Shawn Mendes

Rumour has it that hes delayed his album release because Harry Styles is due to have a new album out soon...
That doesn't make sense. Shawn is not going to be sitting at the top of the charts for more than a week or two, if at all, so releasing closer to Style's date would be worse for his chart rank and sales.

The album is pushed because it's mid and none of his singles went anywhere. He was overshadowed by almost every other pop act at the VMAs, zero buzz from his performance. The label is currently shopping for a hit because this era is giving Justing Timberlake's "Into The Woods" vibes.

This.

TBF, if the record label released his album at the same day as Styles it would be BETTER for them to give excuses: "oh, Shawn didn't get the #1 because people bought Harry's albums"
 
That Alexander guy gets stir with everything lmao he considered himself the knight in silver armor of Shawn I think.
I barely reply here for this said reason, because me calling out delusions y’all have always becomes an uproar even when i’m right. y’all treat the dude like a spectacle and when called out play victim, it’s beyond pathetic and i’ll always give my thoughts as this IS a forum. I enjoy posting him here but certain people make it so nauseating when it’s always bickering over bullshit.

Yeah that album sucks but the tour was awesome. I don't think Shawn can top this. It's always him playing guitar or piano singing about his teenage love.

Musically, Shawn is no longer good enough

He is making a stripped back album, I highly doubt him or the label expect anything chart wise. He performed a slow song at the vmas and he can't add a song last minute as it takes months to change that.. in fact he played the exact same album the other day in nashville

lol you guys talk so much nonsense. His new date has big people like gwen stefani or a bts releasing their albums. They can't "shop for an hit" for an album that has been announced months ago.
 
Shawn and his all male social circle. Not a woman in site.

Except Shawn said this.
“My team and i have decided to push the album release date to November 15th. We just need a little bit more time to bring some new inspiration and ideas to life. I love you guys thank you for being so patient, I can't wait to see you guys at the next few shows.
It's an album, not Ted Talk, the only reason the inspiration they are adding here is a prayer of a hit song or two. Labels do this all the time when in panic mode.

Um, yes they can shop for a hit. You simply add a track or two and throw more money on fresh promotion. Many songs chart with the album release so they can recover but they said, plane as day, that they are adding new inspiration to the album, that means new tracks. Hence the month delay.

You can shop for hits. Loads of hit songs we know bounced around from artist to artists till it was purchased for an album. Writers can have songs out there for days to years. Other times you can hire an artists to come make you a hit as Morgan Wallen and Beyonce have done repeatedly. Chappell Roan used the same producer/writer (Dan Nigro) as Olivia Rodrigo for her two big hits "Good Luck, Babe" and "Hot To Go". Jive Records flew 16 year old Britney out to Europe to work with Max Martin on "Baby One More Time". Yes, you can shop and buy a hit.

Shawn may have songs ready or is looking for fresh songs but I expect we will see some big named producer on the lead single for the album release.

The same with Ava Max and Kim Petras - they released more than two albums of "avulse" songs until they had enough streaming numbers to condense in a single album - using the most popular tracks from Shellback, Luke and Martin

It´s sad because his best album is "Handwritten", and that says a lot about his career
Handwritten is his worst album are you out of your mind his self titled is unarguably his best

not sure if you saw but the album is on pre-order, he played the album live already multiple times and he didn't add any song. It takes 2 months to press new vinyls and CDs. He is not changing that album, he is simply adding more "promos" to it.
