Fletcher's 2nd album is out March 22nd.
Webstore exclusive (more expensive w/ alt artwork) Spotify Fans First Red Target White Indie (light blue) Standard black Wouldn't be surprised to see an Urban Outfitters variant too. Also wouldn't be too surprised if you skip the PO and find it cheaper after release like any other Fletcher release.

Vinyl Records + Cassette Tapes on Sale | Urban Outfitters
UO is having a sale for 50% off on clearance vinyl (price in cart.) I just got 6 albums for $7.49 each.
Recommended including some albums already posted here before: Anna of the North, Ashe, G Flip, Hatchie, K.Flay, Roosevelt, Sylvan Esso, Tessa Violet.

This is how I've been feeling for the last few years. Adding more and more pop than other genres to my collection every year.

A bunch of these have been posted but I've found I liked more pop music this year than any other. I'm not sure if my interests are changing or if it's the state of music in general.

My favorites in order of release date (with some R&B and adjacent stuff added):
 
Albums

Ava Max “Diamonds & Dancefloors”
Kali Uchis “Red Moon in Venus”
Bebe Rexha "Bebe"
Jessie Ware "That! Feels Good!"
Sue Clayton "Rookie"
Softee “Natural”
Kim Petras “Feed the Beast”
Gus Dapperton "Henge"
George Clanton "Ooh Rap I Ya"
Icona Pop “Club Romantech”
Leah Kate "Super Over"
Doja Cat “Scarlet”
Slayyyter “Starfucker” (easily my #1)
Carr “The CARR Show”
Dorian Electra "Fanfare"
Cobrah "Succubus"
Sizzy Rocket "Rat"
Wild Nothing “Hold”
Tkay Maidza “Sweet Justice”
 
EPs
 
Qveen Herby “The Muse”
Skyler Acord “True Viridian”

Rosse “Blood Sweat No Tears”

Anyone have any 2023 pop albums they want to recommend that anyone hasn't posted yet?
I'll start...
Chappell Roan - The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess
Romy (from The XX) - Mid Air
Wildermiss - Levitate
 

If you're getting the Lolo album off Diggers Factory, I want to suggest also picking up Oscar Scheller's new album. He's co-writer on Lolo's EP and he has also worked with Ashnikko, Rina, and others. His album is limited to 100.
Oscar Scheller - Coming Of Age - Diggers Factory

Sounds similar to what happened with Awesome merch.

Wax Bodega shut down their merch site. I'm sure there's way more than what is listed.

UO says their Roosevelt exclusive is blank perle transparent vinyl, limited to just 500, but this is the same as the standard right?
Roosevelt - Embrace Limited LP | Urban Outfitters

"Playgirl" by Lolo Zouaï goes online Friday. I got it on her tour and I definitely recommend it but just a warning it might be $45.

Formentera II is up for PO:
Webstore exclusives: Music - Metric Online Store (ilovemetricstore.com)
They are also releasing part I & II as a limited edition of 650. I only found one color for this version and exclusive to Metric:
Metric Formentera I & II - Limited Edition with Signed Insert - Metric Online Store (ilovemetricstore.com)

I don't get why women even leave the house. Like, they know what could happen right? You see it on the news every day.

i don't have to (and nor would i ever want to) "know" you, you've shown your ass on here before on this same issue lmfao. you blame the victims and dickride mediocre rockstars, willing to excuse real harm and abuse of power because you clearly despise women, who are just "groupies" or "hookers" to you. if you were intelligent enough to, you'd have some shame and keep your mouth shut on these issues. but since you and all the other mouthbreathing rape apologists on here are not, i'm more than happy to put you in your place.

Is anyone looking for Paranoia EP by Maggie Lindemann? A repress has been popping up for PO, including on Amazon. Neither of the first 2 pressings have ever sold for non-flipper prices.

FYI, don't offer free shipping as a default. Yes, the fees are the same either way, but Discogs doesn't sort by price to include shipping. Even if your price for a record plus shipping is the cheapest option for buyers, your listing will be lower down on the page and potentially buried in the listings. Keep charging shipping unless Discogs fixes their sorting.

Same here. I only sell to either free up space or buy new records. I never really looked at selling as a business. 
I'm sure this has been brought up a few times, but it's a good idea to log your purchases/keep receipts. You can claim the price you paid for the record you sell as a business expense. It helps bring down the income taxed owed for selling online.
I used to have a custom field in my Discogs collection to track purchase costs, but I've since switched to a simple excel file.

For me this is as much unjustifable as putting sales tax on shipping charges. What the hell my country has to do with the shipping cost I paid for usps. This is pathetic. And the fact that sales tax here is 27% I am about 65-70 bucks shipped a record now, started at 20-25 back in the day...

It's because people thought they were smart pricing their items super cheap with the savings added into the shipping price. Like for a normal $20 LP with $5 shipping they'd charge $5 with $20 shipping.

They should connect with Urban Outfitters to get their discography pressed. I'm a little surprised that hasn't happened yet.

Feeling really sorry for anyone who dropped a chunk on boots in recent years thinking an official repress was never going to happen.

Soooooooooooooo stoked for this.

My thoughts too. It's holding me off from PO'ing until it's confirmed to be the only deluxe variant.

Fletcher's Girl of My Dreams is getting a deluxe 2LP release through Target. This album easily made my top 10 last year so I'm hoping there are other variants of the deluxe because Target does not know how to ship vinyl.
