These are the main pop girls songs but only remixes! if you listen try to listen on shuffle it’s SO fun to hear your favorite songs but different mixes of them. Here’s the playlist!

bella please release the album! maybe even on vinyl?? what would you guys think 😂 people have released unreleased albums years later before lol

lisa scott lee is releasing a 20 year deluxe edition of her album with 7 new tracks! https://retropopmagazine.com/lisa-scott-lee-celebrating-20-years-since-launching-solo-career-with-never-or-now-expanded-reissue/

i just add break into my heart, bad case of u, and call it whatever to the track list of jersey and remove the call it whatever remix so it has all 7 available songs total. so. 1. jersey 2. paperweight 3. one more night 4. boyfriend material 5. break into my heart 6. bad case of u 7. call it whatever theres also a movie song called diamond that is pretty and was apparently a scrapped song from the album but it doesn’t fit the track list to me so i don’t include it

even newer version made: tell me what you think and if it sounds good! https://dbree.org/v/cb1ccd

i made a better quality version of Break Into My Heart, what do you guys think? I tried to use audacity to edit it and make it more clear, a full song, and less bassy.

are you sure there’s nothing we can do with the shazam links? it literally requires an audio to link it too lmao. it’s gotta be somewhere on a digital database. can someone technical try to figure it out? and how does shazam literally have 293 shazam’s for bell thorne’s song daydream I used Shazam to discover Break into My Heart by Bella Thorne. https://www.shazam.com/amp/track/278014873/break-into-my-heart I used Shazam to discover Daydream by Bella Thorne. https://www.shazam.com/amp/track/481136547/daydream

mariah carey, and other artists like jessica simpson, ashlee simpson, hilary duff, vanessa hudgens, and ashley tisdale who are from the early 2000s have never had some of their albums with the japanese deluxe versions uploaded on spotify ever actually. there’s no japan deluxe digital version. but mariah does have a europe addition with miss you and a through the rain remix. try adding the europe version to your deezer playlist. the us version is also identical to the standard international edition but has a different id

so are the united states versions of the albums time of our lives by miley cyrus, v by vanessa hudgens, and autobiography by ashlee simpson. the mariah album doesn’t have an international edition but i think the international versions of those 3 albums have flacs. there’s a lot of inconsistencies between streaming services. like dignity by hilary duff is still only available to play from radio stations on pandora after all these years. i don’t know why must just have been uploaded a long long time ago before they obtained the flac’s and reuploaded those as the base tracks to apple music and other more popular sites

what songs are you guys most upset about not being on streaming in your region? i’m super curious 😊😂

Here is a post about Bridgit Mendler’s unreleased second studio album that has been in progress since 2013 in several different stages. “In October 2013, Hollywood Records, Bridgit's former label, hired composers to help compose the album including Mitch Allan, Dan Book, Alexei Misoul, Augie Ray, Beloryze, TMS, Ina Wroldsen and Steve Mac. In an interview with Clevver News, Bridgit said she had been inspired by Nelly Furtado's first album, "I'm Like a Bird" among others. Bridgit had a lot of songs prepared for the album, including "Dedication", "Echo", "Deeper Shade of Us", "My Way", "Mystified", and others. In an interview with PAPER Magazine, Bridgit revealed that an album track might be called "Rome". On a date I couldn’t find specified Bridgit mentioned the original tracks she started making had been scrapped due to her wanting to change the sound, and she apparently said 'Something was nagging at me to change the way the record sounds'. In April 2015, Bridgit posted a video of her at her computer and mentioned her computer fully crashed taking all of the song lyrics and some recordings she had for the second album and Bridgit had to re-write all of the songs. On July 2, 2015 fans noticed that Bridgit didn’t seem to appear on the Hollywood Records artists page anymore. On November 18, 2016, Bridgit, through the Black Box record label, released her extended play, Nemesis, as a small sample of what the second album would be with the singles "Atlantis" and "Do You Miss Me at All", and the tracks “Library” and “Snap Your Fingers”. The fans praised Bridgit's new style and she later revealed that she was making her second studio album. On the 21st of the same month, Bridgit posted on twitter 2 photos to her computer with lyrics of one or two songs. On November 21, 2016, Bridgit uploaded two photos to twitter with the lyrics of a possible song. Throughout 2017 she released the singles Temperamental Love, Can’t Bring This Down, and Diving. Bridgit Mendler teased a song on April 18, 2021 but never released it. On November 17, 2022 after a long time off of the platform, Bridgit tweeted “hello world, k sit tight for news. As of January 28, 2023 there has been no update on news. It is currently unknown if Bridgit is signed to a record label, Bridgit is concurrently enrolled at Harvard Law School, where she is a 2L, and at MIT. She has been enrolled in college since 2012, and Harvard Law School since January 2019.” these are some possible tracks for her second album, the first 3 songs were released as singles, the rest of the songs are songs revealed by name or songs that leaked online. "Temperamental Love" with Devontée "Can't Bring This Down" with Pell "Diving" "Oxygen" "Salem" "Flowers" "Rome" "Goldmine" "Idiot Moves" "Oh Why" "Dedication" "Echo" "Deeper Shade Of Us" "My Way" "Fly To You" "Hey Man" "Mystified" "Take You Away" "I Can't Do This Anymore" "Never Forget You" "Yoohoo" "Running After You" "Choice" "Coins In The Air" "Falling Stars" "Hallow" "Make It Up" "Pins And Needles" "Timeless" "Twisted" "What I Want" "While You Were Sleeping"

