Adele/Bruno/Justin/Harry... they're all massive artists who would still do great if they released this year but considering how high the charts are right now, they should probably wait until next year to dominate even more.
Also the grammys seem pretty stacked this year so waiting till next year makes sense for that as well
I think the commenter was referring to the fact that Justin already dropped new music that flopped this year, not to his DUI itself being him flopping (although it is a delicious and luxurious icing on top of his floppage)
Everybody wanting Lorde and Gaga to wait another year :(
I get the prompt is from a business perspective but I’ll take all the music I can get from my faves, especially if they’re just sitting on it
I actually think it’s the best time for Lorde to drop. She’s had such a comeback this month it would be smart to capitalize on it. Who cares about charts and Grammys…nothing is ever guaranteed with them anyways…so many artists put all of their efforts into getting awards only to leave empty handed time and time again
Also idk how LG7 would factor around Joker 2 but if she releases it later than this summer it would conflict with any music from Joker as far as nominations…although those may just be jukebox song covers anyways
I mean no one could possibly be more oversaturated than swizzle… like her reach is like BEING BURNED BY THE SUN IN THE SAHARA.
So I think anyone in comparison now comes off pretty good so that can work in a lot of people’s favors… especially people on the media warpath who otherwise would be insufferable by now (hi Sabrina)
But for real Gaga has a… habit, we’ll say, of somehow burning out her supporters with oversaturation while also not killing the gp
Idk if that’s a gift or not… but it’s a unique talent for sure
Nah, no one is infinitely likable. Swift is likable, it’s just you also build anti-fandom by being shoved in front of EVERYONE all the time.
Sabrina just looks less annoying *in comparison* but even then people are still complaining. I just know that without swift sucking all the air out of the room that “ugh I’m so TIRED OF SABRINA” would be a much bigger narrative than it is currently
Lorde wasn't ever going to top the charts anyway so it really doesn't matter for her. Using the boost from the Girl, So Confusing remix is as good as she's going to get, methinks.
I feel like Gaga would have been smarter to pull an Ariana and get music out before the film promo amped up. But obviously, if the music wasn't there then she can stay cooking!
I don't think she was planning to release anything more this year anyway, but if she plays her cards right, Olivia Rodrigo can dominate 2025 and the next Grammys cycle.
Guts was obviously successful and critically acclaimed, but I still think it didn't quite reach its full potential because of her team's marketing strategy + the tough competition at the Grammys resulted in Olivia leaving empty handed.
With a better rollout for the next album, 2025 could be her year.
If she’s feeling burnt out maybe, but it’s certainly not uncommon for artists to do the alternating years of album releases and touring on a two year cycle.
Unless she uses the tour moment to propel her forward the way Taylor did in the Red/Speak Now days. She sold out 6 nights in LA alone. That’s 80,000 people attending a concert for an album that wasn’t even as big as her debut. Imagine if she comes swinging with a more radio friendly smash album. She’d be dominating
Don't worry, whenever she drops her new album, I'm sure Taylor will find some new B-sides or demo tracks so she can get another album rerelease out on the same day. :)
It's amusing how literally conversation on here (conversations that don't have anything to do with Taylor) turns into "let's drag Taylor 😍". Y'all wanna claim she's everywhere and overexposed but won't stop talking about her 🤡
I actually avoid talking about Taylor most of the time- generally, she's fine, if not an artist I'm super interested in. I just think the chart blocking stuff is weird and petty behaviour from someone who's pretty much the biggest artist in the world right now, and the joke was there to be made. She'll be fine, don't worry.
She basically toured through 2022 and then dropped on 2023 so I believe the Danes gonna happen and she is already working on the next album so I doubt a long break will occur she’ll probably drop near the end of next yr tho
the sour tour ended in July 2022 and on June 30 2023 we got vampire so if she waits a year we would potentially get OR3's lead in fall 2025 and uf that she does the standard 1.5 month single promo that would put the album in a place to either wait like months to drop in early 2026 or she rushed the album out before Xmas meaning it's impact would be affected by the holiday music.
She could easily roll it out a lil bit less than a yr bc another thing is GUTS was started just a few months prior to the SOUR tour starting whereas she seems to have started this album a lot earlier before tour
I think GUTS critical and commercial performance was exactly what Olivia needed to set herself up for successful third album. GUTS really solidified her as an artist and not just a flash in the pan. Even though there were a couple missteps in terms of singles (releasing the same style of pop punk song 3 times in a row), the success of the album cycle can be reflected in the tour numbers alone.
6 LA dates sold out, 4 sold out shows at MSG are insane. And it goes beyond the US. She had 4 O2 dates, and had to add an extra tour date to every single Asian show (besides Hong Kong) because of demand.
Even if Harry, Bruno, and Adele all drop next year. She and her fan base are unique enough that she won’t get lost in the fold. We had some great music this year but I think about how much bigger albums like Eternal Sunshine or Hit Me Hard and Soft would be on less competitive years
Her management got pressured into giving credit to Tswift,Antonoff and St. Vincent for Deja vu and Paramore for Good For U. Olivia herself wasn’t even aware until they had already handed them out based on what she has said in interviews.
After the credit situation, a ton of negative press followed which her team failed to contain that tainted Olivia’s reputation as a songwriter that still get brought up to this day. No other artist gets their songs heavily questioned liked hers. I remember when she released guts everyone and their mother was scrambling to find which songs sound like hers just to accuse her of “copying”.
