As a lover of this album I would like to know what are your thoughts about it? :)
Because judging on your ratings you don't seem to like the ballads and you seem to like the upbeat songs more, while for me it's the complete opposite, I absolutely love the ballads and less the upbeat ones like NDA/Oxytocin.
In my opinion, Goldwing, Halleys Comet, Your Power and Everybody Dies are gorgeous tracks, the lyrics, the production, the vocal performance.... It's so pure, so beautiful to listen, that's why i'm surprised you rated these songs so low. Maybe you didn't take enough time to understand the lyrics or to listen to every details in the songs? (with headphones it's wow!) It took me a few listens to fully appreciate this project and understand it ^^
Also I think the transition is very powerful & important because of what Billie is trying to say (and she's right tho)

But one thing I agree with you is for Happier Than Ever, that song is mind-blowing!

L9ved this album. Sadly the collab with Ella could've been fire but was a nonsense song

Loved this rsong by song review buddy!! Waiting for more albums to come!!!!

Thanks Dami!

I already have two album reviews planned for next Friday, so hopefully you’ll like both of those too. :)

Yeah, it was definitely my least favourite track on the album when I reviewed it & it’s stated that way for me ever since. :/

I think it’s mainly because I’m used to Billie doing a lot of slower songs, but ‘NDA’ & ‘Oxytocin’ stood out for me because of how much more energetic they sound! I honestly think that Billie sells this dark, tense vibe a lot better personally. :)

That being said, I think she’s a beautiful singer of all of the tracks that you listed, although ‘No Time To Die’ is still my all-time favourite song of hers!

easy on me got the single effect

for context, the “single effect” comes in place when the single(s) from an album are scored higher than the rest. easy on me got a light 10 because as a single, it got time to breathe unlike the album tracks

Absolutely

Piran....Check Alan Walker x Benjamin Ingrosso - Man On The Moon, the whole Alan´s album is ok...

I feel you went to strong on her qualifications...but at the same time I understand it gets boring for some lapses...I would give this album an 85%

But "Oh My God" is coming on the way...this might get the "Single effect"....don´t you think?

This album for me has a 90 - 95% I love Maisie Peters

Another album that I would rate higher...Love BE, so, it would be 95% for me...

Love and agree with your comment!!! Love BE

Love this album!!!! 100%

A perfect score? :O

That’s insane!

Nice. :)

She’s so underrated though! :(

Ooh, will do. :)

Along with the fact that it’s just a genuinely amazing song, haha. :)

it’s getting a lot of promotion so it might :)

That’s sad cause it was such a banger:(

Agree, she got ACR and couldn't get another top ten hit, shameless

It's definitely a grower! Light 7/10 for me so far. :)

i really like the song, 8/10 for me

Her.

As it should! I'm finally in the festive spirit now, haha. :)

fr i’ve been streaming all i want for christmas is you and one more sleep like mad

Good, now start streaming 'Christmas Tree Farm' & 'Underneath The Tree' just as much, haha. :)

Good thanks, Thierry! How are you? :)

hiya thierry! unfortunately i’ve been feeling sick this week so i couldn’t enjoy myself properly at college, wednesday was decent tho. how was yours?

Hope you're feeling better now. :)

Love Xmas spirit, the tree, the decoration and of course the FOOD! and my Dog's birthday is on the 26th december so DOUBLE CELEBRATION! How are you Piran? The uni? have a lovely week end my friend and take care.

Happy sunday buddy!!

I’m actually working as a statistician now! I graduated from university in July 2019, haha.

there’s no way shivers grew on you like that 😳

i agree on the high scores for 6-8 tho.

I know! It's so annoying. :/

nah. When an artist switch record labels or distributors. There's a change in how the data is calculated. It's a bit complex to explain

annoying isn’t it? users here have been bringing up this issue every christmas and they still haven’t sorted it out.

'My Little Love' was my second favourite track from her new album. :)

Love that one... it is so catchy and love the message behind it.

The lyrics are so sad though. :/

I know especially when she starts crying:(

Yeah, that definitely hit me the hardest out of anything on the album. :/

woman like me and to be loved tho 😻

Don’t worry, I also hate Oh My God. :)

Didn’t really like anything on the album at all. :(

Me either with the exception of three. the album as a whole is very disappointing.

I sort of like those especially the latter.

that song hit me like a truck 🥺 i had to hold a tear back as well

I think it'll finally go Top 10 this year! As it should. :)

Sadly, it did! :(

Man:( Oh well she should have returned sooner.

I hope it can at least get some airplay after Christmas. :/

I doubt it. she has a new single coming out in Jan..so it may get traction then.

what now??

