Crank_It_Up

Incredible album. I've been looping it on repeat since its release. So happy Hilary decided to make a comeback to music! Obsessed with Future Tripping and Holiday Party in particular. I would love for them to eventually become singles.

This has debuted in the Top 50 for Urban AC/R&B. Not my pick for the next single, but I can see it being a good fit for that format, so I'm okay with it. I do hope Gamma sends something to Urban or Rhythmic. In Your Feelings would've done well, but now that it peaked at R&B, I'm having a hard time seeing it do any damage for these aforementioned formats. Maybe they can try with I Won't Allow It if they do a remix with someone of a high caliber?

I wish they'd send it to Urban. Oftentimes Urban would respond well to songs that hit #1 on R&B. And in this case, it's been holding extremely strong, so I don't see why they couldn't try.

I'm still not sure how I feel about this one. Mature was more instant for me but I think it'll be a grower! The touching myself watching porn caught me off guard, but I really like how she's serving grown up music!

I'm curious if they're going to push it stateside (pun intended). It feels like a smash waiting here too, not just internationally. But then again, they didn't do much for Illegal in the US other than adding it to some playlists so…

I don't know if I believe Normani is actually coming back after the countless lies… I will say that it is very good news that she left RCA regardless. What an utter incompetent label, they could never do anything right. BUT, if Normani is signing with some other label, I hope that she also knows she gotta work for it because she lost a lot of goodwill sadly.

Not me being trapped in an in-person meeting exactly at 10 am so I couldn't keep an eye out on my laptop, so guess who didn't get the tickets AGAIN. I'm so pressed omg, it's like the universe is telling me I'm not allowed to go and see Hilary or something.

OMG. I cannot WAIT!!! A three months wait feels perfect imo. I'm curious on whether they plan to push Mature or go out blazing with the next single. It might be hard to do much right now with Christmas music, but at the same time, I feel like Mature has clearly shown potential in becoming a hit (a minor at its worst).

8 Christmas songs on the chart. Without them, Mature would've been #96.

Technically, yes, but there have been early releases that did well. It's matter of how Atlantic and Hilary's team are going to strategize the release plan. They can strike GOLD if they're smart in what they do for the album.

The more I think about it, the more frustrated I'm at Ticketmaster. They should've capped the amount of people allowed to sign up for the presale, especially knowing how many seats each of the venue had. That way not everyone could just sign up but more actual/OG fans would've had the fighting chance to snag tickets. There was NO reason for why it went up to over 100k in the queue for the presale alone…!!! Know what I mean? Though, I must say I'm glad to see that some genuine Hilary stans on here like SafeandSound get tickets!

I'm praying there'll be more dates and bigger venues. I had my meltdown last night when I got home from work, and I'm not feeling too great today either but the silver lining is that there is demand for Hilary, and for that alone, I'm happy.

Tried again for the general sale and my queue was 6k…got sold out literally minutes later, before I even got into the page. I'm holding myself together because I'm still at work rn, but I'm totally gonna have a meltdown later today.

I'm pretty devastated, but I'm trying to not lose my mind. I don't know how we can achieve anything during the general sale if that presale was sold out so quickly…

Yeah, it's sold out. I'm inside now.

YAY!!!! I'm still in the queue, behind 2k ppl. I'm just gonna hope for the best at this point even though the writing is slightly on the wall at this point.

Manifesting for us that we've GOT this. We WILL win the Ticketmaster battle and get the tickets.

I love Muni, her vocals on this is a YES, and Big Freedia at the end was fun. But ngl, I'm a little confused about some of the new lyrics…like why are we talking about aliens in one of the verses? Can someone help explain this? It's my only issue with this remix tbh.

I'm already stressed thinking about the Ticketmaster battle. I've been a massive fan ever since as a child but never had the opportunity to see her live…until now. And so, I just absolutely NEED to go!

I think so! His birthday is on November 11th and that means he's a Scorpio sign.

This is a vast improvement from 143. I hope this signals a return to Pop Rock for the next album because I'd be here for it!

MTE. This feels like a slow burn. I would've totally released it in December and capitalize off the Golden Globes buzz. The word of mouth would've been good then as well. Now it's just going to get lost in shuffle and be forgotten in a week.

Well, to be fair, R&B radio kinda forced their hands. They picked up In Your Feelings all on their own. Gamma was going to service Play This Song but took notice of how R&B radio began playing IYF without any initiation while ignoring PYS altogether, and the fact that it was also the fan favorite besides the title track, encouraged them to shift plans. I'm hopeful that the fact they were quick in noticing this will indicate that they have a plan to actually PUSH the track instead of doing nothing like they allowed Sugar Sweet linger around without assistance.

Serviced to Rhythmic, Urban, and R&B radio earlier this afternoon. No adds date yet.

In Your Feelings is the next single. You didn't hear this from me but it was very recently serviced to Rhythmic, Urban, and R&B radio formats. No adds date yet though.
