Why was Katy heavily criticized for renting rappers but not Justin Bieber?
Damn, we're losing the ancient texts if today's Kats don't even know the rent-a-rapper drags. This right now is just pure historic rundown, not my personal opinion on the matter: A big part of the music industry was quite unimpressed by Katy continuously remixing Teenage Dream singles with rap verses in order to give the songs their final push to go #1. When she announced a remix of "The One That Got Away" with B.o.B. and then Acoustic Version, multiple media outlets ran stories on her marketing practices (discounting songs on iTunes to 69 cents and dropping remixes) and gave voice to the industry people criticizing her "cheap #1's". Billboard had to make a public statement, defending their choice to include remix sales into their formular because of the backlash (As you can see in this archived article: https://web.archive.org/web/20121031101914/https://www.billboard.com/column/chartbeat/ask-billboard-are-chart-rule-changes-needed-1005695952.story#/column/chartbeat/ask-billboard-are-chart-rule-changes-needed-1005695952.story) In the end, the lashings died down because TOTGA failed to reach #1, despite the remixes.

Netanyahu's son: "Falkland Islands belong to Argentina!", far-right Brits implode
A social media post by Yair Netanyahu asserting that the Falkland Islands belong to Argentina has provoked criticism in the United Kingdom, including from political and media figures known for supporting Israel. Several prominent voices on the British right rejected Netanyahu's position. Commentator Alex Armstrong called the remarks "unconstructive," arguing that Labour government policy should not be confused with the views of British society or the pro-Israel right. British lawmaker Rupert Lowe also responded sharply, urging Netanyahu to concentrate on Israel's own challenges. Lowe declared that "the Falklands are British and will remain so," adding that a future British government would be prepared to defend the territory militarily if necessary. The issue has recently returned to international attention amid speculation that the United States could reconsider its position on the long-running sovereignty dispute. i24NEWSYair Netanyahu’s Falklands post draws backlash from Israe...The son of the Israeli Prime Minister claimed on X that the archipelago, administered by London but claimed by Buenos Aires, belonged to Argentina

Lady Gaga
I can somewhat seperate her art from her business practices, because I think Gaga as a person generally contributes more good than bad to this planet, but like... some of y'all are a LOT defending every little thing she does as if she was an extension of yourself. I can stan Gaga and her music and still be comfortable criticizing some of her choices and not agreeing with them.

What was the exact moment you unstanned a former fave?
It's not like I actively hate or dislike her, still love her, but I never looked at Rihanna the same when Birthday Cake (Remix)/Turn Up The Music/Nobody's Business came out back to back. I still don't know where she was in her headspace, and if she looks at the collabs differently now, but I went so hard defending her from #his stanbase that I genuinely felt like I had egg on my face when she not only went back to very briefly romatically but also excessively collaborated with him.

Dolly Parton has died, aged 80
Through her foundation she managed to donate over 150 million books to children worldwide. She majorly invested into mRNA research and made the Moderna Covid vaccine possible. She invested the majority of the royalities she received from Whitney's cover of "I Will Always Love You" into a black neighbordhood in Nashville. She donated money, royalties and granted LGBTQ+ charities royalty free access to her music catalogue and showed support to the trans community by writing and donating the song "Travelin' Thru" to the picture "Transamerica" in 2006. Her liftime donations and efforts into causes that she believed would make the world a better place are well beyond 1 billion dollars. She could have been a billionaire. She chose not to be one, she chose people. She will always be the gold standard that each and every of our favs should be compared to.

Spotify starts merging total original streams with remixes
It didn't, the tracks essentially got counted double since the Remixes whose streams got merged are also on the Complete Confection tracklist and they show the same numbers as their original versions. TOTGA original (track 7) got like 350M streams from the Acoustic Version, TOTGA acoustic version (track 13) got 1,3 billion added from the original. Same for every other remixed track (E.T. & Last Friday Night).
