Both girlies delivered an experimental album. Which one was difficult to connect to?

For years stans and haters alike acknowledged that Taylor's biggest accomplishment was her remarkable consistency. After Taylor's astonishing 2023 (the biggest tour of all time, largest music consumption year ever, Time's Person of the Year, and a shocking amount of media attention), many began to think Taylor's peak might also be the biggest of all time outright. This morning, Taylor's TTPD debuted with over 100 million more streams than the previous all-time record holder (her own Midnights). The album is expected to debut with numbers thought to be literally impossible just a few years ago because of music industry transitions. Next month, Taylor restarts the largest tour in history and will surely clench a new collection of all-time records in the coming weeks. She is doing this well into her 30s, bucking traditional career trajectories. Has Taylor successfully achieved the largest single peak ever? If not her, who?

The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology by Taylor Swift and Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera represent a rarity amongst pop stars: the double album. Which one do you prefer? vs.

Both are my favorite from the new albums, which one is your?

Let me preface by saying I like a lot of the album. However, it's not fully clicking w me and I couldn't figure out why. Then I realized this was literally the album I was asking for after Folklore + Evermore, and I was so disappointed that Midnights was a return to the pop sound when it first came out (although now I'm liking it better than TTPD bc I'm used to it. When Midnights first released, I even swapped in the orchestral and acoustic versions of songs, to make it more stripped down and Folklorevermore sounding). If TTPD had come out right after Folklorevermore (and then we had gotten SNTV, 1989TV, and Midnights now) would this album be more palatable?

Two giants, two massive albums... Which one takes the crown?

In the months leading up to the release of Ariana Grande's seventh studio album, Eternal Sunshine, she was plagued by controversy surrounding her relationship with Ethan Slater (SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical). However, the album was very well-received and is continuing to perform well commercially a month on. It also feels like much of the online vitriol towards her has faded away since its release. So, did Eternal Sunshine redeem Ariana Grande in the eyes of the GP after Spongegate, or was the scandal never as big a deal as ATRL made it seem? Discuss.

I'm undecisive tbh.

Jack Antonoff has been the popular 'go to' producer of choice for several MPG's and also various alt. leaning female artists for several years now. He has worked with various illustrious industry heavyweights including Taylor, Lana, Lorde and St Vincent. Objectively there appears to be a consensus that the Aaron Dessner produced tracks from Taylor's brand new magnum opus "The Tortured Poets Department", are of better quality and generally have a greater repeat playability factor than the Jack Antonoff produced tracks. Entirely separately from Taylor's new album, Lorde was asked to change things up by her label UMG after the perceived underperformance of her Jack Antonoff produced third studio album "Solar Power" and as a result he is not involved with her fourth as she seeks to revitalise her commercial fortunes. For a long time many Lana fans were happy with the ongoing creative partnership between Lana and Jack but as time passes her fanbase have become steadily more critical of Jack's work and a growing (no longer insignificant) proportion of her fanbase are increasingly voicing concern about Jack. Many of you will have listened to at least one (or more) of the aforementioned artists and by volition of that, their work with Jack which in some cases spans several era's of your fave's career. What is your opinion of Jack's more recent production work? In your view has it got better, worse or stayed the same?

So, I've just finished listening to Taylor's Anthology and I can't help but feel like I didn't experience anything new here. There was a lot of hype about this being a breakup album and her serving us up some classics; however it seemed like the same sounds packaged with her typical relationship tropes about how bad/disappointing the man is and how silly she is for believing in him and that it could work. I'm not entirely sure what I expected but I found it quite a bizarre experiece to be excited to listen to an hour(s) long album and then leave it feeling like nothing particularly new had been offered to me. Did anyone else feel the same way? Does it change with more listening?

I kinda feel bad for Joe It seem like he got an album dragging him and he just left because he didn't feel loved anymore. I get the feeling Taylor was too busy with her career and he just didn't get the same ammount of attention amymore. It's also clear that they really loved each other so it's just sad.

Jesy Nelson and JoJo Siwa have both been mocked and ridiculed online during a stark image rebrand and the launch of their music careers, but which was worse? Jesy collaborated with Nicki Minaj on a P Diddy sample, and came under fire for blackfishing and cultural appropriation. She also went on instagram live while Nicki took aim at her former band mates. Of course we can't forget her much maligned and meme'd Capital Jingle Bell Ball performance of her new song. Jojo had an extensive marketing campaign leading up to the release of her single, only to release a Disney channel/kids bop song. She's since gone on to say she's pioneering "gay pop" and has had various other interview clips go viral. Lastly, the song she released was a demo from years ago and the original singer's version has since gone viral. So, in your opinion, who fumbled the bag harder? To be clear, I'm not asking your opinion on the music, but the launch of their career as a whole and the subsequent backlash.
