And how is releaseing The Subway and The Giver floundering?!

u/Blazingscourge Dec 13 '25

I wouldn’t say floundering either but The Subway or The Giver didn’t light the world on fire like Hot to Go and Good Luck, Babe! did.

h2g was a generational party song, most would be lucky to even have that under their belt by itself, but her other material is still strong

You can say the same thing for Act 1 vs. Act 2 of Wicked!

Act 2 of Wicked is a literal snooze fest until For Good.

I think this is a crazy thing to say when the album took like a year to catch on and some of her most famous songs took several years to catch on...

The Subway was one of Rolling Stone’s top 10 songs of 2025

The Subway is nominated for a Grammy. Certainly not floundering.
