Update Martinez

A week ago, @melanielbbh’s “POSSESSION” debuted on global charts worldwide. Since then, it has generated nearly 20 million global streams and 150,000 sales worldwide (est.), in addition to receiving positive critical acclaim for Martinez’s return. “HADES” is coming.

“POSSESSION” remains the biggest debut by a female solo artist on Spotify for the second consecutive month, despite having zero playlists at release. — Her closest competitor debuted with half a million fewer streams than Melanie.

“HADES” rises one position to a new peak of #3 on Spotify’s Global Countdown albums, it’s currently the most-waited release for a female artist by pre-saves numbers.

Streaming Week Project — This project aims to revisit @melanielbbh’s old projects leading up to the release of her fourth album, “HADES”. See below for the days we will focus on each project: 03/22 — “Dollhouse EP” 03/23 — “Cry Baby” 03/24 — “K-12” 03/25 — “After School EP” 03/26 — “PORTALS” 03/27 — “HADES”

My THEORY to “HADES” history: Tracks 1 : this is the worldview in which Circle lives, a chaotic world. Track 2—4 : "Is this a cult?" is about Circle's introduction to Hades Tech, which gradually changes her perspective on the world, until she reaches the peak of her "possession". Track 5 : "Disney Princess" is when Circle fully immerses herself in the music industry and becomes an AI singer; her possession is complete. Track 6—9 : These songs are versatile, a demonstration by Hades Tech on the greatness of Artificial Intelligence and how Circle can "replace" real artists. Track 10—13 : Talks about the instability of Circle and its AI circuits, in yesterday's presentation, may have been represented as the goo that consumed it. Track 14—17 : Circle is slowly rebelling against the rules of Hades Tech and becoming increasingly self-aware. Track 18 : Circle is finally full of herself, almost a perfect human. And after a few songs, we can deduce that Circle's world was devastated by human greed, which led to the end of all humanity, except for two beings, Circle and her love, ending the story (or leaving it open) for now. Leave your theories in the comments ✨🩰.

“HADES” surpassed 650,000 pre-saves, it’s currently the most-waited female album globally on Spotify. Pre-save now: melaniemartinez.lnk.to/HADES

“Spent so many years being cute on the TV Before I could blink, I became nearly 30 And I got bigger boobs so that I could transcend it Now all that I read is ‘Hey I think she’s pregnant!’” — Melanie Martinez on her new track ‘WEIGHT WATCHERS’.

they say that Melanie Martinez doesn’t give a damn about her fans and that she’s bad, yet during Weight Watchers, after she saw my sign where I talked about my struggle with anorexia, she kept looking at me during the songs. And in the end, when she broke down crying at the end of the performance of the whole album, she was staring at me while I was crying too.
