Wait, didn't someone here a few pages ago predict her making an entire visual thing/documentary out of ts?

Wow, i think my brain is playing with me but for some reason, I thought Massive Attack had more work on Bedtime Stories

i've loved all her work with Massive Attack, so yea

Pack it up

Every time I read up on albums put out by celebrities who were already popular by the time these said albums came out, I never understood why they always debuted outside the top 10 before having to rise through consistent sales and eventually ascend to the top. I can imagine sales accounting prior to the Nielsen Soundscan era was vastly different, but what sort of rule could've disabled or prevented albums that were already successful upon release a high debut? For example, Like a Prayer was released by Madonna at the height of her commercial power and success. Yet, it only charted in the top 40 before it reached the top of the charts. It just doesn't make sense to me. For example, I couldn't imagine Olivia Rodrigo releasing an album as successful as her last one and it not having a hot-shot debut. So why was this the charting norm for all A-list artists of the era? I find it hard to pinpoint shift in consumer behaviour because the moment the Nielsen Soundscan era began, the Bodyguard soundtrack debuted at #1 with 300k+ sales. Such a change would be too instantaneous for it to have been influenced by changes in music consumption. Would appreciate a response on this since the chart geek inside me always thinks about it

Even the CDs couldn't handle the 9.9 motherquake packed in that tiny disc

Only!? Are you kidding me?? That's one of her best songs, it shouldve been over 1b by now

I'm one of those Gen Zs lol, I find this style so comforting and cozy. But I can see why the same millennials who got to grow up with these homely interiors ended up fathering the putrid minimalist "grey/white everything" trend and ruining every old house's soul with it 🙄

Oh no, I thought Olivia was getting a third #1 because everyone was saying she was safe till Madonna's release

Britney's house VERY much gives Tuscan, so I think yes

It's a great and wonderfully-sung song by Sam Fender and Olivia Dean. It's certainly worth a listen imo

Screaming at Ariana inadvertently contributing to this drama at the time

I'm not surprised, considering this was preceded by YouTube's search engine gradually becoming really poor. I used to find 20-30 videos related to my search on YouTube but nowadays, I'm lucky if I even find 10 before it devolves into irrelevant videos and stupid YouTube shorts. I know it's to manipulate our attention-span, but it still contributed to the search facility downgrading overtime

OMGGG YESSS I LOVE Graham Norton, I actually need to watch this, they'd both fit in like a glove (no pun intended)
