What are your top 5 songs on Starboy? After having it on rotation all this past week I solidified my list:

1. Secrets
2. Rockin'
3. A Lonely Night
4. Starboy
5. Love to Lay

Stargirl Interlude would have been up there (love Lana's vocals) if only it was a full song

 

[Little Mons†er]

StarGirl pisses me off at just how good it is, it's such a sin how it didn't become a full song

False Alarm is a certified bop

Your most played playlist? Granted if you want a yearly breakdown maybe just reset plays.

I'm pretty sure mines screwed up. And how can you reset plays lol. My top like twenty are all from Sia's and Rihanna's album and I know for a fact I did not listen to them that much.

Kiss me better Vaz

 

[royalan]

LOL

Y'all are petty.

I'm less surprised by who's winning than I am by who's coming up in a close second.

You girls better vote.

 

[Koodo]

 

[Matt_]

The problem with hews is that I forgot who they were before i voted
two of mine were (truthful) jokes because of it

kpop is a flop anyway so...

 

[The Flop]

I anticipate my hews being in there, but they had a hell of year, while some of your favs will have to take the smegma off their careers but won't be on the list.

 

[<+)O Robido O(+>]

I don't make it a habit of listening to flops. I don't know who to vote for.

 

[Ahasverus]

So.. Song of the year? This year sucked ass, yes, but Work and Hotline Bling were pretty omniscient and not offensively terrible, so one of those 2.

The fact that Hotline Bling is a 2015 song makes your list sadder

Daamn fuck this year sis. Did anything not suck?

Spoiler

Besides me, sadly

You better kill me before I consider the Chainsuckers a real music act or those decadent fools who D-O-M-I-N-A-T-E-D the charts of this shameful year.

Mess.

Chainsmokers make great beats and usually have decent vocals on them, along with catchy lyrics, and good flow. I mean you kind of have to have objective reasons not to like them. What are yours?

You don't need objective reasons to dislike music, but even if you did, the chainsmokers would fulfil that too by being pieces of shit.

 

[WaffleTaco]

You don't need objective reasons to dislike music, but even if you did, the chainsmokers would fulfil that too by being pieces of shit.

Personally I think you do need objective reasons, otherwise what is the point in having awards for music (which is the Grammy's needs to reconsider its purpose). I mean what is the reason chainsmokers are a piece of shit though? Also you can like something while realizing it is trash, and dislike something, but know that it is of quality.

 

[B-Dex]

I like how chainsmokers get called out yet some here still stan Natalia Teddy Name Changer for ruining an amateur artists career on national tv because he wore a suit which apparently means her talentless no name husband was being wholesale ripped off.

But I won't name names.

pretty sure natalia killed her own career on national tv, not the career of misc x factor contestant #6 who probably got an outpouring of support after that nonsense.

the chainsmokers are shit.

 

[rhandino]

I see that someone is still steam pressed that the Chainsmokers spilled the T about how much Perfect Illusion 'sucked' while dominating the charts with a song featuring Halsey.

That was actually scripted but coming from you its hard to take anything seriously. Also i like Closer. Sue me

i don't give a crap about joanne tbh, i didn't even buy it

 

[The Flop]

"Work From Home" the superior work song.

 

[Yado]

I don't make it a habit of listening to flops. I don't know who to vote for.

Same, I honestly can't think of anyone.

Just gonna put Gaga

 

[royalan]

Oh wow, looks like _________________ won't even get enough votes to make into the competition. The girls must really love ha

*Checks again 6 hours later*

...Nope! She's in. lol

Where are the results?

 

[Aguila]

Get into this 10 minute jam: Trust Me (feat. Robyn) - Mr. Tophat

 

[Koodo]

I hope the sister learned from previous failed attempts at awards and doesn't spread the reveal across half the calendar year.

 

[You Know Nothing]

I just heard a Lil Yachty verse on a Zara Larsson remix...

 

[MANUELF]

I hope the sister learned from previous failed attempts at awards and doesn't spread the reveal across half the calendar year.

