No streaming weight = no longevity. That’s just where we are, and it doesn’t help her case that she’s a 40 year old woman. (39 still…but still.)
She’s got her tour sales, and that’s what’s gonna keep her afloat. That’s how it is for any artist of her caliber—she’s fast approaching “legacy act” status, having been in the game for nearly 20 years now.

I just hope this doesn't discourage her from further releasing albums like it seems to have discouraged some other artists.

In all likelihood, this era will be relatively over for Carrie after March. She will probably have a few events here or there, like some award show performances and some small things, but it looks to be largely over relatively soon with the major promo with the tour ending. Carrie always says that when she finishes a tour, she asks herself what’s next. So to me, that sort of indicates this will be relatively it for the era promo wise. Was anyone else a little bit disappointed with it? I do not mean creatively, creatively I absolutely loved this album and I bop to it all the time, literally every single day.
But it seems like this era, something happened promo wise. There’s just usually more noise for Carrie eras. There seemed to be a lack of any real promo from her team, and largely, ordinary people may not even know the album was released. I’ve been discussing this with a few other people at Carriefans, and the consensus really seems to be that her team is not really doing anything to promote someone of her star power. It just feels like her team is stuck in the ways of promoting an artist in the early 2000s, and that’s no longer working. With this era and album, there just seems to be no noise. There wasn’t much where the album came out and there really hasn’t been any sense. The songs aren’t streaming or anything. There seems to be a complete lack of effort from carries team or UMG to promote her songs on streaming or to get them to succeed in streaming. I fully believe that her songs and music, can succeed in streaming, because she’s had even kind of recently. A big problem is, her Christmas singles and gospel album (both recent) did better than anything from this album.
Was anyone else a bit disappointed with the buzz and overall promo of this era too? I just feel like so much more could be done for someone of Carrie’s star power that isn’t being done. The career choices over the past few years, especially this era, seem stale and are not what needs to happen in today's market.
I loved this album so much. Carrie has said herself she’s a competitive person and it’s sad that there wasn’t much done this era aside from the tour to make this era a hit.
I truly hope I am not upsetting anyone with this post, it is just something me and a few others have been feeling/discussing. I really hope next era, which very well may begin next year, brings some spark back into Carrie’s career because I really believe it’s possible.

Surprised no one has updated this thread with the deluxe tracks today
I would but i don’t have spotify
I noticed people in the artist thread seem to love “Damage” but so far i think thats my least favorite of the new tracks Really like Drunk & Hungover though! And of course the other 3 too. A live version of a random album track just seems weird to me. However, i do hope its a prelude to a 30-40 track live album in the future. Comeplete with concert dvd of course😎

For me, it's probably:
1. Out of That Truck 2. Give Her That 3. Drunk and Hungover 4. Damage 5. Take Me Out
Ironic that's the exact order they appear on the tracklisting, too, lmao. I absolutely LOVE everything about the first three. The melodies are incredible and I'm a slut for a strong melody first and foremost... which is why "Take Me Out" is at the bottom for me. Zzzzz. "Damage" is good but it's definitely a rung below the others. It feels less engaging from a melodic standpoint, and the other three are all among the best offerings from the entire album considering the original set of songs imo. I'm really satisfied with the re-release tracks overall and think this was a worthwhile move on her part to bolster the project.

Why are 4/5 deluxe tracks better than a good portion of the standard album. These songs all feel like old school Carrie. The only one I don’t care for is TMO.

Even TMO has something great to offer, although I’ll admit that I don’t gravitate towards that one while streaming music. “Give Her That” is so great, and OOTT goes so hard. “Drunk and Hungover” and “Damage,” on the other hand, are two of the best songs she’s ever slapped her name on. Those should’ve been on the album without question.
I need either of those latter two to smash immediately.