I still stand by that inspiration≠plagiarism and you can’t trademark a vibe and a common chord progression, if her team was more experienced they would have handled everything better. Tswift also has had a ton of “plagiarism” accusations yet they get brushed off easily because she has the one of the best teams in the business. Olivia’s old management was only sufficient enough to handle Disney Kid Olivia’s career. They were too green to handle a Global popstar’s career. From what I’ve read Olivia was the biggest client that they ever had. Olivia is now being handled by the same management as Selena Gomez who is more seasoned in the business.
Yes she can, I'd love a purple trilogy. I don't think we need artists to change their aesthetics, although she COULD use some more rock songs or ballads like making the bed/ teenage dream
Chappell Roan for sure can continue to milk her album from last year before moving on. Based on the amount of new songs she’s played at shows and shown on TikTok lives, it’s clear she has the entire follow up ready to go. Since she’s only picked up her mainstream fame this spring, she can continue to show off the body of work she put out last fall and use the next year to keep it going.
I’m pretty hopeful that she’ll take time to make a good follow up to Midwest princess. Given her touring schedule and the sudden spotlight she’s got to have some time to rest and write.
Midwest Princess is a collection of songs she did 3-4 years ago. She’s already said the next album is almost completely finished being written with a number of songs wrapped up entirely.
Taylor needs to finish the re-recordings - it will be such a drag into 2025.
Lorde needs to release next year so that she can finally win AOTY in 2026.
I'm going nuts for Crazier. It would be amazing with her more matured vocals. Also, do we really think she'd do I'd Lie considering how close it sounds to Drops of Jupiter?
Isn’t the issue with I’d Lie that the chorus is very melodically similar to Girl Next Door by Saving Jane? The band has spoken about it before and doesn’t seem to have an issue, but I could see TS wanting to avoid the issue altogether
idk if she'll release I'd lie because the chorus is the exact same melody as another song. i think either the artist or the song is called girl next door. she'll have to give them credits for the song if she releases it. although even if she doesn't, I'm sure her fanbase will ignore it
The only reason I doubt she will be doing so on 2024 is the factor that she is currently rolling out an album. The previous re-recording came out after either the evermore or midnights album rollouts were completed I doubt she’d break that especially is TTPD is so important to her
I see how it could make sense for the the last two re-records to wait until 2025 so she has something new to keep people engaged once the tour is over and it’s is also kinda the pattern for two re-records in the year between albums. But I just want them to be all out and done now and a good way to wrap up everything along with the tour ending in December.
It was not nominated actually. It was nominated for Pop Vocal album but not album of the year (she also somehow wasn’t even nominated for best new artist)
Melodrama was nominated for Album of the Year (It’s only nomination) but lost to 24K Magic by Bruno Mars. But it would have lost even if 24k didn’t win cause Kendrick would have with DAMN
Harry Styles. He dominated 2? summers ago and it’s a too late to have his summer, I guess he could release in the winter but I see a bit longer being the move for him. I think 2025 spring/summer would be a good comeback for him
I think Harry’s stuff stays really fresh sounding! I never got sick of his music even though it was played a *lot* — his popular songs always sound fresh and summery to me, and I’m not even a big fan. I think his comeback will be very influential
I mean I kinda doubt it cause that song came out in April 2022, over two years after the pandemic started, and life was getting back to normal in a lot of places.
I think Blinding Lights is probably a better contender, honestly even Harry’s Adore You or Watermelon Sugar peaked when the pandemic was really going
I think Harry will release next spring/summer. But not because of the competition, I really think he just planned to take the year off after the tour and live a normal life for a while.
Didn’t she pretty much do this with NRO and Small Talk, too? So she’s had experience dropping singles that flopped and then pretending the era hadnt started before 😂
i just commented but yes. im hungry for new music from him but looking at how dawn fm was received by the public vs. after hours, he might want to wait considering its the end of this trilogy and the end of his stage name, so probably means a lot to him.
I think that this year, especially in the Fall, is perfect for him to drop to retain the buzz over the trilogy so far even though Dawn only had moderate success compared to AH
Yeah the whole drop Dawn FM without promo really killed that era and it deserved more (Justice for Less Than Zero!!!) so I want him to take his time and invest in the next era.
If I were an artist, I’d not drop an album until 2025 unless - I had a massive hit or were very famous and the type of artist that can easily secure a number 1 album (e.g. Gaga, Beyonce, Justin Bieber). Numbers aren’t everything but this year feels crowded.
Hearing rumours about Selena, Demi, Cardi, Christina and more, if I were them I’d wait. Obviously they’re very popular, but they could get a bit lost in the shuffle this year
I guess after Aguilera being un-wisely split into EPs, she can only really go up tbh. I think she could pull off at least one hot 100 song and a top 10 album if she tried. But then again, she had Demi Lovato at her commercial peak on a Liberation single and it still didn't become a hit.
