[K$Ellie]

Not sure if 5SOS's album is worth checking out, the title track is cute though

I can't remember the Aly & AJ song, I should probably listen to it again soon

Make Me Feel finally leaving the top 5  Nicki being a bubbling under flop nn

Delicate and Say Amen falling  hopefully Panic rebound because of the album

Delicate only needs 5 more weeks tho  Get Out retiring  Solo down

Good Love's lead on the most played chart  Omg mess @ Sway falling off already

Animal is the better song but Spaceship is the better closer
Yikes!

Haven't heard yet but I was looking in the thread and it seems like ATRL loves it  I doubt Say Amen will touch my btm 3
And now both are gone
I was the same way, I already played it a ton in 2017 so it's fine.
I saw her last year but it was at this standalone show days before the Rainbow Tour with an older + shorter setlist, plus she only sang 1 new song.  It was way better seeing her with an actual stage and plenty of other improvements.

Bloom is still in the spotlight  When DTT gets an upgrade then it'll get some well deserved love!
Kiii  I gave their albums a cute amount of scrobbles (for my standards) and then lowkey dropped them
Sis already lost the #1, whoops! I can see it staying pretty stable for a while though.
Only 2  But it could've easily gotten at least 5 back then.

I suppose that makes sense

Yeah the reception seems to be pretty good and they're selling really well

Well I'm glad Boo'd Up is out but MJ was robbed

I'm glad you enjoyed it  I feel like I wouldn't be able to get used to the rock versions of all her old songs

He's probably gonna leech off Ariana just like Nicki so I expect it to be the next single

Poor them, I can't blame you though since their albums don't have a huge amount of standouts

Welp, at least she got 3 #1s this era  hopefully 4 if there's a 5th single

[Diet Pepsi]

Bloom falling just outside the top 5his best song

Say Amen is cute while High Hopes is gorgeous and you know gorgeous is gonna devour cute 

Fall In Line debuting 

Really hope Delicate makes it to the retirement home 

Growing Pains is so goodBed is okay too

Aly & AJ their power 

[Green]

15/20 Youngblood jumping to the top 5  Their album is really good.

[Konril]

Aly & AJ getting those #1 with ease.

I actually kinda dig Young Blood.

This Is America kinda got old fast for me. :/

[Pinkoverblue]

11/20

 

 

Chvrches retiring  

 

Aly & AJ back at their #1 spot! 

[T.O.A.D.S.]

Not both of Nicki’s new singles bubbling under!!  Rich Sex is a nasty BOP and Bed is cute (a lil boring though) both songs need to enter the top 20 eventually 

 

Make Me Feel is finally on its way out  

Delicate is still here. LordT

FIL debuting  It's grown on me so much
Youngblood is noT as good as Want You Back  
Wow, you really like 5SOS's album, huh? Maybe I'll listen to it sometime, but my ears are kind of full with so sad so sexy and Expectations
Oh wow, Aly & AJ with Take Me and I Know both being #1 hits  

Welp your chart canceled  
I'm gonna stan ha ass again if she makes the next single anything but I Did Something Bad  

Not to the GP it wasn't, but okay
I don't know if I'd take it that far, but maybe if it was a really good song  

Same for me. I didn't even think it was worth downloading at first, now it's in my Liberation top 5.
I actually agree, despite YB already having the higher peak
It's pretty great  Their 2nd best release behind their debut.
We love legends

Sis lasted 4 months in the top 5 so I don't think so!
IDSB is the 2nd best song from rep though  But yeah, I think it's too late for that now. Or at least for single #5. It could possibly be a decent pick for single #6?

Well apparently a music video is on the way so we'll see  Bloom is still the main single so they need to giver DTT an upgrade and push iT hard.

