Calling each other gay on every single one of these diss tracks. Like, shut up and get a room.

i love the chemistry all of them have

Lemme start Jack Antonoff (Always the Same production tricks. Always recycling ideas ZzZzZ. Always the same basic Synthpop) Oren Yoel (Urban producer makin a Country Record) Pharrell (Amazing songs and genre experimentation from Shakira but the production feels a bit cheap/like demos/songs badly cutted) He was good with the Neptunes but some of his pop productions definitely feel very simplistic-amateurish. Shakira was not the only victim of Pharrell Your turn. Post yours

It seems pretty likely that no one is unseating Taylor Swift from the #1 slot at this point. But what about 2nd place? With the onslaught of albums by popular female artists this year, who do you think will eventually end up with the biggest female album of the year after 'TTPD'?

The decline from Katy's Prism to Witness was a 90% decline (and a long break of 4 years between releases) It's been over 4 years since Dua released Future Nostalgia to Radical Optimism. The album debuted with 16M Spotify streams. Is the break to blame?

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

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?

In the last 10 years, Shakira has focused on Spanish-language music. This has brought her huge success and has allowed her to remain relevant even with new competition like Karol G, Rosalía, and Becky G, but I feel like it has turned her into another local america's star when she's more than that Releasing collaborations with the trendy reggaeton artists and predictable music to make hits. Also, Shakira has lost a lot of power in Europe and other parts of the World because Spanish-language music is only successful in the majority of the Americas-The States. Is harder for Spanish songs to get top chart positions in Europe-Asia-Africa-Oceania If y'll check karol g is massive but her songs rarely chart big in Europe Non-english music also get less hype from the American Media-Stan Community Honestly, I miss Shakira's English music a lot. In Spanish, we already know what to expect from Shakira (reggaeton, bachata, Mexican....). But in English, she used to be more inventive and always explored new things-experimented with her songs. It gave her the opportunity to explore more territories, to be more edgy. More intellectual too Sadly so many in the Anglo world are not appreciative of her english music. Yll pay her dust. I know her latest songs in English weren't good (Dont Wait Up/Dont You Worry/Girl Like Me), but you have to consider that they were made by very bad or mid producers: William (Britney Jean/Manjobi) Kirpatrick (Matches By Britney/Radical Optimism/Sixteen By Ellie Goulding/Look at Her Now by Selena/You By Miley Cyrus). Honestly, I feel like Shakira should drop the rock and electropop She's too focused on those worlds and they dont bring good things for her commercially wise Shakira should go back to world music songs-latin cocktails in English (most of her hits are ). Also, explore more R&B, Arabic music, and dancehall. Disco music too The sound-vibe of the "She Wolf" album. This is the direction her career should take?? Agree with me or not? Are u here for Shakira going back to english? Is Shakira limiting herself releasing music in only one language? Imagine Shakira career without Whenever Whenever-Hips-Waka Waka-She Wolf.........

do you think the fact that Dua doesn't have an ATRL banner contributed to her poor sales? I think so

Is this just because of Prisoner? Or what is it? Smilers are FIRST in line on Twitter to hate on anything that Dua does. It's so extremely confusing Miley and Dua aren't even peers. Miley had a whole succesful career a DECADE before Dua even took off. Why are they not picking fights with Demi and Selena who are Miley's actual peers??

Part II

Sabrina is having a great year with her soon to be smash hit 'Espresso', an undoubtedly bubblegum pop release Dua is seeing the greatest underperformance of her career w her new album, including the first three singles off it Has the GP moved on from her to Sabrina? Is there only space for 1 pop girl darling? Should Dua fight back and sabotage Sabrina?

Spill the tea, sis Please don't downvote comments (unless they are insulting or breaking the rules). This is a safe space

Do you agree?

Oh sweetheart put the bottle down, cause you don't wanna miss out Released as the 2nd single of her "All I Ever Wanted" era it became the 2nd of 3 top 20 singles of the era peaking at #20 in the USA and #9 in Australia and #8 on Pop Radio Katy's Version:

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?

Which third album/era is the biggest?

Both are unpopular and there were better single choices that should have been a single instead of these two.

Willow did that

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?

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?
