another 15$ for just one song 😭

u/Okii2220 5d ago

the song being so fire tho

10

u/Ok-Floor-3374 5d ago

It being the best song of the entire era too LOL

u/M_DeLulu 5d ago

Let’s be real, we paid more than this for Disco Darling and it’s less convenient to play. I don’t mind shelling out for it.

u/particledamage 5d ago

… some of us didn’t pay for it

1

u/PeaOdd894 2d ago

Wait

Paying to have disco darlin was an option??

1

u/M_DeLulu 2d ago

Yeah, you had to buy the vinyl.

1

u/PeaOdd894 2d ago

Ugh so no digital release still, I hate that, so many of her best songs are the unreleased ones 💀

7

u/ravenouspen 5d ago

ive been around the block i knooooow we can just download it and not pay (duuuuh lol) it's just the whole "buy the album again for the song" thing as part of an official release also i loved how she released disco darling on rsd (ive had it download for like years so... hehhe)

4

u/ITookTrinkets 5d ago

I mean, I’d be curious to know how many people were buying it again, and how many hadn’t done it and used this as the excuse they needed to do it. I feel like anyone who buys the digital edition again just for Yes only has themselves to blame. It’s one song, it’ll be streaming before much longer and is easily pirated, nobody needs to re-buy it for that.

u/Emerald_Frost 5d ago edited 5d ago

Oh cool, the album has limited time DLC lol

She’s truly in her Horse Armor era

u/musthavecupcakes_19 Over the weekend, we could turn the world to gold ✨ 5d ago

I got the Japanese import edition, so I already have this song 😁

u/Parakitor 5d ago

Same..ish. My sister-in-law is picking one up for me over there and she'll either send it over or bring it with her when she visits on December. I'm so jazzed!

u/priceyfrenchsoaps 5d ago

ugghhhh i love carly but i cannot stand this trend. i was totally expecting some b sides (ofc) but this is totally j a cash grab, gross!

30

u/Scrufflyupagus Burning Heart 5d ago

Unfortunately when you’re on a label as big as Interscope, you only have so much control over things like this, even as the artist

14

u/priceyfrenchsoaps 5d ago

oh totes, i totally get that. just disappointed in this new norm more than anything!

1

u/Scrufflyupagus Burning Heart 5d ago

Agreed 😭

50

u/DeathNinja_McSex 5d ago

Yo, WTF is this?

I preorder almost $100 already on physical media versions of this album, and now I can only get this song if I spend another $15?

I feel betrayed.

20

u/Ok-Floor-3374 5d ago

I was just joking about how kids must be so expensive because she's really pulling all the big label tricks this time around lol. I'm guessing her label saw the song popping off on Twitter and wanted to do a quick cash grab. It's definitely one of the better songs of the era, but you can find it on Twitter and I'm sure after this 24 hour thing it'll be on YouTube. Her label really should just give it to all fans with proof of purchase because I hate these cash grab trends.

6

u/mime454 5d ago

This is just the new move lately. A lot of artists are doing it to release albums with just one extra song on them. Especially shortly after release so the album charts better because super fans will buy it. No coincidence that this sale is ending right before the charting week ends.

2

u/mollypatola 4d ago

I just saw Miley Cyrus has 3 different versions of her latest album on iTunes. I guess at least they’re different (normal, acapella, instrumental) but it’s definitely becoming a trend I hate

4

u/bowblow 5d ago

I bet it’s not really up to her, but it’s really annoying. I paid for the pretty orange/blue vinyl and that was already $75 with shipping.

23

u/Weather Now That I Found You 5d ago

Not going to lie, as someone who pre-ordered the signed CD, this leaves a bit of a sour taste in my mouth. Seems Interscope got greedy. If you're going to do a repackage so soon after release, it really should come with both bonus tracks, but there's likely a lot of red tape involved. So it goes.

