So is this only popular outside the US? I haven't heard it play in the states all year. I've been in Europe for a while and I haven't heard it here either.

One of them, yes. But whatever, we all know it's fraudulent.

I hope my fave can still get a #1 album at that age, it's a success no matter how you look at it.

Gayle has moved on to touring entire planets. When will Normani?

The rare instance of a song that is completely carried by payola. Usually, songs are only partially carried or boosted by payola, but this is just fraudulent.

Using 5H and Camila as your inspo? Oh it's bad for them

Generous of them to even rate this collection of trash music

Wealthy single straight New York men love them though. They're smart for moving here. Most single women I know in NY don't want children until their mid 30's or early 40's because they are focusing on their careers or growing their business. A lot of straight men don't want to wait that long.

The rest of the industry has defined views by the instant a video plays, so it makes complete sense to use the same definition. There are several other video view metrics, like 5 second views, 15 second views, 1 min views, and so on that creators and publishers have to track the duration of views per video.

Dare I say it's terrorism

Oprah didn't have a crystal ball 25 years ago to know these men would become Trump supporters in 2026 (Trump was also a Democrat at the time). Idk if people criticizing her for this have functional brains.

Most of the songs on Sucker aren't even bad, but Crash works much better as an album IMO. The highlights on Crash >>>>> Sucker (except timeless classic Need Ur Love). @OP No one cares that this flopped on the charts, this is basically what Charli has been doing for most of her career while simultaneously selling out every tour. The tour for this album is going to be insane, so even the simpletons that only like BRAT are going to leave shook.

Unfortunately the claims against his experience and background had merit and Cambridge never actually cleared him of those allegations, at least not yet. There were severe issues with his resume and the stories he told in interviews that a prestigious institution like Cambridge should have caught as red flags. He likely knew he was going to be found out, but the way the press and that racist guy hounded him made it too much to handle. It should have been handled professionally and privately. The weirdest thing about this is the lack of firsthand accounts from students as to how he was as a professor. Regardless, RIP and I hope Nathan is somehow sued by the family.

The cycle continues

Nothing will ever overshadow the negative press Gaga received during Artpop (or at least I hope no one else ever does). You know it's bad when you collab with R. K*lly and the public would rather drag you for "flopping" and getting fake vomitted on during a performance. Only the Witness to 143 timeline received a notable level of backlash (still not as bad as AP) which did end up killing her career. But unlike with AP, the discourse around these albums focused on real issues that were fair to critique IMO, just not to the extent that played out.
