I’m gonna put on my rose-colored glasses and say it’s because of Hate My Heart!It is truly remarkable. She is up 700,000+ monthly listeners on Spotify over a month ago.

It would be a great gift for the fans, but Carrie is too much of a perfectionist to be able to release an album like that.Carrie should release a "The Ones That Got Away" album full of like 30 songs she's written or put on hold for other eras that didn't make the albums for one reason or another. From the leaks of unreleased songs I've heard throughout her career, while there have been some duds, I've found many to be on par with what ends up making her albums, some even better.
I would love it, I hope this idea reaches her. It could be rock, Christian/gospel and classic country. If she took a chance, she could also do pop.I would love for Carrie to release an album of covers from all her favorite genres. It could be a multi-disc album divided by genre, which would help with streaming. They could release a different single to each radio format - country, AC, etc.
The 80's theme that inspired the album "Denim & Rhinestones" is already overused, the timing for this release was wrong. Whenever I show Carrie to my friends, I hear the same thing, that her aesthetic is tacky, that her voice lacks subtlety, that they don't like artists who hit such high notes, etc. Maybe it's a new generation that's no longer that interested in her style and old fans no longer buy albums or have switched to streaming.I just really wish Carrie’s label and her team would prioritize streaming. Carrie CAN get great streaming numbers, just look at IIDLY, Champion, and even her last solo #1 Church Bells. There’s no reason D&R should be flopping so hard in streaming when it’s an album of bops. For instance, radio has more interest in HMH than they have had in a single by Carrie in years. And if that translated to streaming too, HMH would be pulling great streaming numbers. And Carrie definitely still has a pretty young fan base, she is definitely well known by the general public. She is still very buzzy and a household name, so there is no reason she should not have streaming hits. It’s like there just isn’t enough of an effort, a promo in that department, and it makes me so upset, the missed opportunity. UMG needs to get to work on this, but I doubt they ever will. I just want Carrie to have another huge streaming & overall buzzy smash hit
I’d say the new generation isn’t into singers as much as they are into influencers/brands. Hear me out… Olivia and Billie aren’t really known for the notes they can hit but rather their brand. I’d even bring other established artists into the conversation Miley and Taylor. These artists are really good at switching up their style and brand to stay with current times. Carrie has never been this type of artist and it reflects in the quality and consistency of her work.It would be a great gift for the fans, but Carrie is too much of a perfectionist to be able to release an album like that.
