Honestly I'm more excited for the second album she promised than for an extended version of Hot City. I'm scared that Bonnie feels like too much time has passed, that those songs aren't current anymore, and decides to shelve it. Hopefully we get both.

I'm only now finding out, looking at that page, that Bonnie also co-wrote Miracle Man, which was one the best from Bebe Rexha's last album. I thought she had only worked on that other song.

The way we all knew about Show You Mine (formerly known as Show Me Your Love) but we all just kinda wrote it off and there was never demand for it to leak or be released by Bonnie officially, and it ended up being one of the highlights of the album I'm glad there was this nice surprise at least, because the rest of the bops we all had listened to in full before. I envy the gays who will experience Everything But You, Forever 21, Rewind Your Heart and Electric Heaven for the first time on Spotify today. If released with major label investment behind it, and at the right time, this could have been one of those pop albums that put out several big hit singles, like Teenage Dream, Future Nostalgia, Love Angel Music Baby, The Dutchess, Rhythm Nation, Forever Your Girl, etc. We were robbed of an iconic era. I can imagine how Bonnie felt when the project was shelved.

I had no idea Bonnie wrote songs for Gwen Stefani's shelved 2014 album. We were robbed 😭

The amount of care and attention to detail Bonnie puts into everything she does is so impressive.

I can't wait for Everything But You to be officially released. It has always been my favorite song.

Only 3 more months and the wait will finally be over. By the way, am I the only one here also excited for the album Bonnie promised to release after Hot City?

Lifetime is airing a new 2-part documentary, "Where Is Wendy Williams?", on February 24-25. The film is expected to clarify what's going on with the TV star, which has been off the air since 2021 and left millions of fans around the world worried for her health and safety. Watch the trailer below. Considering the documentary is executive produced by Wendy herself, should this be a sign that everything is well with our queen, and that a definitive comeback can be expected after this event? Or will it leave us devastated by bringing us the news that the iconic host's health condition will prevent us gays from ever having her back gracing our screens with her messy opinions?

Please go watch her latest TikTok / Instagram Reels videos. She needs to get to 3,000 pre-saves by tomorrow. Considering how many of us here bullied her into releasing the album, the least we can do is support her - though I wish she would have explained this sooner to us so we could have prepared better. Bonnie has loyal fans here that she can reach out in private and be more open about the business side of things and that can mobilize others to help her get the numbers she needs. We love these songs and want Bonnie to get the success she deserves. But we're not organized.

I wasn't expecting Don't Get Mad Get Famous to be on the album, didn't she say once on her TikTok comments that she never finished writing the lyrics for the song, and was even surprised fans were asking for it? Or am I confusing it for something else?

As much as I wanted it already, I think it makes sense to release the album next year. In this day and age, for an artist like Bonnie, she has to release all the potential hits as singles before putting the full album out. Only the singles get decent exposure on streaming, the rest of the tracks will be listened only by the people who are really into her. This album has too many potential hits that shouldn't get wasted like that.

In its first 5 days of release, Hot City had 20% more streams than SLAY on Spotify at the same point. I hope Bonnie is pleased with the numbers and continues with the release plans for the album so she can keep the momentum going, and follow it up with her new songs next year.

It debuted slightly better than SLAY on Spotify (14.744 streams vs 12.849), and that one already performed better than almost everything she released after the Bombastic EP.

I couldn't watch her Instagram live, because it was way too late at night for me. Did she provide any new information about the album? Also, did you guys notice Hot City was released under the Snafu Records label, instead of "Bonnie McKee Music" like her previous solo singles?

SLAY passed 100,000 streams today on Spotify. It also has increased pace for the last 3 days. Does anyone know if it was added to another Spotify playlist?

Those streams still count for a song's total number of streams.

Spotify didn't put SLAY on the New Music Friday playlist

It's #13 on iTunes Brazil, I know it doesn't mean anything, but would be cool to give a #1 for Bonnie to celebrate. Let's make it happen guys 13 NEW Bonnie McKee - SLAY Brazil iTunes Top Songs (kworb.net)

It's been believed that Spotify only counts 10 streams per day from each account, but I think that's only for their charts. I think if you let it playing all day it still counts to the song's overall number of streams and Bonnie gets paid for all of them. I'll let it playing all day on Spotify, Youtube Music and Apple Music (which I just got one month free). Also bought it on iTunes.

This is not stealing and it has become an annoying criticism of JLo that has dominated Twitter, especially after the incredible turn she had on her career after the Hustlers film, the Super Bowl performance and her acclaimed It's My Party tour. People are jealous that she's becoming more respected as an artist and are looking for a reason to hate on her. The use of uncredited vocals was nothing new by the time she started her music career. I can think of the 1985 Diana Ross album Eaten Alive, which has noticeable, uncredited vocals by Michael Jackson and Bee Gees all over the record. This was just a stylistic choice, nothing shady at all. People have turned Ashanti into a victim when in reality she is friends with JLo and has defended her from these attacks.
