...amongst the other rap/R&B girlies? The "FEFE" artist seems to not be friendly with any of the main rap or R&B girls, who are all friendly with and have collabed with each other. Why is this? Lizzo, Megan, SZA are all friendly with each other and all of them are friendly with AND have collabed with Cardi. Doja is friends with SZA, and was friendly with Megan (idk what their status is now). Doja and Cardi aren't friends but have spoken positively about one another. Even the lower-tier girls: Normani is friendly with Megan, SZA, and Lizzo, and has collabed with Cardi. Latto has collabed with Megan and Cardi, opened for Lizzo and has received praise from SZA. Now Nicki has collabed with many of the above, but she actively dislikes Cardi, Latto, and Megan. Nicki seems to be in a Cold War with Doja, and has she even acknowledged Normani after Wild Side? not that there's much to acknowledge So the question is: why is Nicki unable to maintain friendships with other girls in the industry whereas someone like Cardi is friends/friendly with everyone?

base talk Can Taylor get two #1 hits with Tortured Poets Department like Ariana?
Bethenny Frankel posted a topic in Base
Ari has gotten two #1 hits with Yes, And? and now We Can't Be Friends (Wait For Your Love) in her "flop era" with Eternal Sunshine. Can Taylor do the same thing? She has not gotten more than one #1 hit in an era since 1989, which is crazy to think about honestly. -

base talk Timothée Chalamet makes history and is box office elixir. Surprised?
Taeyong posted a topic in Base
Timothée Chalamet Makes History with the Two Top-Grossing Movies of the Last Eight Months We haven't seen that happen since the early days of John Travolta. “Dune” joined WB’s “Wonka” as the second film to pass the domestic $200 million total since last July. By next weekend, it will surpass that film’s $218 million gross. Timothée Chalamet has achieved something that no actor has done in a long time. With “Wonka” and “Dune 2,” he has the lead the the top two domestic grossing films over the last eight months. That is, to put it mildly, rare. Checking back, we can’t find anyone who can claim that (as a lead in a live-action film, as opposed to ensemble Marvel casts) to accomplish that since John Travolta did it for “Saturday Night Fever” and “Grease” in the late 1970s. Even with caveats (for “Dune” in particular he’s part of a larger cast, against limited competition), that’s an impressive achievement. Movie stars who deliver box office are in short supply https://variety.com/2024/film/box-office/dune-2-box-office-milestone-400-million-1235944137/ ‘Dune: Part Two’ Nears $500 Million at Global Box Office, Surpasses Entire Run of First Film “Dune: Part Two” is barreling toward another box office milestone. Director Denis Villeneuve’s science-fiction sequel has grossed $494.7 million globally, including $208 million in North America and $289.4 million internationally. It should surpass the $500 million mark by Monday, a figure that few films have reached in post-pandemic times. Although it’s early in the year, “Dune 2” is currently the highest-grossing film of 2024 at the domestic and worldwide box office. After 10 days on the big screen, “Part Two” surpassed the entire domestic tally of the first film ($108 million), although it’s worth noting that the benchmark comes with a major caveat. The original 2021 film was released simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max, so its ticket sales were stifled by the hybrid release on streaming. Now, the follow-up film has outgrossed its predecessor, which generated $433 million at the worldwide box office. -
Is there anything more painful on the charts than peaking at #2? These songs tried so hard and got so far, but in the end, it didn't even matter — to paraphrase just one of the many iconic hits that couldn't quite make it to the apex of the Billboard Hot 100. So let's give them a shot at redemption in this latest edition of the annual tournament you've all been waiting for. Yes, it's that time again! As college basketball fever sweeps the nation, we here at ATRL turn to what we do best: pitting celebrities against one another. We've already crowned the most indispensable cover, the most scene-stealing guest verse, the most legendary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, the dreamiest song by a teen idol, the supreme girl group track, the most bloody brilliant British single, the most iconic album cover, Oscar's gold standard Best Original Song, our favorite female video, the one-hit wonder we'll never tire of, the best Record of the Year winner, the greatest #1 hit of all time and Hollywood's hottest hottie. For our 14th (!) contest, we're providing music history's most famous runners-up an opportunity to finally come out on top. Throughout the tournament, everyone will have a chance to participate by voting for their favorite #2 hits in one-on-one match-ups, whittling down the field of 64 songs until we reach our champion. But I need your help before we can begin! Please nominate your list of ten favorites that just missed the Hot 100 summit (no ranking necessary) in the thread below. These ballots will be used to determine the final list of competitors and help decide their tournament seeds. Now get to it, because the fun begins in a few days and you don't want your picks to be left out!

With the rise of the streaming era, many popstars have been critiqued for having eras that are too short. Some even having eras that essentially end with the release of the album (like Chromatica and Positions). But what are some examples of eras that lasted too long? Where the concepts and ideas became exhausted, where the promo no longer produces benefit for the albums, where continued activity even harms the artists reputation and success? I think a great example of this is 1989. The first 5 singles are certified all-time smashes. She reached her peak, was universally beloved, and was by far the most visible musician in years or even decades. However, as the 5th single, Wildest Dreams, wound down its run, Taylor made the decision to push Out of The Woods as the albums 6th single. At this point she had wrapped up her tour and was approaching the Grammy awards where she was widely expected to be successful (and of course, was). As we know, succesful female pop artists face the risk of being overexposed, and after 3 #1s, a top 5, a top 10, the biggest video of the year, the biggest album of the year, and the biggest tour of the year, Taylor was certainly getting there. As she chugged along with OOTW and subsequent single New Romantics, her commercial performance dropped drastically, she received major flack for her AOTY win, and of course was completely "cancelled" during the Kanye Famous drama. Would not releasing singles have prevented all of this? Probably not. But continuing to push the era as the public grew tired of her definitely made it worse.

On March 17th 2014, Cher Lloyd released “Sirens” as the second and final single from her sophomore effort ‘Sorry I’m Late’. It failed to see commercial success unfortunately. It didn’t even crack the top 40 in her native UK. But the song received critical acclaim and praise from Cher’s industry peer Leigh Anne Pinnock. Dare I say her most underrated single ? This deserved to smash everywhere around the world

The lead single "yes, and?" was not embraced by Ariana's usual fans... my sister who loves Ariana's music was unmoved. Her next single is "we can't be friends (wait for your love)", do you think she'll see more success? I'm always rooting for Ariana.

base talk Dua one of very few pop girls with a year-end #1 song. Why?
PoisonPill posted a topic in Base
Dua Lipa is one of the few pop girls ever to have a Billboard Year-End #1 song to her name. The last one was Kesha in 2010, then Mariah in 2005 and then Cher in 1999. Why have so few female pop artists have been able to achieve this milestone? Who do you think will in the future? -
