Probably - she's doing this by herself so it'll come up when it comes up basically.

I'll probably get the 7 CD version + CD/DVD.

Alexis Strum thread - 2002 Xenomania album now released!
@1641417369355468800 Glad to see artists who got eaten up and spat out in the music industry taking things into their own hands! I loved Cocoon (the album) and was gutted when it was cancelled. Stay Until Summer is amazing. Her Xenomania stuff was also great (Still Standing was of course recorded by Kylie and someone recorded an inferior version of Nothing Good About This Goodbye; surprised Xenomania didn't recycle more tracks from that).

Spice Girls • General Discussion
100% this :kink: I remember thinking Kylie having success in the US at the grand old age of 33 was late in the game, now I'm like, that's not old at all. :heehee: In all honesty, these age posts are just giving me anxiety now.

Disremembrance ● 25 years on
Yeah, I think no matter what they released after All I Wanna Do would've given Girl a chance / longer chart-run with the odd release pattern. With that said, I do think she could've scored another hit single or two; Movin' Up might not be a fan favourite, but it always felt like it was stuck onto there as a safe hit. I can't help but think Everything I Wanted was chosen due to Dannii's boyfriend at the time shooting the video for cheap.

Disremembrance ● 25 years on
I think it's hard to say considering with the odd release pattern the album and Everything I Wanted had - with that said, Eternal struck me as having the same issues as AATW (and other dance labels), ie they knew how to roughly market hit singles but were completely lost when it came to albums. I think Disrememberence would've at least gotten more airplay if released after All I Wanna Do; if that had led to more success for the song that Everything I Wanted is something we can only speculate on, but I'd like to think it might've ended up in the lower top ten (the album still would've bombed though).

Louise - Greatest Hits
I kind of expected these "reworks" to be "acoustic" versions; glad to hear I'm wrong because it's a bop and a half now. :music:

United Kingdom · Eurovision Song Contest 2023
That was a dreadful performance, not really helped by the heavy echo and her cold, obv. Nice thing: the animations on the screen looks good, but I hope this isn't a preview of her overall performance as it needs to be big to sell the song.

I Thought They Went Top 10!
Fergalicious actually peaked at #105 due to them cancelling the single.

Smoke 2 Seven - Crazy Tale (2003)
I think the issue is that none of the songs are really that type of "breakthrough hit" material. Been There Done That is probably the strongest of the bunch (but then again, I'd assume it was given extra attention once it was picked as a single). Still, some tracks could've been cute album tracks for other pop artists at the time; I think they needed more diversity though (both production and lyricwise - it's all very "we're fierce girls and you suck").

Smoke 2 Seven - Crazy Tale (2003)
I thought there was a thread about this, but guess not... A while ago, Smoke 2 Seven's "debut" album was released digitally on streaming services. They were best known for their flop singles Been There Done That (#26) and Envy (#79). f-E1Ojg9Epk hTCk5bC9lVc Obviously, the album is in itself not entirely finished - it probably would've received a bit more production on it if it had been released. As it is, it is sort of samey throughout and I don't think there's any missed breakout hits on there - "Lizzies" is nice, as is "Kinda Unstuck" and "Crazy Tale". I assume "Too Late For Sorry" would've been the third obligatory girl group midtempo single, but again I couldn't really see fare better than the previous singles. Tracks 3-13 currently has under a 1000 streams on Spotify, so why not give it a go and give help give these poor flops an official stat :lol:

FLO feat. Missy Elliott - Fly Girl
Considering how much they've hustled over the past year to build their following it would be incredibly satisfying to see this properly impacting the chart. They've clearly put money into this, hopefully it won't be entirely disorganized promotionalwise.

Why would they bother registering a 20+ year old track if they didn't intend to release it? ETA: it could of course be ASCAP just adding old files / documents to the database.- FLO feat. Missy Elliott - Fly Girl
