How has Sabrina managed to consolidate such a large fanbase in such a short time?
What's really impressive is that she manages to pull these massive pure copies despite being known for radio friendly bops when usually the type of acts to sell so well are the ones who curate their image to pass off as authentic, relatable songwriters, which grants them access to a loyal fanbase that buys and consumes albums front-to-back but usually translates in less impactful singles with the GP. Sabrina to me seems to be the only popstar alongside Ariana to hit the sweet spot that makes them equally appealing to both sides, and if I have to point to a specific reason why I think her persona being so refreshing in the current pop landscape played a big factor in getting her there

Selena's "Single Soon" - what went wrong?
It's atrocious and dated af. I still can't believe she squandered the massive, unprecedented hype she had in early 2023 by sitting on her ass for six months and then have the audacity to dust off this DOA nuclear bomb from some 2017 demos archive. The fact it was supposed to be a lead single is so ****** up, the lack of self-awareness from her & her team is astounding I don't get why fans give Benny such a hard time when at least he gave us the likes of Bluest Flame and Ojos Tristes, meanwhile Selena's solo releases post-Revalación have all been trash. And since it's getting lashed in here for some reason, Love On is actually the only decent one among them, a whole bop outside of the occasional dodgy vocals... honestly someone like Sabrina would've made a meal out of that track. Oh well it was an IG reels smash at least

Songs that deserve to go viral on TikTok.
Her one & only 10/10 song this decade, I still hold out hope it gets discovered and becomes a longevity smash because it sounds like one. If only she toured it might have had the necessary exposure to blow up already

What would the pop music landscape look like if COVID never happened? (Be realistic)
If this is strictly about music I think you're conflating COVID with TikTok, it's the impact of the latter that has changed all the rules

Source- Billboard H100 YEC: Female Acts Charting For 10+ Years
OP updated! No new entries this year, but lots of movements nonetheless: Mariah, Taylor, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Nicki, Selena and Ariana all chart at least one song in this year's Hot 100 YEC. For some added trivia, here's how things would look like if I were to exclude years where an artist only charted a song that had already entered the YEC of a previous year, which is usually the result of a truncated chart-run, and only counted "unique" entries: 1. Mariah (19) 2. Madonna (18) 3. Rihanna/Taylor (15) 5. Beyoncé/Pink (14) 7. Janet (13) 8. Nicki (12) 9. Cher/Dionne/Kelly/Selena (11) 13. Ariana/Whitney (9)- Rank Dua Lipa's Top 10 hits in the UK

