Billboard Hot 100: 03/23/2024

[neel]

Couple minutes until Ariana's first album in nearly four years.

[fridayteenage]

well that was a boring song from Jennie. probably my least fave of her music so far.

[Caviar]

Out!

[iHype.]

After listening, my main thoughts on Ariana’s album is that it’s just too short and doesn’t have any true hits. Both are a recipe for weak chart performance and reception.

It’s nothing “bad” per se, but after you listen to it you are left desiring more…

Will this finally be Kanye’s week since payolaboard is more than certain to cook the books for teddy swims last week?

true story sounds like an instant hit to me

I think 3 or 4 aongs are good and could work as singles. I just know Yes and? is the worst song on the album and I think the album is a 5 out of 10.

Imo, Yes,And? is the most radio friendly. Nothing else stands out and I am not impressed with her vocals on most of the songs.

I do feel she should release this as the second single.

I just don't see it with Yes And? and I think it was obviously the general public didn't either, which is why streaming was so bad, and radio cut it loose. I think anything else would have worked better, but it's just not a strong album, and I don't know why she doesn't sing to her best ability on at least 1 song an album. It's like she holds back on every single song. I think we're gonna see strong first week streaming and then an absolute collapse like Yes And? did.

Not everything will be a huge mega smash and that's okay. Every artists career has highs and lows. This is nothing new 

Yes, And? is obviously the most radio friendly song

Utopia still has 2 tracks in the top 25 on US Spotify, 7 months after release! “FE!N” at #11 and “I KNOW ?” at #25. I really like the longevity of this album!

[rideordie]

Kanye no longer releasing?

[lazer]

We Can’t Be Friends sounds generic. The Boy Is Mine or True Story would be better choices.

I'm sure it'll grow on me (although positions never did) but the Ariana album manages to feel boring, rushed, incomplete and samey. I don't actively dislike any of it, but there's just no... point? Adding the context of it being sort of done just because she found herself not busy for a few months during the strikes it just feels like a quick way to make some money without actual passion behind the music.

Considering what happened with Vultures 1 and his previous recent projects, we shouldn't be surprised at this point.

[s9983]

Yea cardi definitely got a hit on her hands with this one wow, should've been dropped instead of that freestyle

[s9983]

Also Ariana dropped a really great, cohesive album honestly. Was surprised how much I liked it, as I usually don't get into her albums as much. Obviously no commercial smashes but it's a really great album nonetheless

Decent first day for Ariana on Spotify. Pretty consistent with other artists who took a long break from releasing.
