COOOK 76,406 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Title. The lead single "vampire" debuted at no.1 on the BB Hot 100 and stayed there for 1 week but it's still holding up inside the Top 10, while the second single "bad idea right?" debuted at no.10 to mixed opinions like how similar it sounds to tracks from SOUR. She also faced similar criticism when she released the album cover of GUTS: GUTS and its singles don't seem to generate the buzz or hype outside of her fanbase that was probably predicted (as the major conversation around it is disappointment at how close it is to her previous work) so it it headed for the dreaded "sophomore slump"? At least by her standards anyway, given the massive success of SOUR. Thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auther 22,105 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 I think critics on pop forums will call it a sophomore slump when compared to the success Sour had - I do not think that she will meet or top that with GUTS, but I do think it will be massively successful and mostly acclaimed by critics and supported by the GP.

InTheCloset 17,754 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 i didnt even like the freshman one. Never even bothered to hear it in full after the singles. Where's the spunk, Adam? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMROD 104,154 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 I think the first week sales will be high. But I don't know what comes after that week. The album could have gems that people will enjoy hearing more than two singles.

AnglerfishbraBENUS 5,539 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 it’s really perplexing how similar everything just feels compared to her last record. it almost feels like it is the same album Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 94,535 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 I always believed she would become the new Carly Rae Jepsen If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Fudge 8,587 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 I think I’m the only one who loves that GUTS sounds just like SOUR. SOUR had the bops and Miss Rodrigo is feeding my gay heart at the moment Been a cuff touple, a puff bupple, a tough couple of years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really shows how much the charts do not matter, cuz Bad Idea Right is the song that everyone was talking about, and Vampire felt like a flop Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Controversiaga 9,268 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 I’m not into her music it is interesting that the era just seems to be an extension of the previous Pronounced like “Balenciaga” . Emphasis on the “Ga” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstertoronto 8,748 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Given her first single debuted at number one and is still top ten and her second single debuted top ten, she already has defeated the sophomore slump. Most pop girls these days struggle to climb to a top ten and she got two right away including a number one. The GP was so ready for her. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
