Title...

Golden Hour was what got me into Kacey Musgraves and is still one of the best-produced albums I have ever heard, but there was always a few tracks I never clicked with. When I first heard Deeper Well earlier this year I was underwhelmed but it has massively grown on me, and at this point I think overall it stands toe-to-toe with Golden Hour (though that album's highs remain untouchable). What do you think? Cardinal VS Slow Burn Deeper Well VS Lonely Weekend Too Good to be True VS Butterflies Moving Out VS Oh, What a World Giver / Taker VS Mother Sway VS Love Is a Wild Thing Dinner with Friends VS Space Cowboy Heart of the Woods VS Happy & Sad Jade Green VS Velvet Elvis The Architect VS Wonder Woman Lonely Millionaire VS High Horse Heaven Is VS Golden Hour Anime Eyes VS Rainbow

A range of contrasting views have been expressed since the drop of Taylor's latest album "The Tortured Poets Department". I wondered what the consensus is?

Both girlies delivered an experimental album. Which one was difficult to connect to?

Dua reached MPG status with the blockbuster era that was Future Nostalgia. The singles to her follow up, Radical Optimism, have yet to make make an impact, however. Given this, is she still an MPG?

Which among these explosive ballads is better?

Jack Antonoff has been the popular 'go to' producer of choice for several MPG's and also various alt. leaning female artists for several years now. He has worked with various illustrious industry heavyweights including Taylor, Lana, Lorde and St Vincent. Objectively there appears to be a consensus that the Aaron Dessner produced tracks from Taylor's brand new magnum opus "The Tortured Poets Department", are of better quality and generally have a greater repeat playability factor than the Jack Antonoff produced tracks. Entirely separately from Taylor's new album, Lorde was asked to change things up by her label UMG after the perceived underperformance of her Jack Antonoff produced third studio album "Solar Power" and as a result he is not involved with her fourth as she seeks to revitalise her commercial fortunes. For a long time many Lana fans were happy with the ongoing creative partnership between Lana and Jack but as time passes her fanbase have become steadily more critical of Jack's work and a growing (no longer insignificant) proportion of her fanbase are increasingly voicing concern about Jack. Many of you will have listened to at least one (or more) of the aforementioned artists and by volition of that, their work with Jack which in some cases spans several era's of your fave's career. What is your opinion of Jack's more recent production work? In your view has it got better, worse or stayed the same?

Better lead single?

Madonna vs. Mariah Carey vs. Taylor Swift Like a Virgin vs. Emotions vs. Fearless True Blue vs. Music Box vs. Speak Now Like a Prayer vs. Merry Christmas vs. Red Erotica vs. Daydream vs. 1989 Bedtime Stories vs. Butterfly vs. Reputation Ray of Light vs. Rainbow vs. Lover Music vs. Glitter vs. Folklore American Life vs. Charmbracelet vs. Evermore Confessions on a Dance Floor vs. The Emancipation Of Mimi vs. Midnights Hard Candy vs. E=MC² vs. The Tortured Poets Department

For years stans and haters alike acknowledged that Taylor's biggest accomplishment was her remarkable consistency. After Taylor's astonishing 2023 (the biggest tour of all time, largest music consumption year ever, Time's Person of the Year, and a shocking amount of media attention), many began to think Taylor's peak might also be the biggest of all time outright. This morning, Taylor's TTPD debuted with over 100 million more streams than the previous all-time record holder (her own Midnights). The album is expected to debut with numbers thought to be literally impossible just a few years ago because of music industry transitions. Next month, Taylor restarts the largest tour in history and will surely clench a new collection of all-time records in the coming weeks. She is doing this well into her 30s, bucking traditional career trajectories. Has Taylor successfully achieved the largest single peak ever? If not her, who?

Two giants, two massive albums... Which one takes the crown?

When it comes to making children's music, two pop stars come to mind: Katy Perry and Taylor Swift. For Katy Perry, the seeds were planted with her debut, One of the Boys, but the turning point was Teenage Dream which saw her sport colorful wigs, beach and candy-themed visuals, among others. That image stays true today. Her recent Las Vegas residency, Play, sees her in her own fantasy land, wearing outlandish kid-friendly costumes and singing sugary sweet numbers from her catalog. However, despite this, Katy Perry still manages to be sexy and it doesn't come off tacky. Her sense of humor and confidence sells the image she's trying to portray. For Taylor Swift, being childish has always been in her DNA. From her debut up to her latest album, she manages to make music fit for children—even with the occasional cursing (for the teenagers who think doing so makes them sound cool and edgy). Admittedly, she has taken breaks from making kid-friendly songs, such as in the albums Reputation, Folklore and Evermore. But those breaks are very short-lived and those more artistic endeavors are often undermined by her propensity to write songs for the lowest common denominator. Can't knock the hustle. I would too if I was making the same kind of money. In your opinion, who did it better? Katy or Taylor?

Are you hyped???

Both gut wrenching songs about heartache that smashed going #1 on the Hot 100 But which one do you prefer?

I'm undecisive tbh.

The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology by Taylor Swift and Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera represent a rarity amongst pop stars: the double album. Which one do you prefer? vs.

Both are my favorite from the new albums, which one is your?

Inspired by this tweet of joint collaborators, which duet partner of Bey & Tay has the best set of tracks with the duo The Chicks Ed Sheeran Future Kendrick Lamar Post Malone

Taylor's highly anticipated 11th album is upon us and it'll come out on April 19th. After achieving some of the biggest debuts in history, what numbers do you think The Tortured Poets Department is going to pull?