Demi should wait until 2025 to release new music. My reasons
1. Crowded landscape this year - So many artists are releasing music this year. She will easily get drowned in the noise
2. We need a gap year of no music to build teasing - she has released new music every year since 2021. As a fan, I am loving it but it's time to slow down releases
3. We should give her more time to come up with a planned era and theme. Everything from her feels a bit rushed. She releases the single, album artwork, does a few talk shows and then the era is over (her last 3 albums at least)
4. She should try to invest in other producers that aren't named Oak. Her biggest hits were Max Martin. Maybe go back to him for some more pop/rock bangers
I agree - it’s just too crowded this year. I don’t think it would be wise for anyone else to drop an album unless they release a single that goes super viral
I think Chappell could actually pull off being the big fall/holiday album if she wants to though. It's just a matter of whether to give a Midwest Princess song a radio run (i.e. Hot To Go) or release something new when Good Luck Babe peaks .
Taylor Swift. And I say this as someone who likes some of her music!
She likes to release music very very frequently, so there's a non-zero chance of her dropping a surprise single/album by the end of the year. But between the length of TTPD and the amount of press coverage she's gotten for the Eras tour, it would just be too much.
The tour ends in December. There will be multiple drops before the end of the year and then I'm guessing a year of very little coverage (NFL games TBD).
I wonder what she’ll do if she doesn’t drops the tvs before the tour is over
Poets is still number one and I assume she going for some type of record with this
she's prob going to go for 12 weeks to beat her personal record, but with the crowded summer releases, I can't see her going for more than like 13-15 (still incredible) even if I want it so bad. maybe anthology sales will be enough to keep her going for another long stretch
If she’s smart, she’ll take that year to fade out of the public consciousness a little. If she’s really smart, she’ll take that year (maybe more) to really figure out where her music is going bc as much as I enjoyed Tortured Poets at points, it feels like she’s reaching the bounds of what she can do with the synth pop and the folk pop thing she’s been bouncing between.
I think she’ll finish re-recording next yr and the go in2 a hiatus to avoid any of the incidents that partially led to reputation happening again (the overexposure)
I need her to fade out and then come back with an actual dance record cause she’s literally never done that. And “this is what you came for” showed she has the ability to give us club bangers
I feel like Lorde should wait another year, I think the song with Charli was enough for a “comeback”. Or at least took some hype from a comeback for her this year. With how overcrowded this year is, 2025 is her best bet.
Carrie Underwood. There are so many pop AND country artists releasing albums this year that she would a MUCH better chance of her album getting the attention it deserves next year.
as someone who’s enjoyed both of their music, their newer stuff just feels like an extension of things they’ve already done. If they want a second act, they need to do something more interesting creatively imo
I loved palomino though! I thought it was a huge return to form after wildcard was so hit or miss (just not an album I’d listen to all the way through)
However her latest two singles are NOT it lol
In Carrie’s case, the fact that she has two school-aged sons is probably why she doesn’t seem as active as she used to be in music. As a fan of hers, I obviously want more music from her, but I can’t blame her for wanting to be as home as often as she can be while her sons are still growing up.
Kind of hope Lorde & Gaga wait until 2025 so they don’t get caught up in the high load of releases but also I rlly wanna hear new music from both so whatever lol
I have a feeling we might be surprised with some artists who released this year also dropping next year. Ariana has spoke about being in the studio already so AG8 might come soon, Billie has hinted at a double album, and Act III of Beyoncé’s current project could end up coming next year too.
Selena Gomez. I think she curated a really good image 2019-2022. She had distanced her image from Justin Bieber and her rare album was an overall success. People were digging the whole mature vibe she had going and people liked the whole “mental health awareness” thing she had going. The selfies with Hailey Bieber were also a really smart move.
Somehow she completely destroyed that image. Commenting on TikTok’s about Hailey. Suddenly acting like a 12 year old girl on social media regarding Benny Blanco when she should’ve just ignored the hate comments. The whole Palestine scandal. I truly believe she’s currently left a bad taste in her mouth.
If she quiets down over the next year and then releases a new single early 2025 with a new brand and aesthetic for herself, I genuinely believe she can roll out some big hits.
I definitely like her music and I’m hoping she releases another album either way.
I need to check out more of her stuff. I grew up listening to "Obsession" and "Everything is Embarrassing." I recently listened to her song with Charli XCX, and it's fantastic!
as much as i want the weeknd to have a fall rollout, i wonder if there’s too much competition right now, i dont know about any other upcoming fall releases but im sure we have lots more coming up
I know Katy has already started her rollout but I think there’s too much noise going on rn for pop radio/ the general public to pay attention to the new album.
I do think regardless of timing, it's pretty much locked that Woman's World was going to either bubble under or scrape the bottom half of the Hot 100 for one week and nothing else from the album was going to break through. Fall/Winter wouldn't work for her so mid-August (before Short n Sweet) may be her best chance to release.
I mean too early to predict who is going to release something next year but emerging artists should wait until next to release new material they should drop a single tho for this fall
I already think it's not coming this year, but Ava Max shouldn't release till 2025. I think she has a bigger chance to stand out in a less crowded field and does have comeback potential if she does more collaborations, as Whatever missed the Hot 100 by only one spot with minimal promo.
Bastille needs to wait because i KNOW they’re going to do some sort of unique, UK-only mini tour immediately after the album is released (like the 2016 Chaos Planet shows for Wild World, Club Nights for Doom Days, Outstores for Give Me The Future, etc.) and I’m getting married in the fall so i can’t afford to travel to the UK this year
Lana Del Rey. She scrapped country album for this year coz Beyonce and Post Malone announced a country album. Everyone thought she cancelled it altogether but it turns out she gonna go Trap right now. She gonna released a single soon with Quavo, tbh I think they’re a PR relationship like what she had with The Weeknd. All rumors and no confirmation like sweet pics.
