I wanted more Used To Love You and less Make Me Like You, but I have some songs I like. Happy it's a success for her. Cannot believe LAMB only got #7 with 300+.

I'm hoping "Make Me Love You" becomes at least as big of a hit as prior single "Used To Love Me". "Where Have You Been" is great. I love the breezy beat behind it. I think you mean Used To Love You and Where Would I Be, unless there are more bonus tracks of which I am unaware.

Her estimate has been beefed up again to 73-78k (80-85k SPS). I wonder how much higher her SPS would've been with Spotify.

Hmm...there must be positive word of mouth for this. People are getting it and telling their friends.

I wish it was on Spotify already! I thought I had ordered it from Target but when it didn't turn up and I checked, there was no order. I'm not sure I'll bother now

Looking forward to a DJ Snake/SeeB remix of "Send Me a Picture."

This album wooorrrks!!! Very good. It's very Gwen, and I like how she co-wrote all the songs with Julia Michaels and Justin Tranter. It makes for a pretty cohesive songwriting style throughout.
And it's true that for the first 5 songs or so, you're just like, "what?!" "dang!" "really?!" "wow!" "thx gwen!"

I think this is her most consistent album out of her three solo records but it doesn't have the same highs as LAMB and Sweet Escape. I also find the production a bit too crisp and clean. My favourite is Me Without You but I kind of wish it had some of that Born To Die distorted drums and reverb. Something about that the melody of that track really gives me Lana vibes.

The beat is insane on You're My Favorite it's like 90s MJ meets 90s gangster rap with intro and outta by Imogean Heap. I wish they'd hurry up and put the deluxe on Apple Music.

The target exclusive? That will not be on Apple Music for quite some time. Target has 6 month exclusivity window I believe

my choices for next single: "Where Would I Be?", "Truth", "Send Me a Picture", or "Asking 4 It". I would be happy if any of them get released but as of now I would give "Asking 4 It" the edge since Radio seems to be rejecting "pop gwen" and her more urban tinged songs have done better historically ("Rich Girl", "Hollaback Girl", "Luxurious") plus as annoying as Fetty Wap is he will probably only help give the song more exposure. I did not include "Misery" because it's too safe in my opinion and I burnt out on it quick.

I honestly don't expect radio to embrace anything from this album but I do hope she gets at least one more single properly released with a video.

"Where Would I Be?" and "Asking 4 It" are the best options for the next single IMO.
Would love to see "Me Without You" or "Rare" get a single release too, but that's just me. Also: "Naughty" and "Red Flag" have been in my head for days. You know how to speeeeeeend it...

Overall, this is a really solid pop album, I'm surprised how good after all the false starts. Aside from "Red Flag" and "Naughty," I can find things I love in all the tracks.
But can we talk about "Getting Warmer" for a second? HOOOOOOTTTTT. How is that a bonus track? My fav track on the album easily and her best track in ages.

Any predictions for future singles? I think Misery will be 3rd (sorry if this has already been confirmed). I'm struggling to think what will go as singles following that? Also any word if she's doing a tour for the album?

I would never imagined that one day I would agree with HolidayGuy, but yeah, radio won't support +40 stars, and it's a shame 'cause Gwen really deserved this time.

Just want to mention that none of Fetty's featured singles really became big hits e.g. Natalie La Rose, Rita Ora and Sia.

It's not like it is the best choice for single, but the one that can have some spins. I would love her to release 'Rare' or 'Where Would I Be?'. Make Me Like You didn't even get into CHR/40 TOP 20, that's depressing. :'( This is so unfair, the album is so great. Radio should play good music, no matter, age, color, sexuality...

If they really want to appeal to radio, I think something like "Misery (feat. Adam Levine)" or "You're My Favorite (feat. Nicki Minaj)" could serve the needs better than a Fetty Wap feature, but that's just my crazy fantasy. Also, I feel like the most radio-friendly songs are "Rocket Ship" and "Getting Warmer", which are both bonus tracks.

I think the Lean On ish 'Send Me A Picture' could work if she was not radio blacklisted.

My favorites on the regular album are Rare and Truth, but my top two are Getting Warmer and Obsessed. Such fiyah! I can't believe they weren't on the album, especially GW.

The Target bonus tracks are really strong, but I don't think any of them fit thematically on the album. Maybe "Obsessed", but I think that's the weakest of the four.

Her album is expected to be on Spotify tomorrow. Sorry if this was already mentioned.
