the way this has a lot of potential makes me wonder if you know any unreleased song that has/had the SMASH tag since it’s first second

#6. Folklore, Taylor Swift - 17 countries #7. Future Nostalgia, Dua Lipa - 15 countries #8. Renaissance, Byyocne - 11 countries #9. Positions, Ariana Grande - 10 countries #10. Evermore, Taylor Swift - 10 countries Thoughts?

Drake and Taylor have become omnipresent in the release cycles of their musical works. Both have released 3 studio albums within this decade with a sprinkling of rerecordings and single droplets along the way. However, with Drake it seems like the more he releases his numbers become stagnated and even decline at times while with Taylor she only grows stronger and stronger to the point that not even Drake himself can compete with her in his (and her) home market North America while Taylor effortlessly destroys in other non Anglo markets. Is it because Drake's rollouts almost all seem samey and blend to the point that the GP are getting tired while Taylor always has a unique brand to each of her eras bar folkmore? (which had evermore acting as an extension to folklore)

Dua Lipa and Olivia Rodrigo are both expected to drop new albums in 2023, the folow ups of their previous smash albums Future Nostalgia and Sour Which project will be more successful?

YEAR-END CHARTS Hot 100 Artists 2022 #1 Bad Bunny #2 Doja Cat #3 Harry Styles #4 Ed Sheeran #5 Morgan Wallen Source The only female artist in the top 5. A hitmaker!

manifest it, I finesse it

On Spotify, amassing the most streams for a female hit? according to atrl Camila is a racist flop. What went right?

I know I am!

If they announce a reunion tour in a year 1-2, come back to this thread A lot of #tbt boybands like New Kids on the Block, Boyz II Men & Backstreet Boys still regularly perform together, whether by touring or doing Vegas residencies. But *NSYNC has yet to publicly reunite ever, and those men ain’t getting any younger. They wouldn’t even need to record new music, those girls and gays would buy tickets with or without it. JT is not as successful in his solo career as he used to be and the reunion would give him a lil fresh positive public image boost (he needs rn imo). Is it surprising to you they have not done a reunion tour yet?

First day Spotify streams: Stupid Love - 5.651.690 Break My Soul - 5.463.454 In reality, the unfiltered streams are what actually count towards charts. Not bad for a bomb that leaked 5 weeks before release

pretty self-explanatory, post songs that you've really enjoyed this year which you doubt will receive the recognition you think they deserve. can be deep cuts/non-singles, underrated singles, songs by obscure artists, demos, etc. among others lol

#1 Taylor - Midnight #2 Rosalia - Motomami #3 Beyoncé - Renaissance

LEGACY and IMPACT •Jackson wanted to create an album where "every song was a killer". He was frustrated by albums that would have "one good song, and the rest were like B-sides ... Why can't every one be like a hit song? Why can't every song be so great that people would want to buy it if you could release it as a single? ... That was my purpose for the next album." •Recording took place from April to November 1982 at Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles, California, with a budget of $750,000. •Thriller became Jackson's first number-one album on the US BB200, where it spent a record 37 non-consecutive weeks at number one, from February 26, 1983, to April 14, 1984. •It has gained Diamond certifications in Argentina, Canada, Denmark, France, Mexico and the UK. Thriller sells an estimated 130,000 copies in the US per year. •Seven singles were released: They all reached the top 10 on the US Hot 100 chart, setting a record for the most top 10 singles from an album. •Following Jackson's performance of "Billie Jean" in the Motown 25television special, where he debuted his signature moonwalk dance, the sales of the album significantly increased, selling one million copies worldwide per week. •The "Thriller" music video was premiered to great anticipation in December 1983 and played regularly on MTV, which also increased the sales. •With 32 million copies sold worldwide by the end of 1983, Thriller became the best-selling album of all time. •It was the best-selling album of 1983 worldwide, and in 1984 it became the first album to become the best-selling in the United States for two years. •It set industry standards with its songs, music videos, and promotional strategies influencing artists, record labels, producers, marketers, and choreographers. •The success gave Jackson an unprecedented level of cultural significance for a black American, breaking racial barriers in popular music, earning him regular airplay on MTV and leading to a meeting with US President Ronald Reagan at the White House. •Thriller was among the first albums to use music videos as promotional tools; the videos for "Billie Jean", "Beat It" and "Thriller" are credited for transforming music videos into a serious art form. •Thriller remains the best-selling album of all time, with sales of 70 million copies worldwide. •It won a record-breaking eightGrammy Awards at the 1984 Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, while "Beat It" won Record of the Year. •In the same year, the Library of Congress added it to the National Recording Registry of "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant recordings". •His attorney John Branca observed that Jackson achieved the highest royalty rate in the music industry to that point: approximately $2 (US$5.22 in 2021 dollars for each album sold.

When they broke up they only had 9 million!

The effortless storytelling succinctly weaving through several phases of her life, and managing to tell her full story in a unique way after 10 albums The classic Swiftian lyrical flip of "Just to learn that you never cared" / "my dreams aren't rare" The beautiful mystery of lines like "so long Daisy Mae" Her delivery of "you're on your own kid, you always have been" sounding wistfully heartbreaking in the first chorus, but being more resolved and self-assured by the last The production eschewing ballad tropes, driving home the intensity of her life events in the bridge with percussive and weird synth flourishes that make it more of this vibe: The melancholy acceptance at the end that you'll really only have yourself at the end of your life but you can face it because of what you've been through It hits even harder when you remember she's had to deal with the closest person in her life getting cancer and being forced to grapple with what life will be like when she's no longer here

The straights don't normally care about pop girls so this is a big deal. 75,000 upvotes.

Who are the artists you got messages from for Spotify Wrapped? I got Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Thomas Rhett, Brothers Osborne, and Carrie Underwood. Daft Punk was my top artist but they disbanded so nothing from Lana either even though she was my other top artist.

I was told Twice (Nation’s FAD) were nowadays only local to Japan. This year they had as many korean comebacks as another certain girl group that locals and twitter gays under PopCrave comments love to hype, yet they managed to come on top in the US. So, what went right for the 7 year old 9 member girl group?

Both cult-favorite albums enter the Spotify Top 100 Daily Albums at the same time and for the first time in the streaming era. Lady Gaga - Born This Way: 2,449,552 streams Lana Del Rey - Ultraviolence: 2,385,790 streams https://chartmasters.org/spotify-most-streamed-albums/ I was told these two Interscope artists were one era wonders. Surprised?
