What the actual ****! I didn't even know about this.

Genuine question, i am not from the States, I know who Shawn is, but is he even music A-list, chart performance and popularity wise? Again, genuine question, no jibe. 

 

He’s about B-list I think.

Imagine saying this when Britney sold over 100k 18 years into her career and Katy sold 50k in a WAY earlier stage of her career 

Do not even compare the two BritneyJean2006 

106FLOPK for a artist who has sold 1.3 million copies in their first week?

Also it wasn’t to deep meaning, i was re-phrasing what @CrazyButItFeelsAllright was saying and showing how it doesn’t make sense

not sure what list he is in but i believe he had a career/public interest resurgence due to his relationship with Carmela, was ir Carmela or Camel? i'm not sure of her name but dat ho.e from Fifty Harmonica

they always pose pda pics/vids, which are borderline cringy but who are we to judge same-*** relationships

[vinay]

Britney will easily sell more then 50K albums in a week even if she releases an album  before being out of the conservatorship,  then just imagine if she is out of the conservatorship (or atleast out of Jamie's clutches) then just imagine her numbers

The thought of having a Britney album debuting lower than 100k sales is giving me anxieties

She’ll definitely do better than Katy. I mean Glory did 88k pure and 111k SPS 1st week. Pure sales have declined since then but hopefully RCA will release some vinyls, special editions etc to boost her pure sales. A ticket/merch bundle would also be great. Even when you look at the SPS numbers, Katy only moved an additional 15k units from streaming, while Britney moved 23k, which is more impressive on Britney’s end considering that streaming wasn’t as big in 2016 and Britney released less singles

bundles won't work anymore after October. Her team has been so incompetent, but whatever the money doesn't go to Britney anyway.

We all know she’ll do well especially if she’s free or has more control over her life and financials. Fans and gp are rooting for her af as we speak so I’m not worried about her next comeback album. Britney’s career will be fine 

oh and bundles wont work anymore hence why we saw Taylor releasing her album out of the blue with like 100 different covers and merch

Updated the title after @Lorenzo gave some juicy information on how Katy’s album will perform in its second week

I hope she can pull the uno reverse card and sell 487k copies in its second week

Is that a typo? did you mean 4.87K? Cause sis....

[monkeystar88]

kinda sad because at least she can kinda sing unlike almost everyone else. kinda weird that real life vocal talent isn't really required to top the charts now

[ColdAsFire88]

Ok...I listened to the album again and its not that bad  Its slightly generic though and the droplet singles didn’t help hype it up. I mean if you’ve already listened to half of someones album before it drops are you gonna listen to it again 

NRO - is one of the highlights and a good intro into the album 

Cry about it later - is infectiously annoying. I feel like she repeats the title a million times 

Teary Eyed - actually got my ears perked up and I started singing along

Daisies - I like this song but I can see why it failed to capture the GP’s attention. We have had Firework, Roar, Part of Me 

Resilient - This is where the album takes a dip for me. I don’t care for this song 

Not the end of the world - It sounds like something she would have released on Prism or back in 2015 

Smile - Its alright. Not bad but not great. Def not single worthy IMO 

Champagne Problems - Its a cute BOP 

Tucked - I get the appeal. I might listen to it again. Its cute 

Harleys in Hawaii - I still dont understand how this song flopped so hard. Its probably my favorite on the album 

Only love - Don’t care. Pass. 

What makes a woman - Its alright. Nothing noteworthy but not awful. 

Highlights: Never really over, Teary Eyed, Champagne Problems, Harleys in Hawaii

[rednaldeirf]

Not for nothing but I’m digging this album. Champagne problems is a definite bop. And Never Really Over is probably my favorite Katy song ever! She knows how to deliver a pop album and that’s what I got to say about that! 

[2K16NEY]

I’ve already stopped listening to it

[2K16NEY]

My solid review of the album is a 3/10.

Sorry, I went in with an open mind but it failed to keep me interested. Standout tracks were Never Really Over and Harley’s in Hawaii. I enjoy Smile too as a generic bop if I’m in the mood to be uplifted but still, nothing new grabs my attention. Sounds dated mostly, this album is full of Prism and Witness filler tracks. Anyway, songs I wouldn’t skip when they come on would be NRO, Harleys, Teary Eyed, Smile, and Tucked. Worst tracks: Cry About It Later (for being annoying) and Resilient (her voice over a Regina Skeptor instrumental is interesting).
