BEYONCÉ RETURNS: POPGAF OT XIII

Just listened to Brooklyn Nights. While it's not single material, it does give me hope that LG5 could have some quality songs on the album. It also reminds me of her older stuff in both production and vocal style, which I thought she'd totally abandoned with the ARTPOP era given its hyperproduction and the throaty, deeper vocal timbre. It's been so long since Gaga has released something to say she can still play the pop game.

In other news, LEMONADE's slayage continues to grow with each listen. Different sound from SELF-TITLED; not sure which of the two I prefer.

I can confirm that Like A Prayer, Vogue, Frozen, Holiday, Hung Up, Hollywood and La Isla Bonita all still slay. Queen.

Brooklyn Nights reminds me of 'The Fame' GAGA... Which makes me very nostalgic which is why I love said track.

I definitely prefer LEMONADE over ST anyday imo. I can actually listen through the album without being bored and in one sitting. With ST I only used a couple of songs.

I still don't know why there isn't a Gaga OT of shorts. I bet they could easily fill OT faster than Popgaf once the circle jerk discussion that goes nowhere is removed from here.

Edit: Woops, top of page

Yup, tell them.

8 million views for HBTB damn... good job lana

Also BBHMM deserves to have Work's amount of views. That video is fucking amazing

The majority of its views are from the US because of age restrictions ��

edit, wait YT is showing 344m global plays of BBHMM from video + audio. Slay!

Work is showing 585m wtf

Rival animated offering Ratchet & Clank crashed and burned in its opening weekend bowing to an estimated $4.8M from 2,891 locations for a dismal $1,668 average.

Hasn't the R&C franchise been dead for a while now? The public has already voted with their wallets.

But they TRIED iT, with the movie, and failed. A spiderman reboot tea.
 
Yes and they should be lucky that they are profitable. Unlike some of the other hews on the label. This investment paid off.

OOOP.
fifth hew's album debuted at 80k while Zayn's solo album debuted at 157,000. Over a YEAR later, Reflection has sold a total of 155,000 in the U.S. Less than Zayn's opening week lmao
 
Yeah, as flop as Fifth Hew's next alberm is assured to be, lettuce at least wait until the receipts are generated before declaring them roadkill.

Zayn had half a decade to establish his army of post-menstrual ephebophiles, while Filth Heap only had X-Factor (lol) before officially hitting the scene

The public has spoken. They don't remember them (although they both have messy vevo situations so that might be why). Maintaining a legacy is almost as important as getting new hits in the streaming era.