I would've NEVER expected this but the non-vault song I've found myself gravitating the most towards is Shake It Off. I couldn't stand it at the time and actively avoided it but whew, that last minute or so is so euphoric and hits in all the right places for me right now Also great to discover that Bad Blood, especially remixed, still goes off extremely hard despite the bad rep it gets from fans- 'Calm Down' becomes the longest-running Top 10 hit by a female artist in Canada
Except every other attempt to seize upon the potential and virality of an Afrobeats song by remixing it with an American singer proves you wrong. The Bieber remix of "Essence" has less streams than the original (129M vs 206M) and the same goes for Camila Cabello's remix of "KU LO SA" (277M vs 33M). The Ed Sheeran remix of "Peru," while bigger than the original (284M vs 99M), hardly made the song explode in popularity, and all of his numerous other collabs in the same genre flopped. The new Travis Scott remix of "Water" is most definitely poised to come and go as well. Since this is all direct proof that adding a recognizable name to a viral song doesn't mean it's automatically going to make said song several times more successful, the only reasonable explanation for the blockbuster success of "Calm Down" is that people dig what Selena brings to the song specifically. That doesn't detract from this being Rema's song first and foremost so all props to him, but also credit where credit's due.- 'Calm Down' becomes the longest-running Top 10 hit by a female artist in Canada
I was okay with it going recurrent cause I just assumed if Drake's album bomb wasn't going to push it out of the top 25, then Bad Bunny or Taylor's would but actually I think it would've ended up surviving those, so yeah it's really a shame, also because it was really close to hanging on and Drake's tracks proved to be really frontloaded. I'm not usually against recurrency rules but there is no chart system that should allow going #10-OUT under any circumstances if a song is stable on all the main components, or at least it should be allowed to re-enter the following week as all those album tracks inevitably fall off I get what you're saying but I seriously doubt there's plenty of songs from before 2007 that even lasted 40+ weeks on the entire chart, let alone in the top 10. Songs nowadays tend to have much longer chart-runs in general It was certified 7x Platinum four months ago in Canada so it's probably not going to take long, but certifications are not automatic so it's not a given that they'll update it as soon as it'll reach it. In any case, "It Ain't Me" was certified 9x Platinum there more than 2 years ago so it's likely that was her first song to technically reach Diamond status. RIAA (unfairly) doesn't credit Selena on the certification unfortunately, but at the rate it's going I guess in 2-3 years it might be Diamond eligible. A lot comes down to how well it holds up on streaming in the next years. And it's definitely going to get a major boost like all the biggest hits of the year come NYE. At that point it will still have enough points to chart in the top 25 on top of gaining in performance from the previous week in every metric and, since those are the requirements for a re-entry, maybe Billboard will let it chart again. The rules are pretty iffy though, and I think there's a chance they only grant the opportunity to re-enter to hits that got kicked out by Christmas songs only and in that case Calm Down would be out for good.- 'Calm Down' becomes the longest-running Top 10 hit by a female artist in Canada
It surpasses "Bad Guy" as it spends its 43rd week in the Top 10 of the Canadian Hot 100, and is now only behind "Heat Waves" and "Blinding Lights" overall, which have charted for 45 and 56 weeks respectively within the region. The song is also 13 weeks away from tying "Levitating" as the longest-charting female song in the Top 100, period. Elsewhere, "Calm Down" is also the song with most weeks ever spent in the Top 10 of France and Switzerland (45 and 54 respectively) and the longest-charting song in Pop radio history in the U.S., with 55 weeks and counting. Below the full (as of yet) chart-run of this record-breaking smash- Rank Jordan Peele's Big 3
Nope > Get Out > Us I find Get Out to be the one that offers the least to chew on, it's great but very straightforward and bare-bones compared to the other two- Taylor causes pandemonium at Jack Antonoff's wedding, hundreds show up at venue

These scams are still much more common and successful than you'd think no matter how absurd they sound, especially the ones targeting old people- Selena Gomez
Okay queen, faith restored I just thought it was weird to start an era when another Interscope pop girl is right in the middle of hers, especially if that person is Olivia who shares Selena's entire team. And if this was kicking off an album rollout then that would have pretty much killed any hope for a feature on 1989TV and would've made a #1 album very unlikely, and that seems to be the label's priority As it stands, I can see Single Soon being anywhere from a minor hit to a surprising smash, depending on what the reception is and if the stars align and it goes viral on social media, which I feel it could given what I heard of the song and its breakup theme. Following that, I've been thinking we might get a Taylor/Selena link-up at the VMA's: it would be a perfect 2015'd throwback to promote the re-recording, they're both winning at least one award that night so reason for both to show up, and that's where Taylor announced Midnights last year so considering the timing she might reveal the tracklist that night. And to that point, I feel like it's now or never for a collab, so while I'm not that confident she's on the album, I'm at least hopeful Finally, I'd say lead single maybe around March next year and the album sometime in Q2? It will probably come down to when she'll be on set for Only Murders, which I'm assuming gets at least another season Also, I guess this is where any dream for Grammys glory for Calm Down comes to an end since the only way to meet eligibility seems to be releasing a live version and it doesn't look like anything is in the works? And even if they're aware, I wouldn't put it past Selena to just let Rema release a live recording of his own solo version, cause that would also be a way to make the song eligible even if it was already submitted last year - BOF: Rare Beauty top makeup brand, bidding war for acquisition to start at $2B+
