Desperation - Trump promises $5k stimulus checks if Republicans win the midterms
So many millions are going to fall for this and it's sad and pathetic. Everyone should know we'll never see one cent. Everything that comes out of that man's mouth is a lie. "You're getting stimulus checks from DOGE, grocery prices are going to be so low, gas prices are going to be so low, I'm not going to start any new wars, you'll get the un-redacted Epstein files." But you really think you're going to get $5000?

Cop that killed Sonya Massey dead af
What are the odds? I've heard that precancerous polyps usually take about 10-15 years to even develop into cancer, so he must've had this festering inside his body while he committed the murder. That is super young for something like that to happen. I assume there were symptoms beforehand. He should've worried about getting his health sorted out instead of terrorizing Black people.

Diamanda Galas on Cowboy Carter: "It's bingo music for clowns"
She is just one of those who thinks anything popular/mainstream is beneath her because she's more enlightened and sophisticated than the average person. Here she is dragging Gaga too: "Oh god. I've attempted to listen to her because people have told me she's doing something interesting, but it's torture for me! She's taken visual elements from the art world, but used them in the wrong context. Those visual elements are part and parcel of an outlaw or rebel stance. They're not designed to be implemented by or for ridiculous, lightweight, crap music that isn't even worthy of a margarine ad." https://xtramagazine.com/culture/music/the-thrilling-horrors-of-singer-diamanda-galas-226975

Diamanda Galas on Cowboy Carter: "It's bingo music for clowns"
If Beyonce's music is "bingo music for clowns" then Diamanda's music is "screeching and wailing for pretentious Goths who want to be edgy and think they're too intellectual to listen to 'mainstream music.'"

Hot 100 | Final predictions (8/22/26): Texas #1 (x18), Midnight Sun #14, Oh Yeah? #20
I do not understand what's so special about that Texas song. There are 100 million country songs that sound exactly like it.

Spotify reaches 300M premium subscribers
I only pay because it's basically unusable if you don't subscribe to Premium. A 2 minute ad break after every 2-3 songs is a major pain in the ass. It didn't used to be like that a few years ago. You used to be able to listen to one ad and get 30 minutes ad free (and sometimes I swear they went way over). And when you choose about 5 songs you want to hear just to be told "you've reached your limit for the day, you can choose your own music again tomorrow."

Music with explicit lyrics is in decline, report shows.
I've never understood why cursing is so bad anyway. Who decided "these sounds/words are offensive and you must never, ever use them"?

Artists who are only relevant to gay men and not any other demographic?
All the has-been pop girls. Who the hell cares about a new Madonna album in 2026? The gays, that's who. I even saw gays hyping up Willa Ford's new album. Her one and only hit song was released even before 9/11 yet they still showed up to support her 25 years later. Now that is loyalty and devotion.

The lowest streamed Billboard Hot 100 #1 Hits of the past 50 years on Spotify
I expected to see Janet Jackson but it's still sad. Her legacy really took a hit in the mid to late 2000s. First the Superbowl and her blacklist because of that. Then a lot of revisionist history after Michael's untimely death with people acting like he was the only Jackson who ever mattered and she was "just his sister."

What are the least surprising events in pop history?
I don't think anyone is surprised every time Rihanna puts out another baby instead of another album.
