I'm not sure if it's realistic tbh. I mean she had only one #1 song and overall 5 top 10 hits until now. And Girlfriend definitely isn't her best song ever. The others were Complicated, IWY, MHE and Sk8er Boi, so almost all from LG, just one from UMS and TBDT. I believe she can do great songs again but it's more than 10 years since her last top 10 and the mainstream has changed a lot, there are many new artists... It'll be so difficult. It's cruel but she won't be relevant to current teenagers. There aren't many artists who stay really popular (I mean in the mainstream, they still can have a lot of fans) for a long time. WTH almost hit the top 10 but was released in a wrong way IMO. Live performance without download available, for free some days, etc. I think it would have topped the chart at number 8 IMO with a different release. I agree not many artist remain popular, Rihanna is the only one who I remember. But It has happened, There are people that has hit the #1 after years. I don't think it's impossible but she needs something very fresh and a really good sound, and that's why I think she still working because maybe she thinks her work isn't perfect I hope you're right and it is possible but I'm afraid mainstream music is mostly about "brands" and unfortunately Avril isn't trendy anymore... It'd be sad if she would create a really great song but it wouldn't be enough because of lack of attention. However, I see it by so many of my favorite artists who used to be really popular but don't get the recognition they deserve anymore.

If sheโs to release a ballad as the lead single, it needs to be a power ballad with a big chorus like IWY or WYG or KHO. Not the boring stuff on GL or the lackluster Fly. It should sound modern, as someone mentioned Adele or Sam Smith. The production on GL with just drums and guitar really fell flat and sounded horribly outdated IMO.
Sheโs been in the industry for 15 years and has only ever had one #1 single, which didnโt come until her third album. Her last lead singles have peaked outside the top 10, her last most successful hit was HTNGU peaking at #20. I donโt think it matters what kind of song it is or how good it is and usually ballads donโt perform as well as uptempo songs on radio. TBDT lost serious momentum when WYG was released as the follow up to GF.
I donโt think Taylorโs Look What You Made Me Do was her best single ever yet it shot to #1 easily because sheโs Taylor and everyone was excited about her new music.
Avril canโt and wonโt succeed unless she gets a lot of support from BMG and radio. Having a new and fresh sounding song will help a lot instead of recycling the same tired formula, but itโs not gonna matter one bit if BMG doesnโt promote it. And radio has to want to play it. They should try marketing her to adult contemporary with a mature single and leave the teen pop behind. Teens barely know who the hell she even is, let alone do they care about her music.

An up-tempo song with strong/mature lyrics could also work for her. But please no mention that she's a motherf*****g princess again, we got that in GF and RnR. Something really strong and meaningful. I also want from her to visit some different topics, like Camila's new song "Real Friends", talking about her disappointment about the people surrounding her, or sing about suicide, bullying, depression like P!nk's "F*****g Perfect or Evanescence's latest single "Imperfection". Hit some sensitive nerves on people, make them fall in love with her again. Something different than the "Hell yeah i'm 33 and living my life like an 18-year-old kid" type of songs

I want the same. Also i dont think she will get #1 again. I am finr with top 10, top 5 will be a dream. She needs an interesting video because streaming plays a huge part of the charts nowdays

She could even do something like Carrieโs new song โI Am A Championโ (minus the rapping). Itโs very anthemic and motivational (though I do think the lyrics are kind of cheesy and cliche). Thatโs kind of what Iโm picturing Warrior to sound like, like a Roar or Champion or Fight Song type upbeat pop anthem but with meaning. Iโd much prefer that over a ballad as the lead.
If the single can get into the top 20, Iโm happy with that. I want her to have enough success that sheโll get some attention and critical acclaim and she can tour without being an opening act for someone, but beyond that I just want the new music and I hope itโs worth waiting for. It needs to be strong and not half-assed like her last 2 albums. Iโm fearful that the longer she works at it, the worse itโll actually be. I didnโt think GL or AL gained anything from being reworked. This album has to be worth waiting for literally years for. No more mediocrity. I just want good music, like LG/UMS/TBDT level quality and the songs to have real meaning and deeper than anything sheโs ever done before.

A lot of countries in South America and Asia have gotten Spotify since the self-titled era, so this time around her total streaming numbers should be decent enough.
