Manic by Halsey
Manic is an album by Halsey, released in 2020. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “You Should Be Sad”, on 1 list with a best position of #19.
Manic, Halsey's third album, arrived on Capitol Records on January 17, 2020, and it refuses to sit still. She co-produced it with a crowd that included Louis Bell, Jon Bellion, Greg Kurstin, Benny Blanco, Finneas and Cashmere Cat, and the record lurches from pop and electropop to hip-hop and alternative rock, with detours into country and R&B. Halsey herself said it changes its mind as often as she does, and that's the point: it plays like a diary with the pages shuffled.
"Without Me" went to the top of the Hot 100 ahead of it, "Graveyard" and "You Should Be Sad" followed, and Dominic Fike, Alanis Morissette and Suga turn up as guests. It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 with 239,000 units, became the first album of 2020 to go double platinum and ended up her best-selling record worldwide. The Manic World Tour got 17 shows in before the COVID-19 pandemic shut it down.
