One of these is the artist's 2nd album, another is their 4th. Meanwhile, TLOASG is Taylor's 12th album and has already outsold the other two combined. So they are not very comparable

And what is that exactly?

Hardly a scapegoat more just facts based on this thread.

Interesting, you think that would make Swifties more understanding as opposed to some of the most deranged haters out there.

It did over 2 million yesterday in Mexico alone! C'mon Karol, give Mexico some more dates, they deserve it!

It's because Shakira's dominance is not really questioned. She has the longest career of anyone listed, yet still had the global song of the summer this year and the top grossing tour of last year. She is already unquestionably a legend. Shakira's LMYNL is not really even marketed as anything but a collection of pre-released droplets. And no one is really arguing that she is aiming for some artistic peak.

LUX absolutely deserves but we all know the Grammys have an Anglo bias. Olivia is very deserving of song of the year.

Glad you finally agree :)

Agreed, Swifties really need to be stopped and leave everyone alone.

Why do these people make Hasan sound like such a great person?

I will defend both albums. But TTPD is one of the best albums of the decade so it is an unfair comparison. However, Taylor could not pick singles correctly to save her life, so Ariana wins the singles department.

Three by my count!

I came here for Verano Rosa!

Good for her. Clearly the fact that nothing about this has leaked means they got what they were hoping for.

I think many countries should think seriously about this. The U.S. has leveraged its control over national gold supplies before. And given that the U.S. is going after Canada, it's not unreasonable for countries in Western Europe to imagine the US would go after them too.

Oh I am well aware that the democratic establishment is delusional. I just don't see how a democratic candidate can win if a significant number of voters view them as morally abhorrent. It did not work for Biden and Kamala. It also is another example of democrats specifically not representing the views of voters. It erodes trust. If people don't trust you and think you are a bad person, winning over their vote is nearly impossible.

Does anyone think a Zionist candidate is electable in the general at this point? At this point it's a gating issue for many voters.

Love seeing Newsom fall! Should be much lower though. Harris running is truly the candidate the DNC deserves.

I have not personally been to all Latin American Capitals but from what I hear these are the ones worth a visit: Havana: I hear it's pretty, and has a unique culture and vibe you could likely not find anywhere else. Buenos Aires: Self explanatory. Probably one of the great cities of the world. Santiago: I hear that it is a nice place to visit and surrounded by incredible mountains Mexico City: obviously…probably the best capital city to visit anywhere in the world. Bogota & Lima: I hear mixed things but some people LOVE these cities so worth considering. Honorable Mention: Rio De Janeiro. Formerly the capital and certainly worth visiting.

I'm not Mexican and can confirm that Mexico City is arguably the best city in the world.

Yes, they all are among the biggest hits from 2026.

In what world did RED lack mega hits?

And to think that they will still compromise with republicans and boil this down. Also interesting to see that restricting ICE is not on the list.

Where is Karol G? Si Antes de hubiera conocido is such a bop!

No, people not paying for music ruined the music industry such that there is no longer any infrastructure to support artists. To make it you basically need to be independently wealthy.
