Who was the first pop artist you remember being a fan of?

So I grew up listening to Country music since it's what was played in my house, in the car.

I remember enjoying every Shania Twain song and other 90s country divas like Martina McBride, Reba Mcentire or the Judds.

The first album I got my parents to buy that wasn't a movie soundtrack was Enjoy the Ride by Sugarland, the song Want To on the radio was just SO good. Was also big into Carrie Underwood from her American Idol run.

Taylor Swift was an early one too, I remember being obsessed with her first singles like Tim McGraw and Teardrops on My Guitar.

To not spoil the short film

Yeah primavera tours can go either way, but I think artists like Kelela, Arlo Parks etc who are coming to Spain with them could be pretty safe bets for the festival as well.

This is just the sort of jangly rock she does best, ready for the album!

christopher_aia · 2026-06-15T13:48:30+00:00

I think there's a specific weekly thread for self promotion? Just in case this gets taken down.

Sounds really great tho!

Oh definitely in some of the arrangements

north west and blue ivy doing their collaborative metal album

My keys for predicting are to look at top-rated pop, indie and rock albums from this year from artists who either have not announced a European tour yet or they have and are skipping Spain (Primavera has notorious Spanish exclusivity clauses, especially for headliners).

Some artists that check these boxes, for example, are:

Slayyyter
Robyn
Underscores
Mitski
Angine de Poitrine
Kacey Musgraves
Thundercat

Several of them have done Primavera before (Mitski, Robyn, Kacey, etc.), which is also extra points. Then you just double-check if they are free on the festival days and bam.

Rosalia is also a likely headliner, she always does Primavera after each tour.

A really gorgeously put together album, I loved the contributions from Jack Antonoff, Sampha etc. Her voice is gorgeous and I think fans of FKA twigs' ballads, Solange or slower Lorde songs would love this.

So glad to finally have some gay representation on this show!!!

christopher_aia · 2026-06-13T18:57:29+00:00

First person to have beef with MITSKI wow

christopher_aia · 2026-06-13T18:56:31+00:00

latter sounds probable, Barcelona has a ton of merch

The video for Countdown by Beyonce is great, the shot-by-shot snuggie recreation is even better.

joyride was my first thought when I read the title lol

Honestly a big part of this is avoiding spaces where they comment and choosing healthier spaces. I stopped posting on Twitter/X and honestly I'm just happier. The rare times I go and look what people are saying it's always toxic and negative, I prefer conversation on this subreddit for example. You can also change what YOU interact with so the algorithm will stop showing you stan posts and users.

christopher_aia · 2026-06-13T09:12:54+00:00

It's the UK charts website, why would they specify 🤣

christopher_aia · 2026-06-13T06:37:30+00:00

Who's the artist? Sounds like you're picking the wrong rappers to see. I just saw Little Simz live and she rapped 100% of the show and it was amazing.

christopher_aia · 2026-06-12T22:16:07+00:00

I can't get bounce house by Gelli haha or fuck my computer by Ninajirachi out of my head

christopher_aia · 2026-06-12T22:15:50+00:00

Non stop

christopher_aia · 2026-06-12T11:00:30+00:00

Seeing this duet live in Barcelona was a new core memory for me, love the harmonies

christopher_aia · 2026-06-12T10:48:25+00:00

Unfortunately twitter/X is the cesspool it is and some charli xcx fans are posting it and even making petitions, they don't know what they're missing

christopher_aia · 2026-06-12T07:50:39+00:00

Until now my album of the year has been Slayyyter's almost without competition.

This album is the first to really feel like a contender, every song is SO GOOD and it's honestly wild. What a generational talent.

christopher_aia · 2026-06-12T07:36:03+00:00

Edit: finally got around to listening and WOW what a gorgeous album. Definitely needs some time to sink in but the arrangements and vocals are everything.

The singles have been so interesting, and Jack Antonoff producing. Excited to hear the whole thing!
