But you're the same girl who used to claim that poor playlisting wasn't affecting Britney's streaming numbers. Can you pick a lie and stick to it, please?

Your last post was praising The Life Of A Showgirl: Encore and now you suddenly hate seeing a 40 year old pretend to be a teenager? Okay.

This was one of my most played songs of 2025, girls You both missed what I said. Ella Langley is not just smashing with "Choosin' Texas." She has five placements on the YE charts and another song sitting right outside of the top 100 despite only four singles being released. Yes CT is doing well on Spotify and Apple Music (and ICLYA and Be Her) but all are underperforming on radio. Her massive boost that has taken her from having big hits to having one of the biggest singles eras of all-time is from Pandora and Amazon's country playlist. We're seeing this kind of domination with Morgan Wallen, too. That's not to say that neither are popular, but they're running circles around their peers and setting all-time records thanks to their success on these playlists on top of their successes on Spotify and AM.

She's more pop than Billie and Olivia. At what point do we start looking at the market to explain why we keep getting new longevity and overall number records set every year? Taylor's IKI,IKY is the most important song of the decade as far as charts go because it's showing just how powerful radio and country music playlisting on Amazon and Pandora are. IKIIKY is popular with nobody but it has like 10+ week run in the top 2 just from being put on those playlists. Now you look at Ella's, Morgan's and Stella's placements and now you know why they're slaughtering the competition. It's the new TTH.

Because the charts are weaker and streaming has elongated the chart run of songs. It's like saying Morgan Wallen's I'm The Problem era or Ella Langley's Dandelion or Olivia Dean's The Art of Loving had more weeks on the Hot 100 than any Beyonce era. It's literally common sense, sis.

Toxic - 2,141,555 …Baby One More Time - 2,108,336

Counting only girls who debuted this century (so Britney is omitted): Beyonce* Lady Gaga Ariana Grande Taylor Swift Lana's alt-pop so she isn't eligible and Beyonce gets an asterisk since she also was in a successful group in the 90s.

Lisa literally just gave us the best solo pop bop of the year. I can't remember the last time I loved an uptempo pop girl track this much

The Ed Sheeran Endings Party happened in 2022, y'all. The party venue you girls show up to is going to be a Spirit Halloween by the time you get there 4 years late.

This is much more impressive for Macklemore. P!nk isn't even doubling the streams of a three-hit wonder from last decade. She's flopping bad

She's always been a "pick me" whose idea of feminism was tearing down women who expressed themselves differently than she did.

The irony here is clearly lost on you. This sounds more like a self-reflection than some kind of read towards SM Stans. SNSD were all capable as dancers, visuals and vocalists which is what caught them attention. But they also got a ton of praise because each member was specialized in a different area on top of being talented. Again, this is common knowledge to anyone that was around during second gen. Their business model was to break-up the members and have them all individually promote in different areas, which clearly worked. And for what it's worth, I don't have anything negative to say about LSFM. People keep criticizing them for vocal talent but it's very clear that HYBE prefers dancing idols and they all excel there. I think Eunchae should definitely take some vocal lessons, but I do think her unique, off-putting tone can really catch your ear on some songs (kinda like TWICE's Momo, though not as dramatic). Honestly, I think this is their strongest overall tour single and I'd say Ningning won this one. Hyper Line was Ningning's Wake Up, Parallel Line was Karina's Up and Winter's Spark and Aexis Line was Tornado. Complaexity is definitely I Love You But I've Got to Let You Go.

Okay, now post SKZ's Brazilian numbers in 2023 when they were at the same point in their careers as Aespa. You always love to start dragging but get so upset when I come in here and post context You have a complete misunderstanding of K-pop, as always. SNSD revolutionized group formation because they created a large group where each member had some kind of specialty focus. Hyoyeon was dance, Taeyeon was vocals, Sunny was variety, Tiffany was speaking English, etc. And they notably did it while other groups were using ghost vocalists to hide their background members or only focusing on their visuals.

The Korean and Japanese dates did poorly comparatively. It's an unfortunate situation because LSF are being used as scapegoats by ARMY for a fight against Aespa because a lot of their fans are jealous of Winter. LSFM is just kinda getting caught in the crossfire when they're doing just fine. Now, Ms. Mama, when I logged in here the other day, you had absolutely started it by trying to drag Aespa's tour numbers. I'm just popping up to remind you that Aespa is still outdoing SKZ's streaming and tour numbers at the same point in their careers. But plz feel free to post SKZ's streaming numbers across all platforms from 2017 through 2023. Then I'll go ahead and post Aespa's from 2020 through 2026.

It's been four days and I'm STILL waiting for a replay from @Pluto6

It's definitely more of a slow-burn song than an instant hit and I'm sure it'll have good recurrent streams in the next 5-10 years.

Last thing I'll say is that I hope I don't see Gaga's kid again unless SHE shares a picture or wants her child to be seen. If we really want to talk about misogyny, it's sad that she didn't get the opportunity of privacy to make her own childbirth announcement.

Surrogacy is typically a more female-lead field, so here's what it actually looks like in the U.S. for a surrogate. It's not a process where some random, disenfranchised woman is held down and forced to give birth for someone else. You literally have to apply, go through a bunch of screenings and mental health resources, prove you can take medications and live a safe lifestyle for a baby, etc. The process is incredibly heavily-regulated because there is a ton of legal footwork. https://www.circlesurrogacy.com/surrogates/surrogate-process ATRL is very gay-male-dominated and somehow I'm still shocked how little we know about female healthcare

It IS and sex work IS valid. Why do you think women are compensated when leaving marriages even when they don't hold jobs? Because we recognize that "domestic" duties like bearing children is actually work and worthy of payment. They literally ******* call it "going into labor" for a reason, sis. Do you believe organ donors, construction workers, military members, etc. shouldn't be paid for selling their physical wellbeing?

There's just nothing else that needs to be said. Beautiful summary

Literally every job has some form of risk and you trade your physical wellbeing for money. Welcome to the world. If a woman would like to act as a surrogate to earn extra money or for whatever reason she chooses, that is HER right. This isn't up for debate.

A woman is allowed to seek out surrogacy or adopt a child no matter what. A woman is allowed to use her body however she wants - including to become a surrogate for whatever reason. Any opinion denying women these reproductive rights is misogyny. Y'all literally have such weird contempt for popstars that don't know you exist that you can't even walk into a baby thread without trying to drag. It's weird

Not them reheating WDA's AND Celebrate's nachos in one MV. How do you even do that?

She was so clear that she wanted this and wanted it ASAP. I'm incredibly happy for her and I hope that she and the baby have a great life.
