deannoying

The story sounded suspicious to me from the very beginning. She lived in Rochester, 5 hours away from NYC, which meant she would've had to leave at 2 p.m. at the latest to make it to the 7 p.m. red carpet (and that's without traffic and rush-hour). The VMAs were on a Thursday in 2000, so does that mean she snuck out at 2 p.m. on a school day to go to an event where she didn't even have a ticket? And what kind of 20-year-old would drive a 13-year-old 5 hours to an event where they didn't even have a ticket and just leave them there? It's so convenient that this "friend" of hers has passed away and is unable to corroborate the story. And that her father who drove 5 hours to and from also can't remember it happening.

I had to quit a book by these authors after the first chapter because it was so bad…

ROM debuted at #1 and broke the record for top all-female collaboration debut on Spotify…. Two years later it’s doing <300K and is being outstreamed by a Katy Perry song

More than Beyoncé? Michael Jackson??? Not buying it.

Yawn… People made these exact same jokes when Infinity War came out 4 years ago.

Harry is bigger right now, but Justin is the bigger celebrity and bigger artist overall. Justin cemented himself as one of the most popular and most influential artists of the 2010s. He had the world in a chokehold at 15 years old in 2009, and he’s still cranking out hits 13 years later. Let’s see if the same can be said for Harry 13 years into his solo career. I doubt people will care much for him by 2030. Justin will still probably be relevant.

The Sims 3 is so poorly optimized that even supercomputers have trouble running it. And The Sims 4 might have less optimization issues, but it’s so severely underdeveloped and lacking in lore, content, and heart. EA hasn’t cared about quality since The Sims 2. It might not have an open world or be as modernized as The Sims 4, but it has a lot of heart and charm. So my vote is TS2.

It’s neck-and-neck…. but I’m going to go with HTE. Might be because of recency bias, but I also like the subject matter and the switch into the second half is always amazing.

This same energy wouldn’t be given to Shawn Mendes

Are we talking about MPGs who debuted in each decade? Wouldn’t Ariana be the richest of the ‘10s pop girls?

I got a “something went wrong” error as soon as I signed in

This entire thread is going to look embarrassing once the HDD predictions come out lol

Pretty underwhelming for her standards.

ATRL cares about chart positions too much. 100k is amazing regardless of where it peaks. Most of the biggest artists in the world can’t even crack 200k anymore, and Doja did 100k as a new-ish artist in this sales climate

Not Bo Burnham outselling Maroon 5 with a a COMEDY album in its second week

I could’ve sworn Ari had 3 with positions? Didn’t she break some pop radio record recently?

This thread is about to be a mess

The gap between FN and Positions isn’t big at all. If Ariana has the biggest female album of the year after her peak era, I’ll truly be shocked I’m also shook at 1989 having 1,000 more units than TUN probably won’t hold that lead for long but that’s crazy. Taylor with so many entries is insane

OMG this is so impressive. Record after record! I wonder if Billie will break it again when HTE comes out.

Swifties most likely helped but she also has support from the GP. She’s a force right now and she’s here to stay

Deserved. All three singles deserved to be #1 tbh

Not her pure outselling some top girls’ entire SPS

What were WWAFAWDWG’s numbers?

Outdoing Camila’s debut by 76k-101k units I never wanna see ATRL compare them again

Taylor with two on the list I seriously don’t understand why she wanted those #1s so badly when the albums were already smashes. Made her look desperate, especially with Willow
