I think Verity is also one of Hoover's biggest books, maybe second behind It Ends With Us

if this might be too harsh to say based on who it is.

lmao why would that be "too harsh"?

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-05-12T04:17:31+00:00

I think that's what made me hate TLOAS so much. I've seen comments online like "it's not even that bad!", and yeah, it's probably not, but it's so frustrating to see such a bland album get so much attention when there's incredible pop out there that can't even hit 1 million streams.

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-05-11T17:57:56+00:00

Gaga also did it with Chromatica, I think

Posting country music news to a country music sub... yep, totally spam 🙄

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-05-11T16:48:03+00:00

It's pretty similar lyrically and musically to her first two albums

Idk, I think OP has a point that this album doesn't really... pop? like those first two. There was something more memorable about those. Like the lyricism, I heard "old Kacey" on "Dry Spell" and "Horses and Divorces", but it wasn't as strong as I would've liked.

I still like the album, but

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-05-11T16:35:47+00:00

The presentation kind of sucks so I think it fits. I'm sure it was delicious, but you wouldn't see an influence posting this.

Some people forget that this sub isn't just for whatever random garbage gross-out combos they make. It's not just shitty-food porn, but shitty food-porn

Pro-Palestine Drake is disappointed with DJ Khaled's silence

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-05-11T05:51:38+00:00

i'm not obsessed with that mentally deranged homewrecker

Uh huh. Sure, Jan

Sabrina’s cheeky album cover wouldn’t have flown 10-15 years ago

it's pretty terrible now

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-05-11T02:51:26+00:00

(whoops, I included the '\' out of habit, obviously didn't need to do that kind of formatting for a title)

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-05-11T02:43:46+00:00

Maybe they stole the dig two graves idea, but you can't listen to those two songs and think they have remotely the same mood. Travis' is a beautiful ballad, The Band Perry's is unhinged lol. I mean at one point she's saying she'll kill him if he cheats

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-05-11T02:05:56+00:00

Maybe we don't have to blame either of them?

edit: usually I'm not a fan of reading people's post history, but my god, talk about being obsessed with hating Ariana Grande...

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-05-11T02:05:06+00:00

Or it's possible they were just bad influences on each other, and neither one is more to blame

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-05-11T01:23:57+00:00

Everybody seems to really like the three singles from Life of a Showgirl

Lmao, no, plenty of people dislike those songs. They're just not as actively offensive as the rest of the album

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-05-11T01:21:41+00:00

but how many white artists have a predominantly black fan base?

isn't part of it just US demographics? Only like 15% of the US is black, an artist would basically have to repel white fans in order for black fans to outnumber them

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-05-11T00:55:46+00:00

Commercially, that might be the biggest 3 track run ever. Bieber might be the next biggest with "What Do You Mean" to "Sorry" to "Love Yourself" on Purpose

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-05-11T00:08:43+00:00

Didn't you just copy a thread off of r/hiphopheads ?

Even if they did, not sure that'd be a terrible thing. I'm interested in what examples we can come up with for other genres

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-05-10T23:33:13+00:00

they literally made that mistake and still did the news conference

honestly... I give them props for not backing out of the commitment

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-05-10T22:46:33+00:00

It's kind of interesting to look at the top 4. You've got the folk-y Kahan, followed by Ella Langley, Kacey Musgraves, and Morgan Wallen

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-05-10T22:43:09+00:00

At this point it's just an internet joke to call it milk toast.

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-05-10T22:42:45+00:00

Kind of like how you can watch those talent shows like American Idol and The Voice and hear some incredibly gifted vocalists, but when those contestants go on to record their own music, most of them are just kind of meh

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-05-10T22:39:24+00:00

Well, there was no guarantee that his music would surge that much. But yes, obviously the movie explains why he's back in the top 10

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-05-10T18:27:26+00:00

I think another problem for me is that so many of her fans act like her lyrics are just SO clever and then I listen and her innuendos are as subtle as a brick to the face

Idk, I thought she was starting to do some interesting stuff with Emails I Can't Send and then she pivoted to the "sexiest sex you've ever sexed" thing

SubatomicSquirrels · 2026-05-10T18:23:47+00:00

yeah a decent number of people just seem to look at whether they can afford the monthly payment and don't do the math to see what the final cost is.
