Brave by Jennifer Lopez (2007) Much like Rebirth, Brave was not a weak album. However, similar to its predecessor, the album's single selections and overall promotion left both the general public and her fans disappointed. I never stood by the last-minute decision to swap "Hold it Don't Drop It" for "Do It Well" as the lead. Plus, Lopez's eventual pregnancy caused all promotion to cease. Additionally, the use of "Miles in These Shoes" for Desperate Housewives really was a missed opportunity to capitalise on it as a single from the project. However, there were steps I could have taken to guarantee the album maintained a strong release and some longevity, and then Lopez could still have taken her break ahead of the Love? project. This is accomplished considering that Como Ama una Mujer had been released in 2006 as it was first intended, allowing most of 2007 for the promotion of Brave, which would have been released in May in this timeline. Singles February 2007: Hold It Don't Drop It May 2007: Stay Together September 2007: Mile in These Shoes January 2008: Brave / Wrong When You're Gone July 2008: Forever October 2008: Gotta Be There

Oh ngl this is the only Xtina album I've ver listened to and I loved it! Well... my tracklist is what I ever listen from this record so yeah lol - thanks for using it! Some serious bops were hiding in this album, but what the fuck was that single selection the label went with ffs. Only Your Body and Just a Fool? They wanted her to flop so BAD. Your singles choice is perfect! Maybe I'd add Army of Me because it's also very catchy and radio friendly, but the options were right there! Let There Be Love was the most obvious single choice that was left untouched. The hit that got away methinks   If it was up to me I would've pushed for Your Body, Let There Be Love, Army of Me, Red Hot Kinda Love and All Around the World, maybe with Cease Fire as some promotional single somewhere between singles or shortly before the album release.

Lotus by Christina Aguilera (2012) Tracklist (by @Prince of the Dark) Single Rollout 1. Your Body 2. Let There Be Love 3. Red Hot Kinda Love 4. All Around The World 5.  Cease Fire 6. Just A Fool (general standalone single, later tacked as a bonus track to boost sales) Hot take but this album truly isn't as bad as how people make it out to be. It has some weak spots honestly, but it was rushed to a certain degree because there are some songs where her genuine effort does shine through. I also wish we had more bops like Your Body and Let There Be Love too. That aside, there is a real good 12 track decent pop record hiding beneath the fluff.

I did a cover for a greatest hits in 2024 but the text looks shite so I made a new cover because I was too lazy to recreate my old one Also updated my tracklist

Agreed. I don't think by any means it's a bad album, its just a bit overstuffed. B Alright is my only skip though, I might relisten to the og album though and retweak my tracklist because whilst I think my order is surprisingly perfect, I want to squeeze a song between the great forever and night. i am fucking HOWLING
