cloudbusting

Tinashe upliftings continue with another all-kill and her 12th #1 song!

giving them some grace this week because i'm sure lining things up takes time and clearly the critical/public response was a surprise, but at the same time like... we need some help with the uplifting!

okay we've had enough organic growth, it's time to start cutting some checks and really pump things up

nothing was surviving Hurricane Adele that year, but TEOG might've at least given her another R/SOTY nomination (and maybe a stronger overdue narrative down the line resulting in Abra ROTY as it deserved)

since there are dnb flourishes on a couple of Popstar tracks, I'm gonna need Tightrope to make a return to the setlist

can't wait to stream this and her world cup collab with the weeknd on repeat

i was lowkey hoping the setlist would be a flop because i'll have to miss my date (flights got prohibitively expensive before i remembered to book mine ), but on the other hand i'm still happy for everyone who gets to be slayed by this! plus she's still getting my coins so at least there's that

if she isn't howling and growling with Brittany on Act III, I'm egging that uglyass airport she calls a house

yeah like I get people wanting her to book those major stages she absolutely deserves, but a sold out tour is way better press (and negotiating leverage for the next round!) than overextending too fast and too soon. we have great WOM and an incredible debut plus it's holding stronger than I would ever have dreamed, but now she and her team have to balance being bold and wise to make the most of it.

Cheetah rollout has been sloppier than Wonho's ass at a bathhouse, but I think it might actually be their best mini so far Free kinda needed to be a full RV song though; Irene even sounds like Yeri when she does that "you can't hold me down" in the chorus

twice as long as Christina has charted any album since Obama's second term

okay I'm super late, but apparently varied from city to city! 2/3 of my choices were instantly gone, and the 3rd was expensive ($80 for rear GA @ Red Rocks). gonna just take my chances with the general sale lmao just kinda crazy because it's not like Carly's latest album has been her own Popstar — that's what makes me nervous for when T inevitably announces the tour

Carly Rae Jepsen presale kicking my ass this morning omg… yeah it's over for me when the Cloud 9 lady announces huh

@bjorkismymom hasn't set up the streaming farm yet

everyone deservedly praising assorted LAMB/TSE cuts, but let me give a shoutout to Make Me Like You breezy, catchy, wistful… deserved to smash! should've gotten a real video though smh
