They literally just announced a new Best Japanese album for 8/26 They're definitely gonna keep going for a few years.

This is SM's best physical release since Armageddon and Chill Kill. Aespa needs to take notes I wonder if companies get bulk production pricing so they plan comebacks closely to each other. It used to be rare, but now every company has their groups come back on top of each other.

I genuinely cannot imagine retiring at 67 years old and spending all day on a forum posting flamebait threads to tear down successful women. Either way, Britney has had more success in every country globally, but Janet is still a legend and laid the blueprint for Britney.

The insane amount of visuals they're hemorrhaging. I would be sick

Wait, the entire set from Aespa's Spicy is here This is the song that broke KARA out right before "Honey" made them a B-list group. They played in their fanbase's face by pretending like Soojin would come back. I'm not totally shocked.

Top 10, easily. A true masterpiece and such a shocking change in sound.

It'll be BOAF unless it collapses. We really need Billie to announce her new era already.

Are you saying this because zero technically isn't a number?

I couldn't care less about the awards since they're just a measure of industry connections but I would LOVE to see Aespa perform and do promo here. They have the second weakest promo push in SM history.

I accidentally gave "4 Walls" a score that is way higher than it deserves. Please use your 0 there to even it out

Almost as much as you hate artists who got solo #1s after the Clinton administration ended. OT: Blackout

This needed a post chorus with a unique melody, a reworked second verse and a final chorus with ad-libs and it could have been their best title since Queencard.

This is the tea. I wouldn't have even been on Katy so hard if her own friends weren't in court talking about how they tried to reach out to her and instead she was a jerk to them and chose Luke over them. We all gave her grace and multiple chances to leave him behind, but she came out with a faux-feminist anthem produced by him. Quick question: did you ever stop to ask yourself why the black community is notoriously slow to take rape allegations against black men seriously until they're proven? Do you think it has anything to do with America's unfair policing towards black men and our incredibly long history of black men being falsely accused? The motives are the important part. I'm sure by now you realize that our government and a lot of our affluent individuals are all involved in criminal activities, usually with a sexual devious nature. You, unfortunately, can't be in a commercial world without rubbing shoulders with bad people. You do know that this is a tabloid lie that they share about every major female artist at some point, right? They just change the artist every couple of years. Please tell me you're not that gullible.

Drop Dead is literally #30 on the YE charts and about to jump to the top 25. Please explain to me how that ISN'T a hit

Whiplash got lucky with its release date so it got an extra month of promo due to year end awards. Lemonade's promo was a mess - it got two weeks of promo and then one Japanese performance. It's performing better than any 4th gen gg song this year, so at least that's something. it's just a shame they didn't do It's Live or Killing Voice or Studio Choom or even a relay dance. I'm not criticizing them at all. Your answer would make sense if they were still doing Gocheok Sky Dome or something. It seems to be a conscientious decision to do arenas and idk if artists are doing it because it's a better atmosphere for fans or because it gives fans multiple more chances to get good seats since there are more dates, but it's kind of refreshing to see. Aespa paving the way in 2022: If we want to talk about coæsplay, didn't IlLIT just put out a hyperpop song with a taste-of-iron shuffle beat drop? It's super jumpy and bouncy. It's not a midtempo at all.
