Misses the top 10 in the UK to start at #11. It started at #6 in the midweeks but was very frontloaded. Poor love. The album is OK I guess, not unpleasant to listen to. Anywhere remains the best track. If she'd released the album after that hit, I'm sure it would have had a much higher peak. Her singles are all doing very well though, so not all doom and gloom.

She debuted with 18.5k though, which would've been enough to debut at #3-ish during most of 2018. She got lost in the Q4 shuffle.

Rita is smart, she'll hustle with promo until it gets top 5 in January.

It sucks that she missed the Top 10, but this album is already a success considering how big the singles have been (pretty sure they have over 1 billion combined streams). And I’m sure ‘Only Want You’ will smash, too, which will help with longevity. The album also has several other potential singles, like ‘Cashmere’ and ‘Falling to Pieces’. It’s literally a singles goldmine. So, yeah... she’ll be just fine.

I hope Mother Terita pays the U.S. dust on the next album cycle, focus on the rest of the world and give us a Fever-level success, Queen

They can honestly start promoting this as a greatest hits album in 2019 At this point she has more than enough material for an actual greatest hits album: the singles from this album, the singles from Ora, ‘I Will Never Let You Down’, ‘Poison’, ‘Body on Me’, etc. And that’s not even including her features like ‘Black Widow’, ‘Hot Right Now’, ‘Coming Home’, and ‘Doing It’. It’s so f**king annoying when people act like Rita is some irrelevant flop even though she’s had a ton of hits. Doesn’t she hold the record in the UK for most Top 10s by a female artist? Queen.

She holds the record for most by a British female artist. There are quite a few female artists with more. Not trying to knock her achievement or anything, it just comes with an asterisk.

I'm living for the "Hell of a Life" -> "Velvet Rope" -> "Falling to Pieces" -> "Cashmere" sequence of songs. Those latter 3 absolutely should have been on the standard edition.

Still haven't listened to this yet. I thought I would just buy it but Deluxe is only available for cheap on iTunes and I feel like if I am going to get an album, I want all of it, not just some, so I passed on the standard version at Target. Anyway, from what I heard going through clips, all of these songs sound like they could be sung by a Bebe Rexha, whispered by Selener, or a Sarah Lawson or any anonymous pop girl. I know Rita has a good voice and all but the music just sounds so...generic.

TFW most of the best songs on the album are on the deluxe only It's one of THOSE albums
Falling To Pieces, Cashmere(#1 for the album imo), and Velvet Rope are like the best tracks

That counts for something. Like I would rather listen to her than Bebe or Selena or Zara.

Apparently Rita has broken up with watt., who co-wrote over half of the songs on Phoenix. At least this time she saved the breakup until the album is out. LMFAO.
She's now reportedly dating Andrew Garfield.

Homegirl needs to learn to stop shitting where she eats. I actually forgot I bought this last night in a drunken/high stupor LOL. I'll have to wait until next week when my friends leave so I can get fucked up and twirl to this.

Her talent and persistance justifies her existence. Does she write? I will be following her now. She and Dual Lips make quality POP music with enough sound effects and catchy songs to interest me. Vocally,Rita sounds like a talented J Lo with her youthful tone but she has a little extra grit and character and texture. Phoenix is a B+. No skipworthy songs at all. Agreed with fact that deluxe songs should be on the album but nothing should be swapped. 1. Hell Of A Song/One Of The Best Songs Of The Year (I can f**k to this. I see the slow build up and then during that epic drop, I legit lose my s**t and f**k like a donkey.) 2. Falling To Pieces (I'm guessing the decision was made that Anywhere and this couldn't share space on the same album, so I get it. But, this is Anywhere's hot, hipper older sister.) 3. Anywhere 4. Cashmere (fuck me right UP, Rita! Scheduling my next sex date.) 5. Soul Survivor (a sheer triumph. She does #LisaRinna proud here) 6. Let You Love Me 7. First Time High 8. Your Song 9. Girls (I coulda swore Kitty Purry got a pass for IKAG. Wasn't song an actual inescapable hit? This song>>>>IKAG anyway.) 10. Keep Talkin (this kinda sounds like a parody of Julia Michaels to be honest and the processing can be kinda abrasive on headphones, but because I low-key stan Squealia, I bop.) Oops, posted before I was ready. Was trying not to twerk on the bus to Hell Of A Life. Anyway, that is my perfect Rita album but no bad songs at all. Impressive!

I like Rita's latest "Phoenix". There's a few tracks I could do without but I really like most of them. I had most if not all of the singles she released previously from the album except "Girls". It's a great pop album and most of the tracks are like earworms. My newer favorites from the album are: "Let Me Love You" "Only Want You" "Falling To Pieces" "New Look" "Keep Talking" ft Julia Michael's and the very poppy "First Time High" Great release, it's one of the better one's of the year for me.

Why is no one talking about "New Look"? It's easily one of my favorite songs off the album... the lyrics and production are absolute fire.
The album itself is an easy favorite of the year.
