I have tried not to engage in this thread but I have following it. Some of the responses here have been shocking and quite frankly disgusting. It is clearly evident that Ariana is suffering and looks quite unwell right now. People forget that this woman had so much trauma within the public eye - Manchester and Mac's passing being clear examples of that. I'm wishing all the best for this well deserved break and I really hope she gets the help that she needs. She's a generational talent and a pure sweetheart who deserves the best!

I can't stand Jameela too but even a broken clock is right twice a day. Ariana is dangerously thin nowadays. She literally has no fat on her body and she lost so much muscle mass. I love her and she is such a rare talent. The title track of her new album and its video are both quite sad and unsettling.

She has killed the era commercially stone cold with this AI video. How embarrassing for her and the team involved with this mess of a video. RIP AI*SLOP era - It will be remembered as a vivid example of what NOT to do in a sophomore era. Everything post CHANEL has been a trainwreck. This video is the cherry on top and encompasses all of that.

A modern day classique. Solana at her best.

Oh no, that new video for That Girl is a complete mess, I couldn't even finish it. How was that even given the approval for release. Her team are absolutely sabotaging the poor girl.

WE ARE GETTING THE UK #1! Video streaming on YouTube and her sales lead will save the day and secure it on Friday. Just watch!

I think video streaming on YouTube and her huge sales lead on iTunes will swing the official #1 in Shakira's favour !!!

I'm quietly confident she will get #1. She's doing around 450k views on UK Youtube a day which is huge! WE STILL NEED PUSH FOR HER THOUGH! CMON UK SHAKIRA FANS, LET'S MAKE THIS HAPPEN!

Now why has brat visuals been brought in for this mess of an avi

The BUMP of this thread. Y'all are so messy, my gosh!

Gosh the numbers are TERRIBLE!

Officially #2 in the UK! I think we could get the #1 next week.

Yes, the lack of melodies and hooks is indeed crazy. The fact Kiss is the only new song with a memorable hook and she and her label are not pushing it but they are pushing the turd that Is It Love. Is It Love is a cute demo scrap, at best it's an average album track. It's not a song that should open an album like WTF? Not when IS IT is right there. The opening line of that song is opener material and underpins the concept of this album. I'm so disappointed with this lazy effort of an album and its associated campaign.

What a disappointing record. The only new songs that made an impression on me are Kiss and Mr. Nonchalant on first listen. The odd tracklist (why is IS IT LOVE the opener?), lack of identity within this record and the boring mid tempos. Fairytale is the one of the worst songs I have ever heard to be honest. It feels like Tyla just doesn't have the drive to want to be a big pop star. The whole album campaign after Chanel has been a mess.

I WANT THAT UK OFFICIAL #1! PUSH UK SHAKIRA FANS PUSH!!!

The best she has ever looked to be honest. Still can't stand her. Such a horrible personality she has.

It's been lovely to see Argentina get roasted for being such a racist and quite frankly unappealing country full of weirdos and false victims. The whole world has cancelled you Argentina. Go work on your economy. Oh wait, it's beyond saving.

I am so shocked that this has reached #1 on UK Apple Music!!! Song of the summer I think. What a smash.

Very justifiable. Such an insufferable nation full of racists. A country which is built on white supremacist ideals. C'mon Spain!

The way BBHMM would have been her 15th #1 if it was released today. It was truly ahead of its time. This performance lives rent free in my mind.

Y'all are being so hard on her. This is her third performance in a decade of course the girl will be a bit rusty. One thing we love about Rih is her authenticity. She looked so good in her outfit. 2027 is our year Navy .

She's coming back! OMG! I'm actually convinced. My navy avi cap is back on!

Both of these songs are big classic pop hits that defined the summers they were released in and launched the careers of Katy and Sabrina into superstardom. After a couple of years, which song has aged better to you? California Gurls or Espresso?

Shakira potentially getting another UK top 10 this year was not on my bingo card. It will be her first since She Wolf in 2009! Dai Dai and its accompanying music video are really good. She deserves the success with this track.

She's coming!!! *giggles hysterically*
