Swifities are truly delusional

When Sabrina is smashing, it's Taylor's power (mind you, her last album is already forgotten) but when Billie is smashing it's autoplay!!!11

 

pathetic

Billie does have autoplay though? 

[Human Fly]

This already feels bigger than espresso. 

She went straight into her Poker Face era and leaving Just Dance in dust.

Will this help push Espresso to number 1?

Not yet, the gap is too big, and at current rate… in a couple weeks PPP might be the one blocking Espresso

now that the Swifties have built her up, they're gonna wait for the perfect time to knock her down, poor girl 

 

I still remember the "Great to see another Swiftie smashing" when Olivia was slaying in 2021. "Taylor's influence", "Taylor's kids", when Olivia and that Connor guy were stanning Taylor, etc  

 

Then they switched

It's funny how most people don't like it (even if some people here are switching now that she is smashing) but it's huge. It just shows how you can smash based on hype alone.

I don't think it's hype, I just think there's a difference between stan twitter's pop preference and the GP's. 
 

It's a Jack Antonoff-produced song with ABBA and country influences. That unsurprisingly doesn't play well on ATRL, but it does on TikTok and with Sabrina's core demographic. 

[Broken]

I was surprised to see the mixed reception for this one... and then I wasn't.

Further proof of a deep generational chasm that divides ATRL into two camps; the twentysomething pop sophisticates with 15 to 20 years of top-shelf pop consumption to their name, and an unruly kid crew with Wednesday avatars and tributes to Harry Styles in their signatures. It's not that the latter generation is a lost cause entirely, but they've clearly never heard a "Sabrina" that is, they've never encountered a voice quite as distinctive as Sabrina's. "But I know Sabrina! Singular: Act II was the first album I bought!" First off, ask for a refund. And no, you don't know Sabrina, you know a very stilted and subdued version of the iconic singer.

The Sabrina of "Please Please Please" is Sabrina as Sabrina is intended to sound. She very skillfully vacillates between a range of tones; she nasally, then guttural, then grainy, then nasally again, then delicate. (And yes, that's how she's supposed to do it.) She's sultry. She's goofy. She's sounds slightly absurd. She's fully engaged. She's expressive in ways that "technically superior" vocalists just aren't. She is brilliant. You have no idea how brilliant she is.

This is the probably purest attempt Sabrina has made to harness some of that ineffable charm that made her early work so irresistible. I adore it.

Keep ABBA out your mouth. Seriously.

Apologies, just listened to the song and can definitely hear the ABBA influence (during the intro only, all bets are off as soon as she starts singing) 

[Alex]

damn she really got the GP together. iktr!