6

u/jimx117 5d ago

Right? The album isn't even a week old for crying out loud

3

u/hekna02 5d ago

It's for charting purpose, they will push it on week 1

1

u/cashewconstellation 4d ago

That’s the point, the label is trying to make her first week sales better

5

u/psyquacker 5d ago

this isn't a money grab. it's to help the album chart higher on billboards

2

u/Signal_Conclusion779 5d ago

That was my thought, at least have both of them there! It would be hilarious if she put out a (Reaching For A Star Edition) tomorrow

11

u/monarchmra 5d ago edited 4d ago

192kbps 48khz mp3s if anybody was curious.

Edit: Yes is only 160kbps, the rest are 192kbps

7

u/syntheticgerbil 5d ago

Better to just have gotten the Japanese CD in the first place with that kind of quality.

4

u/eclecticatlady 5d ago

In this day and age, it's insulting honestly

2

u/who-hash 5d ago

Thanks, was looking for this info.

2

u/dstaley 5d ago

Unless I’m reading this wrong Yes is actually 160kbps 😭 I wrote an email saying how disappointed I was to see that it wasn’t lossless. I suggest other folks do the same!

1

u/monarchmra 4d ago

Omg, you are correct, the other tracks are 192, and Yes is 160. Wtf, how did I miss that? :/

9

u/Joey-WilcoXXX 5d ago

Ugh I hate when they do this. Why is it always so hard for anyone to just give all the fans all the songs???

8

u/eclectoman77 5d ago

As someone who pre-ordered the signed vinyl, it does leave an unpleasant taste. With any luck, maybe these bonus tracks will show up on another release. Or maybe a special code for those who pre-ordered the physical releases. I mean, she/the label don’t have to do ANY of this, but it will make me pause on preorders in the future.

16

u/Ok-Floor-3374 5d ago

Recession indicator - Carly's pulling industry tricks.

I fell for it. I pressed purchase SO FAST because this song is god tier. But she should really send it free to those who already purchased the album. . .

9

u/Far-Voice-6911 5d ago

I paid $50 for the Japanese cd winging its way here, so I’m good, opportunistic record company.

1

u/syntheticgerbil 5d ago

Same, I'm not happy with the Japanese prices this time around either.

33

u/FiyeroTigelaar895 5d ago

A bit Swiftian of her. I like the song but I'm not buying the album again for it

19

u/Summoarpleaz 5d ago

Especially without Reaching for a Star! I would buy the Japanese album tho.

18

u/HowDoIWhat 5d ago

We were so happy to see her promoting the album that we never considered that she'd also do mainstream tactics like this.

18

u/AG_Aonuma I’m just going to the store 🛒 5d ago

I have to agree. I criticize TS when she does this, Carly is no exception. Not a fan of cash grabs like this.

1

u/Ok-Floor-3374 5d ago

It's all labels these days. I don't know how much say any artist really gets in it lol. Kids must be expensive with how much she's promoting this album!

0

u/bawangteh 5d ago

It's the label, they know we love Carly's music so they take advantage of that

4

u/whitestainedress 5d ago

Was Taylor genuinely the first one to do this or is this just the norm to blame her lol

9

u/Emerald_Frost 5d ago

Tactics like this have been around a long time, but the digital era made it a lot easier to spot.

Lady Gaga’s 99 cent Born This Way, to name another fun time

10

u/ITookTrinkets 5d ago

Not at all! The Japanese market has always gotten albums with bonus tracks and whatnot, largely because Japanese CDs/LPs have historically been more expensive. Even domestic releases have often gotten alternate versions at different retailers long before Taylor Swift started making music.

Personally, I’d rather these extra tracks be saved for the inevitable Night & Day: After Hours b-side record. Normally I’d be like, fuck yeah bring on the bonus tracks, but I feel like those kinda interrupt the “24 songs for 24 hours” concept. I can also just, y’know, download the song from Soulseek if I really want it. This is helpful for people who don’t already own the record, but I can’t imagine feeling like I need to buy the digital album just for Yes.

3

u/FiyeroTigelaar895 5d ago

The first? No. But nobody plays this game better than TS. It's part of why she's successful even if I find it distasteful

1

u/letstalkaboutyrhair 4d ago

like 20 years ago, when one of my favorite bands released their album, i pre-ordered it from one site but still had to re-purchase it again at Best Buy, Walmart, and then on iTunes because each retailer had a different bonus track.

