ChooseyLover Posted January 5 Posted January 5 I've just seen an Avril mass leak is happening. I'm scared. What's going on?! Certain users on that leak site say it's the mastering producer doing this to her and that there's someone out there trying to sell a 50 AL8 tracks folder... 1

Hoping it's just stuff she already wanted to scrap anyway.

Timeless Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Would You Wait might honestly be one of my favourite songs by Avril. It's such a shame it got leaked now it will never have an official release This is the I'm With You 2.0 that could've got the GP talking again
Timeless Posted January 5 Posted January 5 D!CK would've never gotten released because it's so explicit and so unserious but I love this song so much it's so fun and funny Pretty Ugly and Classy B*tch are excellent as well. I just love the LS punk rock sound. Seeing Red is one of the best out of all the AL8 leaks as well. Possibly my favourite collab of hers after Bois Lie. Playette has such huge potential if it was finished. I love the chorus. These were defo the highlights from the AL8 leaks for me.

These leaks happened when supposed to release materials got shelved. Avril probably moved on from these materials when she originally promised these will get released, so the producers leaked it. I still don't get why she refused to release a AL8 with these materials, even these materials aren't there with AL7, it will still benefit her career as for now, more frequent release is better than none. Plus, she can choose three songs to tag along with her GH even she refused them as AL8….. 1

Perhaps it would've been a mix of the LS outtakes and the newly recorded AL8 pop punk/rock songs that were recorded in 2022/2023 based on leaks. She said the album was done in February 2023, which was also the same month that her and Mod Sun later broke up so I think all plans for that was scrapped. I don't think any of the new leaks were recorded in 2024 so AL8 probably sounds different now.

I'll listen to the leaks later, hopefully they'll sound like they were rightfully scrapped.
greeneyedsoul Posted January 5 Author Posted January 5 The original AL8 was basically LS 2.0. Then after breaking up with Mod Sun, she wrote those breakup songs, but too much time passed, and she moved on from them too. She didn't feel inspired enough to start recording AL8 for the third time and ended up going on the Greatest Hits tour instead. The first part of 2024 (before the tour) would've been her chance to record something new, but nothing seems to have come from it (or is really good and is hidden somewhere to not get leaked).
Blankspace2010 Posted January 5 Posted January 5 2 hours ago, KKCuteCat said: The inflated sales of GL and AL GL is not inflated - it actually sold impressively well and consistent streaming of its tracks have helped it be consistent.
greeneyedsoul Posted January 5 Author Posted January 5 I used to love leaks and would collect every single one, but now I've come to hate them since they're not on streaming. I remember Won't Let You Go was even my most played song the year it leaked, but I just can't be bothered anymore. Based on what people are saying, some of the songs from this AL8 sound really good, so I'll probably give them a listen.

I think, @KKCuteCat assumed it was purely a sales chart since Let Go is so far ahead of her other albums, which makes sense at first glance. But if that were the case, The Best Damn Thing wouldn't rank higher than Under My Skin. We just need her next album to outsell HAW and LS somehow.

I know it's the SPS but 4,6 millions for GL is still a bit high imo. And did Let Go sell over 2 million units the last 3 years?

As always I wont listen to any leak.... If I resist listening the Love Sux leaks back in 2022 I wont listen to any of this year leaks. Yes things are not looking good for AL8 i Blame her being at a basic label... DTA records is cheap... she need a New team & label for AL8.

The leaks were not removed by DTA, Elektra nor Warner. She probably had an one album deal and would've released the original AL8 with them back in 2023.

PokiTails Posted January 5 Posted January 5 LS will eventually pass HAW thanks to streams And that's with just the standard edition!
PokiTails Posted January 5 Posted January 5 I've fully embraced SPS because based on Spotify, the most I've ever listened to 1 track was Michelle Branch's All You Wanted (88 times in 2023) so 150 streams = 1 track sale seems very reasonable to me. that would mean an album with 10 tracks needs 1,500 streams spread equally across every track = 1 album sale. I know damn well I've never played any of my CDs 150 times from start to finish.

Unrelated but... can we appreciate how good Would You Wait is? Edited January 5 by ChooseyLover

I just went to the label's pages on social media and it looks like all the posts on IG were deleted while the last update on X was 2022. Their best selling artist was MGK so i'm not really surprised if the label was bankruptcy.
PokiTails Posted January 6 Posted January 6 The way every album after UMS was released under a different label but her contracts are always so GOOD! (Except GL where she got forced to do more upbeat flops) Greatest Hits was under Sony like TBDT so maybe she can be with them
