Mr. Duff

And OH MY GOD. I Guess It's Christmas is sooooo good!!!! Why did it feel like a combination of Hurts, If I Fall, Adult Size Medium and Holiday? It's like bits and pieces of these songs were sprinkled in this gorgeous and brilliant song? Damn if it's not Christmas-themed I want Hilary to explore this kind of sound and production more, it's soooo dreamy and the ad libs on the last chorus is just perfect! And also the lyrics - we have a really good songwriter in her!!!! We are sooo blessed!!!! I hope this becomes a Christmas staple, it's sooooooo gooooooooooooddddddddd!

Oh my I got sooo excited for Christmas because of this EP. It's soooo good! I love AYWFCIM but I kinda wish I Want was the single... It gave me more of a festive mood, but both songs are stellar. Last Christmas is really cute and soo much better than her og cover.

No, it's not her sound. ADELA can't pull off All Too Well or cardigan and that's okay.

I'm a very all over the place type of person in terms of music. I love pop music but I also loooove pop-rock, punk and alternative music. I love the typical Hot AC male ballady type of songs too. I do feel out of place sometimes when I talk about these kinds of music with my gay/bi fiends so it feels a little isolating but I understand that each has their own preference, I just want respectful discussion on these topics and when I find one or two with the same interest in this type of music I become so chatty - it's so nice to feel included in a way. Give me a ping if you need to chat over rock, punk, alt music - I'm happy to engage!

Is this the complete list of submissions? Because The Cure is easily a shoe-in for alt song, what's wrong with me could've been in Pop Duo, Stupid Song for Pop Solo. I don't get it. I looove The Cure but the submissions could've been more diverse. Also agree with Best Album Cover - this album cover definitely should be in the running!

It's sad because Miley had momentum after Flowers and her Grammy win, but it's all fumbled now. I do like Bass Persuades (single) and a few tracks (Aftermath and Let's Get Married) but the album is really different from what the expectation was, and on top of that it wasn't really marketed well. It was rush released. I never thought Hilary Duff would outsell Miley in the first week, but here we are. Love both ladies (sorry for the comparison) and I know Miley still has it (I mean she's vocally brilliant) so I really hope she still has an album or two in her that's gonna be magnificent, but this album is not it. I want her Angels Like You / Midnight Sky perfection back.

I think her big non-#1s should also be given the limelight: I Knew You Were Trouble, Style, Wildest Dreams, I Don't Wanna Live Forever, Ready for It, Delicate, You Need to Calm Down, Lover, august, exile, Karma

The smashes (9): WANEGBT, Shake It Off, Blank Space, Bad Blood, LWYMMD, Anti-Hero, Cruel Summer, The Fate of Ophelia, Opalite Longevity hits (2): cardigan, All Too Well - I just want to say that Cardigan has outstreamed Anti-Hero and is still pulling healthy daily streams, as well as All Too Well. Decent hits (2): willow, Fortnight - both songs got 1B+ for a reason, they had some sort of longevity as well. Too early to tell (2): I Knew It, I Knew You and Patient Zero - IKIIKY is US-centric, but its performance so far is great, lacking longevity though. Patient Zero is doing decent for a deluxe track but lacking longevity too, but it's really early to tell. I'm predicting IKIIKY to be considered a decent hit especially after the awards season (where it could get a boost) and Patient Zero to do well on radio to have longevity Sadly, not a hit (1): Is It Over Now I looooove this song and it was sooo well-embraced during 1989 TV that it even kicked ****'s ass to #1. I really hope it gets a resurgence, it's one of the TVs that's really well-written but it's also a heavy song so I understand why it's not as remembered as her other #1s. All Too Well is a really beloved track so its longevity isn't questioned, but I really hope IION gets its flowers eventually. Or to avenge it, make Say Don't Go viral!!!

63 weeks is a lot, so kudos to Mayhem. But in context, it's carried by DWAS which had a brilliant longevity, without it the album probably didn't even make 50 weeks. I thought this would be a staple in the charts because of well DWAS (and at the time, Abracadabra) was doing. It's a genuinely good album, such a shame nothing stuck after DWAS, even Abracadabra fizzled out quickly. Garden of Eden or HBDUWM (take the Taylor route) could have done wonders maybe? It's not too late to release HBDUWM (feat. Taylor)! I'd eat that up for sure. I love that song so much.

Adele - 30 Sabrina Carpenter - Man's Best Friend Kelly Clarkson - My December Selena Gomez - Rare Harry Styles - KATM, DO Bruno Mars - The Romantic Lady Gaga - Mayhem All of these albums had so much hype but weren't sustained unfortunately.

How the **** is Opalite and Patient Zero already out? The bigger you are the bigger the haters I guess. Opalite deserves top ten!!!!

At first I was annoyed by this song, but now I can't stop listening to it. There's some crack here because it's soooo good!

Hilary Duff - Sparks, All About You, Mature, So Yesterday and Why Not are all brilliant bright pop songs! Her voice is also perfect for bright pop songs!

Ophelia definitely have the points to chart - the recurrency rules is so flawed. Is there a reason why it didn't return? I was hoping Opalite could have returned too.

Their best song

She's dipping into k-pop a bit! Not my cup of tea but I really like the verses. The chorus still needs time for me,

Sounds like a kids bop - we are here for this year's Golden!

Damn that hopeful apologetic feeling in Pink Cloud where you feel floating then you fall down in tears (like I'm literally in tears) once you finish listening to Babylon These two songs are so special. But Babylon is sooo sad when you really feel the lyrics. It's so sad but it's sooo good.

I see a lot of love for Babylon and it's well deserved. It invokes so much emotion, and the lyrics really hit home. My God what a song, I bawled for some reason on the change of lyrics in the last chorus "You woke up on a train and you're all alone". Damn it's just so relatable. What a genius songwriter. But it's criminal to dislike Pink Clouding. That song is a masterpiece! It's a metaphorical bonanza but to me it works so well, I love how apologetic yet hopeful the song is. Hopeful in the sense that all is still good after all that happened and that the other person was able to come back to the ground and be grand. Also, it's 1989-coded in a great way, kinda like Say Don't Go's sister I feel like (and yeah Say Don't Go deserves a lot of love too). The vocals too and that bridge - chef's kiss. Both Babylon and Pink Clouding are top class Taylor tracks, they should be the ones being pushed. I do love Patient Zero, it's so catchy and it serves well plus the video is spectacular. But it's like the WANEGBT to Babylon/Pink Clouding as the Treacherous, SOG or even The Last Time (perfection tracks).
