One of the most shocking snubs He almost got The Weeknd treatment if it wasn't for Bam Bam He was even predicted to be nominated for = on AOTY, Pop album. And he also had Shivers which was one of the biggest hits of the year. Yet his only nomination was for Camila's Bam Bam

Pretty much every single one of ATRL’s fave artists submitted something to try to get nominated for tomorrow. So who is getting snubbed with zero nominations when they’re announced?

The standards

- CAMILA : Havana - Romance : Senorita - Familia : Bam Bam Is she not the fad ATRL tries to paint her to be?

Do you agree?

You know Darlene Love is somewhere in her walker seething. https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2022-08-17/mariah-carey-queen-of-christmas-trademark-darlene-love

The song was released as the 2nd single of Xtina's iconic era Stripped, as follow-up to lead single Dirrty. It was rush released in the USA after the backlash and underperformance of Dirrty. The song was recorded in one take and Xtina claimed she put her heart and soul into the track and represented the theme of Stripped. The single received critical acclaim for Xtina pushing boundaries and won a Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and nominated for Song of the Year, with Simon Cowell calling it "one of the best pop records ever made". It was written and produced by Linda Perry, who rejected Pink's request to sing it because Linda Perry wanted to keep the song for her potential solo career only to end up giving it to Xtina after hearing Xtina's vocal take on it. Xtina wanted to record another vocal take however Linda Perry denied the request and left her ad-lib "Don't look at me" as the opening line. The music video pushed boundaries by portraying positive representation of marginalized groups including LGBT+ community and tackled issues including homophobia, anorexia and low self-esteem, and inspired a subgenre of empowerment songs including Lady Gaga's "Born This Way", Katy Perry's "Firework" and Pink's "Perfect" in the 2010s. It reached #1 in the UK, Australia, Canada, Romania Ireland and New Zealand and peaked at #2 on the Hot 100, blocked by B2K's "Bump Bump Bump". It reached top 10 in 20+ countries.

What are some interesting box office data that took you by surprise?

...but for 6 minutes and 46 seconds, he is a douchebag that I like

Name 1 or 2 artists that NARAS doesn’t appreciate or like in terms of nominations and/or wins. Katy Perry’s clearly an artist who is Grammy poison. For some reason even though she’s Grammy poison y’all thought she was going to win Best Pop Duo against Xtina lol. Looking back you guys weren’t trolling lmao; you guys really thought Dark Horse was winning ?.

Both artists have completed 6 Pop eras Lady Gaga with The Fame, The Fame Monsters, Born This Way, Artpop, Joanne, and Chromatica Ariana with Yours Truly, My Everything, Dangerous Woman, sweetener, thank u next, Positions Both have 3 #1s under their Pop eras under main credit (Lady Gaga : Just Dance, Poker Face, Born This Way, Ariana : thank u next, 7 Rings, Positions) , with the other #1 are their duets, Rain on Me (stuck with you, Shallow, Save Your Tears remix are excluded from this comparison) Whose career is bigger overall after 6 Pop eras?

What ARTPOP unreleased titles are we aware of and are confirmed real titles: - Brooklyn Nights - Temple - Nothing On (But The Radio) - TEA - Onion Girl - Tinnitus - In Like With You - Sire - Ratchet - Red Flame - Partynauseous (ArtRave Version) - I Wanna Be With You (Dope Demo) - Princess Die - Hallelujah (Was this for ARTPOP?)

This teacher on TikTok has been playing some of the older artists for her young students. Below are some videos, I will attach a few quotes from each in case you can’t watch Celine Dion > so very, very, very, very cringy > this playlist is worse than Katy Perry with short hair > literal garbage > it makes me want to wear a suit & tie in a church > it sounds like a screaming goat > it is good. Sike I lied. It is straight doo doo trash. Mariah Carey > is this Beyonce? > Mariah’s music is for grandmas so I’m calling you old Ms Johnson > it sounds like a dying cat!!! > Mariahs music is like the music being played at a old sad people party and it is sad like it will be played at a funeral > Mariah Carey music is poopie dookie > it sounds like Playboi Carti with his auto tune turned all the way up > Mariah Carey music sounds like she needs a therapist Taylor Swift > I could tell the song was country and it was doo doo fart > I hate that song. > it is hip hop > it is not the best but not the worst > it’s kinda good for the country music > it sounds weird > I don’t like it. Trash She also does Natasha Bedingfeld, Destiny’s Child, etc. Some kids say nice some nice things but overall they do not like artists outside of Juice World, Playboy Carti, XXXTentacion, Billie Eilish, etc.

Before MTV EMAs, Rita teasted she has some plans involving Ava and Bebe However, nothing happened on the shows involving three of them. Rita and Bebe had their own little segment involving drinks, but Ava wasn't present. Even after the show was over, we didn't get a pic of the 3 of them together posted on any social media, is there a beef from Ava's part?

ICYMI, Anti-Hero sold 327K this past week, which was the biggest pure sales week for a song in the US since 2017. This is shocking to me not only because it's such a massive number in 2022, but also because Taylor herself was unable to reach these heights in other similar instances in the last few years when she tried pushing several versions of a song, even as digital sales consumption was higher then than it is now and Billboard's rules regarding sales were less stringent. For example: How was she able to sell this much in 2022 of all years when she's arguably gone just as hard before to push a song in the past (and in a better sales and more relaxed Billboard rules climate) with less lucrative results? I'm shocked honestly.

With Red (Taylor's Version) and Midnights ranking at #4 and #5 on the Billboard 200 year-end chart for 2022, Taylor has become the first woman and first solo artist to have multiple albums as the top 5 best-sellers of a single year. The feat has also only ever been achieved by six artists: The Kingston Trio (1959), Peter, Paul and Mary (1963), Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass (1966), The Monkees (1967) and John Denver (1975).

A quote went semi-viral too Not viral but being appreciated by Keyon too After the Eras tour announcement its parent album is surging in daily streams too - It went up to 800k daily streams a few days ago and is now increasing again on Spotify / AM because of the tour pre sale yesterday. DEBUT TAYLOR YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS!

Like I can’t think of a couple in music that has lasted this long ( 20 yrs) or that’s this iconic except for maybe Sony & Cher, Bobby & Whitney and Ike & Tina .. & still I think The King & Queen are more ICONIC/Couple goals! Unlike The couples above both Jay & Beyoncé are hugely respected & influential in their fields. I mean Jay is damn near The Gatekeeper for Hip Hop at this point & Beyoncé is all of our favs FAV ??‍♂️? They have a total of 52 Grammy awards together (Jay 24 and Beyoncé 28) which I have a feeling both will walk away with more come next yr! IF not them then WHO? #BlackExcellence #BlackLove ??

Beyoncé always gets dragged for the grammys... but she has only won 1 Major category of the 88 noms and 1 Pop category... So from where is the combo of she buying awards? can we admit the Grammys use her instead of given her the arguably deserved awards?

Lin Manuel did that

Machine Gun Kelly got a Rock nomination for Mainstrean Sellout and rocker GAYLE got a nomination in general fields, what went wrong? Were HOLYFVCK and Love Sux bad albums?

Taylor's ERAS Tour is currently going through presale on Ticketmaster, who have confirmed there are MILLIONS OF PEOPLE waiting to purchase tickets, with hundreds of thousands already being sold. They've pushed the Pacific pre-sale back by hours, and the Capital One pre-sale has been pushed off to tomorrow. ATRL tells me Taylor is only successful because her small fanbase buys multiple copies of her music. This tour is indicating otherwise. What is the truth?
