Be truthful: Why did End Game really flop?
It’s one of those rare songs that sounds like a surefire smash on paper but the actual result is tacky and cringey.

This is absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. I hope UK tabloids make a huge deal around this event.

Bigger & better: As It Was vs We Belong Together
We Belong Together was only huge in the US, and only because of radio. In actual sales, it sold the same or less than way “lesser” hits (Hung Up, which peaked at #7 in the Hot 100, sold more digital sales). As It Was was (and still is) a complete monster in streaming, sales and radio. And it is actually a global #1 smash everywhere.

Why is Mariah the biggest legend of the 90s?
She is not. Céline is, and the GP agrees.

Bad Bunny kisses guy during tour/VMA performance
Harry actually kissed James Corden for like 5 seconds on Live TV.

Nicki Minaj - "Super Freaky Girl"
This song is “meh” for me. The beat is good, the chorus is catchy, but the lyrics are too vulgar and unclassy for my taste. 6.5/10

What can make an artist have a solid fan base -huge or small-
For females: They are perceived as “authentic artists” rather than mere pop stars. (Adele, Taylor, Beyoncé) Or they are perceived as gay icons/sex-symbols with mild controversies here and there ( Britney Gaga, Kylie) For males: They do “serious”, authentic, inspiring music, and they compose their songs (Ed Sheeran, The Weeknd, Harry Styles) They are promoted sweet, sexy, heartthrobs (Bieber, BTS, Shawn Mendes)

Songs that flopped but were hits in your country.
Everything and I mean EVERYTHING released by Hilary Duff became a hit in Mexico between 2003-2008. A-Teens were huge in Mexico. Many (uncultured) millennials here still think Mamma Mia, Super Trouper and Dancing Queen are A-Teens songs. For some strange reason Alizeé was huge here as well (and nobody speaks french in Mexico), especially with “J’en Ai Marre” and “Mademoiselle Juliette”

Beyoncé - "BREAK MY SOUL"
This is good and inspiring but a tad boring. The song sounds unfinished. This will 100% flop, but I must admit that Bey was brave for doing a full 180º and releasing a house song.

Ava Max’s lead single massively tanked, why?
95% of the GP doesn’t even know this song exists (or Ava for that matter). Ava needs to promote and keep promoting, she thinks she’s a MPG, when in reality she’s C-lister at best.

The most successful droplet of all time?
Vogue; it was actually created as a B-side for some Madonna random single, but when they saw how good the song was, they released it as a single. Then, they added to the I’m Breathless soundtrack, even when the song isn’t featured in the film.

Adele: What went wrong?
She just didn’t care at all for the era. She only promoted Easy On Me 2 times, released those 2 special concerts before album release, and called it a day.

Ava Max - "Maybe You’re the Problem"
This is pop perfection, the chorus is such an earworm. This deserves to smash. If this was Dua’s lead single, it would be #1 everywhere already.

Lizzo - "About Damn Time"
Now, this is what I call a BOP. Lizzo really delivered with this.
