How braindead is this? Aren't you able to think with your head? 

If only a small amount of these efforts in calling out missteps were given to fight the real racists, homophobes, transphobes... The thing is racism is systemic, nobody's morally superior, we all got the stink on us and this has become a race in moral superiority. And I just don't understand why most of these cancelings are directed towards allies who are clearly in good faith. One thing is to educate someone, Who May have perpetuated a bad behaviour out of sheer ignorance or stupidity and teaching them the errors of their way. The other is canceling people Who are clearly not racist and isolate the community more and more. Look what they did to Lindsay Ellis or EVEN Contrapoints.

Questi americani...:flop:

I could see Baby being played on the radio/streaming/becoming a TikTok. The problem with New Shapes is how it’s off beat and it’s too hard for the locals to casually follow. So I guess my point is, we’re getting the whole album in 2.5 months so I’m hoping for the best commercial success. 

 

no offence but we have been saying this for AGES and she has never received radio play whatsoever

 

the only song that became somewhat of a hit was out out, but that's it, none of her singles are ever going to be hits again so i don't understand why she keeps chasing after a hit...

I’ve heard Good Ones on the radio a few times on Radio One and I don’t listen to the radio much. We don’t really know what all of Baby sounds like so we don’t know how it will perform yet. There will never be a Boom Clap moment again though, I don’t see Charli chasing a hit but some commercial success is good. I want more people to experience her music.

there's only 12 songs on crash with a running time of like 30-sumn minutes, i guarantee she'll do the whole album

 

honestly idk why people were so pissed about this last tour...the album is good af and even the lesser songs are absolute bops live so enjoy?? many artists only play a few songs from new albums and mostly oldies which i hate bc some sleeper songs/non-singles never get played live. i would be thrilled w her doing the whole album plus a mix of deeper cuts/fan favs making up the rest of the show. and honestly when i went to the charli tour she played several songs i didn't care about (boys & 1999, warm) and i have never had more fun shouting along and dancing anyhow– it's a win/win situation when charli is touring imo! :lanahairflip:

being completely honest charli could do an entire set of just i love it, fancy, boom clap & break the rules and it would be fun because of the energy. not saying i WANT that but just that it's gonna be good no matter what we get

What was missing for me was GNO, No Angel and Pop2 tracks. Most people weren’t able to go to a Pop2 show, she had been performing GNO and NA at festivals and had NA merch. I enjoy listening to the live album now and I got to meet Charli, so I do have good memories of the tour.

i feel that (i also love those songs & Pop@)– would be cool if she switched up the non-crash songs at least every other night so we could get a wider variety of tracks (including those, esp GNO).

i think he's talking about like the mainstream top 40 & airplay charts not the main ones but i could be wrong

it’s currently at 35 on billboard’s pop airplay chart - the chart that strictly counts radio play numbers. when a song goes top 40 - this is the chart that refers to since pop radio is like, the most listened to format

 

(i’m assuming you looked at the hot 100?  billboard has a ton of diff charts that count diff things! for example, out out spent 2 weeks at number 1 on the dance airplay chart)

The problem with the Charli setlist was that Charli wasn’t a front to back party album like we kind of expect from a Charli concert so it felt a little odd with her performance ethos to do the entire thing with all the slower/atmospheric moments that don’t necessarily read CLUB PARTY SWEAT DANCE.  Also not acknowledging Pop2 much when she didn’t get the chance to tour it was a misstep IMO. I still had a blast at the show but it was a little disappointing to not hear some of the bangers I’d been waiting for. Maybe Crash will be different and if she does decide to perform it all it will translate a little better. Do think she needs to do some Pop2 tracks and GNO is a MUST. How she left that off of the Charli setlist I’ll never know.

I think she's going to be more sensitive with her SOPHIE collabs now. :'(

Wouldn't be surprised if all we got live was Vroom Vroom tbh. Or maybe she'll be more inclined to play GNO in tribute? Idk only time will tell.
