Pretty high tbh. Her hype is HUGE rn. I'd be shocked if debuted below 40 and wouldn't be too surprised with a top 20.

 

Solar Power (single) had a massive debut day. Just it was a snooze and not what anyone wanted from Lorde so it tanked fast, but if this is even semi commercial (which it sounds very much so) it should do great

I feel like it's worth mentioning how she dropped Solar Power and then went completely silent for like 30 days… She only started promoting the song in the following month. That definitely made the noise die a little. 

 

That 100% happened because of the rushed release amidst leaking threats. I wonder how the rollout would've been like if the song came out when it was originally intended to.

What do we think this is for? :jonny5: @Kayseri Mantisi

I think it's gotta be a little teaser for wwt. It doesn't look like a music video to me.

I think it might be for a magazine cover. Or video snippets for the tour.

i also think music videos for all the singles have already been shot by now (remember her secretly visiting Spain) so this is probably a photoshoot or probably even a TikTok shooting for a teaser lmaooo

 

SHE LOOKS SO GOOD THOUGHHHH mother

Why is she giving me non-binary vibes lately? I know this is crazy but maybe when she said "everything is about to change" in that voice note, was she alluding to her coming out? :jonny5:

when the water in the cover art stands for sweat meaning the album will be dancy mega bops :jonny5:

It's hard to tell, but doesn't it look like she is also holding her laptop in this photo? Or something else in her left hand. This does seem like another teaser video, unless the official MV's are candid camera- on the street style. 

Also, huge request, but could someone share the times she has posted either her water bottle or headphones? What were the captions for those? I remember the saga of her asking Apple for new headphones. 🤔 @Letemtalk

Solar Power is her best album but I'm keen for Melodrama 2.0

she's constantly included gender symbols in the teases, i dont think its entirely impossible that she's going to be playing with some of those themes throughout the album. for instance:

She was first seen with that water bottle in early 2024, about the same time that she returned to brunette hair.

Perhaps the water bottle will become part of the L4 aesthetic, just like the Adidas sneakers she wore everywhere in the Melodrama era, although the sneakers were a little more affordable.

Some of the times we have seen the Apple headphones (might be different headphones in some photos):

Edit: while I was checking the dates for some of these posts, AI told me that there are LORDE-branded Apple Beats headphones, so after the Easter holiday weekend is over, I'm calling Apple to demand that they sell me some LORDE-branded Apple headphones.

I need surprise album drop with two lead singles (one collab with Charlie, another one solo).

the TikTok got marked as NSFW & then got shadowbanned :rip:

 

 

I hope this album has no collabs.

 

I need all solo Lorde!
