[Pipo]

What is the next commercial single? I don't want 6 more remixes of Anti-Hero.

8 versions of one of the 3AM tracks...

What is the next commercial single? I don't want 6 more remixes of Anti-Hero.

I assumed it was "Lavender Haze" much to @Fairytale of Nü Jark 's dismay. That's the one kind of taking off at US radio anyway, it's currently #15 at pop radio (already higher than the peaks for "Willow" and "Cardigan").

 

[Pipo]

Well, if she had any sense it would have been Karma or Vigilante Shit but oh well.

 

[joanne]

Merry Christmas babes. I have been having moments to Dear Reader.

also realised that she sings "where I pace with my pen and my friends found friends who care" before that haunting solitaire line.

a 13/10 mellow bop I fear. Midnights' Clean if you will.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Midnights is my Christmas album

 

[octophone]

Midnights is my Christmas album

Well, what better day than Christmas Day, the celebration of the birth of our Lord, to be singing about a sexy baby?

 

[Jark]

I listened to folklore in full while we unwrapped presents and right now I'm having a bath to Midnights and all I can say is thank the LORD for TAYLOR SWIFT truly a Christmas miracle!

 

[Jark]

karma's a relaxing THOT
ain't you envious that for you it's NOT?

(@joanne bells)

 

[POP!]

I can't stop listening to "MIDNIGHT RAIN"

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Thoughts?

 

[Jark]

source? other than a stan-run facebook group?

what does "records sold" mean? Adele must have sold a good 10m+ copies of 21 in both 2011 and 2012 and that's albums alone, not counting the numerous Hot 100 #1 singles.

it's impossible to compare sales now with "streaming equivalent" sales but I call bullshit regardless. also, did MJ really sell 20m+ albums after his death? seems unlikely.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Oh I'm just trolling
Also hi @Ellie - any thoughts?

 

[Cerro de Casa]

a smart businesswoman would have released Sky Fits Heaven and Isaac.

Also: she was contractually not allowed to release 'Sky Fits Heaven'. Songwriting inspiration issues

As for 'Isaac' - hmm. Maybe, maybe not. I think they released the appropriate singles from COADF. Surely 'Forbidden LOVE 2005' would have been the 5th COADF sangle.

Thoughts?

she said I COME BACK STRONGER THAN A 90S TREND did you not hear her

 

[Jark]

Sky Fits Heaven is her best "should've been a single," followed by Impressive Instant. Confessions got it pitch-perfect.

edit: oops!

 

[Jark]

wow

 

[supermassive]

Expect the album to climb up the charts again this week

I'm DAMNED if I DO
Give a DAMN what people SAY

 

[Jark]

the video is fucking fabulous. she looks amazing, obsessed with the colour palette, and casting a trans man as the love interest is kind of a big deal although obviously it shouldn't be. great visual.

 

[jivafox]

Great video, gorgeous video.

 

[POP!]

Is @Jark officially claiming Lavender Haze?

 

[Jark]

the song? no.

 

[POP!]

 

[Pipo]

Shake It Off surely must be her worst single to date, closely followed by ME! (Feat. Brandon Urie)

 

[POP!]

"Shake it Off" is a classique. "ME!" is shit.

 

[POP!]

 

[Ig Komme]

NOISE

 

[Pipo]

IMPROVEMENT

 

[ZjermGiraffe]

NOISE

AND WHAT NOISE

 

[POP!]

Folklore can't be far behind.

 

[POP!]

more "Lavender Haze" remixes to bop to

 

[funky]

The original Lavender Haze is one of her best songs to date IMO

 

[Pipo]

Jungle AND Snakehips??

 

[Jark]

The original Lavender Haze is one of her best songs to date IMO

the Swiffer jury will decide your fate at a date to be determined. until then, jail

 

[POP!]

I like “Lavender Haze” as much as the next gal but I’m not claiming that @funky post either!
