Adele has the best discography for me. Not nearly as varied as the others, but her highs are just about a high as anyone else on the list, without everyone else's deep lows. Christina easily has the worst discography, no contest.

This thread is just full of everyone saying Billboard's formula is terrible. Then every single person giving a completely different opinion of what the only good formula should be. Very similar to the discourse around Grammy winners and many other topics.

Adele had arguably the biggest peak of all time. Eminem's peak was obviously one of the biggest ever as well. I voted Adele for bigger peak.

Ed Sheeran was absolutely massive at his peak, definitely among the biggest peaks of all time. But yeah Eminem's peak eclipsed Ed by quite a margin.

Let me say that I'm someone who watches aviation accident and disaster-related videos regularly and who listens to ATC recordings during the ordeal, including in cases when pilots know they're going to die. This recording shook me to my core like no other record ever has, and it's not even close. So painful to listen to, I didn't even finish. I'm so sorry for that the pilot and the passengers had to go through in those finals moments.

A legendary album by a legendary band. So happy this went #1.

It cannot truly be that serious.

What an amazing era this was.

They've all been very successful throughout their careers. Selena has always had an ear for enduring hits. Miley and Demi are currently making some of the best music of their careers. All three are queens.

Cool for the Summer and some other 4

Into You and Cool for the Summer are phenomenal songs.

Which decades are you speaking of? If it's the past 30 or so years where China has managed to maintain their rate of economic development at a stage where comparable economies have petered out, it's very arguable that it was a conditional embrace of the free market and an opening up of the economy that has allowed that to happen. Also, the term "fixed" is so subjective. Many could very easily arguable that China is no more "fixed" today than the US is. Who's going to force them to educate themselves? What do we do while we wait for that to happen?

You're absolutely correct on that. And that fact actually backs up my point and works directly against yours. Appealing to half of the Democratic base and pushing away the entire "average voter" population cannot be the strategy to win elections. Whether or not the average voter understands the nuances (or even the just surface) of the policies, positions and keywords they're voting for doesn't change the fact that they're going to vote a certain way.

Yeah but you're picking and choosing which polls to show in your OP to back up your views to a mostly already converted group of ATRLers who bother to even read your threads for these exact reasons. The same set of polling also found that Americans overwhelmingly prefer a free market system and have a much higher net favourable view of capitalism than socialism. As a matter of fact, I think these polls are showing a less favourite view of the term "socialism" than what I've seen from some other polls, which is kinda disappointing.

How would streaming represent what's "current" (relatively new) if people are streaming older songs? Are you saying streaming should represent something other than what people are streaming?
