Silver in it's second week

This is a pretty nice split.

The vinyl cover got clowned on the internet. But it looks so much better in real life. The yellow Vinyl is beautiful too. It's a whole package with the little playbill book.

It's not all that strange. She still hasn't broken america. And this album rollout it seems the promo for the album so far is just the tour. And one apple music interview with Zane. She had some radio promo before what that was mainly for WIMH! It's still doing a lot better than M21CB.

Hoping the upcoming tour can push this up.

Early predictions for WIMH! I hope it stays in the top 10 next week. Will Kanye maybe push it out?

Has the campaign for this album really only been the tour? I see no update accounts posting those billboard photos in New York. No in person signings or signed albums on her website. No interviews. Only live performances and tours. Did all the budget get put into the album so that there was nothing left for promo?

I don't think I will overcome is a long song. On the show it was after the introduction. Max 2 mins If I remember correctly.

The final segment of the show—"Summer"—will be a dance party. She plans to have the word "RAYE" on a screen behind her onstage and transition it to say "RAVE," which is an idea she got from a very drunk woman at one of her shows. ("I just want to find this girl to tell her thank you," she says. For the ones that want dance Raye back. This was in the Elle cover interview.

This reaction is a lot from some of you guys. This is Raye, she is going to change the flow and direction of the song 10x times before it releases.

close to 3m.

Hoping olivia gets #1 then the week after Raye.

Has a pretty high chance for the #1 uk album? Is there anyone else that could block her?

I think the youngest is like 13 so if she goes into music it might be a long while.

I got a question Does olivia's album sales count to her man I need single? Or do people think it will only give a boost because people are playing the album?

Are raye's physical 7inch vinyl already counted for this update?

Haha no. Just look two tiktoks back. When it started to go a bit viral people where asking her when she would release. It's become an inside joke with her and fans. Nothing new is coming. I guess it's just like when Worth it had a small moment on tiktok. Hopefully she performed it on the Kelly Clarkson show. Besides a live performance I doubt we will get anything new. The song doesn't need a mv. Let them find the Royal Albert Hall version.

The album just turned 1 year old this year. Woman has been on non stop support and headline tours + festivals. I hope she enjoys a break soon and starts to write.

Slept in the same bed as bro because he was poor. That's the explanation I've seen from his fans.

Thank you. That gives me a bit better understanding.

Can you give more insight on why the BRIT school sometimes gets a bad rep. I've read it a few times as it is seen as bad. Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the BRIT school free? So underpriviliged kids can go there (i know you have to audition so not everyone is accepted). You also got the Sylvia Young thearte school and that one is private and expensive.

Out of those songs, only the Coi Leray remix, feature with stormzy and Genesis can be songs she actually "put out" the rest were for other projects. The weekend deserved more, but really neither of them promoted it. Stormzy was on his vacay with Maya and Raye was still touring. - The kpop remix was because she co-wrote it as well. - Mother nature was done for the nature documentary - 4am remix was just a release for her fans who kept asking for it. It got released a few days early on her discord. Bet there were zero expecations about that release. - Feeling good cover was just because she performed it for an australian cover show, like the brits have the live lounge, they put it out on spotify after. - Genesis was never really going to chart high, she knew that herself and says she knows the song isn't for everyone. It's just to put a closing behind the M21CB era. The vinyls sold well so I doubt she is too bothered. It didn't help that the charts counted the parts separately. - Fly me to the moon. A cover for a movie. What I don't seem to get is that people thought the brits would be another launching moment. I saw it more as her victory lap. It was enough momentum for her to perform for a sold out 02 arena. While being independent is an amazing accomplishment with just one complete album. Escapism was the momentum and she did capitalize on it in my opinion. Big support slots, and her tours, festival shows, Louis theroux interview, royal albert hall that got a live album recording and recorded for the BBC, 6 brits and SNL. She is being taken serious as a musician by critics and more people now. If she were with a label, they probably would have pushed her to have an album done by next year. But honestly she has been touring non stop and I think it's time for a well deserved break, and give her time for the next album. I don't think anyone can really say what comes next. It's not that she killed her momentum, but more that it came to a natural end.

She calls it in an intermission in this Interview so it is basically a closing to the M21CB era. Who knows what comes next but I honestly think she will keep genre hoppping on album 2.
