Remember when Beyonce was using her "lil quick singles" line as a way to demostrate's she's above radio smashes.

And here we are in 2017, when she just hopped on two quick remixes of already established songs, as well as a massive flop with Eminem.

True but they aren't her singles so it still stands true. And Mi Gente was for charity, so it wasn't like she was using the song for a #1.

I didn't know Reputation came out on Spotify yesterday. I'm gonna finally listen to it.

Considering the song was a top 20 hit before her remix I'm sure she expected at least a week at #1

I won't rule out that maybe she did want it to at least stay on the chart, but I don't think she seriously expected a number one for weeks. I think she would of went out of her way to make sure that was the case by doing the most to promote it but she didn't. So I don't think she really cared that much.

Miguel Miguel....Miguel ...MIGUEL!

It's been a while since I love an entire body of work from him.

His first debut album was underwhelming and largely forgettable. I LOVED Kaleidoscope Dream, (his Magnus Opus imo). WILDHEART wasn't my favorite outside of two or three songs.

But War and Leisure.......This is giving me life. Off rip it's giving me the same love that I got from Kaleidoscope. It's poppy but synthy with his signature guitar riffs, his soulful hallowing vocals just ghosting all over the track that gives me goosebumps, and it sounds like overall a fun album for him to record.

It sounds like the right balance of WILDHEART mixed with Kaleidoscope that I wish was WH.

I knew this album was going to be good after sky walker so I'm happy that my expectations weren't wrong.

What did you think of Reputation?

I havent had the proper time. From the few songs I heard I feel it's a very loud album, the production is sometimes so jarring and overpowered that it makes her voice seem like the weakest element.

I'd say Delicate is absolutely masterful.

These are the moments in time that we've been waiting our whole life to find
That we've been searching for all through the night
Just tell me it will be alright
'Cause, baby, in a world full of cancer
Where everyone needs a ransom
My mama said "love is the answer"
So when I call you better answer me
Right now I need you here on me
No substitutes, you're the one and only
Please take away the stress I don't need
You got me on my knees, baby, James Brown, please
The time is ours, not for borrow
Both got a past full of sorrow
Let's cancel everything tomorrow
I always get caught in the moments [with you]

Whew, Jhené got me in my feelings today

Preach.

Delicate is the best pop song I've heard this year.

Dive bar on the East side, where you at?

Poppy's album is fun, but lbr, Nadia Oh did the whole Poppy shtick first and better.



There was a period where people had no clue whether she was real or CG!

This queen just got hired at my office (so I'm not the only one anymore.. sigh) and he was in charge of prepping our Christmas meeting. He put up speakers in our meeting room and I swear he played Mariah Carey's Christmas music for hours.

And yikes at Melania Martinez.

I wasn't really pointing it out in search of some contest. Also if this video is supposed to be an indicator of better, no.

Dua Lipa beat Rihanna, Ariana, Hitlor and Beyonce and is the most streamed female artist in the UK in 2017. Sleigh.

I liked what I heard of that poppy album too. I wasn't really super aware of what her entire thing was beyond knowing she was a popular you tube channel. Maybe I had low expectations. But Fever Ray and then Bjork had projects and I sorta forgot about it.

Congrats to her! She is great, the album kind of suffered from all the singles being released before it came out...well except for maybe New Rules?

I can't at the Melanie Martinez stuff O.o
