i love the chemistry all of them have

ATRL has been flooded with threats talked about the so-called underperformance of Dua Lipa's new album, with creative titles such as "what went wrong??" and "what's next for dua???". Do you think its possible that atrl is actually underestimating dua's star power and she will have much bigger opening week than expected?

Both are their most underrated singles but which bubblegum pop single do you prefer?

Which third album/era is the biggest?

I feel like all the hype and talk went to Taylor and her album and non for Duas Radical Optimism? The timing of her release really hurt her comeback don't you think? discuss

Any nepo babies that fumbled ? How does your dad found Motown Records, sign literal legends and you do this ? Any other examples ?

Nepo baby - Wikipedia Wikipedia defines Nepo Baby as: Nepo baby, short for nepotism baby, is a term referring to celebrities whose parents have succeeded in the same careers. The implication is that, because their parents already had connections to an industry, the child was able to use those connections to build a career in that industry. Is your fave a nepo baby? Or did they give birth to a nepo baby?

Both songs have been going viral on TikTok and managed to chart on the BBH100. Dua's highly anticipated lead single has amassed 400m streams, while GaGa's sixth single from over a decade ago just surpassed 500m. Now that Dua's album has released, ATRL weighs in: is Houdini the more impactful and bigger song?

(Originally "You're My Only Shawty". Even the change makes me physically cringe considering who's singing it. )

Celine Dion and Katy Perry went from looking like this:

Everyone talking about the numbers, irdgaf, let's take a moment and talk about the MUSIC Can we take a moment and APPRECIATE the artistic growth she's made when it comes to choosing album closers? This is MILES AHEAD of Boys Will Be Boys and Homesick. This is a BEAUTIFUL moment, the reference to Anwar

Two timeless tracks, Spice Girls' "Goodbye" and Avril Lavigne's "When You're Gone," stand out as dignified pop ballads, frequently chosen to accompany final goodbyes. "Goodbye," penned as a tribute to their departed bandmate Geri Halliwell, carries a tender resonance, its lyrics a bittersweet ode to loss and gratitude. Conversely, "When You're Gone" marked a pivotal shift for Lavigne, unveiling a more vulnerable and mature facet of her artistry during the Girlfriend era. Both songs, despite their differing origins and contexts, share a common thread of emotional depth and sincerity. As mourners seek solace in music's embrace, the choice between these two masterful compositions poses a poignant question: which resonates more profoundly as the ultimate funeral pop ballad?

I'm not even trying to be shady How the f*ck she debuts with 15.8M streams? How the f*ck RO does half of what FN did, despite she being more popular now and having a bigger following? What exactly did Dua and her team do wrong? How did they destroy all the hype?

My prediction 60k-70k full week . She needs a deluxe version

Would you say your favorite girlie has a wide range of topics represented in their discogaphies? Or do they have their niche and stick to it? Madonna, for example, has songs that cover: Domestic violence (Til Death Do Us Part) Loss/death (Mer Girl, Mother and Father, Promise to Try) AIDS (In This Life) Neglect/trauma (Oh Father, Live to Tell) Ballroom culture (Vogue) Motherhood (Little Star) Fame (Hollywood, Drowned World) Teenage pregnancy/abortion/adoption (Papa Don't Preach) Materialism (Material Girl, American Life) Divorce (Love Spent, Best Friend, Miles Away) Aging (Falling Free, This Used to Be My Playground) Self-reflection (X-Static Process) Coming out (Deeper and Deeper) Love (Love Profusion, True Blue, Angel, Beautiful Stranger, etc.) Sex (Where Life Begins, Best Night, Erotica, Justify My Love, etc.) Family (Keep It Together) Homophobia/racism (Why's It So Hard?) Janet Jackson: Infidelity (Son of a Gun, You Ain't Right, This Time) Domestic violence/abuse (What About, Lessons Learned) Racism/homophobia (Rhythm Nation, New Agenda, Free Xone) Bisexuality (Tonight's the Night) Depression (You, Empty, Better Days) Loss/death (Together Again, Broken Hearts Heal) Love (Miss You Much, Love Will Never Do, Because of Love, etc.) Sex (Moist, Warmth, That's the Way Love Goes, Throb, etc.) Masturbation (If) Empowerment (Control, Can't Be Stopped) Drug abuse (Black Cat) Social injustice (State of the World, Black Eagle, Livin' in a World They Didn't Make, Shoulda Known Better)

DL3 is over, done for and making zero noise, are you ready for the "real comeback" with DL4? And what do you want/expect from Dua for DL4?

Imagine an album full of this type of songs:

Two powerhouse vocal besties with a pen that cuts, who both saw the ghost of Rebekah Harkness. Which introspective and reflective album about the dark times we live in is better?

MASSEDUCTION - 88/100 Daddy's Home - 85/100 All Born Screaming - 89/100 Cruel Summer - Enduring global smash Obsessed - Rising smash Did Annie Clark set the bar too high?

What is your fav line in the song? One of her best lyrics in my opinion I'M HAVING HIS BABYYYYYYYY at 5:20 The delivery of that line is just Miss Swift can EMOTE

I'm not talking about the music but just about her image. I think the video of New Rules is the main reason that song (and her career) exploded. She was serving indie looking girl making commercial and generic big pop music. I think her appeal was that and what made her "different" as brand between the other big pop girls around. Then the girl give us nothing meme happened and she turned more and more in a sort of pop performer with visuals and staging very generic and already seen million times. Like the kinda of performance the 80% of every act on the Eurovision stage can make. She went from having that "different girl vibe" to be dragged on reviews for having no personality and being "just an instagram model". I think it was a bad idea going from generic music to being generic also in the way she presents herself and the music. She made the biggest mistake you can make: trying to be interesting for the GP (gay) men stucked in the 2001. So shoud Dua going back to her roots and old big eyebrows?

Well it's official, Radical Optimism is a devastating bomb. After the hype of Future Nostalgia, it failed to crack more than 16m streams. How can Dua recover? What direction should she try for her next album? What can be done?

Willow did that