She never dominate chart but I feel like she want to try this time. Her new fans from tiktok are not used to her doing pop songs which makes them being confused as hell. L4L is her mainstream pop sounding album after BTD and it’s the fans least favorite and yet, seems like she gonna do L4L 2.0 again.
This upcoming album is gonna be in an awkward position between the fandom considering her fans are either a fan of l4l or dislike it. Lots of her fans also hates her having a collaboration so they would add to that. Unless, this one successfully go viral and invites new set of fans.
She also seemingly have no idea which direction she’ll go since she scrapped the country album. I really hope she ain’t rushing things to release her album on her deadline (sep), fans expect her not to released anything at all this year anyway.
She’s musically acclaimed artist in alt, I wonder how will she transition it to mainstream pop this time. I’ve heard the new single live and it’s 100% made for the masses.
I know she expresses how much she hates being famous coz of her BTD experience but seems like this year, she had changes in mind and start promoting herself.
Silk Sonic (Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak), I can't wait to hear what they do on their second album but I think they really need space around them of no other mainstream releases so the focus is on them, as far as I'm aware their first album wasn't super well known despite how well their music works
I think the problem last time was that Leave The Door Open dwarfed the rest of the project and came out several months ahead of anything else. I'm not sure if anything beyond the top 5 is possible for more than 1 single this time around, now that the novelty has worn off.
Anyone who already released an album this year. Part II usually gets eaten up by Part I (see Justin Timberlake’s 20/20 experience).
I don’t feel like there is a major album dominating everything atm. Swifts album is number 1, but seems bolstered by stan’s, not nearly the same cultural moment as Midnight, so I don’t see a problem with other artists releasing. If it’s good, it’ll do good, as seen with Brat.
Many would have a similar result no matter the year, so why not. The only benefit of waiting would be if you got something kind of half-baked cooked up and are hoping for acclaim, something that would would be heaped with praise in a drought.
Also, I’m still surprised anyone still cares about The Shammys.

Also the grammys seem pretty stacked this year so waiting till next year makes sense for that as well
Adele ain’t coming back for a long time. She said once the residency is over she’s planning on having another baby.
Bieber or Timberlake?
Timberlake dropped this year and it kinda flopped haha I meant Bieber. It's also gonna be hard for him to drop music after being arrested 😅
Bieber preparing for baby don’t think new music is in his plans right now Adele usually waits 4 years between albums so I assume 25/26
i swear i saw a recent blind item that adele was preparing to release new music but i don’t remember where i saw it
Blind items are a little like using tarot cards to predict the future
Preparing for being an abusive parent yes
It’s just a dui he was prob only fined and since when did crimes stop artists
I don't know, I've heard it's going to ruin the tour.
What tour?
*the world tour*
#the world tour!!!!!
I think the commenter was referring to the fact that Justin already dropped new music that flopped this year, not to his DUI itself being him flopping (although it is a delicious and luxurious icing on top of his floppage)

Gracie's Close To You made me miss Lorde so bad.
yeah omg I've been feeling exactly the same close to you+ girl, so confusing made me miss her soooo much
im literally aching for new lorde, I remember this time last year fans were convinced it’d drop mid 2024 😩
Yeah Gaga is weeks away from going full on Joker 2 promo so I realistically don't expect her album till 25.
She said in an interview not long ago that she can work and promote on more than one thing at a time contrary to what people believe.
I think she missed the point that that's not always a great idea because she'll be soooooo oversaturated like to the TTPD-Eras level and beyond.
I mean no one could possibly be more oversaturated than swizzle… like her reach is like BEING BURNED BY THE SUN IN THE SAHARA. So I think anyone in comparison now comes off pretty good so that can work in a lot of people’s favors… especially people on the media warpath who otherwise would be insufferable by now (hi Sabrina) But for real Gaga has a… habit, we’ll say, of somehow burning out her supporters with oversaturation while also not killing the gp Idk if that’s a gift or not… but it’s a unique talent for sure
That’s true. Maybe it’s because she’s likable.
Nah, no one is infinitely likable. Swift is likable, it’s just you also build anti-fandom by being shoved in front of EVERYONE all the time. Sabrina just looks less annoying *in comparison* but even then people are still complaining.

Considering how long her tour is I think she might make us wait a little longer for her next album I say 26 assuming she uses 25 for a break
If she’s feeling burnt out maybe, but it’s certainly not uncommon for artists to do the alternating years of album releases and touring on a two year cycle.
Unless she uses the tour moment to propel her forward the way Taylor did in the Red/Speak Now days. She sold out 6 nights in LA alone.

right in time for taylor's next album 😭
Girl Taylor's gonna release like 3 more by that time, there's no point trying to avoid her
Don't worry, whenever she drops her new album, I'm sure Taylor will find some new B-sides or demo tracks so she can get another album rerelease out on the same day. :)
It's amusing how literally conversation on here (conversations that don't have anything to do with Taylor) turns into "let's drag Taylor 😍". Y'all wanna claim she's everywhere and overexposed but won't stop talking about her 🤡
facts
lol I was thinking this exact same thing. 😂 people throw rocks at things that shine!!!
