Hilary was pitching a reality show about her dating life that's why she made that video but it backfired since the fans hated the original MV and no network was interested in her show.

Cults are back with a new single, Offering.

Does anyone care at this point? The debut was good, the followup less so, and this single sounds... eh. Okay, I guess. Pleasant enough.

She has such a boring personality, no wonder it didn't take off.

In other news, Iggy won't release any more singles from Digital Distortion, despite the Azealia feature (that may or may not happen?). So it seems that Interscope will just release it quietly and leave it to die.

Full results if you wanna see gems such as

I was surprised to see the mixed reception for this one... and then I wasn't.

Further proof of a deep generational chasm that divides ATRL into two camps; the twentysomething pop sophisticates with 15 to 20 years of top-shelf pop consumption to their name, and an unruly kid crew with Scream Queens avatars and tributes to Nick Jonas in their signatures. It's not that the latter generation is a lost cause entirely, but they've clearly never heard a "Britney" — that is, they've never encountered a voice quite as distinctive as Britney's. "But I know Britney! Circus was the first album I bought!" First off, ask for a refund. And no, you don't know Britney, you know a very stilted and subdued version of the iconic performer.

The Britney of "Private Show" is Britney as Britney is intended to sound. She very skillfully vacillates between a range of tones; she nasally, then guttural, then grainy, then nasally again, then delicate. (And yes, that's how she's supposed to do it.) She's sultry. She's goofy. She's sounds slightly absurd. She's fully engaged. She's expressive in ways that "technically superior" vocalists just aren't. She is brilliant. You have no idea how brilliant she is.

This is the probably purest attempt Britney has made to harness some of that ineffable charm that made her early work so irresistible. I adore it.

Cancel bop of the week, tbh. Why bother nominating good tunes if trash is going to get to first place (I don't care if it's just for the kiis or seriously). The poll for the shady posts can stay, but I don't see the point of nominating and voting.

A shame, because Decarabia is doing a great effort making them with the images, gifs and everything.

 

[You Know Nothing]

The one chart Gaga can still top.

Seriously, how is this happening? There has to be some electoral college style fuckery going on with these results.

I mean, The Placebo charted for like a hot minute or something.

 

[Koodo]

The disturbing thing about stephane reaching any visible charting position (in fan polls only) in the Year 2017 is that you know it's not gays having a cackle but monsturds actually genuinely believing trash deserves to float to the top.

Sad.

 

[rhandino]

On a more happier note

Bad Romance - Lady Gaga
All Is Full Of Love - Björk
Bedtime Story - Madonna

Bjorksus taking 2 spots on this list.

Maybe people actually enjoy Stef's music and are just being hateful little gremlins on here as a front. I don't think even I voted for it. Lmao

Even I didn't vote for ARTPOP for that week lol

She's back to her old image and is no longer with RCA. Ngl, I missed this trainwreck. Sony wanting to turn her into a pop singer never felt right tbh.

 

[Brhoom]

Lmao

 

[Decarabia]

Don't let the results bother you too much, the main objective of bop of the week for me is to help people discover new songs that would otherwise be lost in the thread, the rest is just a bonus.

In case you're curious tho, [redacted]pop won because four voters voted exclusively for it.

Nice to see people appreciating the one true Bgöd.

On another note, from the poll:

Lorde is an untalented Bjork

Lol, but not true at all. Of course Lorde doesn't have an ounce of Bgöd's talent, but then, neither do other mortals. But they are stylistically worlds apart to be comparable. I can't really see The Godesses influence in Lorde's minimalist production or her voice.

Spoiler

definitely NOT a Mariah/Arianna tea

 

[WonderzL]

I was one of the posters who voted for ARTPOP for the kiis but also because it's a great song (I didn't know I could vote for more than one. Would have voted for Supercut). I tucking love everything about the song, lol. It is so fucking postmodern and I love that is actually talks about the current state of art (and pop culture)

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Artpop (song) is everything.

 

[Little Mons†er]

The instrumental to ARTPOP (the song) is better than all your faves discography combined

whew it gets great in the later half actually. I'm impressed.

 

[Vazra]

Haim's new album sounds like music you would play at Foldgers coffee commercials or erectile dysfunction commercials.

 

[MANUELF]

whew it gets great in the later half actually. I'm impressed.

She has always been able to sing like I have told you guys before

 

[Majmun]

Britney's singing is....cute. I'm sure she'd make it past X-factor audition because of her looks. But she'd get eliminated during bootcamp.

 

[Little Mons†er]

Idk if this is real but a couple minutes in and I liked it a bit tbh Toxic no auto tune

Wow

Toxic really is the best pop song out there still to this day!

Hours after the New York Times Magazine published a profile on Kesha, Dr. Luke’s lawyer released a lengthy statement in response.

“The New York Times Magazine profile piece that ran today unfortunately has many inaccuracies.

This article is part of a continuing coordinated press campaign by Kesha to mislead the public, mischaracterize what has transpired over the last two years, and gain unwarranted sympathy.

Kesha filed a shock and awe complaint of alleged abuse against Luke Gottwald in 2014 — for contract negotiation leverage. It backfired.

She never intended to prove her claims. She has voluntarily withdrawn her California complaint, after having her counterclaims in New York for alleged abuse dismissed.

Nevertheless, she continues to maliciously level false accusations in the press to attack our client.

The reality is that for well over two years, Kesha chose—and it was entirely her choice—not to provide her label with any music.

Kesha was always free to move forward with her music, and an album could have been released long ago had she done so.

She exiled herself.

It was not until months after the denial of her injunction motion – for the first time in June and July 2016–that Kesha started to provide the label with music.

She provided 22 recordings created without any label consultation which were not in compliance with her contract, were in various stages of development, and which Kesha’s own team acknowledged needed work. Then, and for the last several months, the label has been in discussions with Kesha and her team to choose the best music, create additional music, and work on the tracks created.

A&R representatives of both Kemosabe and RCA have provided Kesha with detailed feedback in writing and in person on the tracks she provided to help her further develop the material. Kesha has also agreed with Kemosabe and RCA on a list of producers who will work with her on these tracks, a studio has been reserved for these sessions, and a budget for certain work provided.

The creation of an album is a process, however what has clearly been communicated is that the aim is for a release date as early as possible. It is in the economic best interest of the label and Mr. Gottwald to put out a top selling album, and that takes time. In fact, the label suggested an early release of an advance Kesha track. It was Kesha’s team who rejected this proposal.

Kesha’s claim in the article that she has no ability to earn money outside of touring is completely rebutted by well documented public court records which apparently escaped the article’s attention.

Better than those Sia-penned tracks. Obviously that album is now canned, but judging by Kylie's Kiss Me Once, it's not a huge loss.

Astrid S' Breathe (along with its remixes) is a bop.
Her song with Blonde is also nice

 

[Vazduh]

I feel it, the heat is rising
I'm ready to go
My heart rushes when we're united
Hot like a volcano
I feel it, I feel it coming
All the molten lava
My body don't ache for nothing
I'M ABOUT TO BLOOOOOOOOW

Astrid S' Breathe (along with its remixes) is a bop.

Mhm. Bloodstream is pretty nice, too. The entire new EP, actually.
