BravoTangoWhiskey Posted September 5, 2023 Posted September 5, 2023 I’m really happy we are blessed.mp3 with new music in various shapes and forms at this stage in her career as stans, we really are fortunate compared to many of her contemporaries. And the quality has largely been phenomenal (hey that’s why we stan her after all). However, I just wish there was more drive to get her music under people’s noses (despite awareness of difficult emotional situation and tv strikes difficulty - especially with the timing of the KCS slander story). There was some very welcome innovation with the DTY red flag collector discover the song strategy - I REALLY wish they used that moment to push the song as it could’ve been a cute summer single. Lighthouse has potential to “hit” if sent to radio later on in the year (or the start of 2024) so I’ll hold on to that (deludedly) as a moment they’re waiting to strike. I’m just frustrated that with all the tv strike extra time they didn’t do anything internationally (granted I appreciate its difficult to do *too much* with a young family, among all the other endeavours) but was an international performance of *a* song too much to ask for? London isn’t that far from NYC (only a bit further than vegas). Was it also too much to push something on international radio? Like BBC Radio 2 was playing RH upon album release (and also played FKOH), and was indicating it was waiting for something to be pushed (UK’s biggest radio station) Spoiler Well we did get one zoom call Aussie morning Tv interview so I probably shouldn’t expect more given that she didn’t even perform in Canada on the MoL tour. Anyways, I’ll hold my tongue/fingers now until roses comes out. I just really hope Atlantic do something to push it if it’s the intended single to relaunch the era. There’s the vegas concert, and we have the tv performances coming too (I think), so I just really hope this is a sign that they have a somewhat sustained strategy because the music we’ve had so far is TOO good for the GP not to really know it’s out. I’m a bit concerned though that there’s not even a hint of buzz even online for roses atm if it is coming out on Friday and Kelly has been in the public awareness sphere with the idol win anniversary. Under Atlantic they’ve given us great music, but no single of proper note (in terms of streaming - LSS did have a great MV and good digital download numbers), although B&B is probably platinum eligible or close to being so from streaming alone. WLW’s legacy streams really show it was destined to be a hit of released but they missed that ship. It’s almost like the opposite of rca (music was good but they went *hard* on the singles which carry the albums’ legacies and streaming - which is probably more financially beneficial as a memorable single is likely to generate other income and get people in seats at concerts). As it stands, chemistry is likely to end the year with around 80m Spotify streams (similar to what WCCA… got on Spotify last year - its second year), therefore as it’ll likely stagnate the further away from release unless a single properly takes off (mol only had 17m Spotify streams last year and LSS’ dailies are quite tragic at 13k - B&B is 40k for comparison), a pushed single that can reach 100m by the end of *next* year would be great return for the era all things considered in terms of promo so far. I still think lighthouse has the potential to be pretty big if done properly later, but I have high hopes for the deluxe rerelease (before a lighthouse release) if they can galvanise around it. Please Atlantic midnight rambling over, I just want more people to hear her music 2
BravoTangoWhiskey Posted September 6, 2023 Posted September 6, 2023 Really impressive figures from the vegas residency. Over $10m grossed https://x.com/allkceverwanted/status/1699222129453965382?s=46 2
Admiral Bobbery Posted September 6, 2023 Posted September 6, 2023 I knew the residency did well but wow, 1M average is amazing for theater venues.
BravoTangoWhiskey Posted September 6, 2023 Posted September 6, 2023 Just over half a day if it does come out in NZ
PieceByPiece_KC Posted September 7, 2023 Posted September 7, 2023 Curious to see if roses is really being released since there’s been no announcement
BravoTangoWhiskey Posted September 7, 2023 Posted September 7, 2023 (edited) It’s in NZ youtube now Edited September 7, 2023 by BravoTangoWhiskey
kelli101 Posted September 7, 2023 Posted September 7, 2023 Wait roses slaps could have easily have been the lead for this album. 1

BravoTangoWhiskey Posted September 7, 2023 Posted September 7, 2023 (edited) When it does go on Spotify, a reminder of what the partial numbers were and then the first day updates mine - approx 10,000 --> 515,345 me - approx 5,000 --> 209,893 mine remix - N/A --> 36,285 favorite kind of high - 8,454 --> 316,632 fkoh Guetta - 2,464 --> 88,669 i hate love - 5,420 --> 201,281 red flag collector - 3,689 --> 132,072 lighthouse - 14,997 --> 62,790 --> 126,001 (weird timings of release with the Wednesday mess) rock hudson - 3,970 --> 245,519 skip this part - 2,135 --> 103,842 high road - 1,576 --> 92,462 down to you - 1,381 --> 85,117 chemistry - 1,354 --> 79,312 magic - 1,171 --> 73,890 my mistake - <1,000 --> 61,884 that's right - <1,000 --> 53,448 mine belasco - 1,414 --> 26,568 (very different to the album release numbers) It seems that partial day numbers for single song releases seem to work like this for her (but I guess a lot depends on the playlisting for Australia and other countries who are ahead of UTC): 10,000 = approx 500,000 9,000 = approx 400,000 8,000 = approx 300,000 6,000 - 7,000 = approx 250,000 5,000 = approx 200,000 4,000 = approx 150,000 - although rh was a bit of an outlier with different playlisting, I suppose better UK playlisting than Aus/NZ 3,000 = approx 100,000 Edited September 7, 2023 by BravoTangoWhiskey

PieceByPiece_KC Posted September 7, 2023 Posted September 7, 2023 It’s a cute song. I see why it didn’t make the regular album but it’s fun!
BravoTangoWhiskey Posted September 7, 2023 Posted September 7, 2023 Recency bias, likely, but I think this is already in my top 5 faves from this album
Iverson Posted September 7, 2023 Posted September 7, 2023 It makes this label angry that doesn't move at all I don't know what they're waiting for to announce the next single soon, it's a huge disregard

Iverson Posted September 7, 2023 Posted September 7, 2023 I hope they don't shelve Belasco, like they did with the Nashville videos, I'm pissed that she has the MOL Tour in HD and doesn't release it, how can the neglect? Such a ridiculous team

Such a ridiculous team It's sad we didn't get that, we used to be able to get stuff through the fan club merch store like the smoakstack sessions and the miss indy live. Hopefully they have a plan
BravoTangoWhiskey Posted September 7, 2023 Posted September 7, 2023 (edited) NMF Aus/NZ is out... and roses is nowhere to be seen. Wow, her team ... edit, I'll hold fire as it could just not be showing atm, as the playlist says 81 songs but only 70 are showing atm Edited September 7, 2023 by BravoTangoWhiskey
