How Bad Do U Want Me October 2025: The Dead Dance October 2025: Mayhem Re-issue with 5 brand new tracks, including The Dead Dance December 2025: Shadow Of A Man This era definitely deserved to be pushed more with singles & visuals. I would have done the following promo stints: Coachella 2025 Glastonbury 2025 Grammy Awards 2025 (Debut performance of Abracadabra] Copacabana 2025 Saturday Night Live, March 2025 (Garden of Eden & Killah performances) The Jimmy Fallon Show, April 2025 (Performance of Vanish Into You/Perfect Celebrity) Graham Norton Show, October 2025 (Interview & performance of The Dead Dance/ZombieBoy) Either an ITV or BBC special airing in June 2025: Interview & 3 performances: Abracadabra, Vanish Into You & Blade of Grass Grammy Awards 2026 (Performance of The Dead Dance/Shadow Of A Man Brit Awards 2026 (Performance of Vanish Into You/Shadow Of A Man) Mayhem Ball: June 2025 - October 2025; February 2026 - June 2026

To break it down as a farewell tour, and not an eras style tour, I’d have gone with the following: Countdown: Weird people VT Wings Break up song A mess (happy 4 u) No more sad songs Costume change: Down & dirty VT Salute Gloves up Power Wasabi Costume change: Little me VT Secret love song Monster in me Love me or leave me Between us Costume change: How ya doin’ VT Love me like you Black magic Move Woman like me Costume change: Only you VT Sweet melody Touch Heartbreak anthem Confetti Final costume change: Breathe VT Shout out to my ex Exit song: Between us VT

I’ve always thought what the titles would be if she went with a different name for each & used a track title for all albums. Beautiful, Dirty, Rich or Starstruck (The Fame) So Happy I Could Die or Monster (The Fame Monster) Electric Chapel or Americano (Born This Way) Aura or Fashion! (ArtPop) Diamond Heart or Sinner’s Prayer (Joanne) Enigma or Replay (Chromatica) Perfect Celebrity or The Beast (Mayhem)

Just for fun, if Little Mix were to return for an eras style tour, what would be your ideal setlist? DNA Wings Change your life DNA How ya doin’ Always be together LM5 Wasabi Think about us Monster in me Only you Woman like me Get Weird Love me like you Black magic Hair Lightning Secret love song Salute Move Nothing feels like you Little me Towers Salute Confetti Confetti Break up song Holiday A mess (happy 4 U) Sweet melody Glory Days Power No more sad songs Reggaeton lento Touch Shout out to my ex The End Heartbreak anthem Between us

This is my idea for an eras style tour: Rated R Wait your turn Rude boy Russian roulette Hard Fire bomb Music Of The Sun/A Girl Like Me Pon de replay Break it off Unfaithful If it’s lovin’ that you want SOS Talk That Talk Where have you been You da one Talk that talk Farewell We found love Good Girl Gone Bad Don’t stop the music Disturbia Breakin’ dishes Good girl gone bad Umbrella Extras FourFiveSeconds Love the way you lie pt ii Wild thoughts Lift me up This is what you came for Anti Work Sex with me Love on the brain Needed me Kiss it better Loud Only girl (in the world) Man down What’s my name California king bed S&M Unapologetic Right now Jump Pour it up Stay Diamonds

These are the songs I’d pick from each album. In no particular order: Music of the Sun/A Girl Like Me Pon de replay If it’s lovin’ that you want SOS Unfaithful Break it off Good Girl Gone Bad Umbrella Don’t stop the music Rehab Take a bow Disturbia Rated R Russian roulette Rude boy Fire bomb Hard Wait your turn Loud Only girl (in the world) What’s my name S&M California king bed Man down Talk That Talk We found love Where have you been You da one Talk that talk Farewell Unapologetic Diamonds Stay Right now Pour it up Jump Anti Work Love on the brain Kiss it better Needed me Sex with me Extras This is what you came for Wild thoughts Love the way you lie pt ii

I’d replace Vanish Into You with How Bad Do U Want Me for the summer single. I think that will have the best chance of achieving a high chart position post-album release.

ArtPop Chromatica The Fame Mayhem Born This Way The Fame Monster Joanne Harlequin

How Bad Do U Want Me for commercial reasons, Garden of Eden due to pure nostalgia or Zombieboy for the video alone

I’d prefer Garden of Eden, How Bad Do U Want Me or Shadow Of A Man to be the next single. As long as Zombieboy is released in October in time for Halloween ☺️

With GaGa looking to announce the Mayhem Ball in the coming months, which songs would you like performed on the tour? Here’s my fantasy setlist: Revised Setlist Disease Paparazzi Vanish Into You Killah Sexxx Dreams Just Dance Shadow of a Man Applause Born this Way LoveDrug Don’t Call Tonight Million Reasons Blade of Grass Stupid Love Zombieboy Schiebe Alejandro Rain on Me How Bad Do U Want Me Pokerface Perfect Celebrity Bloody Mary Shallow The Beast The Edge of Glory Garden of Eden Bad Romance Abracadabra Die With A Smile This setlist would allow at least one song from each era to be performed & the theme for the tour would be “Chaotic Love”

Update: Shadow Of A Man Abracadabra Garden Of Eden How Bad Do U Want Me Zombieboy Killah Perfect Celebrity Die With A Smile The Beast Disease LoveDrug Don’t Call Tonight Vanish Into You Blade Of Grass Not a bad song on this album. Blade Of Grass is still a solid 7/10 for me. IMO, the singles from the album should have been as follows: Abracadabra (October 2024) Garden Of Eden (January 2025) Shadow Of A Man (April 2025) **Album Release** Promo Single: Perfect Celebrity How Bad Do U Want Me (July 2025) Zombieboy (October 2025) The Mayhem Ball would run from March - October 2026 with a solid 28 song setlist.
