Blackout2006 Posted May 18 Posted May 18 4 minutes ago, TouchinFree said: oohh THAT DESCRIPTION NOW. So many points were made here. It's so interesting to see how she combines genres that are at vast distances from each other on the spectrum of music genres and somehow makes it a cohesive effort. I love messy albums but how do you navigate pulling off something like this? This entire album had me asking the question: "How on earth did she manage to do this?". I can't imagine starting a song with a simple melodic guitar-laden tune and ending it on the note of a club banger. Or immediately delving into a sappy 1980s-1990s pop-rock song after releasing some of the most experimental, innovative, and daring songs in her discography (CHIHIRO-BIRDS OF A FEATHER). The Diner is SUPPOSED to feel out of place, it should stick out like a sore thumb with its mid-00s Nelly Furtado/Britney Spears not being replicated anywhere in the album. Yet it still meshes so well with the sonic theme of the album??? It's so hard to pull something like this with finesse, but I guess that can explain Billie and Finneas taking their longest hiatus from music. Rich is truly the word to describe this album. Rich, unapologetic, and ahead of the curve 8

If BLUE and CHIHIRO can stay relatively stable while LUNCH does well on pop radio, that's a 1, 2, 3 punch 3
Green Posted May 18 Posted May 18 Lunch debuting at #2 in the UK with 847k streams The problem is that Espresso is so huge there right now In the US I think she could snatch 3 top 10 debuts if the numbers remain stable. Hopefully she debuts at #1 on the Billboard 200 (does anyone know if Taylor shipped more CDs of Tortured Poets?)

We will probably know by Tuesday-Wednesday if people are getting their May 31st CDs yet. I am VERY curious to see what Billie's pure sales are going to be at this point. Her online store sold out of their version of the vinyl in the US yesterday.

Hephaestus Posted May 18 Posted May 18 Just here to say that Lunch and Chihiro are the moment, like wow

To think that Greedy was #1 on Global Spotify for multiple days while doing 5 million - 5.5 million daily streams last November
liquiddiamonds Posted May 18 Posted May 18 Brazil stanning the whole album hard yesterday!! 4 songs inside the top 20?? Crazy 1 1
liquiddiamonds Posted May 18 Posted May 18 The whole album is inside the brazilian top 50. Never saw this before for an international act! She better come for a festival again 1
dreww Posted May 18 Posted May 18 Now all we need is LUNCH to become a hit, and CHIHIRO to serve stability. Honestly I'm not worried about GODhiro because it's so ***** viral. 3

Epica Posted May 18 Posted May 18 This is the album of the year, even of the decade dare I say. Masterpiece from start to finish. 1
Popular Post wish Posted May 18 Popular Post Posted May 18 I'm still kinda speechless, this debut is more than I could've ever asked for. She nearly doubled my original 38M prediction Everyone who stuck around through the HTE era should be feeling proud right now. Our girl really did THAT 27
