hot take: all the exchange songs will disappoint when we actually hear them in HQ except "Hey Boy, Hey Girl."

Yeah Afterparty was a GREAT song. I’ve heard it at NYC Taco Bell and McDonald’s and it makes me so happy. She performed it here Saturday & I could’ve cried with joy.

y’all, there have been many sources for Charli songs from a lot of different time periods. Not every person has every song & there are some songs that it’s probable no one has. idrk if Eclipse is involved, but between: •MusicMafia •Dennis •Discord leaker(s) •a few different Genius users •that guy who got No Angel from Hari, and •old publishing links, it’s kinda futile to speculate where shit’s coming from unless you actually know. Most leaks don’t have an easy trajectory. Like Theme Park, lol...where the fuck did that come from.

Most are unknown I think, someone might have put the info for HoH on Genius. Pirates is 2008, i think, maybe earlier—it’s REALLLLY old.

1. it’s already completed (at least almost definitely), so the production, etc. is a sunk cost 2. depending on the feature / production, Atlantic might think of it as a viable hit. A decade ago Britney re-released Radar from Circus as a single, even though it was on Blackout. so it’s been done before, and Track 10 obviously got great reception from fans, so why not capitalize on it by releasing the accessible version?

this is like the xcxboards thread D:

Seven Day Holiday is a Sucker outtake. Might have been pitched afterwards, but it was considered for Sucker.

no i gotcha hahaha. i bought them as soon as they came out.

Wait... “But under the new rules it has been decided that 1500 on-demand streams is the same as ten download track sales, which is clearly the same as one album sale.”

where has it been registered??? & it's usually played in A. G. Cook sets, not actual Charli performances. It'll show up in the afterparty, but never the setlist.

no he means that PC Music doesn't have enough releases out since the last compilation to constitute a new release.

MØ stop touring challenge!

i forgot about that, hahahahah. i guess it wasn't NYC (The Way Out), the clip sounded like none of those things. no that's interesting...hmmm. i'm pretty sure the total list of the draft was (in unknown order) Bounce Queen Lizzy Waterfall I Wanna Be With U The One I Die For Can You Hear Me Boys (writer's demo) Girls Night Out Down Like Whoa Good Girls I don't think that it leaked because people were trading it. i'm pretty sure these songs were together somewhere & were found / shared...i don't know why NO ANGEL NEW WORK 3 wasn't a part of it, but i don't think it was.

OG XCX3 could mean anything, there were probably 5+ drafts and 40+ songs considered for it. Theme Park even was at some point. what do u mean? are u referencing something specific? the draft that leaked didn't have No Angel...I'm pretty sure the songs we got were all together. CTMP is from early 2015 iirc, and it wasn't a part of the draft that leaked last year. what collab? man did i miss something?

it’s more complicated than just money, that was what i was trying to say. that’s wrong, Charli could’ve put out the sophie songs if she really wanted.

it's also first come first served, and she goes on at 3pm.

NYC2MIA is Basside lmao.

honestly disagree!! Haha. It’s definitely not gone but SOPHIE started to get press in 2013 and that’s when, in my opinion at least, she really was leaving the station. Madonna & LIZ & Le1f - who all had SOPHIE stuff out in 2015 - really were the first on the train. I guess Charli would fit in there too. It’s just been a slow burn. It’s also been weird because such a small fraction of her collabs get released. She’s pitched stuff to big pop acts before & had it never get released (Kyary Kyary Pamyu, will.i.am, Rihanna, Big Freedia); she’s done stuff with smaller acts (Basside, Tyni, James Wolf, etc.) and they’ve never come out either. I have a feeling she pitches stuff all the time, especially if she’s working with Starrah and Bibi Bourelly, both of which are pretty well-known songwriters. To boot, she’s also cancelled TWO DIFFERENT Adult Swim singles. but she let Quay Dash release two songs last year, who has no money and never even got money from the songs. She also shows up the weirdest places, like the Lunice song with Le1f...it doesn’t make ANY sense! She also said early this year in an interview that she couldn’t talk about some “high profile” collaborations, and I’ve been thinking it might be Nicki (very slim chance), but could also be Gaga. Which also could mean they worked on stuff awhile ago and not recently. As of right now, in all honesty, i think the Gaika collab might be the only SOPHIE we get for the rest of the year. I hope she pulls through with that remix album but it seems so unlikely, knowing her.

i def think noonie’s on backing vocals though!

also I for one would love BIOYL released, it’s one of my faves & i’d be happy if we got that & two remixes. i honestly can’t believe A. G. & her said stargate kinda forgot it. i think it’s one of the best leaks from last year besides the album draft.

yeah but that version didn’t even make it to the leaked draft!! just like the tyni version hahaha. pretty sure the leaked version was really close to the one she’ll end up releasing one day, @@diplo might know more but it seems like that version is the one they were gonna put out.

i’ll fix it. agh.

this is so weird to me! i mean glad people like it but it just sounds like umru remixed a demo Bibi made for Rihanna. (moneymoneymoneymoneymoney MY GOD clang clang CLAAAANG)

Yeah! Gives me hope. Maybe even the SOPHIE song (the first one) will make it, especially if she performed it live with her, gibberish intact.
