Better placement than Treat Myself, so that’s a win.

Happy for her. So many of us counted her out after the terrible Treat Myself rollout, but Ms. M. Train is here to stay! They better dump all the budget into making "Made You Look" a Top 10 hit.

She's so endearing. Her personality/vibe always seems really fun and genuine. Niche response, but if you’ve ever seen a “character” video on Twitter/IG of Meg Stalter (“Hacks”), this video is 10x more enjoyable lmao.

Made You Look debuts on the Hot 100 at 95 with 20 Taylor Swift debuts above it!
I really never expected her to get a top 20 album and Hot 100 charting hit ever again, go Meghan!
Really proud.

Her debut era was phenomenal.
"Dear Future Husband" hasn't aged well though.

Was surprised at LIGLY only being a few times platinum, then saw they updated it. So happy for Meghan!!
Biggest surprise is Close Your Eyes going Gold. Love that. Definitely underrated track of hers.

Any other thoughts for what should be a single?
I really would like to see Superwoman released at some point. Got to be one of my favorite Meghan songs, and it’s *so* relateable without being corny.

"Takin' It Back" and "Don't I Make It Look Easy" are both begging to be released. I don't think it's realistic to expect a fifth single in 2022 however successful this era might become...

I don’t know if they would make the best singles but my favorite tracks her latest album are probably “Dance About It and Takin It Back” besides for maybe “Bad For Me”. I was into “Shook” for a bit but I think I’m close to resting it for a bit.

So how is Made You Look doing? It's everywhere on TikTok (I believe it even got to #1 on the app), but it's still not top 60 on the Hot 100? Does that mean it's only viral outside the US?

I think it should go flying up and hit the top 40 in the next two weeks.

Made You Look is definitely a viral hit at this point. 53 million Spotify streams, 20 million Youtube streams, and now a second video racking up streams

I mean, of course it is something, but being the #1 song on TikTok I was expecting it to be at least top 10 on Billboard (after all the Taylor and Drake songs, but still). Or does it take a while for viral songs to reflect on streaming platforms)?

Interested to see if her XMas album sees some new interest with the attention she's getting from Made You Look

Made You Look top 10 on the Billboard Global 200. Hope the US catches up.

I do wonder how the album would have fared if Made You Look or Don't I Make It Look Easy were the first single. There's obviously still an appetite for her, but a ballad as first single was probably a wrong choice by the label.

I do wonder how the album would have fared if Made You Look or Don't I Make It Look Easy were the first single. There's obviously still an appetite for her, but a ballad as first single was probably a wrong choice by the label. Someone in the thread made a very interesting analysis that Bad For Me was picked to just tend to the core Hot AC audience and get her name out there in a more slow-burn way throughout the summer before Made You Look was to smash. (And now Bad For Me does well with recurrent streaming.) I think all of us were like wtf is Epic doing with Bad For Me, but I think we should probably trust them on this. Album cycles are different now, and Meghan was in a very specific situation. She had a smash hit in the wings but only if Tik Tok gave it the proper foundation, and sometimes, building up to a moment is what allows the moment to actually happen and take off. If Meghan had come from the void and just released Made You Look, it genuinely may not have done well. Remember, even though Bad For Me wasn’t really a hit (and of course everyone would’ve preferred if it was), it did at least give Meghan a reason to be back in everyone’s faces for a bit. You also want to solve the issue of getting her name back out there to prepare for the album while setting the album up for maximum success by having the smash single while the album is *out*. Especially during the holiday season when is the only time albums might actually *sell*. It was thoughtful and they’re putting a lot of effort into her campaign and it’s working. Probably a very good example of when record execs know a bit more about what they’re doing than “release the smash single now!!111” Stan-mantra.

Interested to see if her XMas album sees some new interest with the attention she's getting from Made You Look I hope so! Her Christmas album is really strong. I've also heard her version of White Christmas in the store the other day (I'll Be Home is also a retail staple and has been for years), and Holidays popped up on my gym's playlist yesterday. Granted, my gym uses one of those deals where the patrons can select music via an app, but still cool.
