That's one of the main reasons why I probably wont't buy one anytime soon.

It's true that GH albums aren't viable as they used to be, but it does make me wonder why more pop acts don't do remix albums anymore. I'd buy the hell out of a good remix album, and those can't be substituted by a DIY playlist.
 
And who was the one person that pushed Catch my Breath all the way to #375 in Brunei Darussalam?
Who's the one arguing for "selling in more places" even if the sales in those places are ranked in the hundreds?

This conversation is making us look like Brandy stans.

I love it when Botty knows he's been clocked so he chooses to ignore the receipts. Far too typical for Xtincta fans I imagine.

This isn't even serious. We're arguing about kelly, for one, and which person is the bigger flop. No one is winning here.

Ummm, what?

Xtina has several standards in her catalogue. STANDARDS, dear.

Xtina could quit today and she'll leave behind a library of songs that will be performed by pop wannabes for decades to come.

MIA on the other hand? Child boo bye.

Sis I don't want to have to drag Xtina but

1) Xtina has precisely three songs that anyone would ever cover if she left the biz: Genie, Dirrrty and Beautiful.

2) People wont cover MIA songs because they can't, not because they're not amazing. MIA songs are made by the production, beats and sounds not by the big, coverable melodies.

True. A good remix album or even just something like Kylie's Abbey Road sessions is a good way to sell older songs.

FTFY. Otherwise I detect no lies.

I would have never imagined two months ago that I would be slayed by Taylor Swift, Ke$ha, and a Rihanna album.

But it happened.

Truly, a sign of the apocalypse.

Says who? You? Not here for your goalposts.

Like are you serious? So you're telling me sending only 3 singles to the top 10 in a span of 3 albums makes her a hitmaker? Okay, meanwhile Whitney, Mariah, Madonna, Britney, Katy, Ke$ha, Lady Gaga, and Rihanna have massive streaks of non stop hits.

Only time Xtuna was a certified hitmaker was her first era. Loooooooool

1) And that's your opinion. Hell, Dirrty wasn't even one of the songs I was thinking of.

2) Some would say that MIA hasn't been amazing since Kala.

I looked at her singles list to check them and aside from her collabs I haven't even heard of half of them, sorry.

They'd be mostly right, aside from a couple of tracks on MAYA and Bad Girls. But Arular and Kala are two of the best albums of the past decade.

You say that like her first era doesn't count. You say that like she didn't hold the record for most consecutive number ones until Gaga.

And all it took was Black Friday.

Care to guess where she'll be next week?

Um, I didn't say the first era didn't count did I? It did. And that was it. 15 years ago kiii. Also most consecutive #1s? Isn't that Mariah? And Gaga never had that record, try Katy.

Those numbers aren't too shabby for PP. You go homeboy.



I see you still trying to make this catch on.

I'm not trying to make it catch on, it's my thing. I do it because I think it's funny, it's true, and the Xtinca stans seethe. I'll be over it soon, right around the time the coffin is buried.
