I feel like this is the definitive top 6 (not in order) that nobody else really comes close to globally: Donald Trump Christiano Ronaldo Lionel Messi Vladimir Putin Taylor Swift Elon Musk

I've never heard a single good one, so no. The moment you realize something is made by AI it just seems cheap and boring.

Definitely not where I'm from. Most people over 45 or under 20 probably wouldn't recognize her.

Virgin is actually the best album released last year. Give it a chance and let the lyrics and melodies reveal themselves to you.

Edit: never mind!

Jail! Robin has such a unique topic for a song and never leaves my eyes dry. Possibly her most underrated song imo, along with I Almost Do and Epiphany

A rare example of an album being an instant classic the moment it was released

Next up: Red - 9x platinum TTPD - 9x platinum Speak Now - 9x platinum Debut - 8x platinum Midnights - 8x platinum Reputation - 8x platinum Folklore - 7x platinum

It's still top 5 on over all streaming in the US

Sort of more normal and "healthy" than jerking off to porn and strangers?

Does this fantasy soothe you?

All this being completely wrong Lover didn't release early, in fact it was her longest wait between lead single and album release. ME! was even released before any of the master's drama had happened. Midnights wasn't "announced out of nowhere", it was planned for a year and announced 8 whole months before the breakup. The fling with Matty was in no way a "secret", it was fully public and discussed everywhere as it happened in 2023. The only reason it "came to public light" again as TTPD was announced was exactly because of the announcement. I'm not saying public interest in her personal life isn't taken into consideration in the album promo, but at least get the facts straight.

I always thought she didn't actually mean it as shade but just hadn't listened to her music yet, it was all the way back in 2014 after all They shared this sweet moment just a month later:

Her voice is for some reason off-putting to a lot of people, it sounds too girly and "unserious". Her songwriting also isn't very personal, which hinders her from developing a bigger pop star persona.

I think it helped her career in the same way Lover did. It provided something that the kids, offline GP, soccer moms and Disney adults can latch onto for years to come - the kind of people who maybe weren't that into TTPD, Midnights and folkmore. I'm sure TS13 and the debut re-recording will reign in the OG fans, country/alt listeners and online crowds once again. Showgirl also gave her by far her biggest era on the charts in Europe. Ophelia smashed there like nothing has for her before. All in all, I believe Showgirl has expanded her audience rather than decreased it, but I guess the TS13 opening week will definitively answer the question.

Showgirl. I really believed it would her highest bpm album yet

The Islands have been firmly British since 1833 and inhabited by Brits since. That's 200 years. Are you Argentinian?

By this logic half a the world's surface could be "claimed" by countries that once occupied it but no longer do. Should Denmark get parts of Sweden back just because it was lost in a war centuries ago? You should focus on the present and the people who actually live in the Falklands.

Which is also the 5th most streamed song in its 5th week?

Taylor Swift (20th Anniversary Edition) would be a much needed Taypositivity catalyst, setting TS13 up for a warm reception among critics and the GP. Softening her image a bit this fall sure wouldn't hurt her Oscar chances either. I think it would be wise to only have one variant for a potential debut re-release, similar to Speak Now TV, and then they can go all out with the versions for TS13.

Can we stop this until anyone actually knows what happened? It's been talked about to death.

So he is wishing for discourse to disappear that he is constantly engaging in? He has profited off the discourse for years now and is literally more responsible than anyone else for having brought the comparisons to the attention of thousands of people.

I'd agree if it wasn't for the possibility that TS13 could become the biggest global female debut of all time, Showgirl was 300k short if I remember correctly. I also wouldn't mind if her biggest debut was for an album I could truly get behind… And it being the 13th for symbolic reasons. Do we even find it possible that TS13 could outsell Showgirl's first week? Showgirl felt like the perfect storm, and the mixed response to it might lead to lower pure sales next time. But you never know with Taylor… The streams won't drop one bit though, everyone will tune in again.

"13 Letters" or something like that

Can the basement that Fantano lives in just collapse already