That reminds me there was another questionarie posted here about our favorite artist that has not been revealed yet

 

[royalan]

You gurls voted. It was a contentious battle, with over 50 flops vying for the One Gold Album to rule them all. In the end, 12 stood out from the pack with the requisite number of votes. Here they are:

5th Harmony

Carly Rae Jepsen

Keri Hilson

Marina and the Diamonds

Azealia Banks

Natalia Kills

Mariah Carey

Lady Gaga

Meghan Trainor

Tinashe

Grimes

Frank Ocean (LOL)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There they are, your Flop Finalists. All Try-Hards in their own right. You're all the winners of the losers if you make it this far.

But who flopped supreme?

To help determine the path forward, I have consulted with an expert on the subject:

The 12 floppie finalists will be divided into three groups of 4 to battle it out. All participants in the awards will be given the opportunity to vote for two of the flops in each group, with the two receiving the highest score proceeding to the next round.

But, to keep this from getting too predictable, a twist will be added. Something my gurl Hillary knows a little something about. In this following rounds, we'll be introducing...

SUPERDELEGATES

That's right. In the grand tradition of some people naturally being more important than others, in each of the next rounds I will tap two of you via PM to give you superdelegate status. As a superdelegate, you'll be given 5 additional points to award in that round, however you see fit, to me via PM. Maybe your influence will have impact. Maybe not.

Feel free to announce to the thread if you've been made a super.

Or not.

Get messy.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Round 1

5th Harmony

Grimes

Lady Gaga

Keri Hilson

VOTE HERE (you do not need to have participated in the previous round to vote): https://goo.gl/forms/Zcun7xNAD7T3cuhg2

The winners of the round will be announced this time tomorrow.

Good luck to the flops! And check your PMs!

 

[Garrett Hawke]

so the list of flops is basically every pop girl except beyonce.

 

[Professor Beef]

so the list of flops is basically every pop girl except beyonce.

Christina, Madonna, and Britney aren't there, so shush.

 

[MANUELF]

so the list of flops is basically every pop girl except beyonce.

I dont see any pop girl on there unless you still think of Mariah of a popgirl instead of a grown up woman

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Christina, Madonna, and Britney aren't there, so shush.

i just don't get how gags or meghag can be considered flops when they both delivered at least mildly successfully commercial eras, as did fifth hewmany despite their complete lack of presence. in spite of everything, joanne was 2016's 4th biggest album launch, and gags has become the 1st female artist to have 4 no 1 albums in the 2010s.

i'll just have to make my opinion know by voting tho

 

[B-Dex]

Christina, Madonna, and Britney aren't there, so shush.

Cause no one even thinks of them. Period.

 

[The Flop]

I can see the end game of this game, but let it be known, my gurls are not a FLOP.

 

[Brhoom]

Mariah is a flop? Ok.

 

[Vazduh]

Voted.

 

[llehuty]

You better let ma girl Keri Hilson win at something. She would maybe decide to release music again! lol

 

[Matt_]

Don't think I've ever heard a Keri Hilson song.
She got my vote

 

[Garrett Hawke]

I voted keri and grimes - keri because i literally don't know who she is, and grimes because she is a #music not the bling artiste thru and thru.

fifth harmony despite having 0 impact do get those sales, as does joanne-ga

 

[B-Dex]

Keri hilson's only relevant song.

 

[Matt_]

Louis Tomlinson and Steve Aoki performed on the x factor

live version is tragic and the normal version isnt much better

Just liam and harry to go now yeah?

fucking eek at taylor and zayn for 50 shades
how do they go from that divine sexual crazy in love remix to that trash

 

[llehuty]

Keri hilson's only relevant song.

It's one of my favourite songs ever.

Timbaland and her had great synergy
Timbaland - The Way I Are ft. Keri Hilson
Timbaland - Scream ft. Keri Hilson, Nicole Scherzinger
Keri Hilson - Return The Favor ft. Timbaland

Also:

he also became a member of the songwriting and production team, The Clutch. Together, they wrote Mary J. Blige's "Take Me as I Am" (2006), Omarion's "Ice Box" (2006), Ciara's "Like a Boy" (2006), The Pussycat Dolls' "Wait a Minute" (2007) and Britney Spears' "Gimme More" (2007).

She also did a lot of background vocals, with one obvious example being Britney Spear's Break The Ice, where she does 50% of the vocals.

All her contribuitions, but still zero recognition... the ultimate flop. A shame she got bullied out of the business.
