ok. now really coming on Friday. "obsessed" still the focus track. Yet this. Which are we to believe? I don't see them promoting both songs at once. At any rate, it's rarely been mentioned that the album has actually held surprisingly well on the chart, still #14 in its 27th week. This is pretty remarkable for an album that's had no standout tracks besides Vampire. It seems her overall streaming (and album sales) are still high, so general interest in her still remains strong.

I just want to know who is the source of the embed X/tweet above because I don't see where it's been said that "love is embarrasing" will/is going to be the next single from the album. Also, the phrase 'expected to be' seems more like a rumour (or a fan fiction) to me honestly.

The tour + holidays will push guts to around 600k pure sales which is in line with Billie’s last release. On the album front she’s still competitive with the top sellers outside of the Taylor outlier.

Hm, “new versions” is very specific. I wondered if it’s possible that what she wrote was just misinterpreted but that seems explicit. I’m curious to see how drastic the changes are.

She needs to fire her team ASAP. Um she's about to earn 50 million dollars or so from the tour. She's not firing anyone

She's not firing anyone She let people go from her team between SOUR and GUTS, so it’s not unimaginable that she would fire people... especially since the fact that her tour is doing well is because of her and her music moreso than because of her team.

Just finished my listen of the deluxe, and I completely agree with Rosaliner that the deluxe really adds something to the experience here. These are all really solid tracks here. "Girl I've Always Been" is particularly a really cool sound I'd love to see her explore more, and "Obsessed" definitely sounds like single material. I'd rank them as follows on first listen:
1. Girl I've Always Been 2. Obsessed 3. So American 4. Stranger 5. Scared of My Guitar

Just listened to the deluxe tracks and I like all of the songs. My favorites are "Obsessed" and "Scared of My Guitar". I do wish "Girl I've Always Been" would have been longer.
Now, for her next era, I hope she ventures out a bit more because I feel most of her music is starting to blend together a little bit too much. I love the songs but still hope she gives us something fresh for the third album.

^ That's really good if you ask me! All five new tracks debuting with over 1 million, and would be much higher in rank if not for Future/Metro Boomin.
obsessed also at #46 and so american at #189 on Apple Music so far.

The deluxe release was a good idea. As much of a mess as this era has been handled, this should boost the album quite nicely and "Obsessed" should be able to become a nice sized hit, hopefully another top 10!

I am exceptionally late to the party, but I listened to this for the first time tonight with low expectations.
Some context before I give my thoughts - I could not get into Sour other than "good 4 u." As a 30-something, most of that album was too much of a high-schooler perspective for me to relate to it much, but I thought she had a solid pen and good instincts that would improve over time.
AND BOY HAS SHE IMPROVED.
From the reviews on this board, I thought we were getting Sour Pt. 2 with a few bratty pop punk records and a bunch of acoustic teenage ballads, but that was not the case AT ALL. The lyrics showed growth as a songwriter and wisdom beyond her years (Making The Bed especially). The album was varied and kept me interested to see what was coming next. The deluxe tracks didn't fit the vibe of the standard completely, but they were 90s alternative throwbacks that I loved! I immediately wanted to listen again when it ended and now I'm sad that the singles were mismanaged because it's such a good record. I wish she had been nominated for more Grammys because it was certainly deserving.
