She keep reheating stale nachos.

I can believe where she was coming from sort of... "Green Light", despite not being a Rich Harrison track, does share some DNA with "1 Thing". They could be second cousins once removed. "Suga Mama" and "Freakum Dress" are also Rich masterpieces and not far off. I think the error here is her not realizing that, despite Amerie and Rich Harrison going way back, "1 Thing" itself is arguably derivative of the solo Beyoncé aesthetic and sound.

Always my fav member

I don't really see the copycat

Who could have possibly called Die With a Smile a faux hit? That's one of the biggest songs of the decade.

It baffles me that this songwriting and producing seems to be the only artistic medium that people can't wrap their heads around credit and collaboration. A demo is an unfinished idea. Many times these leak (...are stolen) and cause logic to be lost that it's an unfinished product because of lack of education. A song is not complete until it's released - any version up until that point is a sketch in various stages of incompletion.

While literally knowing nothing how embarrassing Every story told about working with this woman is centered around how she completely transformed the record. She's the standard for a reason. A complete visionary whose skills as a producer and composer (let alone performer and what she can achieve and improvise with her instrument alone!) are lauded industry-wide. Not everyone has that to their credit!

Almost half of the top 40 (19 songs!) are either Taylor Swift or KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack. Not an exaggeration to say the charts are currently a bit skewed.

A masterpiece!

Comparing pure sale to stream longevity is not apples to apples, though. There's a reason all of the streaming-era albums are disproportionately at the top.

Came for "Kiss It Better" and wasn't disappointed. Best song in Rihanna's discography and the kind of quality record that even some legends and music industry staples have not managed to produce.

Came to share this. Criminally underrated as a body work and her best album since Emancipation.

Did no one take the five seconds to look up Reform and what the gala was supporting? It's actually extremely impactful to have representation there from the current administration there… and I'd imagine necessary to accomplish what they strive for. Otherwise it's just crossing fingers and hoping for a Democratic win in 2028…

With I Am... Sasha Fierce. He was arguably a bigger act in 2006/7, but then he took a 7 year break between FutureSex/LoveSounds and The 20/20 Experience. She passed him during that time and never looked back.

The best single of her career.

Came in to say Caution tbh

So... using a DV incident from 2008, with a black woman, to justify not supporting (primarily) black women... as 7 of the 11 names you mentioned are black women, including the victim of the incident, despite Chris Brown collaborating in some capacity with probably a hundred creatives since the incident. Groundbreaking. Meanwhile one glance at your last.fm shows (under an all white all-time top 10) The Beatles at #12, when John Lennon was known for violence against women and children. So will you be applying this same "avoidance" to John Lennon and all artists that collaborated or have supported them? I am very curious to know :)

Doja did 72k last project with 6k coming from physical. The physical number will definitely be bigger this time since there's a proper campaign, and I think the streaming numbers could be bigger as well since it's a more commercial project. Just depends on whether or not Kanye ends up dropping same day and what that looks like.

Deflecting a bit here, but okay sure let's talk about it. The Fame Monster had seven global singles. Four from The Fame (Just Dance, Poker Face, LoveGame, Paparazzi), and three from The Fame Monster (Bad Romance, Telephone, Alejandro) B'Day had four global singles: Deja Vu, Ring The Alarm, Irreplaceable + Beautiful Liar off the deluxe IASF had three double A-side singles following the project's dual album concept: 1) If I Were A Boy/Single Ladies, 2) Halo/Diva, 3) Sweet Dreams/Ego. Video Phone was then released to kick off the deluxe because of the Lady Gaga remix. For all of the albums you mentioned there were some markets that ran with one-off singles locally (Get Me Bodied, Green Light, Broken-Hearted Girl, Why Don't You Love Me, Eh, Eh Nothing Else I Can Say, Dance In The Dark), but a market-exclusive radio release is hardly worth counting.
