At the end of the day, larger societal critiques, regardless of their merit, are always going to be diluted or completely nullified when couched within stan twitter rhetoric. Making it so much about Taylor already sets her up to be easily discredited instead of making a larger structural critique. Atp I just don't get it, even if you have the idea that you want to speak "truth to power," is going back and forth with Swifties on X and digging the hole any deeper going to change anything if it hasn't already?

Thefty has fans in the Netherlands and Germany? What are we doing here

The real reason is because the artist chart measures total streams across an artist's catalog. Katy has a dense concentration of streaming hits from OOTB to Prism, but her album track streams are low enough to where the potential few million needed to bump her up a few spots isn't (currently) possible. She would need a few other viral album tracks or for an entire era to have a resurgence to crack the top 15 area And just for posterity, Gaga is doing 19.2M daily while Katy is doing 16.3M. Subtracting DWAS, Gaga would be doing 16.6M daily, and that's without anything having a recent viral resurgence

You're so right, it was completely understandable when people used an AI generated GIF of MJ wearing pajamas, but Zendaya giggling just crosses the line

Why don't we walk up to a rando in Walmart or Target and let them decide

I'm a peaceful lurker, Loose vs Folklore?let's talk about the real topics

You used to be one of the most chill and articulate Nelly stans, you can do better than involving yourself in the Fadga vs Fadty stan war naval

DWAS (a Gaga song) last to encapsulate the glamour fatalism of Mayhem as a whole, OGH can't understand https://youtube.com/shorts/lgY_JjZEruE?si=BA5bcjQsHGGxBxiP

GaGa's song when it debuts with 5M, Bruno's song when it smashes. Why?

Billie and Gaga love each other, ntm

I'm not sure any song in history has caused as much psychosis on this site as DWAS. Will the 1356th "thank you Bruno" take the pain away?

Let's go Dead Career awards not charts

You're on Drugz isn't even in the bottom half of worst Godga songs, so out of the actual candidates: Superstar is the best, Chillin with Lou is the worst

Yes, Ella Fitzgerald did make it

this is bc Reddit subs tend to be very homogenous and self-selecting. Pop stans are likely to stay on pop forums, so if they go on a more GP-oriented sub that's not likely to include many stans of their faves, they're not going to have other stans to upvote their defense ATRL is one of the few forums left where large cohorts of fanbases all congregate together, so you're much more likely to get a legitimate back and forth. Not so when you're on a Reddit that's generally divorced from MPG stan culture

feel like pure **** just want them back x

Call Me is a horrible example, Blondie had had a #1 before and after it and it perfectly encapsulated the post-punk trend that every artist was trying to hop on in 1980. Made perfect sense as a #1 to me, and was in fact the year-end #1 as well

She's unlikely to get it anytime soon given that she already got the Tricon, but I still have hope they'll come around and give it to her anyways in a few eras

Miley is the most likely here, it would align almost perfectly with Bass Persuades promo Taylor seems like the only other true possibility if she actually decides to attend, unless they decide to do their big one and give Madonna a second Vanguard

Ophelia already outcharted EOM in the UK and is still charting, so I don't see how one can be an organic smash while the other isn't

We won't be able to make a full judgment on TLOAS for a few more years, but I would probably say 30 out of these. BTW's resurgence and (relative) longevity on streaming has been pretty impressive, it's doing 2x 30's streams daily despite being years older

I would rather have Sam and Olivia #1 for 40 weeks than for Stella to even get close to the Top 5, feel like pure **** just want them back x

Taylord needs to release that 70s pop rock opus promised by the Midnights visuals ASAP, the GP has spoken and rightfully prefers Folkmore Taylor over Synthpoplor Guts is an incredible album that got an unfair shake here due to following the monster that was Sour, glad it's getting the last laugh

The way that the GP completely ignored that footballer admitting that it was her team's fault and not primarily hers, I feel sick. CR2 is coming to end everyone, The Subway ROTY, etc etc
