BAD AT LOVE BY HALSEY

What is with you and your After Laughter hatred?  The album is great just realize that already! Fake Happy is the best track, too.

New is good but I was expecting something better from the snippet. P!nk's album is pretty great I don't understand ATRL ha mixed reviews. Beautiful Trauma, Where We Go, For Now, Secrets, I Am Here are . Then add in What About Us (which grew on me) + You Get My Love and that's basically half the tracklist being standouts.

 

Oh well Hotter Than Hell is cute now so it's just the first one  Wow it's crazy to think that group somehow got more basic.

Well of course

 

Yes! I have really close connections with IceJJFish, Rebecca Black and Bhad Bhabie.

Why do I actually believe this? 

 

Oh well  Talent doesn't need to win EVERYTHING! Let the others have a shot.

It's just a bad album xx

I wasn't expecting much more than a Chainsmokers reject from the snippet

I tried some songs and it was pretty boring  A lot of albums released recently are much better

Ikr, who would have thought that a year later we'd both be haters

Omg tell Rebecca that Foolish is a bop and she needs to make more songs like that, thanks  xoxo

Great top 5  (except Aly & AJ song that I haven't heard) What About Us is a huge grower

 

Come On Eileen

You should check it out, totally an amazing comeback single with some '80s vibes  Definitely agree!

 

A classic

If PP doesn't retire

TGaG flopping it's kinda trash tbh

Wow @ 150 artists tho I barely have more than that in total on my last, let alone in a week

Don't worry, she's good

I like it but only like, not really love. That's mainly what's hurting him at the moment.

Well a lot of them only got 1 or 2 plays But wow really?  I have 879 but I've been on there since Sep 2010.

On 10/21/2017 at 11:49 PM, TheWayWeWere said:

WAU returns with new peak and Beautiful Trauma #1 on albums it's such a good work for her

Tracy's songs here I love her so much

Yes she did that  ATRL's opinion is mixed for some reason but this might be my favorite release from her? A little over half the tracklist are big standouts. I've always loved Fast Car so much, it's stunning.  I'm pretty sure my first time hearing Baby Can You Hold Me was just 2 weeks ago and that chorus HIT me. Really wasn't prepared.

On 10/22/2017 at 1:05 AM, SIMon1120 said:

Zayn already out

Demi, Jason, Sam, Niall all flopping here

 

Kesha, Dua doing fine

Charlie, Paramore, Daya coming

 

Top 2 is underwhelming, and Thunder needs to grab that #1 asap

The song is nice but for some reason it just doesn't have a hold on me.

Niall is fine  Jason needs to put out his damn 777 album/EP already. Sam will likely get solid album release impact. Demi's run has been a mess kiiiiiii, but see the Possible Future Debuts/Returns section.

 

Welp at 3/5 of those artists you mentioned  Daya won't be going too far.

 

You lyin' to yourself, and it might be too late

On 10/22/2017 at 6:08 AM, Lukey said:

Too Much To Ask falling  

He's fine  Just needed that album release impact to help him recover.

On 10/23/2017 at 7:19 AM, Arxane Sykes said:

What About Us finally grew on me. 

1/2 $ Retired the other 1/2 $ about to.

Who's that crashing? Goodbye indeed. 

Same  Hearing it within the album made it do that for me as well.

Well, Foster's bank account retired... not the song itself.

Kiiii  He'll rebound when The Thrill of It All drops though, his time isn't up yet!

On 10/23/2017 at 10:04 AM, PAD said:

Dua still peaking at #2

It's definitely too late for her to get anywhere near that spot again  Sis is lucky she even got to return weeks ago

On 10/23/2017 at 10:22 AM, Pinkoverblue said:

Lorde has to retire

 

Aly & AJ still doing amazing

She did  And of course  Still mad they can't get this kind of success on the charts that matter.

Well sis should've told us or made it more obvious, even now it's still not FULLY confirmed.  Whatever!

I decided that I'm going with... none of them!  Halsey is the "most likely" to happen but I've never been a big fan of BAL.

 

YIKES

Meh  I guess it mainly depends on how much you enjoy her mid-tempos and ballads, because it's full of them. Might even be my favorite release from ha.

Yas, one of the best clubs to be in  I agree  If only she got the memo for the rest of her EP.

 

[Unoriginal]

Fake Happy when it was so close to top 10 as well

Disco still in the T10 

Taylor with 2 songs in the T5 and RFI still my favourite of the three songs

Good debut from Taylor. Lorde retiring!!

