shes spoken about a deluxe edition/re-release for every album and its never happened so i woudn't get too excited

just tfj & froot

with tfj they were just already getting ready and planning the electra era so it didn’t really make sense to release one

and with froot.. well.. the only track she knew we wanted was inha (she never ever mentioned saviour, so, idk maybe she didn’t really like it) 

 

with this one she knows we want at *least* two tracks and it seems like she’s written more so

no, she mentioned re-releasing TFJ in part 2 of this video (its gone from the internet unfortunately):

 

she also talked about EH having a re-release very briefly, i think it was around the time of HTBAHB or the title song

[vrtvie 2,264]

Well she did aim to release Heartcore if I remember correctly. She's more certain of this re-release now though, especially after giving a description of Happy Loner full version, so maybe it's a different situation. And I think her new manager David is more encouraging too. Plus, she needs to boost the charts; it would be wisest to release it along with the vinyls.

if she doesn't do that for a fan-favourite, her magnum opus, electra heart era full of unreleased and localised tracks she is either stupid or ignorant af

I have counted scrobbles for most popular songs of Marina's discography on last.fm. I've joined data from both Marina and MATD pages, same with Hollywood single and album versions and other incorrectly spelled scrobbles. Maybe someone is interested to see the results. Not everyone has last.fm and uses it on a daily basis but I think it is a nice indicator of how popular each song is, especially because it includes all platforms and times before Spotify was even a thing.

Surprising Bubblegum Bitch done much better than Heartbreaker. Surely TikTok has helped recently but on her old page (MATD) they both had 2,6M.

Also weird to see Hollywood this low. Not only was it her second best-charting track but also apparently made some noise on TikTok too. Not so much it seems.

Love + Fear flop.

seventeen is actually available on the US standard version of TFJ, unlike rootless. it is strange how savages is so popular though. i've actually seen it on her personal spotify top 5 in mid-2015 and maybe that's why she was thinking of making a MV to it

Watch it becoming a power ballad to balance the second half of the album  

[Lightning Bolts 967]

The way it has now been more than thirteen years since Marina supposedly uploaded a Family Jewels outtake called "Not That Ugly" onto Myspace. Put it on the Capitalist Dreams in a Capitalist Land reissue Marina The Millionairess! It ain't going to leak at this rate otherwise!

[Party Favor 10,308]

That has to be a real instrumental, it sounds so clean 

[medievalthots 2,638]

aha music also recognized the instrumental as the song 

[ConstableReggie 509]

Why would someone leak the instrumental before the full song smh

 

(although tbh I hope the ? keep it to themselves and let Marina release it herself on the deluxe)
