Boom Boom Pow spent 12 weeks at no. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, topped the Billboard Hot 100 year-end chart for 2009 and was #7 on the decade-end chart for the 2000's + #51 on the all-time chart. I decided to listen to the song after a loooooooooong time and after it finished I got myself questioning why was this song such a smash back then. Don't get me wrong, I love this song! But it sounds so different from the other songs on the charts at the time. The production on the verses are very minimalistic, the chorus is very simple and the beat only really kicks in during the bridge. But somehow the GP said YES and the song became a huge hit. Why was that? Is this song a reflection of the sound back then? Or is the fact this sounds different from everything else on the radio at the time the reason why the GP was perched? Does external factors like BEP visuals and Fergie's charisma (she ate her verse tbh) also contribute to the smashery of this song? Discuss

Not necessarily a break up album but moreso taylor alluding to the break up, which happened in april of this year. Lavender Haze starts as the beginning of their love story where Taylor mentions she wants to stay in the phase of their relationship where everything went well. Maroon is another love song about her and Joe, discussing their romantic relationship further. Then Anti-Hero discusses how she feels that her fame will always be bigger than their relationship and she struggles with the idea of her celebrity status being a barricade within the relationship. Then You’re on Your Own, Kid is a reflection on her own narrative and that she feels like she is alone and possibly struggled with relying on Joe? Snow on the Beach, Midnight Rain and Question discuss the incapabilities and differences between her and Joe (he was sunshine i was midnight rain, like snow on the beach, good girl, sad boy big city wrong choices). On Bejeweled she discusses that she doesn’t need Joe to shine and will be well off without him regardless. She sings “and when I meet the band (The 1975) and ask if i have a man, i can still say i dont remember…possibly about Matty chile..👀 Then eventually on Labyrinth she discusses that the love between her and Joe is like a labyrinth and comes with many complications… which concludes us to Sweet Nothing. “They say the end is coming, all you ever wanted from me was sweet nothing” On Mastermind, she actually predicts and pre-calculates the ending of the relationship based on all the songs on midnights. Its like a chronological story where she alludes the break up… which is why taylor marketed midnights as a concept album of “thirtheen sleepless nights” Sleepless nights about her break up with JOE! What do you think chilee

Arguably the biggest pop boys in the LATAM / Spain region during the 80's, 90's and even early 2000's. But who was bigger, hotter, more global? Ricky Martin: (Puerto Rico) Chayanne: (Puerto Rico) Luis Miguel: (Mexico) Enrique Iglesias: (Spain)

Anyone else feel this way? Within the stan world all everyone talks about is concerts/touring On TikTok, every single video last year was of Harry/Coldplay's tour, this year its a constant load of updates on Taylor's tour It's too much, it's overexposed. It feels overbearing to hear about and see videos of concerts so much It's even a stan argument now, your fave's concert wasn't viral on TikTok like ____'s tour is Is it getting tedious for anybody else?

I've seen a lot of people trying to pit Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga against the other but the question is: can YOUR fav actually tour stadiums? Free shows or opening acts don't count, show proof EDIT: no festivals allowed either Mine:

Imagine if a song like this was given TWICE A sensual bop and lowkey the best song of this subgenre of kpop at the time

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH - YOU WERE MY STREEEEEENGTH vs YOU DONT HAVE TO GO TA WOOOORK -NOOO-OOOH

even though the band was VERY fractured at this point following the fatal trip to London in 1967 they reunited to record their fourth album and one based in psychedelia with a song that many consider to be their best (Twelve Thirty) Many of you may remember it from the soundtrack of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood by Tarantino Their harmonies are LEGENDARY. So sad to think they'd officially split so soon after and Cass Elliot/Mama Cass would pass away just six years later. some other highlights: The album was released in May 1968.

Ever since Bey performed Heated at the tour I can’t stop listening to the song. I thought I was tired of it but it turns out all it needed was a little promo. so I have to say ajay can drag renaissance all she wants but she’s clearly lacking some taste when it comes to this bop. Not every song has to have some deep lyrics. what do you guys think? Was ajay wrong about heated? is heated the best song on renaissance?

As in social media relevance and hype goes It has hit me that I dont remember seeing anyone talking about it. While I've even seen people talking about Adele's which is just a vegas residency at that. Taylor and Bey just started their tours and everyone is talking about theirs. What could be the reason for this cuz I'm confused? Tiktok hashtags(all related # 100m+) views: Chromatica Ball - 500M Renaissance Tour - 600M Weekends With Adele - 1.3B The Eras Tour - 20.4B

Pop perfection

Better than Rich girl

One of the best pop songs of the 2010's imo. This is the type of song Pharrell should have given Ariana for Sweetener.

who are the front-runners for the Best New Artist at the Grammys next year?

What is the main reason?

Read someone label 'Cupid' as the biggest K-pop phenomenon since 'Gangnam Style'. Thoughts? Lettuce know

One of the most underrated MPG pop albums. This album has the best bonus tracks of her career imo
