Paramore - After Laughter (May 12th, 2017) Album • Page 94

Ain't it Fun is probably the only one that would crack my top 30.

 

Did people trying to buy tickets through the pre-sale have issues? I had to wait for a little bit but was able to get decent tickets. It sounds like the queue system that was used got flooded with scalpers.

 

Maybe our venue didn't use the same thing others did, but I had no issue I bought mine right at 10 and didn't have to wait in any queue

 

Now this makes sense integrity blues has incredible drum tones and I was listening to this thinking how incredible the drums sound and how it could give integrity blues a run for its money now I know why

 

Yeah, I think a few didn't use it, like the Jacksonville venue used Ticketmaster. I think most got redirected to the venue websites and they were using Queue-It, which it seems is where the issue was. When I was waiting in line, I pulled it up on my phone to see how long it had gotten and it said 900+ people were waiting.

 

Wow that's awful. For the Atlanta date it routed me to the venue website, but I don't remember seeing anything about Queue-It...honestly I wasn't really paying attention I was too busy rushing to make sure I didn't miss out on a good seat.

 

Yea I got tickets to NY show and that was through Ticketmaster and it went fine. I mean it still took me a bit to find tickets because I was buying 2 instead of 1 but I got them. Sucks that other places had to use less stellar means.

 

The latter was from brand new eyes right

 

Wow that Stereogum list was pretty bad, worse than I expected

 

Sorry I quoted you on this before I saw your explanation haha

 

Yeah. Basically just making the point that they're no stranger to slowly working their way to a major hit.

 

"Fake Happy" has emerged as my clear favorite.

 

Turn It Off and Ain't It Fun rule, but the rest of the list either doesn't do much for me or I simply don't remember how those songs go

 

Now is still a great track

 

YOU CAN'T STOP ME:

Never Let This Go
Misery Business
That's What You Get
For a Pessimist...
When it Rains
Brick by Boring Brick
Ain't It Fun
Hate to See Your Heart Break
26
Fake Happy

Already would change it. Haha

 

Oh yeah Turn it Off is ace too.

 

Bad stereogum list is bad

cool it exists tho

 

i'm truly curious if the numbers are weird because of PT cruiser lol

 

What's this PT cruiser thing that went over my head?

 

look at the label in the picture
it's in retailers labeled as pt cruiser

 

I honestly doubt it. I don't think it would stop anyone who went to the store from seeing the album and realizing it was Paramore. The only way I think it would affect anyone is someone calling in to a store to see if they had the new Paramore album and that person not knowing what they were talking about, but I don't see that affecting final numbers too much.

 

i'm talking about in reporting numbers to billboard

 

Ohhh I didn't even think about that. Hmm that's interesting. Still, I'd think Billboard would be aware of that. And don't album sales actually get counted by how many copies the store itself buys, rather than the individual consumer?

And Paramore did it on purpose right?

 

Billboard uses the uvc code or whatever so it doesn't matter what the title is as long as the code is right

 

i love annie, she's a great writer and has great taste, but i can't imagine putting "renegade" of all songs in my paramore top ten
