As if you know what labels were and weren't up for consideration? Sit down

The fact that she demanded writing credits, made Cruel Summer into what it is through the Eras tour, toured and collaborated with both Paramore and Sabrina Carpenter, all because Olivia was inspired by her idol, is absolutely wild If this ever hits the mainstream, it will really put a dent in her image.

Perhaps it's time to update the thread title?

Deserved for one of her best albums , though it would make more sense to compare numbers when the standard version reaches 7B in a few months.

Feels more like a wintery song, especially with the bells and christmassy choir. Curious about the album!

Right, but usually when there are minimal drops over the weekend, the increase after the weekend is major. Which is what I was hoping for. Still amazing numbers regardless, obviously!

Isn't this a quite modest increase from the weekend drop?

Loved the video and the new mix!

I think it's going to jump straight into the top 20, perhaps even top 15!

+5 on Spotify's Global Artist chart!

Stable on the Global and US Spotify Artist chart! Hoping for some increases again

I didn't say the deluxe wasn't a smash, because it was definitely a success for the reasons you mentioned. I'm just saying it is interesting that none of the deluxe songs quite popped off the way they could have (given the movie + playlisting, etc.), yet HTIMYLMD did!

They definitely tried to turn the deluxe into a moment though, between the film, TTH placement, etc. It wasn't the same as a lead single push, but still.

Justice for past life, the smash that got away
