album Olivia Rodrigo - 'GUTS'

[Starkboy]

I give up, give up, I give up everything
I placed my bets and it's not worth anything
I give up, give up, but I keep comin' back for more, yeah

It don't mean a thing
God, love's fuckin' embarrassin'
Just watch as I crucify myself,

 

hey, hey, hey!

I see I didn't know there was a difference!

 

I got an ugly and lazy signature  

Naurrr

 

At least she took the time to hand sign them all instead of giving us a PERFECT autopen sksk

 

I'm happy with my signed CD (5 inch insert)

 

But I also ordered another 5 inch for one of my friends and it's a little bit sloppy

 

 

I'm hoping at least one of my 11 inch inserts will be BEAUTIFUL, either way, a 5 inch and an 11 inch will be going on my wall.

 

If you're unhappy with yours, it could be worth rolling the dice and grabbing the £12 bundle with the cassette (different to the one you already ordered, alternate cover) with the 11 inch signed insert, it's a bigger size so prettier to display and if ur lucky u could get a clean asf auto

partial day streams for recent mainstream albums that also had local midnight releases. 

 

sour - 953k (8 songs) - full day streams: 63M

happier than ever - 941k (11 songs) - full day streams: 35M

endless summer vacation - 430k (11 songs) - full days treams: 28M

harry's house - 4.2M (12 songs) - full day streams: 98M

guts - 2.1M (10 songs)

 

this bodes well for a +70M debut I think  but we will see. sour had like good 4 u pulling 13M streams by release day and guts doesn't have that going on right now.

We don’t know 95% of what happened.  The entire industry is rather screwed up after the blurred lines case.  However it’s a little telling that there are weekly 20 page threads about Olivia and Taylor but radio silence on Olivia and Paramore. 
 

Quite honestly, I think she was a little bothered in general by plagiarism narrative that started arising and was advise by her lawyers/pr team to stop mentioning a lot of artists.  Plus when you are starting out in the industry you don’t want to live in the shadow of another artist anyways.  

Olivia really needs to get into a minor scandal or date an actual celebrity.

 

It's really painful that the main thing that the media/gossip sites want to to talk about is the potential Taylor/Olivia feud which neither party has talked or written about at all but Taylor drives the click.  

 

Olivia deserves a more interesting narrative for this album but the media isn't interested in how much she likes rock music. She has done so many interviews but it seems like the only thing that gets aggregated is Olivia dodging Taylor questions.

Think you’ve nailed it on the head perfectly here. If only this could be copy and pasted every time it’s brought up 🥲

[Darkgalord]

I don't understand why 'pretty isn't pretty' gets so much hate. 

It's pop perfection.

Smasha

how much did HH do on its first day?

 

anyway partial day meaning no US yet right? so 2m is so amazing esp that this album doesn’t have a smash on g4u or AIW level. HH was more Global, so i have hope US numbers would add more to Olivia’s. i see GUTS doing more than SOUR’s 60m with 12 tracks, hopefully.

[illicit affairs]

Absolutely brilliant album! Get Him Back! and Love Is Embarassing are the best.

why is it deleted.. naurrr 

he probably realized that it's so out-of-character for him to post something about Olivia. Some of these big twitter accounts think that they're so much better than stan twitter..

not a random 20 something blonde brit to be the one giving her a 60

[wish]

My definitive top 5:

 

Making The Bed

Love Is Embarassing

Bad Idea Right?

Vampire

Pretty Isn't Pretty

 

Such an upgrade from Sour  Olivia def solidified herself with this album, imo

 

 

[QueenofCopyPaste]

Pretty Isn't Pretty

 

TODAY IT IS HITTING

 

Listening to it just transport me to the musical times especially the pop rock circa 2003-2014

 

and then it just gives me all the nostalgia and butterflies from the song alone, reminiscing how it is back then compared ot know

 

Idk what you did Olivia  but your music (particular this song) just sends me the outpour of emotions. it feels so cathartic

the PIP love!  pretty people finally seeing the light!  

[Starkboy]

I believe they kinda messed up the album strategy.

 

Vampire should have been released in May instead of July (basically). Releasing it in the middle of Summer didn't do it any favor.

then in July they should have pushed one uptempo rock-y song, either get him back!/bad idea right?/love is embarrassing.

the new single launch together with the album (and video release!) for making the bed.

[MaxMartin]

Get him back! deserves a big push cause that song is a HIT!

Lol.  This is funny and I kind of agree. But then also she would run into the same narrative of she only writes about her boyfriends or whatever narrative people use for Taylor still. 

[Audiohead]

Rest of the singles should be:

 

Get Him Back!

Making the Bed

Love is Embarrassing

 

[lacy]

Me having an american oomf calling record stores to try grab me a signed booklet bc a signed 5' insert and a signed 11' insert wasn't enough for me

[Lord Of Countdown]

so the grudge is basically a ripoff of drivers license. kinda tragic

 

get him back! needs to be her biggest hit

The most accurate projection should be without counting the pre-release singles on the full day streams, as they are not counted in the partial day streams.

 

It would be:

 

Sour 953k - 39M (+24M from pre-release)

HTE 941k - 26M (+10M from pre-release)

HH - 4.2 - 84M (+14M from pre-release)

30 - 1.2M - 50M (+10M from pre-release)

 

Guts - 2.1M - ??? 

 

It's not crazy to think it can do 70M + 13M from pre-release: 83M overall

 

Edit: Gave it another thought and it wouldn't make sense for Vampire+BIR to do 13M (6.5M avg) and the rest of the album 70M (7M avg), as these two songs, alongside AAB, will be the highest charting ones. The partial day numbers for previous albums are a bit confusing.
