Trent W

Yeah, they would have to could only one sale per person, Taylor sales would be cut by a lot But idk I feel like she has gamed the charts so much the last few years that she destroyed their reputation Having a #1 or a top 10 doesn't mean anything anymore Like if we go back to 2015-16 it was such a big deal

I didn't suggest they change the rules, I said they are gonna be forced to change them Because in 2026 no one takes the hot 100 seriously anymore, even stans only care about spotify total streams now

Ms Xtina you are very smart, the only way you can be relevant in 2026 is by being a troll in an aging internet forum Congrats for being more relevant than Britney in atrl.net

If Im honest and I say this as a former fan of some of her work I don't think even releasing good music next year would save her People are repulsed currently by her existence because she has over saturated the market so much and with so much crap that people get annoyed just by hearing name I honestly say this, she can release a Folklore level album next year and people are gonna jump on her, she has a reputation problem now and also a bad music problem Tbh releasing her next album in 2030 would smash and make people miss her

Honestly Taylor and BTS are like a parasites consuming their reputation Every time they release people take Billboard less seriously

Disappearing for a while would help and not make this look so ridiculous Like going away for 4-5 years is the only right move for her

Beyonce has gone through these periods of hate trains several times, I do think last year was the most aggressive I've seen and it was pure misogyny She was basically shamed for the Diddy thing while she was a teenager in that period People are just stupid in a whole other level now I do think 2026 has been more calm and the hate train is over Her next album will probably be huge and she'll be in a more positive light

Idk I feel like she's making all these records irrelevant This is like watching someone run a race and we all know they are cheating and they are gonna win anyway. She's making Billboard irrelevant and I feel like they are gonna change the rules soon, because fanbases like swifties and the bts army stans are making the charts pointless, boring and not a true reflection of what's really popular with the general population. Billboard either changes everything or sinks to become a fan-driven voted award chart

The #1 debuts have become like one of those fan voted awards It doesn't mean much anymore

She has always been meh But the last week I've heard non-stop how bad she is and imo is just her association with Taylor atm Like people are being overly negative if Im honest Everyone loved her not so long ago for exposing Ellen

The new generation of trolls is so stupid You can't even fight back because they are so dumb I rather argue with a dog barking tbh

He looks normal and actually fine honestly Most guys in their late 30s look like this too unless they are going through diets or workout a lot

This song is massive as in massive for years I think some of you need to understand that the pop stars we follow here are niche now there is a world of music out there

I am so excited about this, getting new material from her prime is insane

Lover is miles better, just because of the few tracks that are good, but still a very weak project

Completely disagree An artist's job is to express themselves, not appeal or reclute more fans or people, that already contaminates the intention Again you are doubling down her intention, releasing that much tracks is only for commercial purposes That is why so many people hate the album

A classic Can't believe this outlived all her hits I remember it was weird to like this song when it came out, always felt like a guilty pleasure

It was a very promising project with some great tracks My main observation is that she could've really made it one of her best projects if she didn't bloat the album for commercial and streaming purposes. A curated 12 album track with 2-3 deluxe could've reached Folklmore levels ngl, the project already has 7-8 great tracks This is why either you make music for art or commercial purposes, TTPD is the perfect example

There is nothing wrong in not wanting to get into politics Eventually deep down everyone has feelings about it but you don't have to get into a topic you are not informed about Bono seems to be looking for attention tho, because of the timing of this

She's too messy, I think she can have another string of hits and a hit album but her auto-destructive nature will put her back in the same place right after somehow

True, but in a few years people are gonna find a reason to come for her, it already happened to Billie The millennial pop stars closed their mouth in Trump's second term because they all already went through it They might just do stuff behind the scences But the internet crowd is insantiable and insufferable I understand why they just skip the drama now

Honestly being a chronically online social warrior is such a liability You will be held in such an insane moral standard They all eventually fall down

I paid for suno and yes the quality has been on par with human for a while, its impossible to detect now But I only listen to some ai tracks I generated , I can't tolerate it for too long I would never stream another person's AI music or AI artists Ai music is like farts, you can only tolerate your own. Human artists are 100% safe, there is literally no reason for someone to become huge by generating music with AI

I think she will deliver She has to be aware of what is going on She should just hire new producers and create a new story, she doesn't have to sing about her life, it might be very fresh, a lot of artists don't expose all their personal details in their art

How else do you want me to explain it? You put TTPD next to Ray of Light You have to make sense for people not to scream CULT CULT CULT