5SOS their revival  the album was cute, it's what they deserve. I prefer their others but it was quite accomplished
Focus getting knocked off of #1 and Make Me Feel starting to collapse though
was Betty's album actually that good? She got ended on r/popheads

Hmm I'd say better than cute  5SOS > my top 5 from SGFG > Youngblood > SGFG in whole

Focus should have some solid longevity, and Make Me Feel lasted 4 months in the top 5

It's just an EP with two new songs but it's definitely solid. Just Thought You Should Know is possibly her best song, really. Welp at their taste!

On 6/24/2018 at 5:34 AM, TheWayWeWere said:

Good Love is pretty amazing I pray for album this time
FIL debuts   she actually has much better single choices, but it's still great song
Nicki struggling to debut in top 20

Right tho  Unfortunately it won't be, they confirmed it's gonna be another EP. I'm kinda fine with it.
Yep, I agree with that. Really hope she puts out Right Moves or Like I Do, both definitely have potential.

She's really not serving much this era  A bit disappointing.

Don't know if you were a fan of their pop-rock sound but Youngblood definitely goes more towards the pop side. I'd say the title track is a good representation of the album.
Wow  Yes, you should! Preferably on a streaming service so they can eat dinner.
0/4 singles debuting, 4/4 singles only appearing on deck  I didn't expect her to flop for me this era.
Both rebounded a ton  Delicate definitely has retirement on lock now, I wasn't really sure weeks ago.
I knew sis wouldn't last too long but I was over it after 2 wks  Also I still have no idea if it's even a single, I just assumed.

Yeah the album was great  Possibly rounding out their discography's trinity, though it's nearly on par with DOAB.
MJ is cute but it's not in my top 5 from the album. If one of my faves was the single, they'd likely still be on here.
I'd say most of the rock versions sound nice, there's 1 or 2 that could've been better but I didn't mind the changes at all. I'd actually like to hear some in studio quality.
Apparently a video is on the way so it looks like that could be the case  Though a video doesn't always confirm that.
I'd be surprised if she didn't put out a 5th single, but I'm not sure about #6.

His best?  I think I'd probably put it around #11-15.
High Hopes is really cute (and a grower) while Say Amen is quite attractive
A few weeks ago I wouldn't have been sure, but now I think she has it on locK.
Meh, it's nothing really new for her at all. Not a bad song, though.

Truly effortless
As you should
I've never really loved it or anything, but it's mainly survived because weaker songs have been leaving before ha. Plus there's especially a lack of debuts this week.

Neither are really top 20 worthy  Or at least not yet? Nicki really isn't serving it this era, which is ironic since her album is called Queen. 0/4 singles have debuted, welp!

On its way out because it's about to retire? Yeah
I'm not seeing the issue
I'm surprised you didn't come for Aly & AJ in this post 

[JGibson]

[TheWayWeWere]

Good Love still on top

Say Amen jumps in top 3 it's actually good, even tho I'm not a fan of them

[potent]

TDCC and BORNS there, but where are their best songs  (Something Good Can Work and American Money)

[K$Ellie]

Focus stable and Say Amen getting a huge boost with the album release  Hey Look Ma being the most played

Definitely in my trinity w/ High Hopes and King Of The Clouds  and slay at them getting AOTW, v deserved

Delicate jumping back into the top 10  Let You Be Right rising too  the capitalization is so ugly though

No Angel on the most played chart, such a bop  Gwen on the artist chart  she has so many incredible songs

Cute how Make Me Feel originally got 1 week at #1 but then returned for 4 more  that and Delicate are my faves

Dirty Computer having the most weeks at #1  Somewhere In Between, 1989, TMYLM and Rainbow

I only heard a couple of their sings and wasn't a fan

It's ok but didn't stand out, I Know outsold

Hot 100 teas wow  she's got another flop incoming (Ganja Burn)

Slay @ her pulling through  Delicate is excellent, one of the best on the album

Wiki says it but but it didn't even chart in Sweden

Are the newest 3 their trinity? Pretty Odd is the only I haven't heard so far, I'll probs get around to it sometime soon

The album didn't have that many standouts tbh, I bumped it down and its only #9 on my album list this year

It's definitely a single at this point, it's being sent to radio and was put on TTH