[Konril]

I never realized ... RFI? didn't chart here but slay. 

Uh huh. LWYMMD rebounding. 

Feel It Still officially dead. 

Niall with that Top 10. He was lowkey my fave 1D boi.

Jack finally retired as well as with Lorde. 

 

Pffftt. Sammie crashing still. Hopefully the album will push it back. 

[Remmy]

I've been thinking about doing little weekly-ish side lists (especially artist-centered ones) for a bit

and decided this would be a good time to start.  Happy Halloween, girlies!

 

Top 20 SpOoOoOkY sOnGs

Edited October 31, 2017 by Green

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

Is It Scary, Ghosts and Blood on the Dance Floor should be on the scary songs list 

[Topmaster 2]

I don't like RFI? Sarry.

[K$Ellie]

...Ready For It debuting at #1 and snatching all the records  Look What You Made Me Do back in the top 5

Wow how tasteless xx Bad at Love is THAT bop, poor Strangers stans

Heart Full Of Scars was nice too but Foolish was way better than the rest

DESTINATION: TIMELINE - ALLIE X:

Paper Love [1 wk] [#01 (x1)] *1ST CHARTING SONG*

 

FUN FACT 1: Allie X breaks the Most Played Artist record (that Bleachers smashed in June) by just 9 scrobbles, and I only started listening to her last week! But with new albums from Maroon 5 and Sam Smith (plus Chris Brown because I haven't listened yet) now released, will her domination be frontloaded? Additionally, Taylor Swift and WALK THE MOON are coming thru next week - so how long can she hold this record?
FUN FACT 2: "Sorry Not Sorry" is the first song to EVER return twice! Queen of never giving up.
FUN FACT 3: "Paper Love" is the 49th track to debut at #1. On Monday or Tuesday I'll post a personally ranked list of every #1 that started out on top.

 

Most Played Songs (Continued):

15. Taylor Swift- ...Ready for It? [10]

14. Demi Lovato- Daddy Issues [10]

13. Allie X- Simon Says [10]

12. Michael Jackson- Thriller [10]

11. Allie X- All the Rage [12]

10. Allie X- Vintage [14]

09. Allie X- Paper Love [14]

08. Allie X- Old Habits Die Hard [15]

07. Allie X- Casanova [15]

06. Allie X- That's So Us [15]

FALL-OFFS: 17. Lorde- Perfect Places [20wks] [#01 (x1)] RETIRED!!! 11. Bleachers- Don't Take the $ [20wks] [#01 (x4)] RETIRED!!!

POSSIBLE FUTURE DEBUTS + RETURNS: Allie X "Casanova" [100%] Aly & AJ "I Know" [100%] Bleachers "I Miss Those Days" [35%] David Guetta ft. Charli + others "Dirty Sexy Money" [70%] EDIT: I added the 1st two later on because they were just confirmed to be official singles today.

Maybe if they'd promote it or drop a video

It's cute, already one of his better singles... kinda bored of it though. Niall rose due to album impacT.

The video is nice. Could've been better but the effects alone make it superior to a lot of others released this year.

Yeah his new album reminded me a lot of Ed  They're both nice though.

 

If you only listened to Paper Love then it's not really the best representation of her music, that's one of her most "generic" songs. Her sound is super nice + interesting though.

#7 is definitely not dead, they're doing fine The song is at 13 weeks now, it can't be top 5 forever.

The Thrill of It All was just alright so the album impact won't be as big as I was expecting. He'll rise though.

Slightly fixed  Paper Love came really hard indeed   Yep, I listened to PL last Tuesday (I think?) and then dove right into ha discography.

Kelly's album wasn't strong enough to take thaT  Allie easily dominated with CollXtion II + the 2 EPs. If all her plays were erased then Demi would've taken it, then P!nk after her. If I never listened to her and filled up ha scrobbles with others, P!nk probably would've snatched a 3rd week.

I don't think it's in my top 15 but the song great, of course.

 

Not even among the best tracks, poor delulu gorls

Wish I could remember what that song sounded like  And yeah, Foolish definitely snatched the others.

Edited November 4, 2017 by Remmy

[Unoriginal]

Both retirements I listened to DTTM (finally) and it was good tbh

Flop Happy

SNS keeps winning tho

Disco's rise

Allie's absolute domination tho

 

(CIWYW stole the best song title from RfI btw )

Edited November 3, 2017 by Unoriginal

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

Disco T!ts is coming yaas  

A lot of the songs in the top 10 seemed to have fallen this week. I want the TayTay songs to rebound
