Sabrina Carpenter - Short n' Sweet (August 23, 2024) Album • Page 13

I missed the Olivia discussion. I also initially thought guts was a lil too ballad heavy but after listening to the album approximately 1000 times, I love them all. Her lyrics are so relatable and I don't think what she has to say in the ballads is stale. They range from breakup to maybe being disenchanted Taylor Swift lol to the pressure of being a young ingenue and also beauty standards

 

Same! I usually can't stand this type of videos, more often feeling very half-assed or surface level. You can tell he's a Glassjaw fan because he gets all their intricacies down to a T

 

Oh boy, here we go

 

I hope no one copies her and starts a trend

 

She’s already on a pre-existing trend with this haha

 

That was the joke. Lol

 

We're doing this already? Who's she battling for number 1?

 

Travis Scott reissued a ten year old mixtape with some new songs and put it on streaming for the first time
for real not joking

 

Lol the charts are so fucked right now.

 

I hate that thanks to Taylor Swift our instinct is to think this, and also hate that it's a correct instinct

 

I feel like the Taylor Swift chart antics of 2024 are going to have a long tail in terms of how artists and labels maneuver for chart placements. And it's going to be annoying!

 

She should do a deluxe edition called, like, Longer n Still Sweet or whatever.

 

ugh this shit sucks so bad lol

 

(Not So) Short n' Sweet

 

Long n Sour and she covers Deja Vu

 

Sweet & Sour collab album when.

 

One more version of this dumb joke, sorry y’all.

 

Taylor absolutely took these tactics to the extreme, but this kind of chart manipulation has never been unique to her

 

The real issue is that we've become so chart obsessed. It's actually ok if Sabrina's album is #2 it does not mean she's a flop. It's so weird to me that she could be #2 with 300k+ units, but someone could be #1 with like 110k and people will act like the person who went #1 was more successful

 

The charts don't actually matter or mean anything if it's all manufactured. If I were any artist doing this kind of schtick, I'd feel a little embarrassed about it tbh.

 

they really worried about losing that #1, huh?

 

I love when artists thank me for buying their album by making me buy their album again.

 

I've decided to not participate in these shenanigans at all. So stupid. No money out of my pocket outside of an initial vinyl purchase. The only thing that'll get me to drop more is something truly unique, like Glass Animals dropping a second version with full instrumentals AND stems to remix yourself. That was dope. Beyond that, I'll just wait for bonus tracks to hit streaming.
