According to Google Trends, "ATRL" peaked on August 2013:

 

 

 

It was the month of Katy Perry teasing her dark era…

 

… only to deliver more of the same fun colorful pop

 

 

Lady Gaga starting the ARTPOP era with this interesting video…

 

… and then underperforming (relative to the high expectations of the time) with 'Applause':

 

 

 

Both of which ultimately culminated to one of the biggest feud moments in pop culture…

 

 

… with all the gifs this moment provided us:

 

 

 

 

It was also the month when the 2013 VMAs happened, where you had many past & present ATRL favs in attendance…

 

 

 

… with notable comeback performances by Katy Perry & Lady Gaga, as well as Ariana Grande's VMA debut:

 

 

 

And of course, THE big moment of the night: Miley Cyrus's controversial performance of We Can't Stop & Blurred Lines…

 

 

 

 

 

Are you surprised that this month was the peak of ATRL (acc. to Google)?

Not surprised, iconic year 

 

ATRL should have active social media where they post celeb news with its threads links

IG, Twitter 

It works really well for 2 brazilian music pop forums and that surprisingly makes them more relevant now than before 

Not surprised, iconic year [2]

i actually am surprised 

Extremely stable, which is a very good sign.

I’m so happy I was able to experience train wreck after train wreck here on the old ATRL. Truly a messy stan experience. 

i miss it 

Not surprised. Miley really had pop culture by the throat during that month/year.

omg Ariana coming through and being the IT girl of the 2020s

2013 was such in every way

I’m gonna sound like an old hag but god i miss when the VMAs were a pop culture EVENT

the katycats really ran away  the embarrassment

Nawt atrl being a 2013 fad

2013 was such an iconic year for pop music & pop culture.

2013 was traumatizing for many people but so fun !

ATRL serving the same career trajectory as Katy Perry. Iconic behaviour methinks

No, not surprised. Wasn't there an ARTPOP vs. PRISM poll where ARTPOP had 1500 votes and PRISM 400-500 votes.  I've never seen a poll with that many votes or even half of that on ATRL    

Also apart from Gaga-Katy, we had Miley's peak era and huge controversies and then the year ENDED with Beyonce dropping Self Titled   Talk about iconic.

The main issue is that ATRLhas the worse servers I have ever seen in a forum. If people knew what an ATRL was, not even the members would be able to access this thing. The two brazilian forums at this point are bigger than actual news website, though. 

2019 had that mini peak with the thread messy gay exposes downlow partners. People kept saying they wouldn't be surprised if he was murdered for outing people.

Can't see it now of course.

 

"but on a serious note this kinda is dangerous. Be careful when you expose guys on the DL as you could end up dead"

they really didn't. you just can't notice them since they're hiding behind non-katy avis

I miss messy oldTRL. Wish we could still see all the iconic threads and posts. 

 

 

2013 was THAT year! Best year of the 2010s hands down.

No wonder why certain topics are so outdated in 2022
