Obscure pop lore that's basically been lost to time / forgotten?
I think in hindsight we know why
- Katy Perry's concert film flops, fans enjoy the empty theaters

From Beyoncé's boxes to Taylor's towels: How billionaires treat fans like ATMs
It's all stupid, low quality, overpriced stuff. No artist is really doing better than the others on this front. I can't think of a single artist whose merch has been genuinely good quality for years now (because most of them use the same people). It's all just overpriced junk no matter the artist's name attached.

Total/daily Spotify streams of songs that landed in the Top 10 Year End on Billboard
I mean it's not the worst song in that top 10 I guess. Not a fan of the guy but his music's mostly inoffensive. Not good or bad enough to be all that memorable.

Was the $950 empty box a wake up call?
No. I just didn't buy it and moved about my day. I didn't need a wake up call to realize none of what these artists sell is worth what is charged. I don't know why this site loves to make threads about the overpriced merch these artists drop as if they or anyone else are somehow being forced to buy it. Just don't. It's that easy. If someone wants to be dumb let them I guess that's their prerogative.

Spotify | Miley - Bass Persuades | Day 2: #132 WW 1.3M, #87 US 387k
I'd rather her make the music she wants to make and flop than make stuff she doesn't want to and smash. Some of you are far too numbers obsessed and need to become a little more integrity obsessed.

Dem nominee for Ohio Governor Amy Acton attacked at campaign, multiple people injured
The initial headline gave me big Gabby Giffords vibes. I hope it's not as serious as that.

Why did Lana Del Rey mostly throw away black women under the bus in QFTC?
What is there to be said about this that hasn't been discussed at length already

Was this the most disrespectful moment ever recorded in the history of modern pop?
Some of you all are really stupid.

Which pop girl has the best worst song?
I don't think some of these are the worst songs a few of those artists have

What are the weirdest avis that you have seen on ATRL?
That one that's a poorly done gif edit of Taylor on the red carpet in a red dress sticking her tongue out irritates me to no end. All the AI ones too like get help.
