Melodrama is fantastic album full of layers and depth, every song on it is good and Lorde is fully deserving of any sweetheart status

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."

Not to mention she bundled the album with tickets to her tour and STILL pulled horrendous numbers for someone that just finished an era with several #1 records. Complete and utter flop. It will probably be out of the BB200 next week which is just CRAZY for Katy loving Perry.

Yeah I don't take any joy in her failure but it is interesting. Total lack of a hit single, the album was just bad, promoting it by desperately talking up the Taylor "feud" and the weekend long live stream, promising it to be meaningful and political music compared to what it actually turned out to be... the perfect storm of failure

Was listening to Primadonna just now.

This is super boring though. :( That's Clean Bandit's fault.

I love but i'm a huge fanboy of Marina. I hadn't realized this song is a few years old now but never available to the public outside of a live performance. That said I hope this means an upcoming Marina album, if I remember correctly she has been working on one.

I needed to look up Justin Bieber's discography for a trivia quiz recently and it's still pretty nuts to me how his first album came out as an EP, a full album, a compilation and a remix album and about half the songs on it were released as singles anyway.

It's also weird looking at the table with his singles on Wikipedia and it starts off with all these hits, then there's this two-year period where nothing he's doing is getting past the bottom half of the Top 40 (he also had that one album that purportedly sold so badly that his record company refused to release the figures to save face), then he comes back and has something like three number-ones in a row.

Is there anything similar, not where a recording artist goes away for a while then has a comeback, but where they keep recording and performing but nothing hits, then they muster this huge commercial career revival?

I think Biebs just reached over saturation combined with him being in the news all the time for being a douchebag is what led to the dip. Plus a few years has improved his voice to anyone over 18.



The lady and I are seeing Ed Sheeran tomorrow night for her birthday, has anyone seen him previously? How was it?

It helps that his singing and songwriting has improved so even old no-funs like me can grudgingly admit that he's become pretty decent.

I feel like there's this weird situation where people really want to hear good Justin Timberlake songs but they don't necessarily want to hear them from Justin Timberlake.

See also: that one Ed Sheeran song I like (the one with all the "whoa"s in the chorus).

It's pretty good, but I'm looking forward to some fun fast paced pop songs with catchy hooks. I hope she can still pull that kind of music off, because there aren't enough songs like that out there at the moment.

Im almost 100% certain she will, but I think this was the right move. I mean-- considering her battles, I think it would be kind of.....weird if she jumped back into fun care free silly songs like Tik Tok. Her new video still has animals and fun colors, she knows her branding and audience.

Justin Timberlake stopped putting out good Justin Timberlake songs, so someone's gotta pick up the slack.

It's crazy to think I made that post before I knew that there would be at least two more songs as good as Slide on that Calvin Harris album.

I know "Album of the Summer" isn't a thing but that album totally wins it.

That's an interesting interpretation, but I feel like the song is too ambiguous to jump to conclusions.
