see this is why i started listening to pop music all the time

did have an idea of like a 60s/70s other girls - laura nyro, judee sill, minnie riperton, margo guryan, nico (if ATRL doesn't find out too much about her), maybe someone else - but i'm just looking at it and it's bombing right there in the post, i'll be quiet

Oh, we will be panning miss Nikkko.

Nico's discography is incredible but she won't end up in any line up anytime soon that's for sure

And Nico Kirk?

Okaayyy since the Faye rate got some attention I will share more ideas.

Song selection might be sound based (Dream Pop, Ballads, Rock, Dance, Trip Hop, Others). I think trying to cover every album equally would result with a lot of early stuff that ngaf in the rate over late career gags.

I might able to host on November if the rate gets approved

But if you want to rate Michelle/Kelly/LeToya albums together, SURE!

Is this not moderator approval? I don't see it in the queue

Are you prepared for when Kelly and Letoya are the whole top 20 and Michelle gets punched out early.

We Break the Dawn was a moderate hit in the Ladies of the 000s rate

Has anyone ever done The International Spice Girls? I'd like to dive into some girl groups from around the world

What's your requirements for girl groups? Is it enough for them to be just girl groups? Do they need to be as successful as Spice Girls for the country they represent? Do you plan on having one girl group represent each country? If so, how many songs for each girl group for their representation?

Oh that is FANTASTIC. Do you want to go ultra pop as well? (Helen Reddy, hear me roar!) I could hand the reigns to you!

So, no counting the American or British girl groups? @stochastic, would you like to host alongside @OrbitNumber1?

@Graffiti, we heard your concerns and we made changes to address them. Enough with the passive aggression.

I have a request. Is it possible for this thread's category to be changed from official to rate? Since this is pinned at the top of base, I click on that to filter all the rate threads. Would deeply appreciate it if it can be changed.

Please reply to my inquiry in the other thread when you have a chance, thank you.

Someone else would have to help me set the songs for her, the only thing I know about Helen reddy is that my friend sung "I don't know how to love him" for a school audience when she was about 12 and got a big laugh when she sung "I've had many men before" (it was a different time).

but let me dm you when I have a minute cos I can think about alternatives as well but also I have questions to ask about running one of these things, I need to figure out if I could actually manage to finish it and not crap out

Norway Bjork is so obscure that one of her albums is wrongly tagged as compilation on Spotify but at least I found out she has 5 albums instead of 4

I never hosted, so I didn't really think this through

I thought of girl groups that were super successful in their countries like JNS in Mexico, No Angels in Germany and Rouge in Brazil... those are the only ones I know tbh.

Now how do I get a multi-part video game soundtrack rate approved and people to participate...
