Yeah, it's wild. Fortunately, Jack had the last laugh on Lover as Cruel Summer kinda became the biggest song in her discography. 

Oh would you look at that, Jack producing two very different classics (CS and Lover song) for her...but they told me all his songs sound the same! :eddie: 

 

They'll never make me hate the producer of August

People who are now whining about rep tv will cry later this year about how they love TTPD and would sell their souls to listen to it for the first time again. The true magnum opus is upon us!!!

Hear me out, a music video for Clara Bow in which she is portraying a mid-20s singer/actress rocking thin and downward eyebrows, 20s heart-shaped lips and all the other prominent features that can be given to a flapper. And as the video progresses, she can slowly move back to the present and kinda connect the dots and in a way compare her own life to Clara Bow's or her character's in the video. While the 20s parts of the video are sepia and the present parts are in colors. :jonny5:

It’ll be April 17th and we’ll still have people in here saying “a proper lead single is imminent” :suburban:

 

I mean, this will be her 8th project since she last released a proper lead and we’re still discussing that as a possibility? ddd :clack: 

When you put it like that nnnn :deadbanana2:

Omg, Idk what happened but i always thought The Man was produced by Hack :rip: I had to go on Internet Archive to make sure the Wiki wasn't edited :rip: 

Wtf :deadbanana: i was there during Over, & would've seen the producer list, how tf did i end up convincing myself Hack produced it :deadbanana:

 

And HOW did she pick 3 Joel Little songs to be singles :deadbanana2: ME, YNTCD, & TM.

Is this song kinda smashing? :dies: I was too butthurt about Now That We Don't Talk not getting the attention this one got that I never followed its chart run.

It's been very below the radar, but it's had a reasonably consistent Hot 100 run (it's been top 20 since Christmas) and I hear it on the radio basically every day :deadbanana4:

 

The streams aren't... setting any records, but I'd say it's reached a similar level of cultural permeation as, say, Karma.

Not bad to be honest :dies: I certainly don't expect vault tracks to do anything on the charts so the fact that it turned into a medium sized hit is a surprise

If we’re getting a couple of big pop moments (the IKYWT/WANEGOD of this supposed Red 2.0), I hope at least one of them is as scorching as Anti-Hero. “And life will lose all its meaning… For the last time” elicited a loud gasp when I first heard it. Similar to “Could’ve followed my fears all the way down” in TIMT. Her s*icidal pen is so powerful. :busted:

I agree. I think we will. I wonder if Frank/ Louis will be producing more than just one track/ if it will be the single.

Kind of insane that now Jack has produced her 2 biggest hits… CS & AH. We know frank, Louis, Aaron, and Jack are on the album. I wonder if the tea from 6 months ago by deuzmoi about her working with new producers is true

I'm just pleased it's doing this well on pop radio (the girls that track it have been sure it was about to stall out like seven times already), so the fact that Karma -> Cruel Summer -> Is It Over Now makes 40 consecutive weeks in the pop radio top 10 (Karma entered the first week of June), and that Is It Over Now should stay in the top 10 long enough for the TTPD lead to join it and we make it to a full consecutive year is the best thing about its success in my opinion.

 

 

Also, for being not huge, it's done remarkably well at thriving somewhere in the public consciousness well under Cruel Summer.

Honestly thank you Tiktok? It was everywhere on there, discussions about its subject etc. I'm kinda worried for the missed opportunities that will face TTPD if this Tiktok ban isn't lifted :chick3: Not necessarily for a song to go viral but because it's THE app that carries pop culture discourse especially new music releases.

Oh I have a feeling she'll put up an unofficial live cover™ or endorse one of the fan-made sped/slowed versions of the chosen lead to circumvent the UMG issues if they haven't been resolved by April :gaycat4:

here's how i see it :bird:

 

April 2024: TTPD

 

September 2024: Rep TV (to compensate for not originally releasing it on an even number year)

 

March 2025: Debut TV (around the same time Fearless TV was released to close the rerecords chapter)

 

sometime 2025: Eras Tour/Rerecords documentary or docu-series or she just takes a break until TS12

 

2026: TS12 + Superbowl

She could release Rep in September and then announce Debut TV in the final show

Is it Over Now just hit #1 on pop radio. It will likely get dropped hard now that that's achieved but it was a proper radio smash.
