base talk Randomize an era

[305]

I've done this in the past but thought it would be fun to bring back!

 

Pick an era of any album of your choosing, input the track list into this website : https://www.random.org/lists/

Then post the the "singles" according to how many songs were released from that album

 

How would this new era fair with the real one?

[305]

I'll start.

 

Planet Her

1. "Naked"
2. "Get Into It (Yuh)"
3. "Need to Know"
4. "Options" (featuring JID)
5, "Been Like This"

Not bad

 

1. "Good 4 U"
2. "Favorite Crime"
3. "Hope Ur OK"
4. "Deja Vu"

Can't imagine Drivers License not being the lead, let alone not being a single at all, but this seems good

[Saddy]

Glitter
1. Loverboy Cameo

2. Never Too Far

3. Don't Stop (Funkin' 4 Jamaica)

4. Reflections (Care Enough)

 

(not randomizer putting actual singles first lol)

 

ISON

1. Hero

2. Shahmaran

3. Do You Feel Real

4. Libertine

 

No Name

1. Mara

2. On My Skin

[Achilles.]

I did Lover thinking it couldn’t possibly be worse than the actual single choices, and it gave me Soon You’ll Get Better for the lead single.

 

Needless to say, I tried again. 
 

1. Afterglow

2. Cruel Summer

3. Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince

4. The Archer

 

very midtempo singles run, wouldn’t have suited the album very well. 

[HausOfGerard]

Norman ******* Rockwell singles:

 

1. Venice *****

2. Hope is a Dangerous Thing 

3. The Greatest

4. Happiness is a Butterfly

5. Doin' Time

6. Norman ******* Rockwell

 

Pretty much what she released from this excellent album

3. close to you

4. needed me

 

I don't see James Joint doing well lmao

 

 

[GentleEarthquake]

Lana Del Rey's LFL

 

1. Cherry

This would actually work as a lead

2. Change

Would work as a little promo single

 

3. White Mustang

4. Coachella

 

[Sanctuary]

The Fame

1. Summerboy

lowkey could have been a surprise Summer smash

2. Brown Eyes

probably wouldn't have even charted 

3. Beautiful, Dirty, Rich

maybe a minor radio hit...?

4. I Like It Rough

DOA

5. Paparazzi

Too little too late, a kii that we still could get the VMAs performance in this timeline though

gaga over before she started

[Rei]

Taylor’s best album REPUTATION.

 

‘Gorgeous

‘…Ready For It?’

‘Dancing With Our Hands Tied’

‘So It Goes…’

 

Would’ve smashed equally since every single track is single worthy.

 

K bye for now, Sunshine. <3

[JohnWayneHolland]

Chromatica (she only released 2 singles but since she made 3 videos I'm going with that number) 

 

1. 1000 Doves

2. Enigma

3. Free Woman

 

 Chromatica is already her worst era but this would've made it even worse 

[EnigmaticAndroid]

Born This Way:

1. The Edge of Glory (would've been bigger as a lead than BTW tbh)

2. The Queen 

3. Government Hooker (a Judas moment)

4. Electric chapel (would've bombed )

5. Americano 

 

[JoeAg]

1. Hounds of Love

2. The Big Sky

3. Cloudbusting

4. Running Up That Hill

 

hmmm I feel like Running Up That Hill WOULD still have at least 3/4 of the impact it has today being a fourth single, but at the same time I can't imagine it finding nearly as much success as a hit being the fourth single

like I could imagine it being the second single, but still pre-release, and getting chart success. like imagine if Hounds of Love were an early summer single and then Running Up That Hill were released a week before the album drop. that would be kind of iconic
