Imaginary Friend Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Yeah it always made sense to release the album earlier but now it's undeniable. Hope she can work out the logistics and push it up a week or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrion_LMG Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 She's in a very bad position right now. If she moves the album ahead she has Ava, The 1975 and Tove Lo. The other option is to move it two weeks ahead or push it a week later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supervillain Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 She should release this either late September, early October or early November. Every other week is packed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was never gonna pull big numbers to begin with. It's less about chart placement and more just about music fans (and the press)'s mental space and capacity. A Taylor album is going to dominate conversation in pop culture for the entirety of release week and completely shove Carly's album into a black hole.

Heartbreak Prince Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I can see her moving the release up a week (if she has the vinyls ready) to cause gay meltdown with this, Tove and Ava all on the same day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boysdontcry Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I have conflicting feelings on her moving the album release. Is a Carly Rae album in 2022 going to challenge Taylor Swift for the #1 spot? No. Is it even going to debut in the top 20? Probably not. We're looking at a #30 debut with 12K first week units. Why bother changing the date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why bother changing the date. It's not about charts, of course. It's mainly because Taylor's release is going to capitalize everything, from pop listeners (and that could even affect her streams-wise for example) to critics who may end up skipping Carly's release or just highlighting it less than they normally should.

The tour being before the album is released, the album coming out in the middle of the tour.... she needs to move it a week up or so.

BlackoutZone Posted August 30, 2022 Author Share Posted August 30, 2022 The album release date is dependant on physicals production which we know how slow is nowadays while tour is dependant on venues availability and transport logistics, I guess it's hard to coordinate them perfectly for smaller artists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obsession Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) It makes sense for Carly to move the album up because her listeners almost completely overlap with Taylor's, they virtually occupy the same lane of pop music. It's not necessarily about the sales per se, but for Carly, this really runs the risk of diminishing the amount of people who do check out the album that week.

Totami Legend Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 She needs to push the release up a week. This has nothing to do with sales. In the age of streaming the debut week is crucial for the lifespan of an album cause everyone will move on to new stuff as soon as possibile.

Tyrion_LMG Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 The problem about the artists bunched between 7th-21th October is that they are not big sellers, but their success depends mostly on critics and first week talking. Taylor is going to capitalize everything, being in the spotlight. Artists like Tove, Ava or Carly are good examples of this. I will listen to all of them, but it will be difficult to dive into their art as much as I wish. October is literally a battlefield. I wish Dirt Femme was released this summer.

Hopefully, the shorter songs don't have the same problem as Beach House. I love that song, but it was edited down to be too short. The second verse needed another line, and the last chorus needed to go on a little bit longer, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