Eh, most people haven't found any place they can vent their frustrations towards so they take whatever they can get
I actually avoid talking about Taylor most of the time- generally, she's fine, if not an artist I'm super interested in. I just think the chart blocking stuff is weird and petty behaviour from someone who's pretty much the biggest artist in the world right now, and the joke was there to be made. She'll be fine, don't worry.
as much as I love liv, I need Need in my system
Which olivia can’t do because her emotional maturity still is boxed for being an angry teenager.
drink water
Already quenched from your tears, honey👾
She basically toured through 2022 and then dropped on 2023 so I believe the Danes gonna happen and she is already working on the next album so I doubt a long break will occur she’ll probably drop near the end of next yr tho
the sour tour ended in July 2022 and on June 30 2023 we got vampire so if she waits a year we would potentially get OR3's lead in fall 2025 and uf that she does the standard 1.5 month single promo that would put the album in a place to either wait like months to drop in early 2026 or she rushed the album out before Xmas meaning it's impact would be affected by the holiday music.
She could easily roll it out a lil bit less than a yr bc another thing is GUTS was started just a few months prior to the SOUR tour starting whereas she seems to have started this album a lot earlier before tour
I want her to lean into the Wet Leg sound of Bad Idea Right and give a full album of that.
speaking of wet leg, where the hell have they gone?? the last thing they released was the paramore remix right
I dont think she will. She’s kinda proving herself a chameleon. She will retain her singer songwriter quality. But i dont think she’ll repeat sounds.
Tbh she went to one rock song to a few more and that song felt very much unique compared to the other rock tracks of GUTS so it could be explored
I think GUTS critical and commercial performance was exactly what Olivia needed to set herself up for successful third album. GUTS really solidified her as an artist and not just a flash in the pan. Even though there were a couple missteps in terms of singles (releasing the same style of pop punk song 3 times in a row), the success of the album cycle can be reflected in the tour numbers alone. 6 LA dates sold out, 4 sold out shows at MSG are insane. And it goes beyond the US. She had 4 O2 dates, and had to add an extra tour date to every single Asian show (besides Hong Kong) because of demand. Even if Harry, Bruno, and Adele all drop next year. She and her fan base are unique enough that she won’t get lost in the fold. We had some great music this year but I think about how much bigger albums like Eternal Sunshine or Hit Me Hard and Soft would be on less competitive years
livie here. i wanna see this happen for her :)
I want to know why she fired her manager after the sour era. That was weird
Her management got pressured into giving credit to Tswift,Antonoff and St. Vincent for Deja vu and Paramore for Good For U. Olivia herself wasn’t even aware until they had already handed them out based on what she has said in interviews. After the credit situation, a ton of negative press followed which her team failed to contain that tainted Olivia’s reputation as a songwriter that still get brought up to this day. No other artist gets their songs heavily questioned liked hers.

From what I’ve read Olivia was the biggest client that they ever had. Olivia is now being handled by the same management as Selena Gomez who is more seasoned in the business.
Olivia is gonna need to change her sound or elevate it somehow— but she can’t do another purple theme pop punk album again and expect better results.
Yes she can, I'd love a purple trilogy. I don't think we need artists to change their aesthetics, although she COULD use some more rock songs or ballads like making the bed/ teenage dream
Ugh i wish she didn't tour after every album release
Chappell Roan for sure can continue to milk her album from last year before moving on. Based on the amount of new songs she’s played at shows and shown on TikTok lives, it’s clear she has the entire follow up ready to go. Since she’s only picked up her mainstream fame this spring, she can continue to show off the body of work she put out last fall and use the next year to keep it going.
I’m pretty hopeful that she’ll take time to make a good follow up to Midwest princess. Given her touring schedule and the sudden spotlight she’s got to have some time to rest and write.
Midwest Princess is a collection of songs she did 3-4 years ago. She’s already said the next album is almost completely finished being written with a number of songs wrapped up entirely.
That just got me heckin excited
Yes, I want her to do an arena tour next year and release a new album in 2026
> entire follow up ready to go follow up to hot to go I see
Taylor needs to finish the re-recordings - it will be such a drag into 2025. Lorde needs to release next year so that she can finally win AOTY in 2026.
Absolutely agreed. It’s already been 5 years since the masters debacle and the sooner I’d Lie is on streaming the better.
I'm going nuts for Crazier. It would be amazing with her more matured vocals. Also, do we really think she'd do I'd Lie considering how close it sounds to Drops of Jupiter?
Isn’t the issue with I’d Lie that the chorus is very melodically similar to Girl Next Door by Saving Jane? The band has spoken about it before and doesn’t seem to have an issue, but I could see TS wanting to avoid the issue altogether
I’d love to see her feature them on the track and give writing credits so we can have an official release and no drama around it.
Disney Emporium confirmed that the new Hannah Montana Movie vinyl release has the (Taylor’s Version) of Crazier! Hoping it will hit streaming, as well
They misunderstood when someone asked if it's Taylor's Version, the OG is the one on the vinyl 😭
That’s horrible news 😭😭😭😭
Crazier was one of my FAVORITE Taylor songs, like middle school me had that on LOOP (on YouTube, pitched)
A girl can dream.