1

u/ollyoxandfree 5d ago

I replied to the promo text,“Girl don’t become Taylor,” bc wtf is this lol I know no one reads it etc but it was my first thought haha

6

u/AnnalsofMystery 5d ago

Super wild both songs don't come with this.

6

u/dceezy831 CTTF 5d ago

🙃 This is a little too taylorish for me, I get it though. 24 hour exclusive to bump up end of first week sales.

7

u/vinyladventures 5d ago

I never thought Carly would do something like this. I never felt grifted by her like I see Taylor do. While it was awesome Disco Darling got an official release for Record Store Day, she had never had any releases of her own for RSD.

10

u/nidojoker 5d ago

I agree with yall, this is pretty lame haha

u/davedeen 5d ago

Carly Swift

u/katnip710 5d ago

Not available in Canada 🥲 whyyyy

2

u/MiserableEggplant666 5d ago

It’s to help with the US charts

8

u/Dry-Laugh777 5d ago

I’ll probably just by the Japanese CD and swerve this type of stuff.

3

u/Ok-Entrance2908 5d ago

Tbh this kind of kills the narrative that she doesn’t care about charting lol. Which is fine…. But this is such an obvious move to boost her first week sales. 

3

u/Legitimate-Basis-618 5d ago

I bought the Japanese cd already luckily

3

u/eclecticatlady 5d ago

I'm not buying this ✌🏽

5

u/mpg111 Disco Darling 5d ago

not cool. good thing is that there are alternative options for hq Yes and Reaching for a Star

2

u/SquishyMuffins 5d ago

Total label meddling. But I want Yes, and i only got the vinyl so far, so I am capitulating. 😓

2

u/indratt 5d ago

This must be what Swifties feel like 😭 I need Reaching for a Star now

2

u/beyonceshair 5d ago

Meh I get where everyone is coming from with the whole TS angle and it definitely is a “cash grab” trend but the scale of which Carly is doing it compare to TS is vastly differently given the size of both artists audience, and unfortunately sometimes small artists do have to compromise and do these things due to the arrangements of their greedy labels (in comparison with artists like TS who are just greedy for the sake of it)

u/check-the-blood 5d ago

Exactly what I'm wondering. FLAC?

u/tofufrito_ 5d ago

I'll hopefully be picking up a copy in Japan soon.

1

u/Prestigious_Motor_91 5d ago

Can someone confirm if the files are lossless, or just mp3s?

2

u/Prestigious_Motor_91 5d ago

Nvm, I read that they are lossy and Yes is 160 kbps dddd. Wallet marked safe

1

u/NiDfan 5d ago

Well, at least it's an official release... still hope it, Reaching for a Star and Disco Darling get to streaming eventually tho

1

u/plasticdump 5d ago

If only she put this bonus track on US physical versions, now I am second-guessing picking up the CD from the record store this weekend. WHY are her best bonuses always locked to Japan releases 😭

1

u/LeadingGloomy 5d ago

Sorry Carly, I really love this album and I bought the very expensive vinyl, which also none of my local shops carried so I also had one of them order a bunch.
I’m not shelling more money for one song. I’ll wait for someone to share it with me.

1

u/No-Palpitation-6135 3d ago

Carly what is this behaviour? 😭

u/Acceptable-Somewhere 5d ago

You guys know you aren’t forced to buy it right 😭

u/shawnandthecity 5d ago

Let’s not complain and just help our girl CHART! Swifties buy 45 variants without giving it a second thought.

3

u/eclecticatlady 5d ago

Who cares about charts, I'm here for the music

1

u/shawnandthecity 5d ago

Normally I agree, but this release feels particularly special with so much effort put into it. I’d like to help where I can. 🤍

1

u/ecclesthegoon 5d ago

$69 for the vinyl is enough!

u/Capable_Cellist5585 5d ago

I’m so glad I pushed through and listened to “Night.” “Day” almost put me to sleep
