Yeah, it's not a diaster. I would say that autoplay had the biggest impact on singles not albums. However, I would say hate that i made you love me has been performing great. Very few new songs (especially non country) perform well . I haven't checked the numbers specifically but it looks like it performed better than drop dead I do believe the album performance has been underpeforming a fair bit but I think it's mostly explained by how mellow the album is to listen to. To me, I think Ariana trade a better lead single performance for a worse album performance. The album would have performed better with no lead single, considering that there was no song that was a revelation to boost it like eternal sunshine had with we can't be friends.

There has been no autoplay for new releases for a year or two. Autoplay has gone back to prioritizing proven hit songs. A big reason why new releases are struggling so much . In addition, Spotify crackdown on free accounts, apis etc have led to lower streaming numbers from them.

Because people wanted her to be the next Rihanna . Her label invested a lot in her . Fashion labels love her So high expectations I agree that she lacks the persona and hits to be a major star Those two are most important factors to a sustainable music career

Apparently phoebes literal bed (copied in 2017) which Phoebe is referencing. Great songwriting material

Unfortunately, it's not about raising them right or them being sweet They were breed to have low threshold for arousal, and explicitly to be triggered into excitement by small animals and other dogs. And then breed to keeping on biting once aroused, no matter how damage being inflicted on them. It's all insticts for them Many pitbulls never get triggered in their life and are just sweet dogs. But even the sweetest and most gentle, can get triggered in an instant and do dreadful violence, even against their owner

Yeah, it's not Atrl specifically. But more the viral tweets and Tiktoks about Ariana's weight that echo similar sentiments
-
That's not what I was saying I am saying unfortunately, that people saying that Ariana is too skinny actually feeds her ED (and other's ED) In general, people suffering from anorxia usually percieve those comments as positive reinforcement for their ED. As a compliment that motivates them to starve themselves eve more . Any discussion of someone suffering from an ED's weight feeds the ED . Saying that she looks ill, saying that she looks healthy, saying that she's too skinny, saying that she's too fat, they fall feed the ED. It makes them even more aware of their weight and feeds their desire for control (aka starving themselves) The whole premise of "body checks" is that those suffering from anorxia want people to talk about how skinny they are. EDs are fundamentally a mental social illness

No. She started getting hyper scrutinized during Wicked promotion because since it was a blockbuster movie, she was doing a massive amount of contractural promotion . It started the massive public discourse about her weight. This hyper scrutiny continued with her current tour and album cycle.

However, it's also absolutely true that Ariana's likely ED is being used as a weapon in stan wars. That people just use it to attack her Frankly, she looked very skinny but more healthy than now during her Wicked era. The rabid discussion of her and Cynthia's weight during that period would feed most people's ED. So ironically those concern trolling Ariana are likely partially responsible for her current state Dreadful situation

ED are a contagious social illness If Ariana has anorexia, she is mentally ill It's correct to be concerned about Ariana's visible struggle spreading anorexia to others. Because that's the nature of anorexia being a contagious social illness To blame Ariana personally incorrect. Because she's ill. The scrutiny that Ariana has faced for decades over her weight , makes EDs almost inevitable. Almost every celebrity has an ED even through most struggle visibily less than Ariana. However, anorexia feeds off people saying how concerned they are about how skinny she is. Any discussion about Ariana's weight feeds both her anxorexia but also millions of others suffering from the same illness So the correct response from everyone is to stop talking about Ariana. Both her fans and those angry at her, need to stop posting about her . No one should be spreading photos of current Ariana now It only both encourages her own anorexia but also hurts millions of civilians also struggling with anorexia

A few things. Spotify has cracked down on free accounts reducing total streams Spotify has also shifted to boosting older, proven hit songs in their playlists and algorithms which hurts the performance of new music

People said that about Best Latin Pop album only for Bad Bunny to win Album of the Year last year. Grammys are fundamentally an American (+British) music industry award show It was no more a pity category than Best Spoken Word Poetry Album, Best Regional Roots Music Album, Historically, grammys has so many different genre categories especially because only a small group of music & artists are competitive in the main categories because Grammy voters appreciate a specific type of musicians. Girl groups and boy groups have never been respected by the Grammys as Grammy's values singer-songwriters not dance. The whole premise is to have a ton of categories so music that won't be awarded in the main categories will be awarded somewhere.

That's the norm for all major artist nowadays. Tour promotion is the only thing that has major effects on song performances nowadays. It's really frustrating for us fans. TBH, it's because those hits were mostly local to the USA unlike her earlier career hit songs. Her 2020s songs also aren't super well suited for playlists which is the main form of song consumpation nowadays. Also her fanbase is simply less active and older as result of her decreased promotion. Her streams are still great considering she's a veteran artist
