ShaniaNOW #1

On the average, Shania is charting at #2-3 spots digitally. However, she is consistently at #1 for physical sales. Pre-order for about several months + tour bundle. 

I hope predictions were true that she headed for #1 in Billboard 200 this week. 

---

If she is number one on the Billboard 200 she is automatically the number one country album on the country charts too. Which should wake up Nashville right? Do you think she is going to be above the 900,000 mark or 100,000 marks? Would this be the best-selling album debut this year? Would this give her another Billboard award?

Is it safe to say that Shania's label finally released Swingin' to country radio today following the album release and the music video?

---

 I think so but let see where it charts. I think she was wise to release it today so it can get some momentum on the charts esp the country radio charts.

Would vinyls be counted in physical album sales?

---

Yes. It should be.

I think NOW (Deluxe) and NOW (Regular) should be counted as 2 in any physical platform. 😊

 I scanned them this morning. I'd love to find the original also. I started doing a digital booklet this morning. I have all the lyrics and credits typed up and the few pictures we already have.

---

What do you mean by Digipak in your original post?

I added all the lyrics to my website.

I like you can't buy love.  It's fun and catchy!

 Play "Footloose" and then listen to that after you listen to that. I love it too but it sounds like Footloose with a girl group power anthem! 

Here is a preview of the digital booklet I'm working on.

I'll check. I'll also check again next week. I think it said something like it'll be in stores later next week but within a 35 mile radius, if that's the case, that there is none, I find it alarming that it's not in stores. I'll update you guys.

Do you think album downloads from the concert bundle are included in this prediction ?

---

I'm pretty sure they are. Plus people got an actual CD for every ticket they bought. I bought 3 tickets so I'm being sent 3 CDs. I hate when artists "give" albums away to increase sales. It's not a true reflection of actual sales. It's a snow job.

 Even without those sales I think she would be a main competetor for the #1 spot. And I think it's just a good marketing trick, something her team has always been good at (double sales of UP for instance).

I was most definitely wrong... NOW is actually brilliant. The more I listen to it I'm like... okay I get this now. Sonically it was very unusual to me at first but when I found myself crying while listening to Where Do You Think You're Going, it finally clicked.

---

 My first listen I was like "hmm, this may not be on replay at all, but man oh man is this album great! I think We Got Something They Don't is still my favourite with Roll Me On The River a close second. Those two songs just have something about them. I really get Elton John, Paul McCartney vibes. Either or would be a great single for Fall. Also, it's the first time for me that bonus track are not my favourite. For that reason, I'm glad she mixed them up in the album because I think I'd get bored listening to them. I guess I don't mind Because Of You or All In All (It's actually a great song)

I think this should be the singles roll out:

1. Life's About To Get Good (definitely a great first choice)
2. Swingin' With My Eyes Closed (if it weren't that she already had the video filmed, I would of scraped this as a single)
3. We Got Something They Don't
4. Soldier
5. Roll Me On The River
6. Who's Gonna Be Your Girl

Let me ask you again. I thought I understood the meaning of "Roll me on the river" phrase but now I'm not so sure. Could you explain? Is it a metaphor?

---

 I am having problems with Swingin too and Rolling too. I want to connect and understand it but what does it all mean do you think?

 Alright, I'm gonna try to explain Swingin' to the best of my capabilities, which honestly, I'm a scatter brain so, yeah ha

In general the song is about taking a chance at life or whatever obstacle you may find in your path. THE FIRST VERSE (Summer's here, bring it on, another year, one more beer, another song...) She's priming herself up, getting pumped up to do whatever it is she's  getting ready to do (possibly in regards to taking a "SWING" at her music career again, hence the first track of the album) THE CHORUS (I'm Swingin'... Got my hair down, wide open road... Only god know, how far it goes...Fist up in the air, go like we don't care...) She's swinging full force ahead. Taking the chance, no matter the outcome. The SECOND VERSE (Life is short... Nothing sure in this world... I kiss you once...) pretty much is "life's too short" to sit back and do nothing, take the risk. The outcome can be good!

To me, this song is pretty self explanatory but I guess the word "Swingin" itself can take multiple meaning also. Shania used the reference of a baby coming out of the woom his eyes close and swinging his little arms, breathing his first breath of life in a unknown world or a boxer getting ready to fight in the ring, not knowing what the outcome will be until it finished and done with. I also believe this is the song the she wrote while she was watching a baseball game from the skybox because she was sick... so metaphor for Swingin' at a baseball.

I think it's "just going down the river in a boat" which kinda makes sense

Roll me on the river
Lay me in the sun
Love me like a giver
Give me some

Very sexy song!

Thank you, I just thought it was a metaphor of having sex or something like that. Because I kinda can't connect the river with everything else here. I thought river opposed to the sun has something to do with sweating - cool vs warm and so on.
