Is this the worst MV ever released by a pop girl?
she thought it was channelling a 15 year old on capcut

Has Dua Lipa reached her ceiling?
depends how good the material is. if it's lacklustre like RO then yes. but if she has something great then it could end up being her biggest hit. i think she'll always be relevant as a celebrity and legacy act even if she stops being able to get news hits. she and her catalogue are very well liked among the gp

Why does every UK pop girl sound like this now?
It's funny you mention it because I looked at Polydor's roster like a week ago and it was entirely Interscope/Geffen artists they do distribution for in the UK + a small number of their legacy artists like Girls Aloud + nobodies. I think the only answer is UK record labels have run out of ideas and are staffed from top to bottom by incompetent people. Polydor wouldn't let Raye release anything, then she smashed as soon as she broke free from them, now they're copying the sound she went with for her second album with Skye Newman They have no idea what they're doing with any of their signed artists so just make them imitate other already established acts. Once every 5-10 years a UK record label might break through a new British artist like Dua Lipa, but other than that they are a complete waste of time and space. They're too far gone and I won't be surprised when they're all eventually subsumed by their corresponding US labels, with just one Universal label, one Sony label, and one Warner label each focussed on signing and developing UK talent.

Why does this 11-week Billboard Top 5 song only have 169m streams on Spotify?
I would've expected more than 169,596,901 streams for a multi-week Billboard Hot 100 #1 that has spent its entire chart run in the top five and was featured in the latest instalment of a beloved children's movie franchise.

serena joy bombed, why?
It could be worse. She could've released a heavily promoted single for one of the biggest movies of 2026 and no one would move except the bots on Deezer and Pandora.

serena joy bombed, why?
You would have to be illiterate to miss the statement it makes. I know we're all still waiting on another artist to make a statement on a certain issue though, AbracadaBer

serena joy bombed, why?
From Friday to Sunday it was only available as 500 CD copies from one record store. It was eventually put on streaming halfway through Monday. If she cared about maintaining the streak of all her songs charting on the Hot 100 then she wouldn't have done that. Neither Serena Joy nor purple (happy version) were intended to be hits. Their purpose was to add to the money raised by Daisy Chain Fields and, with the former, make a political statement.

Cheryl to join The Voice UK 2027 as coach, Alesha Dixon as co-host
I disagree. I'm a fan of both and there really isn't much between their voices. They are both weak vocalists and so rely on talk-singing during live performances – hell, even the studio version of The Boy Does Nothing is in that style. Alesha's voice is slightly more powerful, Cheryl's tone is slightly warmer/less tinny. I wouldn't reduce Cheryl's solo success just to X Factor and tabloid attention either. When other artists joined X Factor UK or when The Voice UK was at its peak, none of them saw anything near the same amount of success from the same/a very similar platform. And there have been countless attempts at solo careers by British former girl group members who were regularly reported on, but none matched Cheryl's success again. When X Factor was still on air, The Voice's USP was strong vocalists, but now it's the only singing talent show and having looked up some of the winners of the last few series, they definitely aren't all powerhouses. The blind auditions are only the first part of the show, after which that gimmick falls away and having star quality comes back into play.

Eli accused of hypocrisy for "Eat the Rich" statement at Daisy Chain Festival
Someone else said on Twitter that her parents don't support her (either financially or in her transition) so idk Very occasionally you do get people who come from wealthy backgrounds who wake up to the fact that working class people are exploited in every way, to the extent that they die sooner and live less happy/satisfied lives. I don't think she should be criticised for being one of them. She put her money where her mouth is anyway because $15k is a significant donation for a small artist
