Loving the snippet, seems like she also stopped the "ballads for a lead" tradition

We don't know how much her team stocked the US store with. 17k isn't a ton, especially when artists like BTS have 50k single vinyls for stores like Target alone. I'm sure they have more this time than they did last time

Can't work around speculation

Your judging the performance of a song when it hasn't even been released it and you're telling that you "can't work around speculation?"

I just stated facts, this pre-release moment is very underwhelming in numbers and her/the fans not even being able to call the song by its name is gonna make everything even harder.

People have a short attention span. All that matters is they promote it next week. They'll be posting more teasers and a music video preview all week I'm sure

I feel like I'm gonna get dragged for this but the snippet unironically sounds like something from the Heartstopper soundtrack (and I mean that complimentary it's very bright and synthy)

You all sound ridiculous lol. Anyways, can't wait until Friday

Love this show's soundtrack. Especially "Don't Delete The Kisses" by Wolf Alice.

If this is upbeat I hope she gives us some remixes

I remember a dj had remixed driver license at a nightclub and the remix was amazing

I don't think she's gonna have trouble hitting #1.

Right. Like the song hasn't even come out yet and people are already worried about charts

while I think her team should do more promo for the single this week, I'm not worried at all about the GP's interest. People are excited about this new era based on social media engagement + Spotify pre-saves.

She's coming for blood, so exciting

They probably have more stock this time around than they did for vampire. I think they only had 10-15k vinyl for Vampire

There were 10K vinyl in stock for Vampire and DD had 30K initially. DD has sold between 5-10K, as of three days ago (not incl. CD or cassette).

how do we know this? And do cassettes still not count towards charting in the US

All this discussion about going #1 or not makes me realize just how much things have changed in music compared to the 2000s and early 2010s. Back then if a pop star started flopping, you might legit never hear from them again. Once they got dropped from the major label world, that was it. Now? There is no universe in which a very famous pop star like Olivia Rodrigo ever stops having a music career (with a sizeable budget included) even if she stops charting at all on the Hot 100. Her last tour did $200M. She has enough momentum to fund anything going forward for the next few decades. So while in like 2007 it was kind of life or death for a relatively new girl's third album to do super well so she can continue making music at a high level, now it's almost irrelevant. She would get to make a fourth and fifth album regardless.

There's no way to know that, her website doesn't allow you to find out her stock anymore

I'm getting a bit nervous at the lack of noise around the single..? I get that she will probably do most of the teasing this week, but the fact that the US store hasn't sold out of her single, and the algorithm not letting her use the word "dead," I feel like her song is gonna get buried with other releases

I mean what are we supposed to do about an unreleased song-

nvm someone wrote out the lyrics of the tiktok song leak and it's definitely ai.

There's literally been no promo or noise about this single it's really not looking good.

Tried to say this and got jumped.

You all deserved to get jumped. The single comes out Friday. Usually songs get announced on Monday and come out on Friday. She is already ahead of that curve with an announcement and snippet. Do you want to whole song teased before release date?

I didn't check the stock through her website.

Where did you do it then? Cause people have been trying for months to get info about pre-orders for both her and Taylor and can't find anything

Seriously, the engagement has been great and so have the numbers she's been doing on Spotify. She has a sizable fanbase that's already watching out for her release and the song sounds like it's going to be a fun one. We know she's already doing double duty on SNL two weeks after the single drops so she's clearly got promo lined up.

what kind of promo do y'all want her to do for a song that's not out yet?
