Deluxe version out April 5 at midnight ET, including "Sunset" and three live acoustic versions. I am beyond tired of this damn trend of releasing multiple versions of the same album within the same week. This is now the third version of this album released within the past seven days. Just.... ugh. That being said, I just heard "Sunset" and it's the best damn thing on this whole project. She SERVED! I wish the whole album was in this vein. Also, all 3 of these versions and yet the Grammy performance of "Anyone" still isn't on any of them. Also surprised "Still Have Me" hasn't snuck onto any of them yet either considering its lyrical content and even production fits right in. I would be content with it not being on the album at all had "Anyone" and "I Love Me" not been tacked on already. (Also why is "I love Me" on the expanded version, which came out second, but not on the deluxe edition, which came third?) It's probably all coming with the fourth release of the album, Dancing with the Devil: The Art of Starting Over (Expanded Deluxe Edition) which will include all tracks on the standard, expanded, and deluxe editions, including "Sober," "Anyone (Grammy)," "Still Have Me," "Commander in Chief," three new remixes because why not, and what the hell let's through "Body Say" on it too.

There’s also a download of the standard album available on her website with a limited edition cover in case you need to complete your collection. http://instagram.com/p/CNY9OVJjqx9

We’re firmly in the thick of the new album, but I’m still discovering how big, brash, and bold ‘Sorry Not Sorry’ was. Having been weaned on a different slate of music, I didn’t appreciate it in the beginning and derided it when it first came out. I remember snickering at a review that said it’s unlistenable. Now, however, I hear why it was a big hit.
‘I Love Me’ has a similar structure and production sequence to ‘Sorry Not Sorry.’ It’s obvious they tried to recreate it with a more personal touch. Of course, this replication resulted to ‘’I Love Me’ sounding like the mediocre younger kin of ‘Sorry Not Sorry.’ Good thing we will always have the original.

I'll give miss Leviticus a shot and hear her new project. I tend to find artists who can sing usually sing their best after turmoil and personal drama. However Nora "He wears this dress better than any of you nappy ass heauxzs" mildew sister can miss me with that feature. I'll edit her ass right out

Those are great numbers for Demi. Keep in mind that TMYLM opened up with 74K units (with a tour bundle IIRC). I'm pissed that she's going to miss number one by just 5K.

These sales look very healthy! They’re respectable even without considering the fumbles of her label and management. I hope they support the album through a lengthy campaign beginning with an actual radio single.

I love that she stays pretty consistent. Hope the Ari single will keep this afloat.

For perspective:
Don’t Forget: #2, 89k
Here We Go Again: #1, 108k.
Unbroken: #4, 97k.
Demi: #3, 110k.
Confident: #2, 98k SPS (77k sales).
Tell Me You Love Me: #3, 74k SPS (48k sales).
Dancing with the Devil...The Art of Starting Over: #2, 74k SPS (38k sales).
Seven consecutive top-4 debuts is impressive all things considered.

Dancing with the Devil...The Art of Starting Over: #2, 74k SPS (38k sales). Seven consecutive top-4 debuts is impressive all things considered. The runner-up finishes are a bit dismaying because, again, had her label and management planned and prepared for the album campaign better, she probably would have secured the pinnacle positions for both the US and the UK charts. Nonetheless, those are pretty good numbers that show Demi’s fanbase is solid: They have grown up with her through the years. Among all the personalities that were able to transcend the Disneyland cage, Demi has seen the most number of reinventions and pivotal occasions, musically and personally speaking. It’s always a wonder what she’ll be doing next.

I'm honestly surprised she's returning to acting. After her Disney Channel days, I thought she would have became strictly a singer. I'm excited to see how this turns out!

Release Lonely People and The Way You Don't Look At Me and maybe My Girlfriends, but I have a feeling that will stay an album bop and instead they are insistent on that turgid Ari song. The more I hear that song, the less I like it, actually. I don't hear Demi in it at all.

Just watched the documentary and started listening to the album yesterday.
I am so concerned and worried about her wellness. I do think some time out of the spotlight would help her.
But I think her artistry and legacy are coming along really well. She really is making an impact with her transparency and I wish her music continued success.

I like her but i just can’t at her sometimes. Now she’s using her voice and her big social media platform to destroy a small business because they’re doing good thing (in this case, providing sugar free food option).

She’s addressing her dislike towards ice cream company because they are selling sugar free cookies, saying thats it praises disordered eatings.

What about people who have an aversion to sugar though (such as diabetics, other illnesses and disorders)?

Now she’s using her voice and her big social media platform to destroy a small business because they’re doing good thing (in this case, providing sugar free food option). it's so weird. the store responded saying "we carry items for people who are diabetics, have celiac's disease, vegan, and many indulgent items as well" but she's trying to continue beefing with them. it's a confusing outrage because they're just a froyo shop that has a wide range of options?? it's like calling out Whole Foods for selling low-fat milk next to whole milk.

I feel like people have been a bit hard on Demi recently, but this is ridiculous.
This may sound insensitive to some, but the world isn’t responsible for your triggers. It’s hard to be reminded of your trauma, but we can’t put a TW in the supermarket. Like, jeez.
