The album is a spiritual successor to COADF, not a purely sonic one. Both were made at a time where her previous album and artistic vision were heavily disliked (I'd argue the reception to Madame X was worse, not even her fans liked it) and her relevance was being called into question. Not to mention the uncertainty in herself that she overcame while making C1( due to the public and Guy Ritchie/Satan) and C2( public perception, relationships with her children, insecurity with her appearance, etc). Both also started being made initially on a tour–both coincidentally being tours that look at her whole back catalog, if I am not wrong. There is a reason Stuart said what he said about the name.

The point of COADF and C2 is dancing your struggles away, not whatever sonic identity she and Stuart might have chosen, in my opinion.

Maybe it's because social media is a personally curated bubble, but I've been seeing a lot of people in line at music stores for the album, as well as store owners saying the albums is selling unusually fast. Not to mention the unexpected high streaming performance and other fans/stans tuning in to listen and liking it.

Warner might have underestimated her commercial power, but maybe I'm wrong.

I'm a high schooler and have a slavic language as my native one while knowing English at a native level. I have not really read any books in my native language throughout my childhood and as a consequence have a diminished reading comprehension and slightly slower reading speed (about 115 WPM). It's to the point where when I tried to read "The Divine Comedy" by Dante this year–as it was one of the assigned works for school–I could barely understand anything.

I know that the basic way to get better is to read more (which I have prepared to do over the summer break), but what I want to know is:

​

How do I get good at both languages simultaneously?

​

I want to learn how to write prose, essays, poems, and song lyrics in both languages, but the way of balancing all of the writing activities (writing down unfamiliar words, reading, writing itself, etc) with my schoolwork, learning German, and additional Mathematics and Physics is a mystery to me.

If it helps, I learn best in marathon study sessions. I imagine this also applies here.

​

Thank you to anyone who answers!

I feel that, especially on Twitter, M fans just don't care about streaming her music. I've literally listened to people using BYL's own lyrics as an excuse to not stream it. Ik that streams aren't everything, but they are the modern metric for success and the indicator of how much money a label should put into an album campaign. Plus, I think M would be happy about that too.

Edit: Where on earth did I say I want a #1, people?

Though, I think we're all happy a certain someone didn't win... Also, it feels nice to see us slavs finally get some acknowledgment from Eurovision. Congrats again!

Edit: Messed the title up a bit :)