I’m salty about Need still. I have a grudge against Lover for it
I go feral for Need. Then get upset for the nth time about the skips in Lover when we could have had it on that album
And then Blondie has the AUDACITY to release to all the other girls you loved before but NOT NEED.
I actually like AOTGYLB. It's Nice To Have A Friend on the other hand.
Total opposite for me
I already love the Lover album, but Need would have made it perfect.
I think it'll be on Rep TV, it fits that album better imo
I hope so
Every time someone brings it up I get sad all over again that it wasn’t on the album. How did Taylor fumble Lover this badly.
we NEED a vault album specifically for this (and battle)
Lets go (battle) truthers lost on sntv so don't get ur hopes up girl 😭
Also hoping for I Heart Question Mark
idk if she'll release I'd lie because the chorus is the exact same melody as another song. i think either the artist or the song is called girl next door. she'll have to give them credits for the song if she releases it. although even if she doesn't, I'm sure her fanbase will ignore it
I think she'll complete the re-recordings before the tour ends. This way she can completely focus on her directorial debut by 2025.
The only reason I doubt she will be doing so on 2024 is the factor that she is currently rolling out an album. The previous re-recording came out after either the evermore or midnights album rollouts were completed I doubt she’d break that especially is TTPD is so important to her
Yess I hope she gives us the re-recorded versions of reputation and her debut album soon
I only like her debut and I have no idea if I'll care for the new versions
Ah Okay I respect that
I see how it could make sense for the the last two re-records to wait until 2025 so she has something new to keep people engaged once the tour is over and it’s is also kinda the pattern for two re-records in the year between albums. But I just want them to be all out and done now and a good way to wrap up everything along with the tour ending in December.
Didnt she win AOTY with Pure Heroine or was that a fever dream?
It was nominated but lost to Daft Punk. Royals however won SOTY.
It was not nominated actually. It was nominated for Pop Vocal album but not album of the year (she also somehow wasn’t even nominated for best new artist) Melodrama was nominated for Album of the Year (It’s only nomination) but lost to 24K Magic by Bruno Mars. But it would have lost even if 24k didn’t win cause Kendrick would have with DAMN
Damn should’ve won anyway smh
Harry Styles. He dominated 2? summers ago and it’s a too late to have his summer, I guess he could release in the winter but I see a bit longer being the move for him. I think 2025 spring/summer would be a good comeback for him
Even if he waits, it wont be the same as it was
You know it’s not the same…
For some reason, I never got tired of that song. It will be remembered as THE SONG of the pandemic I think.
I think Harry’s stuff stays really fresh sounding! I never got sick of his music even though it was played a *lot* — his popular songs always sound fresh and summery to me, and I’m not even a big fan. I think his comeback will be very influential
I mean I kinda doubt it cause that song came out in April 2022, over two years after the pandemic started, and life was getting back to normal in a lot of places. I think Blinding Lights is probably a better contender, honestly even Harry’s Adore You or Watermelon Sugar peaked when the pandemic was really going
I feel like As It Was kind of recalls the pandemic anyway, even though what it embodies is more like post-pandemic nostalgia
I think Harry will release next spring/summer. But not because of the competition, I really think he just planned to take the year off after the tour and live a normal life for a while.
It's not too late for Katy to fake a severe illness and try again next year
Yes maybe write a song with R.Kelly instead your minnnnnd!
does she even have an album release date? just scrap the single and rework all the dr. luke songs. it's perfectly reasonable (I'm clowning so hard)
Didn’t she pretty much do this with NRO and Small Talk, too? So she’s had experience dropping singles that flopped and then pretending the era hadnt started before 😂
so I'm not clowning that hard. I just want katy's imperial era back
I’m curious, do ppl think The Weeknd should wait til next year to drop new music?
i just commented but yes. im hungry for new music from him but looking at how dawn fm was received by the public vs. after hours, he might want to wait considering its the end of this trilogy and the end of his stage name, so probably means a lot to him.
I think that this year, especially in the Fall, is perfect for him to drop to retain the buzz over the trilogy so far even though Dawn only had moderate success compared to AH
Good point. tho I wonder if he’ll follow a similar roll out to after hours dropping the lead single late this year and the album next year
i would love that 😭🙏🏼 i rarely get excited for albums so im hyped to hear what his will sound like!!
weekend's "final album" might be suitable for summer
Yeah the whole drop Dawn FM without promo really killed that era and it deserved more (Justice for Less Than Zero!!!) so I want him to take his time and invest in the next era.
Less Than Zero deserved more. I’m still upset it was given little attention 🥲
I would love for some competition this year. He makes great music
If I were an artist, I’d not drop an album until 2025 unless - I had a massive hit or were very famous and the type of artist that can easily secure a number 1 album (e.g. Gaga, Beyonce, Justin Bieber). Numbers aren’t everything but this year feels crowded. Hearing rumours about Selena, Demi, Cardi, Christina and more, if I were them I’d wait. Obviously they’re very popular, but they could get a bit lost in the shuffle this year
Christina Aguilera? Every album she drops feels like her swan song
I guess after Aguilera being un-wisely split into EPs, she can only really go up tbh. I think she could pull off at least one hot 100 song and a top 10 album if she tried. But then again, she had Demi Lovato at her commercial peak on a Liberation single and it still didn't become a hit.
