2026 VMAs viewing figures up 51% from last year, highest since 2015
I really dislike when someone can't have a logical counterpoint before using the ageism or misogynistic term. While those issues are real, just because you don't support a particular artist doesn't automatically make you an ageist or misogynistic. My point still stands. Dai Dai should have won best collaboration, how does that make me an ageist ? Demi Moore literally won best actress for the substance in critic choice and golden globe. So because she didn't win it at the Oscars literally mean they are ageist? You can make a case for Demi but Mikey Madison also gave a phenomenal performance and was a worthy winner. Attributing any criticism of them to ageism is actually a disservice of their artistry really..

2026 VMAs viewing figures up 51% from last year, highest since 2015
Awards show are in the decline but MTV could still have done better. Making it fan-voted makes the award winners super predictable and most people will not tune in. I'm happy that Madonna got her deserved flowers but let's be frank she didn't deserve to win some of the categories she won like best collaboration for example. Let's take the Oscars for example, Demi Moore wasn't awarded best actress for the substance despite being over due because someone else was more deserving. It's stuff like this that maintains the prestige. They could have created a lifetime achievement awards or something to honour Madonna rather than awarding her categories that they were more worthy contenders for this year.

Beyoncé looks sensational at JAŸ-Z's HBO series premiere
I know we don't care for Jay Z but he always support her during her eras too. Usually at almost every tour. This is just me guessing but I think because of the kids and just general family dynamics, both of try not be active at the same time unless it's a joint project. Likely why we didn't get Act 3 this year.

Who is actually more important to pop culture: Britney or Rihanna?
I don't know where you all got this from. Of course, Britney was the pop supreme back then but if anything, Rihanna happened because of Beyonce. Roc nation also said bey was instrumental in them signing her. That aside, Rihanna career is distinct, she found her own lane. Any form of influence that you might think Britney has can be traced back to Madonna and Janet. So if you remove Britney, nothing changes. Say what you may about her talent, but Rihanna is one of the most distinct pop star of this century and is a bigger influence to today female pop stars than Britney

It's Beyonce sweetie and it's not even debatable. You can only make an argument for Taylor.

ATRL truly live in a bubble because this is the only place that people would say Britney. In the real world, it's Rihanna and it's not even close.

Beyoncé has been the GP's Illuminati poster child for decades. Why?
The untouchable Goddess backlash has always been rooted in misogyny where women are expected to be humble. Michael Jackson, Prince, Messi, Ronaldo, Pre-cancelled Kanye, were all placed on God level pedestal and I don't see the public complain. Even the so-called relatability and fan interactions, it's usually expected from MPGs while the men get a pass at living a private life if they want.. The likes of Bruno Mars and Eminem were very successful at their peak with little to no fan acknowledgement. They just drop their music and move on.

Has Ariana surpassed the previous gen of MPGs?
Gaga is definitely more iconic than Ariana and I don't see that changing anytime soon if at all. Gaga is an incredible performer and just because Ariana isn't doesn't mean it is not part of Gaga's legacy /artistry. Gaga has so many iconic moments in pop culture while Ariana career actually feels non eventful outside of the charts and sales .

Best female music videos of all time
Bad romance and single ladies for me. Formation was the better video but Single ladies is just more iconic. I wish Beyonce could just go back to releasing music videos on YouTube instead of Prioritising profit by selling it to streaming platform. Black is king was so good but the limited access to it reduce its iconic-ness.

Is Megan Thee Stallion a fad?
The hot girl sh*t got boring and repetitive. The sad part is she has lots of hidden gems in her discography but people just assume she talks about the same all the time due to her single choices and almost all her music videos aesthetic, so they stop checking for her.

Is ATRL biased against artists they don't like?
I compared Jay Z infidelity reaction to Ariana Grande's. Talked about the quick cancellation of men accused of rape with no room for possibility of false cancellation . You don't have to agree with me, you could have shared your perspective at least but the fact that you engaged the post with nothing meaningful to say actually makes you the stupid one not me.
