Alex Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 Boasting 23 tracks, SOS seemed to be one of the first song-packed albums by a female artist released in the mainstream for a while. While most of the 20+ track albums we see today are released by male rappers, it's refreshing to see a lot of new material from a female artist for once, especially if you have the range to pull off an album with so many songs and not a lot of skips. Will this follow in more pop girls / r&b girls being willing to release longer albums? Usually the maximum is around 16 songs these days but I wouldn't mind if they would start giving us more (if the quality is there ofc). Thoughts?
PoisonedIvy Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 ? Scorpion started this ages ago. It’s the formula Taylor and others have been following for streaming era releases.

While I love SOS, I prefer somewhat shorter albums (not with short songs though)

Yea for big albums Drake Taylor have done it before and double albums like Morgan wallracist and many other smaller artists have done this too What a weird ass OP Edited January 17, 2023 by Starchild
Material Girl Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 the girls are already doing this taylor has filled her most recent releases with 20+ tracks to pad the streaming numbers, and dua adds songs as she goes to inflate numbers too
305 Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 Let's hope not. That album has so much filler, it would've been better at 13-16 tracks
KatyPrismSpirit Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 I hope so. Long albums are always fun.

Taylor does it with deluxe editions though? i'm talking about STANDARD albums being 20+ tracks now.... let's not be dense

dynasty Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 i used to prefer short albums for cohesiveness but sos is such a great album with barely any skips (except f2f and forgiveless ). more artists should do it only if they provide quality tracks.
OrgVisual Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 It's already a trend like .. More songs = more streams. It's not rocket science

popularmoonlight Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 I feel like this has been a thing already within R&B/Rap music (Still Not Over It also has 20 tracks for example). However, I don't really enjoy albums this long considering they quite often include not so good tracks (there's like 5 tracks I don't use in SOS). I prefer them to be 18 tracks max
wantedyoutogrow Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 I hope not, 16 tracks max is perfect imo
