She needs to lean more into the "Big Energy" / Hot Pink Doja sound instead imo. But honestly I feel like she's gonna be trapped on one-hit-wonderland. (Yeah, I know that K-Pop singer gave her a second hit but he could have done the same exact song with like, Azaelia Banks or Bhad Babbie or Iggy Azalea and gotten the exact same numbers). Didn't she just score a big hit with Cardi B? Sure, it wasn't a pop hit, but I think she's doing just fine.

Lol, the video was pretty bad, seriously haha. I think she has some cool videos in her catalog though unlike some of you are saying. I particularly like the Break My Heart video the most, it's really well executed.

This should be banished for how they use the Stand By Me melody. Disgusting.

I hope she makes a ton of money off of this book and then just retires. The industry hasn't been great for her and its best to move on. I hope she finds something she's passionated about again. She's too young to simply retire, I want her to have fun doing whatever it is that she loves.

I mean, this is pop culture, everything moves so fast. Melanie Martinez still has a career. If Lizzo can work this out she should be fine.

My complaint here is the robotic/sped up effect on Ellie's voice. It's just annoying. I'm fan of her voice, so this is a no for me.

I think it's catchy and very in sync with her debut singles. I see this smashing but maybe not lasting long, much like Taylor's Me! or LWYMMD.

It may an unpopular opinion here, but I think Kelly is not a very good songwriter. This song's lyrics are juvenile and her vocal delivery lacks the youth that could work, i.e. Olivia Rodrigo. I have not heard any song from this record that I think completely works - lyrics and vocals.

It's too bad MB20 can't even make Top20... HOT AC is too pop/young oriented now. I know and it's the #1 song for Rate The Music In most demos for Hot AC so the listeners like it. Maybe payola? I noticed even Sirius XM The Pulse won't add it. It is slowly getting big adds each week. It could turn into what Shinedown is currently doing with A Symptom of Being Human. Maybe it's time for a new format that isn't identical to CHR again. Who knows but as a lover of pop music since I was a kid this record has some hits to ear if radio will play them. Don't Get Me Wrong, Rebels, Queen of New York City & No Other Love are all earworms! Yeah, IMO Hot AC has become a really disappointing format, it's just a light TOP 40, and not that light really...

It's wild to me he never released this. Talking To The Moon might be bigger . on Spotify it has 995M streams and should pass 1B in a week or so. Marry You is at 740M streams. Talking to the Moon was a big hit in Brazil, that could explain it.

Even though Breakaway is the name of the album and the first song to be known from the project I don't consider it to be the album's 1st single. Am I wrong? I always see SUBG as the lead single and Breakaway as a bonus track that got royal treatment.

I don't think this is the masterpiece you are all saying, on the contrary. I actually could never listen to it in full. Don't like her vocals at all here, very grating.

Blah. She looks like Ciara in the video, it's very strange.

Reminded me of Stevie Nicks at first. Doesn't it sample anything from her?

I mean, did it really ruin her career? It was not like her previous album was a huge hit. Spirit was huge decline from Pieces of You, and This Way was a big decline from Spirit. Standing Still was a moderate hit and the other singles flopped miserably. Intuition came along and became a bigger hit than SS, even though 0304 sold less than This Way, but following the decline in her sales, it was not a huge flop or something. The fallout between her and her mother (her manager at the time), put everything on hold and she cancelled a big 0304 tour that was coming up and subsequent singles. She found out she was in huge debt and her mother was stealing from her. Even after that she kept coming back, always trying new things. I don't think she blew her chances of having a huge career in pop radio, she was part of a movement that, let's be honest, got lucky with radio at that time.

Decided to look into her single discography stats on Spotify. Complicated | 591,302,493 | Sk8er Boi | 407,659,557 | Girlfriend | 329,451,987 | What the Hell | 291,700,933 | Head Above Water | 203,342,624 | I'm with You | 199,412,675 | Here's to Never Growing Up | 186,162,217 | When You're Gone | 181,481,749 | My Happy Ending | 163,838,842 | Wish You Were Here | 116,930,549 | Keep Holding On | 95,905,367 | Smile | 81,297,737 | Bite Me | 73,598,098 | Let Me Go | 68,004,314 | Nobody's Home | 67,633,749 | Rock N Roll | 60,880,768 | Hot | 53,955,477 | Hello Kitty | 46,038,638 | Flames | 45,581,922 | Don't Tell Me | 42,525,535 | Losing Grip | 41,294,679 | Give You What You Like | 40,473,152 | Alice | 38,515,460 | Innocence | 38,083,742 | Tell Me It's Over | 36,249,889 | Love It When You Hate Me | 33,889,773 | The Best Damn Thing | 28,785,256 | Dumb Blonde | 28,752,855 | Fall to Pieces | 25,298,256 | I Fell in Love with the Devil | 23,463,535 | Bois Lie | 20,620,683 | He Wasn't | 20,197,337 | Mobile | 16,923,785 | Goodbye | 10,218,917 | Fly | 9,493,470 | Breakaway | 5,827,722 | I'm a Mess | 4,772,028 | Best Years of Our Lives | 2,289,046 |
"Alice" combines the soundtrack and extended version. "Goodbye" combines the georestricted version on the original album and the version from the extended album. sorry for the off-topic, but how do you check stats on Spotify?

Oh my, I really don't like it. It sounds like a duet, I don't think her voice fits this at all.

This is atrocious. She's had some bops, but this ain't it.
