Someone in this thread already pre-ordered the album. It outsold Bionic.

If someone else pre-orders, it'll outsell Femme Fatal

Katy Perry is hot. Whether her music is good enough or not is another question.

I am so happy Cyno has a new avatar - it makes his posts seem less angry and it makes me feel a lot more comfortable ;_;

Where is Phono btw??
I was thinking of getting some of poppaf together for MK7 revival. But what's the point without Phono being last in every race. :/

He should be back soonish. I should really put my MK7 cart into my 3DS for the first time. Picked it up on sale for $5 and yet to play it ;_;

I approve of this new direction and happily USHER in this NEW ERA.

Speaking of Xtincta, Science has come out and said that Pop Music is TOO LOUD and all SOUNDS THE SAME.

(Reuters) - Comforting news for anyone over the age of 35, scientists have worked out that modern pop music really is louder and does all sound the same.

Researchers in Spain used a huge archive known as the Million Song Dataset, which breaks down audio and lyrical content into data that can be crunched, to study pop songs from 1955 to 2010.

A team led by artificial intelligence specialist Joan Serra at the Spanish National Research Council ran music from the last 50 years through some complex algorithms and found that pop songs have become intrinsically louder and more bland in terms of the chords, melodies and types of sound used.

"We found evidence of a progressive homogenization of the musical discourse," Serra told Reuters. "In particular, we obtained numerical indicators that the diversity of transitions between note combinations - roughly speaking chords plus melodies - has consistently diminished in the last 50 years."

They also found the so-called timbre palette has become poorer. The same note played at the same volume on, say, a piano and a guitar is said to have a different timbre, so the researchers found modern pop has a more limited variety of sounds.

Intrinsic loudness is the volume baked into a song when it is recorded, which can make it sound louder than others even at the same volume setting on an amplifier.

The music industry has long been accused of ramping up the volume at which songs are recorded in a 'loudness war' but Serra says this is the first time it has been properly measured using a large database.

The study, which appears in the journal Scientific Reports, offers a handy recipe for musicians in a creative drought.

Old tunes re-recorded with increased loudness, simpler chord progressions and different instruments could sound new and fashionable. The Rolling Stones in their 50th anniversary year should take note.

When Madonna is trite it's okay because she's Madonna and she invented self esteem, blonde hair and black clothes.

Is this list limited to the "Top 10"? Perhaps for the OP refresh, the stans for each artist can come up with a list of the Top 5/7/10 ESSENTIAL tracks to listen to when first exploring someone's discography.

As for your Britney list, I'm here for about half of it. Here would be my list, in no particular order. Not attempting to represent all her albums equally, obviously.

3. Get Naked (I Got a Plan) Toy Soldier
4. Breathe on Me Hold It Against Me
5. ...Baby One More Time
6. How I Roll Womanizer
7. Till The World Ends
8. Piece of Me
9. Heaven on Earth Break The Ice
10. Gimme More

Kyon-sis, do I pass the test? What do you think of my Brit tastes?

Edit: If you're reading this, Kyon, check your PM's heaux!

Overprotect [Darkchild remix] (My favorite Britney dance break)
Boys (My second favorite Britney dance break)

Did you notice how boring and uninspired her Single's artwork is?

I won't lie, I agree with this. Most of them have nothing to do with the music videos or anything either.

Anyway, here's my faves from XTINCTA. I am honestly / genuinely surprised there's nothing else here that I enjoy ;_;

I honestly have almost no familiarity with Britney during the time period after her first album or two and before Circus. I have liked some of her songs during the time periods I am familiar with, though.

And yes, this means I did not listen to Blackout. Sue me.
