Do you hear that?
I think Gaga's finally calling Giorgio back.

The Katheryn song is infinitely more interesting than Knee's latest defecation.

So who won?
Rise's pre-chorus >
Make Me's chorus >

Can't wait to see how Katy butchers it live.

I meant the other one, but any chance to link Diamonds is good tbh
Oh I dont know that one. Is that an artist I should know?
Rise is the better song overall and should be the bigger hit since the Olympics will be promoting the song as well.

I hear she's a farmer now so there's no point in catching up with her music tbh

Oh fuck. It's over everyone.
In other news all we need is for Taylor and Gags to release this year too and Donald Trump can finally be destroyed

Just took a three minute break from Make Me to listen to Rise. Savan Kotecha and Max Martin together produced this? I mean, it's alright.. there's nothing particularly bad about the song. There's nothing great about it either, though. This just sounds like another one of Katy's power ballads where she over-exaggerates her struggles and promotes the idea of survival. The abrupt ending is also kinda strange. Not Katy's best effort, but certainly not her worst. It's got me interested in what direction she'll go with her upcoming album, at least.
It's not really fair to compare it to Make Me, though. They went for two different sounds and reactions.

Katy going Real Music and Britney reheating same old shit? Agree.
Hmmm
I credit Britney for trying something new.
But this is only new for her.
Y'all was talking about Ciara earlier. THIS sounds like a Ciara track. Like Promise era Ciara.
And I need my Pop girls to stop thinking they need to tack on whack rap verses from whack rappers to sell.
Yawn... NEXT

Have only heard the preview so far, but not really feeling Rise. With Olympic promo, though, it should be big.

Wait for the covers on YouTube today.

According to an interview Rise isn't the KP4 lead. I guess she may not release this year then?
Here for Witness (Final Version) being the lead.
Good...cuz UGH
Rise is better than Animate Me, but that ain't saying much. It's yet another corny, meant-for-commercials and Glee-but-oh-Glee-is-over inspirational track that she shits out in her sleep.
To pop megastars release tracks on the same day and both are garbage.
Let me check out Tinashe, ha struggle.

G-Eazy is pretty hot right now, and he's not problematic like Iggy. I like him.
Its not that the world hates white rappers but the world is tired of forced rap into songs. THe song could probably be fine if they added something else for Britney without the rap stuff.

Oops, didn't know G-Eazy was white

I'd rather have a dance breakdown like in HIAM, but this song doesn't really call for that.
He's so handsome. I can't wait for that scene in the Make Me MV.
His name is G-Eazy.

It's at #2 now. I wonder if she'll be able to hit #1 so I can take a quick screenshot before the other girl takes over.

Why is "Cheap Thrills" $0.69 on iTunes? Thematic pricing?

Rise is generic filth that a Disney Channel actress who can't sing would release. But so was Roar and that burned up the charts so I expect it do well commercially.
Make Me (Bald) was a breath of fresh air. It ended Britney's dry streak and made me excited for this era. ITZ 2.0 is coming.

Gotta see how long it lasts and remember iTunes #1 doesnt mean a lot at times.

That's the lowest price a song can sell for and still be counted towards the Hot 100. Katy does that all the time with her remixes.

But isn't it Sia's current single? I've never seen a new song be that low.

It was released in February, but has only recently started gaining traction. Sia is capitalizing by discounting the remix.
