Eh I don't care that much about Drake's release. Yeah he could potentially block this, but I think great numbers are more important than the actual #1.

I feel like the hype isn't quite there, Vampire is dying and bad idea right? is doing just ok and won't push the album at all. They better have something planned in the next 10 days (including a new single launch).

nah

i mean.. the hype is there, with the livies and pop listeners. but with the gp, it isn’t quite there or not on the same level as SOUR pre-release. at least we can be sure physical sales are going to be better this time, fans have already ordered and vinyl are shipped upon release. they’ve been promoting the variants for weeks now.

 

anyway, the advantage of the lack of g4u levels of hype for now is that there’s possibility the album won’t peak during release. one of the yet to be released songs could still smash or find its way to the gp. like traitor & happier (in SEA).

Hype is no where near SOUR levels.  Releasing bad idea right was still not a smart decision.  She/her team are smart but that was dumb.  
 

Im a little worried this album is going to be too loud for the GP.  I’m also worried it won’t be serious enough for her fans because she said it was very playful.  

It seems like she has plenty of serious songs/ballads on the album… Teenage Dream, Pretty Isn’t Pretty, Making the Bed, Lacy (probably), The Grudge (possibly)

She'll be fine 

Glad she trusted her GUTS  rather than be GP-dependent

the Vampire era was a smash, from the brilliant music to the clever promo, but everything after that has been a TRAINWRECK  it was just crickets after it and then suddenly #that mid song dropped out of nowhere and crickets again. She better have a KILLER single to go with the album to leave NO crumbs

I kinda don't care about the chart performance because no matter how well she does she will get called a flop if she doesn't sell 1 million in the first week since everyone has unrealistically high expectations for everything she does  it's like how they consider vampire a flop even tho it's a #1 hit but songs from other pop girls that barely peaked in the top 30 are considered smash hits by those same people  

I'm wondering if her switch of managers is what's lead to this absolutely dreadful comparison of promotion between eras. Olivia was everywhere during the sour era between MTV Interviews, regular social media posts and magazine covers. She didn't even need late night shows!

 

Her team better start working, GUTS is already infinitely better than SOUR in terms of quality and it hasn't even released

Yeah I was worried about the change of management but seems like Olivia is adopting a different strategy this era. 

I'm sure Olivia will be everywhere once the album is released.

i just want get him back! to blow some life into this album cycle again. bad idea right low key took the hype away a bit. her being silent on this release isnt helping much either.

She better announce something today. Get the album campaign started! I'm fine with the new single being released even with the album, but release some quick lil snippet on TikTok in the meantime.

She better start promoting today , otherwise she will debut at #2

BIR flopping probably kinda annoyed her

no song/single is flopping

 

MY GOD

the lack of noise is kinda worrying. hope they have something planned as we’re so near. we went from cash washes, sour patch kids, snl (though ok i know not possible, but what happened to performances) sour prom, etc to this

she'' have TODAY Citi Summer Concert on NYC on album release

So Olivia went and did a bunch of UK radio promo but didn't do a radio 1 live lounge? is she insane? live lounges are like a write of passage for artists. Every artist from Lana to Adele to Tay have done them.

If that messy bottom releases on the same day as her...

here's to hoping she performs at the VMA's 

She needs to release a single this week, BIR made no noise 

Like I've said time and time again, as long as the music is good, I don't care if GUTS is #1 or #40. 

She will post something at 12pm EST and make us all look dumb for worrying

yeah, my prediction was so off. i thought that was why she was in UK

 

the lack of live performances this era is appalling quite frankly. we had one & it was basically a studio live recording tbh.
