AL7 Album Speculations Thread

Yeah, pop rock/pop punk is where she is best at imo. Returning to back to the genre that made her really popular could spark an interest on her again not only to the old fans but also getting new fans who liked to listen to MGK for example.

She has been so active on Instagram lately. I'm always looking forward to any new content from her every morning when I wake up XD

Demi's been liking all her posts lately
Modsun and Demi are friends (even rumours of them dating too) So that's probably why they're "closer" now
Avril deserves more followers for sure
I think she took a lot to create an instagram and then she didn't used properly. That's why she never grow much there. Once upon a time she used to be one of the biggest on facebook. She goes viral on twitter quite often as well. She still has a lot of potential. They just need to learn how to use it

This entire era is looking very promising for her. She spent the last decade or so struggling to stand out in the sea of pop acts. Not only were her albums inconsistent in quality, they massively failed to make an impression outside her core fanbase. She became forgettable among the general public as there was nothing there to excite people or catch their interest. There were many other pop artists competing for the spotlight and doing it better than her. The most media attention she got was during the Chad era when all of a sudden all her public appearances seemed to revolve around marrying/being married to Chad, as opposed to herself as a solo artist and what she had to offer artistically at that point -- and let's face it, no one was there for it.

Now it feels like she's found her niche again. She found herself within a group of people with common interests. She found herself in a movement of pop-punk revival trying to bring a rockier sound back to mainstream. And it just feels authentic for her to want to be on the frontline of that movement. She was one of the OGs, her entire legacy in music was built upon being the pop-punk princess -- that's why she stood out and was able to cement herself as an icon. And for her to find herself back in that niche just feels so... right! I'd much rather see her get recognition for that even if it's on a smaller scale than to see her permanently remaining in the shadow of all the newer, more relevant and more interesting pop acts of today.

On top of that, she is for the first time ever taking proper advantage of her social media presence. She's improving engagement with each post, she's getting in touch with professionals to create content regularly, she's being consistent with uploads, she's interacting, inciting her audience to leave comments and express their thoughts. If she keeps this up and delivers a solid album full of bangers I deeply believe she's on her way to make her best comeback since TBDT. I don't expect her to ever be as big and relevant as she was in that time, but I'm at least expecting her to be able to excite people again, to have a vision, to show the attitude and conviction that made her the household name that she is... and that's truly all I ever wanted from her.

Let Go will hit 1 billion streams on spotify sometime this year. It earned more than 200 million just last year. Now it is around 900 million. She's getting better at streaming. Now with a new album, and an upbeat one things can get even better

Throughout the year Avril and Kelly have the same amount of monthly listeners on Spotify but then Kelly starts dominating in November when people start streaming Xmas music.
Pink is generally bigger than both and never had an era that really unlike Kelly's and Avril's last eras.

I hope all of you maintain the notion in how good she looks and how invested she seems into this record, if the record flops again or it doesn't meet your expectation.

I truly hope she puts out a record she loves. She truly looks amazing in the last photos, even though I don't see the UMS vibe except for the black hair.
