yamiyuuuu

Charli XCX?

Germany being on the right side of history for once

I love them since I was a child and I finally saw them live for the first time last year. Legends! PS: Justice for Long Night

I've always felt that Zara Larsson has a similar tone to Rihanna, but in Lush Life I feel like she's even trying out her accent. I also feel that Raye in You Don't Know Me imitates her singing style.

How does he achieve such huge debuts? Idgi

What a bop, it deserved waaay better

I love the sound of that era, Jermaine Dupri and Kanye's productions were soooo good

Emancipation had the highest first-week sales of any Mariah album and didn't drop below 100k even before WBT started smashing OT: Anti by Rihanna, I'm Not Dead by P!nk, Happier Than Ever by Billie Eilish

I had no idea the album tracks were doing that good!

For Rih, the messy rollout before Anti. I love BBHM, but 45S and American Oxygen are a mess and not representative of her at all, I'm glad she didn't add them to the album. Now Mariah... she has so many, but the worst was when she had that messy lady as her manager and that reality show, that was sooooo cheap for a legend like her.

Ugh, Mariah the Scientist at #11, so close to the top 10

Jamelia's Beware of the dog outsold

Well deserved, such a good album

Not a pre-meltdown The album is not even out for another month yet The specific chart predictions too Never change ATRL

Paloma Faith, I love her since her debut single, then she became big in the UK but I never thought that Only Love Can Hurt Like This would become this huge viral hit, especially so many years later

If I remember correctly this was the original song but she ditched it and released Hello B*tches instead (and thank god because what is this mess )

An underperformance, but I agree it has decent recurrent streams

What makes me like it less than Dawn FM is precisely that it has too many songs. If it had 5 or 6 songs less, I would reconsider.

Girl On Fire by miss Alicia Keys. The fact that she performed it in every imaginable place and butchered it every time didn't help her case.

And only 5 of those 20 weeks were in the top 40, is that a hit?

Why did I just find out about this album? I listened to it on my way to work and I liked it but nothing really stood out. I liked it better than the previous one, so that's a win I guess.

I don't think it would make a difference to the album. The song on, on the other hand... why perform a song at the Grammys and release it like two weeks later?

Way better than I expected for a deluxe tbh

I think Bruno generally makes music for a wider audience than Abel. Of course Abel has Blinding Lights and other more GP-friendly songs, but his discography is not as accessible as Bruno's. On the other hand, I feel like Abel has a bigger and more dedicated fanbase, so that will benefit him in the long run. In short, I think they are pretty evenly matched in terms of success but have quite different career paths.
