Olivia vs. BTS Week 2, plus the late DMX's posthumous album. Let's go!

[fridayteenage]

It'll be interesting to see if the rock-solid daily holds will continue for Queen Olivia.

[Enyasurvivor]

Don't count out Eminem & Jack Harlow. I could see that challenging for the top ten especially since it's pretty good

[dremolus - solarpunk]

Really no big releases this week so this is a breather week. Really interested to see how well Olivia does on her second week

[shaz196]

A deluxe version of Juice WRLD's debut album, Goodbye and Good Riddance was released to celebrate it's 3rd anniversary.

The milking of Juice's legacy continues


Cordae and Jack did their best to save this

[gikem]

For the record, BTS actually released a music video for the Hotter Version, so it’s nice to know that they’re actually taking the remix thing a bit more seriously this time rather than just shelling out 10 for no reason other than to juice sales.

Don't really think the cash grab argument applies with Juice WRLD's team, every song they've released, with the exception of Smile, were recorded in their entirety while he was still alive. The remix of Lucid Dreams with Lil Uzi was recorded in 2018, but blocked due to the Sting lawsuit.

[nathanalbright]

It's hardly surprising that a label would want to profit off of what is already recorded and in the can, but at some point there are diminishing returns, especially when an artist is unable to revise what was put down and decide what does and what does not reflect where they are.

If the Uzi remix was an old recording they couldn't release until now well fair, I guess. Still, there's just something rather gross about re-releasing an album by a dead person virtually unchanged. At least Taylor Swift's vocals changed and made the production cleaner for her Taylor Version. Lady Gaga is getting other artists to do re-imaginings of songs. As far as I can tell, there's nothing new besides 734 and the Lucid Dreams remix, both of which could've been released individually.

Remember, she said that if Say So went #1, she’d show her breasts to twitter, so this is nothing new.

[𝕡𝕙𝕖𝕖𝕓𝕤]

They could’ve at least waited for the 5th anniversary but eh

He passed so young....

[jthentic]

I'm pretty sure nw, they gonna fk up Juice's legacy da same way they did with X. These continuous half-ass posthumous releases are such dud (barring few) (also I hate these annoying animations😅) .

Btw Cordae deserved better than dat tyga x g eazy-ish garbage 💀

Imagine if they had released it in September/October 2018 when the song was hot on the heels of Girls Like You for weeks. I think it could’ve gone to #1 like it really should have.

The difference with Juice WRLD and xxxtentacion is that xxxtentacion's team were releasing literal demo tapes and Frankenstein mash-ups of previous songs. Every song Juice WRLD's team has released since he passed away were already recorded prior, the exception being Smile where they added a verse from The Weekend post-production. Bad Boy, for example even had a video that was shot with Young Thug in October 2019.

Juice has hundreds of recorded songs so there's no need for them to release demo tapes, mash-up songs, or fake songs (like Sony did with MJ). So long as there is still demand for new songs, which there must be if his leaks are still selling for hundreds of dollars, then I don't see an issue.

Now they definitely could've done a much better job with this anniversary edition of GBGR, I'll agree with that 100%.

But I feel like there isn't even that big of a demand for new material. As long as they have Juice's name and recognition on there, they know it'll attract some attention and they can sell and put out whatever song. 

[Mayman]

Honestly though, I feel like Juice's posthumous releases haven't been all too bad. His 2021 single releases have been pretty mediocre, but a good amount of the material on the Legends Never Die album was pretty good imo. "Righteous" is one of his best songs and I enjoyed some of the other songs like "Wishing Well", "Come & Go", "Conversations", "Life's A Mess", etc.

You have to realize that there is a whole community that bid hundreds, probably thousands for his leaked music. The Lucid Dreams remix was allegedly sold to someone for $12k last week.

His label and estate see these things and of course they would rather make money on the songs than leakers. I still think the way they've gone about it is a lot less awful than the posthumous releases we've gotten from other artists.

[Groovy]

This week’s a stalemate, let’s just move on to 6/19

[13]

Olivia is 9/10 on Spotify and 8/10 on AM on day 8, I guess she's doing alright

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

Butter was performed today at the Good Morning America show.

[thegreatdivine]

Yes, Billie, rack up as many top 10 hits as possible.
