Charts are being dominated by quick little hits but no one has the attention span for ballads anymore and we haven't had a major ballad TOP the charts in a long time. When is the collapse going to happen? Do we need Adele to release a power ballad and have us all crying again?

Beautiful Things smashed a few months ago. There is always a power ballad high on the charts at any point but please no overkill like 10 years ago

I need another

I Listen to it at least once a week since it got released. It's top 10 of my all time favorites 

hopefully never 

Anything but that one British guy wailing about Before You Go or Moaning 

And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved 

 

Swear if I hear that one more time I'm gonna Fight

It's not a ballad, it's a snoozefect, Rebecca

I don't think there are many artists in mainstream music that can deliver a good ballad nowadays. Maybe Ariana but that's about it.

I was not expecting to see a Lucie Silvas song posted on here. Don't Look Back, Forget Me Not, Breathe In, Twisting the Chain and What You're Made Of are such brilliant songs. 
 

I'd love for songs like this to make a comeback: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kelly tried to make them happen again last year but you b*tches let her flop…

 for shame!!

in order to make a great comeback we need more singers back. most ballads we know & love are by vocalists.

Hopefully never

We need synths and 4 note diary entries songs to vanish first. 

Ed Sheeran is due for a album soon I'm sure 

Multiple ballads have been major hits in recent memory, they just aren't the heavily produced huge 90s pop type. Massive power ballads like Celine and Mariah did are out. People seemingly want ballads more down-to-earth.

What Was I Made For was pretty big last year. Olivia has potential to turn ballads into hits too

Ballads never left, they just transformed. If you are expecting a 90s power ballad on the radio in 2024 then I don't know what to tell ya.

Rock, R&B and Country ballads are welcome.

 

the other **** is corny mostly.
