keep the variants going hoping we can get 300k but the fact that it's solidly over 250k is a huge win already

green rating on metacritic >275k opening week locked #1 song on Spotify currently (and the other single hit #1) hugely successful tour + accompanying discography boost (currently charting 4 albums) ...why are you in every thread spreading negativity

what is this random meltdown over Kacey. if you hate her then don't come into the thread. she is far from a flop, she has like 5 top 5 albums, a #1 single, eight grammys, and has a consistent fanbase + touring power (see: selling out MSG)... god forbid she cancels a few tour dates. calm tf down

who gives a f*ck she's an AOTY winner with a consistent fanbase and touring power while being iced out of Country radio for being outspoken about her values and political beliefs... and isn't a MAGA supporter who collaborates with Morgan Wallen and performs for Kid Rock

right because England's equivalent of Broadway wouldn't want an Oscar-nominated, Grammy-winning, Broadway performer + global superstar with a universally acclaimed voice, and particularly strong popularity in the UK.... co-headlining with her Wicked co-star Jonathan Bailey bffr

good news here is that the actual fanpage (https://www.reddit.com/r/ariheads/) has almost double the users of the Snark page. the /r/ArianaGrande one is secondary, for whatever reason

my guess is that "multiple things can be true at once" is her silent acknowledgment that her / her family / her team / etc. have broached the ED subject. as a longtime fan, i don't think i'm alone in noticing phases over the years of a strange relationship with food, etc., including her popularity in ED spheres a decade(+) ago (ex: tumblr). to deny that there isn't a health/ED problem here means you have to take the stan goggles off. it's very clear that something is wrong - not only her health, but the barrage of hate just for being too skinny / glinda voice / cynthia friendship / the affair allegations / etc. have been a severely disproportionate. but it's very obvious that a lot of ""concern"" - including on here - is NOT in good faith, and she's been the butt of some vile jokes. but there is 100% a problem, and this is the best thing for her right now. best case scenario: the problem is being acknowledged, time away from the public will be spent recovering from constant harassment (both about and not about this) and pursuing treatment for recovery, and this was pre-planned and she isn't doing this as a reaction to lukewarm album reception and bodyshaming. i'm inclined to believe this was pre-planned, as the delay of Sunday In The Park With George a little while back was definitely a result of her dropping out.

bad thing (bunny hop) is an instant all-timer of hers for me. i cannot stop playing it

^^^ this I think the tour gave it the jolt it needed and its been very stable

OT: a dance album vs. a rock album with an anti-commercial sound... no i'm not surprised. the quality is there

New York by Addison coming next OT: HTIMYLM/Petal could maybe sneak in at #1 during the album release week but otherwise the only hope would be that "Boston" song blowing up further or Morgan releasing

queen of not using dynamic pricing to scam fans
