LOL @ "sharing the stage with Taylor Swift" being held as the pinnacle of his popularity despite all of his major accomplishments this year.

Who's the girl singing with him on Angel? I thought it was Shakira at first! But it's not. for anyone wondering, the uncredited artist on this is labelmate (Maty) Noyes, who's signed to Lava/Republic - she had a song called "Confessions Of A Bad Bitch" included in last winter's Jingle Blitz coverage, but it hasn't been released yet. She just tweeted that she's releasing an original from her upcoming debut EP on Monday.

I never liked "Earned It", but listening to it in the album makes me really like it?

@ his hometown's review in Now Magazine giving his worst review so far (even though it's basically average) and calling him pretentious.

People clown his hair so much online, haha. It looks terrible, but I think it's smart. It gives him a signature and makes him identifiable - kind of like Ariana Grande's ponytail.

I'm interested to see if any album tracks make the Hot 100 next week. Prisoner is top 15 on iTunes right now, it could show up if sales hold. Streaming is the real question mark I'd think. The Ed Sheeran track is available to stream but not to buy on iTunes. Ed has streaming draw like crazy, so that one could be a surprise too

Sooo I didn't care for him 3 months ago. But I'm slowly stanning this dude so haard!!! Let's already celebrate the GRAMMY(ies) he's getting next year!!! Okay? Okay!!
Plus, this dude actually song-writes and produces his own songs (reason for my stanning)!!! Like, the opening track "Real Life" (which gave me exactly that) is actually produced by The Weekdn himself!!!
This album is seriously on a crossover level I didn't even expect any current US artist to reach (the prodcution on it is quite impressive). I've only listened to it once. And it's already definitely MY album of the year!!
Good job Abel!! Very Good Job!! And welcome!! (now going to check his previous work lol...)

Wow at the album! I just listened to it on Apple Music and it is amazing based on just the first listen. I have been loving the singles released so far. "In The Night", "Prisoner", and "Acquainted" are my favorites. I really want ITN to be the next single with a cinematic music video to go with it. Same with "Prisoner." @ his hometown's review in Now Magazine giving his worst review so far (even though it's basically average) and calling him pretentious. Their "review" was absolutely ridiculous. They seem so pressed and stressed that they will never amount to anything but being a "writer" for an online "publication" that no one reads.

The songs that are doing the best on iTunes are pretty much the complete opposite of what I thought would happen. Interesting....

I was really excited for this album, but I am underwhelmed a bit, it's not a bad album, but I found it to be overall just okay.

The sales prediction of BBTM is +350k in USA and rising. Also the TEA and SEA will help it a lot, all tracks are in the iTunes top 200 and in the top 50 of Spotify.

These reviews are a little ridiculous. It's either too Michael Jackson or not Jackson enough. It's too much like his old stuff or not enough like his old stuff.
