Without ABBA, there wouldn't be pop music as we know it today.

Ugh, I really feel sorry for all the things that happened to Venezuelan people. I am from Myanmar and I think a lot of people living in developed countries with a relatively stable politics don't understand what it is like to live in a country in shambles that is further attacked by natural disasters. When the coup happened and civil war broke out in Myanmar, the third wave of COVID struck the country and caused thousands of deaths. We thought things couldn't get worse. And then the 7.7M earthquake happened in 2025. The aftermath was devastating to say the least. The difference between countries like Japan and Myanmar/Venezuela is a lot, like a lot. Corruption ran deep hence we have poor quality buildings. They are reduced to pebbles after earthquakes. When it happened in Mandalay, we couldn't rescue those victims under the debris although we heard them calling out for help. Think about it! Help was not really affective. And then we have the inflation rate of 25% and above. We feel you Venezuela although we can't do much.

In one video, I saw 'stacks' of concrete, which was an apartment building before the quake. There's no way the people in there survived. As someone living in a low quality building myself, we're living with fear.

Stop posting jokes y'all. The Venezuela situation is a catastrophe. Beyond terrible.Agreed. I don't want to judge her lyrics. They are there for everyone to see, but her repetitive melodies have been drowning her output for quite a while.The GP will remember those songs better than any Taylor Swift songs, which have samey melodies. Both have more than 1B streams on Spotify (Toxic has >1.9 B) and have better daily streams than some recent hits from Taylor Swift.She does. Taylor doesn't have a ubiquitous pop classic like BOMT or Toxic.Britney has more memorable songs than Taylor tho.
