TryMe Posted May 25 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
politeone Posted May 25 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that she has me on chokehold this era I have a friend who was lukewarm on Billie forever who texted me last night and said "there's crack in this album I can't stop listening to it." Tells me all I need to know about it tbh because this person has excellent taste in music 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This album is masterful my future is still my favorite song of hers being realistic. I'm sure something off HMHAS will take its place eventually but that is one of the first songs I learned to play on piano when I was dipping my toes in the keyzz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny because I never felt there was a hate train against Billie during Happier than ever because I wasn't paying attention to anything outside the music that era At most the only thing I noticed was that ATRL was saying that she was underperforming compared to Olivia's SOUR but that's it. And that she was over because Happier than ever went empty handed at the Grammys (even when she won her first Oscar a week before that ) Of course If you pay attention to what Swifites currently say about Billie you are gonna think she's the most hated artist ever . They are like BTS stans when it comes to spread hate against an artist, but outside that cult Billie is slaying and getting acclaim, success and hits that the GP seems to love with her new album/era. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackout2006 Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 (edited) I don't know if I said this already but the album's chances of going #1 aren't nill...TTPD will be at its sixth and seventh weeks while HMHAS will be at its third and fourth weeks. Sales may droop for the former album but if the current trajectory of the album's performance on Spotify and charts is as consistent, and the four hits (Lunch, Birds of a Feather, Blue, and Chihiro) are promoted and become bigger, sales can accelerate and triumph by a few thousand units... Just Food 4 thought Edited May 25 by Blackout2006 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Food 4 thought Taylor's team is 100% planning for a long run and will do consistent special edition/signed drops to keep it that way. I don't think it would be very easy to overtake unless Billie's team gets to planning NOW on how to ship out 150k+ units in a week again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but idk, I feel if B's team strikes when the pan's hot and economizes any moment to drive sales organically, she can definitely get it.

Feel it would have to be a combo of signed copies (CDs and vinyl combined), a new very enticing-to-buy vinyl variant, and possibly a deluxe to do it. Seems kinda doubtful since they never fight for chart positions like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donquizote Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 SZA's SOS actually blocked Midnights for 10 weeks. We'll see whether it happens to this album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but SZA could challenge Midnights because SOS had 23 songs. It will be hard for Billie's 10 songs to fight Tortured Poets' 31 songs, especially if Taylor keeps releasing those special versions.

Love TTPD, but I don't think it will have insane longevity on streaming platforms. Taylor can keep releasing new variants but I don't think they will factor much in the future. Billie's HMHAS is getting traction on streaming platform and all songs on that album have potential to smash like SOUR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter with the sheer amount of songs it will stay above 100k units for a while. It's the same as with Morgan Wallen. I do feel like BB is going to eventually implement a limit on album lengths. We're eventually going to start getting 50 song albums just for inflated streaming Billie performing so well with a 10 track album with many songs above 5 minutes is great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreww Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Who cares about the hate tbh, she's smashing everywhere and being talked about for all sorts of reasons. I'd rather the 330K+ first week sales and 73M first day on Spotify than have swifites pleased 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