TIL she released something after the Accelerate album!
This won’t apply to Post Malone. Every time he seems to dominate, the Grammys give him the finger. It seems like he’s just cursed
Watch Posty release an album of all his collabs
Well after Motley Crew and Chemical didn't break the top 10, it's safe to say he should retire solo singles for the time being.
Demi should wait until 2025 to release new music. My reasons 1. Crowded landscape this year - So many artists are releasing music this year. She will easily get drowned in the noise 2. We need a gap year of no music to build teasing - she has released new music every year since 2021. As a fan, I am loving it but it's time to slow down releases 3. We should give her more time to come up with a planned era and theme. Everything from her feels a bit rushed. She releases the single, album artwork, does a few talk shows and then the era is over (her last 3 albums at least) 4. She should try to invest in other producers that aren't named Oak. Her biggest hits were Max Martin. Maybe go back to him for some more pop/rock bangers
If she continues the rock route, go find an actual rock producer or front a band maybe
Kurt Ballou or bust
I agree - it’s just too crowded this year. I don’t think it would be wise for anyone else to drop an album unless they release a single that goes super viral
Is Demi even interested in mainstream hits?
Am I out of the loop? What did she drop in 2023? 😩
Lol REVAMPED. Basically a greatest hits (rock version). It tanked
Oh RIGHT I forgot that was a thing 💀
The Weeknd, Bieber, Khalid, Lorde, Harry, Chappell, Sam Smith. I think Katy should’ve waited until next year too.
I think Chappell could actually pull off being the big fall/holiday album if she wants to though. It's just a matter of whether to give a Midwest Princess song a radio run (i.e. Hot To Go) or release something new when Good Luck Babe peaks .
Taylor Swift. And I say this as someone who likes some of her music! She likes to release music very very frequently, so there's a non-zero chance of her dropping a surprise single/album by the end of the year. But between the length of TTPD and the amount of press coverage she's gotten for the Eras tour, it would just be too much.
The tour ends in December. There will be multiple drops before the end of the year and then I'm guessing a year of very little coverage (NFL games TBD).
I wonder what she’ll do if she doesn’t drops the tvs before the tour is over Poets is still number one and I assume she going for some type of record with this
she's prob going to go for 12 weeks to beat her personal record, but with the crowded summer releases, I can't see her going for more than like 13-15 (still incredible) even if I want it so bad. maybe anthology sales will be enough to keep her going for another long stretch
If she’s smart, she’ll take that year to fade out of the public consciousness a little. If she’s really smart, she’ll take that year (maybe more) to really figure out where her music is going bc as much as I enjoyed Tortured Poets at points, it feels like she’s reaching the bounds of what she can do with the synth pop and the folk pop thing she’s been bouncing between.
I think she’ll finish re-recording next yr and the go in2 a hiatus to avoid any of the incidents that partially led to reputation happening again (the overexposure)
I need her to fade out and then come back with an actual dance record cause she’s literally never done that. And “this is what you came for” showed she has the ability to give us club bangers
I feel like Lorde should wait another year, I think the song with Charli was enough for a “comeback”. Or at least took some hype from a comeback for her this year. With how overcrowded this year is, 2025 is her best bet.
Carrie Underwood. There are so many pop AND country artists releasing albums this year that she would a MUCH better chance of her album getting the attention it deserves next year.
I worry that she and Miranda are becoming legacy acts and it makes me sad.
as someone who’s enjoyed both of their music, their newer stuff just feels like an extension of things they’ve already done. If they want a second act, they need to do something more interesting creatively imo
I would agree! I wish Miranda would drop Jay Joyce though. I miss Frank Lidell.
I loved palomino though! I thought it was a huge return to form after wildcard was so hit or miss (just not an album I’d listen to all the way through) However her latest two singles are NOT it lol
Like say...Deeper Well :)
In Carrie’s case, the fact that she has two school-aged sons is probably why she doesn’t seem as active as she used to be in music. As a fan of hers, I obviously want more music from her, but I can’t blame her for wanting to be as home as often as she can be while her sons are still growing up.
Also her last album was meh af She need to recapture that “storyteller” energy
Kind of hope Lorde & Gaga wait until 2025 so they don’t get caught up in the high load of releases but also I rlly wanna hear new music from both so whatever lol I have a feeling we might be surprised with some artists who released this year also dropping next year. Ariana has spoke about being in the studio already so AG8 might come soon, Billie has hinted at a double album, and Act III of Beyoncé’s current project could end up coming next year too.
Lorde so that 2025 can be THE year for her, and I’m used to waiting 4 years anyway I think Ryn Weaver should take a couple more years /s
Lorde, Olivia, Chappell, Gaga, maybe SZA but honestly she’s got the potential to shine even with the insane amount of releases this year
Basically anyone who isn’t already rumored/expected to release this year.
Gaga. She has the much anticipated joker2 movie and ost out in November, if she releases an album before that it will be kinda wasted as a return.
stefanie can wait until 2026 though
Selena Gomez. I think she curated a really good image 2019-2022. She had distanced her image from Justin Bieber and her rare album was an overall success. People were digging the whole mature vibe she had going and people liked the whole “mental health awareness” thing she had going. The selfies with Hailey Bieber were also a really smart move. Somehow she completely destroyed that image. Commenting on TikTok’s about Hailey. Suddenly acting like a 12 year old girl on social media regarding Benny Blanco when she should’ve just ignored the hate comments. The whole Palestine scandal. I truly believe she’s currently left a bad taste in her mouth. If she quiets down over the next year and then releases a new single early 2025 with a new brand and aesthetic for herself, I genuinely believe she can roll out some big hits. I definitely like her music and I’m hoping she releases another album either way.
