They didn't want to overload Spotify's servers.

the homo in you probably wants to wear that shirt and the shorts

Girl EUTHANASIA!? Its Synesthesia I'm SCREAMINGGG!

Really solid and beautiful monologue Also using the same platform that was cracking jokes about Gaza 6 months ago, that's king ****

Unfortunately, it's pretty common for physicals to not have the full tracklist nowadays, BUT this should have been made clear when preordering.

Breaking my ATRL hiatus to say that literally everything about this album is sublime — the vocals, the songwriting, the storytelling, the production, the concept, the message, the VOCALS… also, I know people didn't love the messaging behind her Jolene rendition, and I get that, but in the context of the album, which draws heavily from outlaw country in parts, it actually doesn't come across as super serious at at all. Between the groundbreaking success and the acclaim, this has to be one of the most unprecedented runs in music history. So glad to have stanned this woman for as long as I can remember. This is the finest work in her groundbreaking 27 year long career — a culmination of all her artistry —and deserves all the accolades it can possibly get.

Horrible, barbaric - I hope against the odds that these poor men are able to have their sentences reduced to jail or at least a less medieval form of execution. There's no defending this. Now onto the madness in this thread - I'll ignore the fact that the fact that the Biden-Houthis parallel is obviously ridiculous, let's take it at face value. People don't necessarily take issue with acknowledging when individual Houthi or Hamas actions might align with Palestinian interests - they take issue with the glorification, whitewashing, and heroising of the Houthis/Hamas when this foul **** is their actual reality. Yemen Yemen make us proud, glorifying Hamas violence, wearing their iconography, rampant Islamism apologia. Y'all ran in here just itching to do apologia as opposed to actually using your heads to think about our fellow gay men who are being brutalised by this regime. An American leftist reluctantly voting for Joe Biden on one day is in no way the same as a leftist consistently lionising Islamist groups, attempting to launder their image, and do apologia for their actions. Yall can try and pretend this is not happening in Western leftist spaces at the moment, but you are lying to yourselves. The language of "Decolonisation" is consistently being used to reframe the violence of these groups away from what it actually is - which is angry right wing religious ideologues enacting their will.

YOU are the missing tracks baby

me when i got my pink friday 2 vinyl and it only had 10 out of 23 tracks

Ryuichi Sakamoto passed away last year...

Back to making Havana part 8

I was told the houthis were peace liberators by certain streamers recently?

Couple of things… What is happening in Palestine IS genocide and the West is actively contributing to it. Hamas is a resistance movement against an illegal occupation but that doesn't make them "the good guys”… they aren't. The Middle East remains an absolute hellhole for queer people, women and other minorities and we should be able to engage in good faith criticism of these atrocities without resorting to whataboutisms… these 9 men deserve better than that. The appalling treatment of queer people in Muslim majority countries shouldn't be weaponised to justify an on-going mass slaughter in Gaza.

Can't wait to be preached at about how aiding Netanyahu's far right government is necessary, and "Trump will be worse," and "you just want vulnerable people to die," and-

Oh wow, some ATRLers finally found a job

i dont think it was intentional he's just being proud of his daughter

Camila officially becomes the first artist to BOMB with dance-pop, latin-pop, ballads, disco-pop, trap-pop, and hyperpop. Congratulations to the singer and her fans!

Laziness, unprofessionalism, alcoholism. No ammount of bots and Saudi money can make up for the fact that he had to be fed lines through an earphone during the last Pirates shoot. He is OVER.

well she's actually one of the few mainstream pop girls who openly called for a ceasefire on gaza. that is way deeper than any of the girls you metioned having real values>being a poser like some other "i'm so deep and poetic" singers

(her ducks aren't in a row)

So when no one's listening to music you mean?

We are the credits

Came to comment that. Is she asking for Lizzo to die?

Queen of Rap continues to break records and extend her legacy

and still no ass pics

It's wild that this has the highest streaming debut for a female outside of Taylor, and people are STILL downplaying her, as always!

@Mel. can we keep the YouTube achievement posts at a more sensible level? Like maybe one every third page or so. Two on the same page is definitely way too much considering no one cares

Every time Mel posts a chart update, I learn about a new chart I didn't know existed.

Organized religion is a cult.

Please tell me their source isn't this thread again Because istg if y'all fake insiders info starts spreading outside of this thread we might actually have to start bullying y'all

This. I don't want to see this become a regular music industry practice now Seems like a way to rush the process or cut costs by pressing fewer LPs (in the case of PF2). It's not the end of the world over 4 songs (though Spaghetti and Ya Ya are kind of the best songs on the album…) but this is not a great story for Bey. I don't think it became a bigger story for Nicki because her fans are used to being harassed, abused, and taken advantage of in worse ways. Plus no one likes her fans.

He's a rapist. He's a woman beater. He's a psychopath. He's a pathological liar. He's an alcoholic. He's a drug addict. He is old and decrepit.

This being a "recommended post" lmao...Lord you just ******* refuse to get it. We've been through this 1000000 times in the mega thread already and you're still repeating the same stupid talking point. How many times does it have to be said that nobody is whitewashing the Houthis crimes or thinking they're good guys? They're just the only ally and the only group to take action against Israel in the area. Resistance is violent. Decolonization always comes with horrific violence. History has shown us over and over again that occupiers do not peacefully leave occupied people and their lands. Every single oppressed group in history has fought and violently resisted their oppressor. No matter what Palestinians do, there will always be people like you and other Westerners here who claim that they support a Free Palestine, but still stand in the way of their liberation because..."well I don't like the way they're resisting their occupier!!". All of your "I just want peace" crap is utterly useless. You simply don't get to dictate the terms of their freedom. Let them protest Hamas once Palestine is free. Whatever, hope the Houthis block more ships. We'll be cheering!

you are disgusting

Not you comparing the alleged harm Donald Trump proposes to Americans to the harm Bibi Netanyahu proposes to Palestinians. The realities that Palestinians live under reveal the kind of privilege & comfort even the most marginalized American would live under Trump. Which is why the same users trying to make discussions of homophobia in the Middle East a referendum on Palestine are racist, Western chauvinists. Cause why would you ever want to link the two? Why would you link something where Yemen has clear, objective moral clarity like trying to stop arms from reaching Israel with.. homophobia? You're just going to weaken the argument *against* homophobia (you know who else links the two? Conservative religious leaders.) Anyone who makes a discussion about homophobia in Yemen about Palestine doesn't care about gay Yemeni men being killed. They care about killing more Palestinians. You're not going to win over anyone going "yes, genocide is bad, but at least Israel doesn't--" There's no moral argument you can somehow make where Donald Trump is some omnipotent force of evil but the below is not: Graphic image:

I got something he can lick

i sent them an angry email

There are probably 1000 people who needs to be credited, give them time.....

she's afraid of the Kelis

Saph, sis... 👀

Letting track record decide who you root for is actually pretty sad!

Why do you care. their opinion is irrelevant. people get judged and advised every day, just ignore and live the way u wanna live.

Gurl, the physical and mental suffering while dying. My biggest fear

Not the "I got pounded in Tel Aviv, so I'm fine with genocide actually" girlies trying to feign moral superiority

"I have a problem with belittling Israelis' experiences but watch me belittle 40,000 Palestinians bombed to death by saying they're unreliable Hamas numbers"

my God you're so full of ****

The most important artist of our times. There was The Beatles, then there was Michael Jackson, and now there is Beyoncé.

they'll give it to some random mediocre album like Harry's House again
