The album sounds like it should be called Songs About Bieber so...it probably is. As long as it sounds good, I don't care though. What troubles me is the fact that her stans have to resort to hating on Bieber and trying to "block" him in order for her to shine. Barely any promo, a dead Pulse thread...it's just not looking good. I mean, she will always have the loosies she attached to the album for streaming and also the success of I Had To Hate Justin To Love Me but...that's not enough, ultimately. Maybe she could borrow her BFF's vocal coach in the interim?

Justin made an album about their breakup. Why can't Selena? Didn't say she couldn't. This is the correct answer.

I understand, but I interpreted it as rather judgemental. Sorry if that wasn't the intended tone. Anyways, I'm excited to listen to "Fun" after all the speculation that it's about Abel.

Not many slow songs. Based on what MrS from Atrl posted, it sounds like a very poppy album.

This is going to be amazing. Really perched for "People You Know", "Dance Again", and "Vulnerable".

There's so much excitement and hype for the album! I can't believe it hasn't leaked yet considering Target putting out the albums on shelves early and how easily it could've been stolen. This will probably be the first time an album from Selena didn't leak, correct? I'm so ready aaah!
I still wish "Feel Me" was on the album. A classic banger. I've been listening to it on repeat for the past 2 days while waiting for the album. A classic.
Based off the descriptions, every song sounds absolutely amazing. (Except maybe "Fun"... but I'll reserve my judgement on that one)

"Lose You To Love Me" coming to be her first solo! Maybe in 2 years!

"A Sweeter Place" and "Dance Again" are so catchy! Both would definitely work as singles. "Cut You Off" is good too, but it's the chorus that really makes it shine.

800 million is a random arbitrary number to be using a stat for, lol.
Anyway, none of those 4 have reached 1 billion yet, but she's not far off from her first 1 billion track.
We Don't Talk Anymore 934316831 It Ain't Me 927125115 Taki Taki 918333000 Wolves 799952619
Taki Taki will likely be the first to get there. It's currently outpacing IAM and WDTA.
LYTLM is at 281,016,486 and LAHN is at 116,443,161 for reference.

She really chose the wrong singles for this album. So many better songs on here.

I hope it's for "People You Know" or "Dance Again". I heard they were really strong tracks. Can't wait to listen tonight!
For those who've heard the album, how's "Fun"? I've heard mixed reactions.

I haven't listened to the entire album, but I've listened to Fun. It took me a while to get used to the pause (you'll know it when you hear it), but it's a pretty catchy pop song once you get used to it.

Album is out TOMORROW with no second single. Do they really expect it to sell based on Lose You To Love Me? Also, maybe in Canada Target puts out albums early but in the US, Target doesn't even always put their EXCLUSIVE albums on shelves on release day half the time. I have been to multiple Targets in multiple states in the afternoon and have had to chase down employees to find an album on release day and even then...I get a "Sorry, we can't find it in the backroom." LOL.

The album went #1 on New Zealand iTunes within 45 minutes. It's trending on Twitter and it's not even out in most territories yet. Besides, LYTLM is still in the top ten. It has showed longevity, the album will sell. Worry about "Yummy" not selling.

Anyways, I'm not the one screaming about how their fave's ex is going to flop due to lack of thread pages.

I get that you are a new member, missamerican, but you MIGHT want to look at the rules before accusing someone of something they clearly didn't do. I could just as easily claim you calling me "sweetie" is a personal attack since it is demeaning, condescending, and degrading but...that's another issue. You literally know nothing about me or what "screaming" (LOL) looks like, but I will tell you that Bieber is far from a fave of mine. I like his last couple albums and his new song. That's it. I probably played the loosies YOUR fave left the last couple years more than anything released by Bieber, but keep writing this bizarre narrative you are writing. Also, I'm not nearly as "worried" about Yummy "not selling" as you seem to be. That said, I hope for your sake that the album DOES sell, but I am not a psychic or fortune teller, so I cannot predict that.

I'm with Active Aggressive on this one. I follow music pretty damn closely and I like Selena quite a bit and I had no idea this was coming out tomorrow until this week. I completely forgot because her promo has been virtually non-existent. Especially for an artist of her stature. I'm sure it'll have a solid debut though, she's a streaming force and has a dedicated fanbase. But I feel like this launch has been muted af and she could pull bigger numbers (and be a bigger artist, period) if she hit the streets and pushed it. But I know she has anxiety issues and making the rounds really isn't her thing these days (and I'm sure she's still burned after that AMA's response as well). But "excitement" and "hype"? Not sure if those are the words I'd use.

That said, I hope for your sake that the album DOES sell, but I am not a psychic or fortune teller, so I cannot predict that. Calling somebody "sweetie" isn't comparable to asking somebody how often somebody's on their mind. Anyways, I apologize if you found it aggressive. And, Selena isn't my fave but that isn't too relevant right now. You kept on mentioning the lack of excitement towards the album with very little evidence, and it seemed silly to base that off of a small amount of thread pages when the album thread is far bigger on other music discussion sites. But the point is, I'm sorry if I came off as rude or judgemental in anyway and I hope we can avoid this happening again.