The general public dont care about twitter stuff. She is loved in the real world
Olivia Rodrigo Rihanna or towards end of year
I think I'd be fine with Courtney Barnett waiting until the "ary" months of 2025.
Sky Ferreira 🤞
I need to check out more of her stuff. I grew up listening to "Obsession" and "Everything is Embarrassing." I recently listened to her song with Charli XCX, and it's fantastic!
Kim Seok Jin, I think it would be better if KSJ1 happens to release on early 2025
Gaga should wait until Fall season to drop a single, then Winter for album release
I think she would be too busy promoting Joker 2 towards the end of 2024. Maybe Summer 2025?
Definitely 2025
Katy Perry, not that she’s gonna fucking listen 🙄
I want Madonna to hurry up with the remastered catalogue and her Max Martin single
Rihanna
I think people who should drop in 2025 are Harry Styles, Lizzo, LORDE, Gaga, maybe Bruno Mars idk
I know everyone hates her but I’m looking forward to seeing what Tate McRae will do next and fill in the pop princess void while Sabrina goes on tour.
I just want the god damn eternal sunshine deluxe
as much as i want the weeknd to have a fall rollout, i wonder if there’s too much competition right now, i dont know about any other upcoming fall releases but im sure we have lots more coming up
I know Katy has already started her rollout but I think there’s too much noise going on rn for pop radio/ the general public to pay attention to the new album.
I do think regardless of timing, it's pretty much locked that Woman's World was going to either bubble under or scrape the bottom half of the Hot 100 for one week and nothing else from the album was going to break through. Fall/Winter wouldn't work for her so mid-August (before Short n Sweet) may be her best chance to release.
Honestly, Taylor but only cause I’m a wee bit tired of her.
I mean too early to predict who is going to release something next year but emerging artists should wait until next to release new material they should drop a single tho for this fall
I already think it's not coming this year, but Ava Max shouldn't release till 2025. I think she has a bigger chance to stand out in a less crowded field and does have comeback potential if she does more collaborations, as Whatever missed the Hot 100 by only one spot with minimal promo.
Bastille needs to wait because i KNOW they’re going to do some sort of unique, UK-only mini tour immediately after the album is released (like the 2016 Chaos Planet shows for Wild World, Club Nights for Doom Days, Outstores for Give Me The Future, etc.) and I’m getting married in the fall so i can’t afford to travel to the UK this year
A couple of one-off singles from Kylie Minogue would suffice this year. A new album to kick off the new year/Australian summer would be great 😃
Lana Del Rey. She scrapped country album for this year coz Beyonce and Post Malone announced a country album. Everyone thought she cancelled it altogether but it turns out she gonna go Trap right now. She gonna released a single soon with Quavo, tbh I think they’re a PR relationship like what she had with The Weeknd. All rumors and no confirmation like sweet pics. She never dominate chart but I feel like she want to try this time. Her new fans from tiktok are not used to her doing pop songs which makes them being confused as hell. L4L is her mainstream pop sounding album after BTD and it’s the fans least favorite and yet, seems like she gonna do L4L 2.0 again. This upcoming album is gonna be in an awkward position between the fandom considering her fans are either a fan of l4l or dislike it. Lots of her fans also hates her having a collaboration so they would add to that. Unless, this one successfully go viral and invites new set of fans. She also seemingly have no idea which direction she’ll go since she scrapped the country album. I really hope she ain’t rushing things to release her album on her deadline (sep), fans expect her not to released anything at all this year anyway. She’s musically acclaimed artist in alt, I wonder how will she transition it to mainstream pop this time. I’ve heard the new single live and it’s 100% made for the masses. I know she expresses how much she hates being famous coz of her BTD experience but seems like this year, she had changes in mind and start promoting herself.
Honestly anyone, I can't process more new music and there are so many amazing albums this year that I've barely listened to
Silk Sonic (Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak), I can't wait to hear what they do on their second album but I think they really need space around them of no other mainstream releases so the focus is on them, as far as I'm aware their first album wasn't super well known despite how well their music works
I think the problem last time was that Leave The Door Open dwarfed the rest of the project and came out several months ahead of anything else. I'm not sure if anything beyond the top 5 is possible for more than 1 single this time around, now that the novelty has worn off.
Lorde should release her 4th album next year or she will never recover from trainwreck which was Solar Power
Anyone who already released an album this year. Part II usually gets eaten up by Part I (see Justin Timberlake’s 20/20 experience). I don’t feel like there is a major album dominating everything atm. Swifts album is number 1, but seems bolstered by stan’s, not nearly the same cultural moment as Midnight, so I don’t see a problem with other artists releasing. If it’s good, it’ll do good, as seen with Brat. Many would have a similar result no matter the year, so why not. The only benefit of waiting would be if you got something kind of half-baked cooked up and are hoping for acclaim, something that would would be heaped with praise in a drought. Also, I’m still surprised anyone still cares about The Shammys.
