MotoPapi Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Thank you, next was a resounding success. She became a solidified MPG and the hits from that album were a huge success. however she followed up that momentum with a slower/chill album that was a departure from the fun sound of TUN and then went to join a singing competition show as a judge (mostly reserved for C list celebrities who peaked decades ago) and then disappeared and got married. I have a feeling when she comes back with a new project she will not see as much success and the GP would have moved on from her. did Ariana (Run Pop) Grande waste her imperial years?

Sazare Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Hard to consider anything about her career as “wasted” when she’s still exceedingly popular and successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kh-Loud Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) Taylor repeaking and smashing this hard signals that the final demolition of real vocalists is near Ari isn’t safe! Ariana should slash her range in half and start talking in her songs more to give an impression that she gets Mariahed!

littlebodybigheart Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 we’ll know with her next album but yeah i don’t think she has the talent/musicality to go much further than she already has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRL Moderator Ampersand13 Posted December 5, 2022 ATRL Moderator Share Posted December 5, 2022 I mean she's already demonstrated great staying power (especially with her singles). Maybe Positions wasn't like a massive behemoth of an era but I don't think it was really meant to be. If she wants it, she can get it methinks.

selena_lavigne Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) literally what? positions was absolutely massive. there are no signs pointing to decline and whatever happens next really just depends on the quality of the music and if people are still interested. but the signs point to the next album being another 100+ week charting smash album.

selena_lavigne Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 if you look at this info from BB you can see that positions is her 3rd best charting album and is her 2nd album in a row to be at #1 for multiple weeks, which is a difficult thing to get, not everybody has that nothing was wasted except maybe pushing out more singles. but since her album tracks already charted pretty high, and the singles that she did release were SPAMMED on radio, there was really no point.

BOOMBAYAH Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 She’s incredibly rich, has her hits, has her accolades, and looks to be satisfied living a more laidback life. If she is happy in the position she’s in, she hasn’t “wasted” anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoisonPill Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Care to explain how being the biggest female in pop for multiple years, with a 3-year string of #1 hits, and the second artist in history to occupy the entire Hot 100 top 3... while at the same time expanding a business empire and achieving a net worth of $250 million before the age of 30... is "wasting her imperial years"?

niiall Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) Wasted is too strong of a word but i don't see how you can look at a 50+% drop from TUN to positions first week and think Ariana fully capitalized on her potential success at her peak It doesn't mean that positions wasn't successful in its own right, just that it could have been much more if she wanted it to be.

Taste of Honey Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I’ve always thought if she put just a slight bit more effort and care into curating her art and taking risks it could’ve taken her to an even higher level. But she ain’t really about that, and it’s something I’ve come to accept. She’s established herself, comfortable in her lane and it is what is.

collin Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I think she really missed the mark on a bunch of potential hits. Motive, Sweetener, Nasa, Needy, Be Alright (biggest rob EVER) and several songs on My Everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