a few years ago emma mentioned she was trying to get her two missing albums on spotify. right now they’re on streaming only in the uk and ireland. so if she’s actually reached out and tried for years and actually still can’t get them on she’s gonna have to hope a contract expires that has the original release areas distribution tied to it. the album free me came out in 2003 so maybe the record label contract expires in 2023 after 20 years. it would probably also include the life in mono album since both are released by universal, even with the free me album being mainly released by 19 recordings.

what should we do to try to get record labels to examine the region lock contracts and see if any of these region locks can be mended and that some albums are actually available to be released online in more areas?

do y’all think if they aired a single commercial with one of the songs from the ep on the disney channel or even mentioned an ep being out, and maybe sending paperweight or jersey to radio anything could have happened to make this ep successful? they dropped her because it flopped and she didn’t give permission to release the full album i feel the same way about zendaya and her album, bottle you up would’ve been an amazing second single with a cool video after replay. and kiss you up from miranda’s ep high maintenance could’ve done really well as a single, it’s a perfect pop ballad. and olivia holt should’ve released in the dark as the first single from her ep with a cool music video with history being the second single, i think it could’ve taken off really well because that edm sound was perfect at the time and it could’ve made history mainstream too, which could’ve led to a full album. what do you guys think? any opinions on how bella’s album could’ve went??

The songs Stepping Stone, Stumble and The One That Got Away all by Natasha Bedingfield are now available on all platforms in the United States! Stream guys!

I usually just use a youtube to mp3 converter on youtube videos but i sometimes learn about songs that aren’t on youtube. like the three bonus tracks from dancing with the devil (gray, i’m sorry and change you) by demi lovato that get taken down anytime they’re uploaded on youtube. and strange by olivia rodrigo, and always on my mind by carly rae jepsen. It feels easy for songs to get lost if they’re not on youtube, or if a big masterpost is missing one song and it seems like a good idea if there isn’t one already for there to be a google drive with collections of all unreleased tracks for some artists? and then a backup that gets posted if the original gets taken down. or is there one already? what do you guys think?

After 14 years, Janet Jackson’s album Discipline is now available in every region! For a few years it’s been her only region-locked album but it’s now available everywhere! 10-15 years seems to be when several old albums can be reevaluated for a new worldwide license, since they don’t need different cd region specific versions anymore or different cds anymore and it can just be prioritized as a relisted digital album. Happy streaming if you’re gonna listen!

Oh god I hope she releases new music. I literally feel like music has been SO dry in the last 5 years for big hits. Of course I can always find new indie playlists on spotify but… I like feeling like new singles are having moments. Besides Beyoncé and Taylor Swift no ones made noise this year, and with the absence of projects from Selena, Miley, Ariana, Katy, Gaga. It allowed Dove Cameron and Sabrina Carpenter to finally sneak out some (kind of) big hits after 7 years each of them being on disney and their previous releases charting at #139. Sofia Carson’s movie songs even got a huge amount of streams! sadly… Olivia Holt received no love, and got dropped from Hollywood Records and her album was shelved. Next was advertised as the lead single from it but it failed pretty bad. It’s still her current top 5 listened to song for this month on spotify but I guess that’s not enough for that record label, which will hopefully declare bankruptcy soon. I just hope Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, and Dua Lipa can maintain some success in their next project. Billie and Dua honestly got lucky with Happier Than Ever, Don’t Start Now and Levitating, the rest of the singles did so bad. Camila Cabello also only maintained one hit in each of her last two albums, and I feel like she won’t be big anytime soon. And people fail to realize that the song Fair by Normani doing so terrible on the charts means her album will probably be similar, she’ll have to make a TRUE SMASH honestly. And Meghan Trainors new song already has 35 million streams just on spotify but it charted at 63? (charts are so weird). Also, I wonder if we’ll see any unknowns blow up so fast like Doja Cat and Megan Thee Stallion did, or did they take up all the rap/hiphop spotlight and it would just feel like any women who come out in that genre singing songs like “Savage” and “Woman” are copies. I don’t know to be honest.

I’ve sent a few twitter dms to record labels recently, especially about region locked areas for albums that make absolutely no sense!! But it has not affected anything. Does anyone have any idea on how I could get these record labels to recheck the album regions, the albums are allowed in? When an album that came out 20 years ago is in every single region except Europe, is there actually a good reason? Maybe back in 2000, but if record labels just went and checked over their contracts could it be completely possible that they can easily allow it in that region by now and the region lock is no longer valid or something? Is there a way I can do anything about this, I’m gonna keep asking record labels over twitter and insta but I want to do something that feels like it will be more likely to get somewhere.
