Do you think "Radical Optimism" is going to be an album with longevity?

 

What about the singles like "Houdini", "Training Season" and "Illusion"?

 

Even if this isn't her big era do you think is going to outstream other albums like "Rare", "Renaissance", "Chromatica", "THINK LATER", etc?

Yes. In 15 years, music scholars will be studying that album. 

We will see in January 

The album has already fallen under 5M streams daily, barely a month after release. Longevity is not happening 

Yes it will

Falling Forever will save the era 

When she releases Radical Optimism: The Conservative Pessimism Edition, then yes! Undoubtedly!!

January 1, 2025: the world will finally become radically optimistic 

I hope so, for sure, but people don't seem to love the music which is sad considering it really isn't bad nor vapid. "These Walls" and "French Exit" could really give this era a much needed bump.

I like the album, so I hope it does. I don't think she's doing too bad either. I think people just expected another Future Nostalgia.

She definitely seems to be mimicking a more Katy Perry-like career shift right now, transitioning from radio friendly pop girl into a more sophisticated, acclaimed legacy artist and performer. Radical Optimism will probably be her Witness, underperforming singles left and right but she will solidify a touring fanbase and won't really flop even if it seems like a career lull.

Is the longevity in the room with us?

I fear it will serve a Houdini (longevity who?)

There is nothing to be radically optimistic about rn  

 

and after the election.. welp! I fear we're going to get bombarded with boring sad songs  

 

She still has the Deluxe version to release

No

The fact that the Training Season will end with around 600M at the end of the year

Are you ok?

She'll have an unexpected smash like with what happened with Levitating and release a deluxe edition. Bookmark me.

Levitating only happened thanks to her label's relentless payola. They already pulled the plug on her this era (and shifted it to Benson Boone)

hmmmm no but that's okay! I think for her next album she should do a huge shift to some power pop vibes, more guitars and more angst i'm thinkin

Houdini was done so wrong it should be considered a damn crime.

why was there no new single?