Yes ts already gone..:(

Yep, just one week

For awhile, she does not have any compeition.

buzzing about my heart goes tbh but i agree with woman

I hope they do release, the outrage they cause is too funny. 💀

3 might not happen this year. She already released so many songs, there's a limit

The lowest of the three songs from Taylor is #54 this week & it'll sadly probably drop out by next week, so 'Christmas Tree Farm' will definitely be there if it peaked at #71 in 2019! :P

i think santa tell me can do it this year but unfortunately i doubt taylor will get past the top 50

I really wish Santa Baby by Kylie returns too, and can get a new peak maybe😅😅

The former will definitely happen, but I’m not sure about the latter. :/

Hopefully it’ll happen one day for Taylor, but yeah, I think Ari’s has a lot more momentum for now!

I’m really rooting for ‘Santa Tell Me’ since it blocked at #11 last year. :/

I totally agreee wit that...way too many songs for just one year for Taylor...I couldn´t digest even half of them, even when a lot were repeated versions with some changes...

I like "Santa Baby" ...."Feliz Navidad" by José Feliciano took about 37 years (reaching # 44 in 2017, on the week ending January 7,.....in 2020 it reached # 6) to chart for the first time after being released in 1970...so I will keep on waiting one Xmas after another...something similar happened to Mariah Carey´s "All I want for Christmas is you" which In 2019, topped the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time, 25 years after its original release in 1994....something similar happens to me with "Santa Tell me" by Arianna Grande, which I thought it was goiung to top the charts 7 years ago 🤔

I love "santa Tell me"...but I think it will have to wait some years to top the charts... if ever...

I don’t think it’ll go all the way to #1, at least not for some time, but I just want to see it hit the Top 10 this year. :)

I wish it happens Gerardo!! Es verdad lo que describiste, cuestión de tiempo quizás!

As much as I appreciate the cause, that cover is TERRIBLE to me. 😩

I didn't like the vocal mixing, but for me, Anne-Marie & Niall have a chemistry that just works really well. :)

I have to agree. Its really autotuned and boring.

Yay!! I loved this song since it was released, and wait to see it growing even more...

Same here. :)

LITERALLY!!! Its such a banger! I hope it comes back after christmas!

It needs to get some airplay first. :/

it’s not even getting airplay? 😢

Sadly not! If it was going to get support from any major radio station here, it would be Radio 1, but it's not even on their playlists yet. :/

isn't she too old for Radio 1?

It really 😔

never been a fan of avril lavigne and i have no idea why, i get why ppl love her so much tho

She had her moment. I tbought she has evolved with her music with her 2019 album which was so good, but this song gets the original beat of 20 yrs ago...dont like it

Hmm, yeah, I get what you mean, but at least you can see her appeal! :D

Yeah, so gutted about it. :/

She’s 37 now, but I didn’t think that would stop Radio 1 from playing her music! :(

Several years ago they admitted that they are to please younger audience and in their opinion it means they have to play younger artists. They stopped playing Robbie before he wes 40, Kylie when she was 42. Avril isn't far away from their numbers so I won't be surprised

Hello Piran!! it´s been a couple of weeks that I haven´t said anything in here...as usual, my respect for your comments and your great taste in music....sad for your stopping the stoplight opinions...I love the way you separate by colors what´s growing or decreasing in your taste or your preferences every week....I want to refer to the so commented here about the rule of only 3 songs per singer or band, and how careful they are about it...look what´s happening in America...las week they had 14 songs of "Summer Walker", this week only 2 survived (I don´t like her much, anyway), now, this week the turn is for Taylor Swift= 26 songs of hers!!!!! more than 26% of the chart just for her!!! that´s terrible for me, plus they have 7 songs on "Soul Sonic", 5 songs on "The Weekend", 4 songs on "Doja Cat"...It means that a total of 44% of the chart is in only 5 singers!!! I definitely don´t agree with that....neither with the rule of the 3 songs in here in the UK, but a more dedicated balance...

yeah...agree with that, Avril´s song is not that bad, she sounds more mature in ‘Bite Me’ , thou her classic "Complicated" willl be my 4ever favorite...

I didn´t imagine age was an issue to Radio one...but come to think about it, it seems is real...grown up bands are not aired that much in it...

She sings much better in studio that in live presentations...

As I said before, she sounds more mature to me nowadays, since her 2019 album she sounded better for my taste...

Hey Gerardo! :)

I’m not stopping my Top 40 singles chart reviews! I’m just putting them on hold until the New Year, so they’ll be back within a few weeks, haha.

That’s a shame. :/

the UK charts are far less interesting than they used to be . This Sheeran Adele is becoming heavy !

Yeah, for as much as I like Ed’s & Adele’s music, I have to agree that their dominance is becoming very tiring. :/
