Bonus question: Who had the best recent album? 

Edited December 4, 20223 yr by PopKills

Fergie had the best recent album.

Gwen's next album will be the biggest.

Nelly's album will be the best.

Gwen's will be the biggest. She's the only one of the three who the GP still sees regularly 

Bold of you to assume there's going to be a follow up from any of those three

 

Voted Nelly for all because Portugese icon deserves

Exactly what i voted.. 

 

I see Nelly going back to roots with the Timbaland style bops

 

Gwen's music lately is a flop and uninspired 

 

Fergie is releasing once like a decade so.. Its over

Gwen's album will be the biggest if she releases a duet album with her hubby.

She looks amazing nowadays, but I doubt it. She's 44, a mom of 3 and went independent for a reason.

But Fergie's was the best, Gwen's will be the biggest

 

Nelly is not releasing any new music anytime soon I fear 

 

 

Nelly won when it mattered: the 00s

 

Now she decided to move away from the spotlight and is 0 commercial. no comparison needed

Gwen for all three, provided that a) Bl*ke doesn't get anywhere near the new album and b) she actually releases something for once.
