I would bet "Hands to Myself" or "Sober" is the next single.
I've listened to this album nonstop today. I don't dislike a single track. "Camouflage" has grown on me a lot; I originally thought it was filler, but it's so not.
"Me & the Rhythm" may be the standout uptempo for me though.

I'm listening to the preview on iTunes right now, and sh*t, this is great. Not a single bad song on here. Definitely checking this out when I can.

Almost every track is flawless. I'm not too big on "Same Old Love" or "Me and My Girls", but I still like them. Big fan of "Revival", "Hands to Myself", "Good For You", "Sober", "Perfect", and "Cologne". Easily the most surprising album of 2015 for me.

I liked Hands to Myself the most instantly and maybe that's because the same duo did Gimmie Love from Carly Rae's album. It has the same vibe and out bursting chorus.

Sorry Selena...you are going to have to come harder if you want my coins. Definitely worth a download though. It's a pity because, based on the quality of the two singles, I had such high hopes for this.

I might give this a chance if I'm finished catching up on some other albums that I have to finish but it's not on my priority since the singles have done nothing for me. Question, is this stronger than Stars Dance? I was not a fan of that album bar a few songs.

This album is fantastic, and damn, this is almost up there with E.MO.TION, 1989, and Queen of the Clouds in term of quality.

This album is just P-E-R-F-E-C-T! I don't dislike any tracks, as well. Just pefection. Selena has risen for me from the normal singer(who had some good songs) to one of my favourite artists!

Revival offers a lot more, and it feels to be a much more authentic image of Selena.

Yeah...I was able to find the Target version for download so I am listening in full now at work. It sounds OK but nothing worth spending money on. I was so ready to throw money at her for this project, too, because I LOVE the two singles but it just sounds so...hollow. I am waiting to see what Demi brings. Some of these songs sound straight out of Stars Dance, which was also not a bad album per se, but also not worth paying for. At any rate, this is definitely not her Stripped, that's for damn sure.

@ her putting the best song on the whole album as a bonus track. Hell, @ the bonus tracks all being better than half the album. I hate when artists do that but I understand the strategy behind it. 1. Nobody 2. Good For You 3. Same Old Love 4. Hands To Myself 5. Cologne 6. Perfect 7. Outta My Hands (Loco) She can keep the rest, but it's not bad. I will give it a C. Hopefully, she can make an even better album next time that is more in the vein of the strongest songs here.

The songs are fine I guess - vocals are fine, production is fine, it's just that the album is boring.

That is the only track on this LP I would label as filler.

Vocally, thematically...Cologne is better than most of the filler that makes the album. I put on the whole album while cooking yesterday and it was pleasant background music but I honestly don't remember the songs outside of the ones I mentioned.

I still hope it sells 100k at least by the end of the tracking week. 75-85 is really low..

Some of these lyrics are so worthy. It's my time to butterfly - "Revival" Metaphorical gin and juice - "Hands to Myself"

"Sober" should be the next single. I'm fairly happy with this album! I liked it a lot more than I was expecting to.
