badgirlriri Posted May 24 Posted May 24 She should just build up a reserve of sales to put out on a quiet week. Crazy that the charts work like that nowadays but 8

It's an incredible sophomore album + better than her debut HTE was my faaavorite album for so long, so I feel you. I just wanna note that Billie's "negative comments" about HTE were kinda overblown by her antis this week - if you watch the interview, Finneas and Billie did state that they're very proud of HTE but admitted they could have spent some more time refining the tracklist and expanding the production. It's a fair assessment although I hope Billie will lighten up towards the album as years go by. It seemed like a rough time for her personally so I'd imagine that might have dampened her appreciation for the album/era as a whole. 12
Saintlor Posted May 24 Posted May 24 Decent album but the highs on HTE are much higher than the best songs on this album 1 1
badgirlriri Posted May 25 Posted May 25 I didn't take her HTE comments to heart, I think she loves her entire discography and is also always critical of everything she does which is ultimately a good thing because it's how her and Finneas continue to push themselves 6

Green Posted May 25 Posted May 25 I just noticed that Birds of a feather isn't even on TTH and it's doing great numbers on spotify 1
Gaia Posted May 25 Posted May 25 Birds of Feather being highest on AM and likely soon on Spotify US is wild. So organic! 3 smashes at the same time. Amazing really 4

My20sBlues Posted May 25 Posted May 25 I have a question, usually when I listen to the album on Spotify I listen to it 3 times in a row, do all these streams count?

Crazy that the charts work like that nowadays but wait this is genius, imagine she saves up like one month worth of shipments and does a bunch of signed pre-orders and variants and then just floods one week? She could probably break 300k again
BloodLuster Posted May 25 Posted May 25 okay I gotta say Wildflower was my least fav but it's hitting I totally see the vision now... like a fever, LIKE I'M BURNING ALIVE Spoiler 7
suburbannature Posted May 25 Posted May 25 The way Billie ended Taylor by making an actually good album that deserves its acclaim is satisfying enough for me. And the way she effortlesslhy made that lady twice her age fume. 4 7
Donquizote Posted May 25 Posted May 25 BLUE still slaps me so hard. I need extended version for the first part

Kern Posted May 25 Posted May 25 Lol I feel like they just read some comments online about HTE being bloated/messy and thought they have to agree with that. Like, just listen on shuffle? This album has so many good tracks 1

Like, just listen on shuffle? This album has so many good tracks I think this is such a reach to just assume? It's THEIR music and if they state this as their opinion on it in hindsight (20/20), then accept it. They didn't say it was awful, just not authentic to their current values and how they see song writing and album comp. It's kind of not that serious. 1

The album can still be good even though they may not like it.
KKCuteCat Posted May 25 Posted May 25 Remember the time when we were worried that she could not have a song debuting in Top 10 BB. Now she might have 3 2
Lament Posted May 25 Posted May 25 It keeps growing on me. What a masterpiece! HTE was gorgeous but a bit too long for my taste. This one is just so perfect. The production, the lyrics and the atmosphere she so brilliantly created. I'm speechless! 1
Donquizote Posted May 25 Posted May 25 It's been a week and I still listen to this album in full on repeat all day. The fact that she has me on chokehold this era 3
TryMe Posted May 25 Posted May 25 This is my favorite line of the album I think. A bird in a cage, thought you were made for me 6
politeone Posted May 25 Posted May 25 Was never a Billie fan, but after Happier and now this, I am in love. She continues to evolve in such an interesting and relatable way. The music has only gotten stellar since her debut. I love her more jazzier stuff too, My Future may be favorite from her. This album is masterful 5
