You ladies ready to have a buying party next Friday? I’m not sure that I necessarily believe it - I think it’s pretty clear this week was Nicki’s attempt for a big boost and next week is Britney’s & Elton’s. But the dates are what I’m expecting.

I'll buy again on Thursday for that last day boost.

I just know this will come to slap us in our faces unexpectedly  Queen has been busy and this is the one thing I don’t doubt will come. Didn’t The Weeknd post about it himself? Idk when the show is coming, but there’s no denying this.

 

OT: Can’t wait for the extended mix and video 

Yes, this news was out this Spring so I'm not sure it's in the HMC, thread.

 

If Britney gives us that threepeat this Fall chile

HMC

Weekend feature

Resurgence of My only wish this year

 

[Trash]

I want her to release a solo song, but if it's The Weeknd i don't mind another collab 

 

 

[Hector]

^ This could be huge if the show goes viral right away.  

[Asparagus Spears]

I knew as soon as the photo came out with Sam and Abel that she would be making an appearance in the show. I really think Britney’s been quietly working away for the last 10 months. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if we get an album sometime soon. I can definitely see a collab with The Weeknd and Britney. Let’s hope it’s true. 

[nathanspears]

I did find it... odd... how quickly Hold Me Closer seemed to happen. It was recorded and released in pretty much a month??

 

Maybe she has been working for longer than we realise.

[Green]

Do you all think Elton's team will submit Hold me closer to the Grammys? 

 

Last year he didn't submit Cold Heart ( I don't know if it was eligible because it was remix)

I forgot to check Singapore and Croatia the last time

OMG if Britney gives of a The Emancipation of Mimi comeback buildup rollout:

She flopped with a quality Glitter Soundtrack (album good/movie bad) = Glory

Mariah's feature on Busta Rhyme's I know what you want went top 3 and was an urban hit = Hold me Closer

before her album she put out another urban hit with rapper Jadakiss U make me wanna = Weeknd feature

Emancipation of Mimi = Emancipation of Brit Brit.

 

LET"S GO

Judging by some of the poems and writings she's given us it could serve as an outline and then get songwriters to flesh it out and since she's the principal writer she would get co-writing credit.

 

here for that. 

 

HMC might peak early November

The weeknd soundtrack rolls out in November

 

Give us a late spring/early summer B10 album vibes.

 

It seems HMC should have no problem going top 5 on top 40 but anything above that is icing on the cake.

I've heard it's ineligible but Hold me closer isn't a remix. 

 

I completely see him sending it for best pop/duo and possibly best dance song.

 

I don't expect a win but a return to nominations before she rolls out B10 and collects Best Pop vocal album in 2024 25 years after her muva did with Ray of light

 

[Eternium]

Let’s get those sales in. If we can get enough, we have a shot at a Hot 100 YEC entry  

[Ghiles]

iHeartRadio countdown (top 20 of the week) in 25 minutes, hope HMC makes it

[nathanspears]

Nice radio plays yesterday, 615 plays according to Soundcharts. 2nd highest again (1st being release day).

 

Should be another nice update, it miiiight be able to peak at 38. I'm not sure it will be able to go to 37.

Yeah, I don’t like these Sunday drops. Let’s ignore this one 

[hector.adriel]

Girl… that Spotify update, wtf is going on

 

At least radio is rising and sales are extremely stable, which is new for the Army since we haven’t gotten either since S&S. 
 

Hopefully the remixes and extended version at at least 600-700K streams overall and at least 200K+ streams in USA. 
 

We need the damn video sis, get on with it.

[nathanspears]

UK radio is starting to play upbeat songs again so I do think it’s realistic to expect something on Friday if it is happening.

I can't think of many logical reasons it drops on Sundays. I wonder if it's heavily influenced by the playlists and many businesses/workplaces/shops use them but when they aren't at work/open on Sundays, the streams drop? I have no idea

It's so weird and whatever it is needs to be fixed!

 

At least the drop in positions wasn't as big as last Sunday 

 

It has already outpeaked Make Me on Pop radio
