Producers: Dusky, Gold Panda, Grimes
Writers: Azealia Banks, Childish Gambino, Grimes, David Bowie
Release Date: 1/10/2015

Today, Azealia Banks released the album everyone has been waiting for. Dropped on iTunes at midnight, The Dying Stars was revealed to thew world. Azealia has been promoting the album, which is her third under this label, continuously throughout the past few weeks. Azealia bought out all the banners on iTunes this week to further promote the album, making sure everyone will know that Azealia has finally released the album the world has been waiting on. As soon as you refreshed the iTunes page, all you saw was Azealia Banks and her domination (by it on iTunes) Along with the release of the album, Azealia also dropped two promotional singles which have both entered the iTunes top ten. Currently, the album sits at number one immediately following the release. When Azealia was asked about why she chose Dusky as the lead producer of the album, Azealia said the following "Dusky's music just gives you weird amazing feelings. Feelings I'd never had until I listened to Dusky. His songs continued to inspire me and I decided that I just had to collab with him. I called him up and got him to come produce my album for me. We had a great time and the finished product is even more than what I wanted." Reviews for the album have flown in over the past few days and Metacritic currently has The Dying Stars at a 78. Metamorph, the lead single of the album and current single, still reigns number one on iTunes at the moment and has gained an ever greater increase due to the album release. Azealia was quoted saying "Well I plan to continue to promote Metamorph minimally while also promoting my two promotional songs, Space Oddity and Fly. Both of which will become official singles later on"

Deluxe/Target Edition:

The Target and Deluxe editions of the album have gained a great deal of attention. The Deluxe edition is a limited edition, kind of. It's limited in the sense that there are only going to be 200,000 copies but it's not limited edition in the sense that it'll be available everywhere digitally. Only the digipak will be limited. The Target edition has drawn so many people's eyes. This edition has gotten in a great deal of controversy over the fact that the deal Azealia signed with Target is so giant that they have been airing commercials of Azealia nonstop over the past two weeks. Azealia's success with Target shows they'll have a long relationship together in the music industry.

Promo Singles:

Along with the release of the album as a whole as well as the lead single two weeks beforehand, Azealia Banks also released two promotional singles that will be sent to radio in the future. Space Oddity is the first of the promotional singles. Released the day of the album release, the single is a cover of David Bowie's iconic tune. She premiered the song on her Saturday Night Live episode where she both hosted and performed. Azealia described her cover of Space Oddity as "a respectful cover. One that shows off my own flavor while embracing Bowie's beautiful sound from days past. I hope and pray this will please the fans as it is one of my favorites off the album." The other promotional single Azealia also released was Fly, a song featuring Childish Gambino that the two wrote while vacationing in Senegal. The song is 90s house inspired with a hint of 90s hip hop. Azealia described the song as "It's about flying through life and missing the beauty of everything around you, never getting to sit and look at the simple things like outer space." Both songs will be sent to radio and will be performed throughout the week. Be sure to buy both on iTunes.

I don't get why dirty night is 6. Maybe because it was released the same time as album.

Dirty Night neatsidūrė gana aukštoje pozicijoje, nes šią savaitę kažkodėl yra labai didelė konkurencija ir labai daug žmonių susigriebė, padarė viską, kad gautų kuo daugiau bonus taškų, pavyzdžiui, leido remiksinius EP, oficialius remiksus, video klipus, viską, už ką galėtų gauti papildomų taškų. Susidaro nemažai bonus taškų, ir apskaičiavus bei sudėjus visus taškus matosi ganėtinai ryški bonus taškų įtaką. Be to, dar vienas dalykas, dėl ko Dirty Night atsidūrė tik šeštoje vietoje - žmonės praeitą savaitę manęs labai reikalavo, kad padaryčiau tą "aftereffect" dalyką, ir aš nutariau jį įgalinti, todėl dabar pridedu aštuonis procentus praeitos savaitės parduotų kopijų prie kitos savaitės parduotų kopijų kiekio. Bet palyginus su kitais singlais (nuėmus visus bonus taškus, aftereffecto taškus), tavo singlas atsiduria arba #3 arba #2 vietoje, o tai yra gana aukštos pozicijos.
