Idk about Warrior, but I really like Venus, remix and original. And I haven't really liked anything of hers in a long time (Yung Rapunxel was good but I didn't like as much as this).
I genuinely wasn't being shady. I won't pretend like I haven't bopped to Ashanti's music in the past.

Don't try to throw shade. She's a better performer than most of the girls people love to stan in this thread.

Weapxn for mod.
I wasn't even being shady. You guys should post some recommendations.
A Sorta Fairytale is the only Toris Amos song I use, but I respect her. Adult alternative music is slept on a lot.

Banks' french accent in Venus is so bad, but I love how ridiculous it sounds. song is pretty good, only the chorus where she doesn't sing and its just a Swedish house maffia esque instrumental is a little disappointing. but everything leading up to that is fantastic.
I also tried that alunaGeorge album people are raving about. not bad at all, but I think it's not my music taste. it feels like a modern take on the r&b from the nineties, and ive never liked that. Superstar I'd cute though.

I can't get over how hard Robin Thicke is slaying radio. He is currently in the top 5 radio hits of all time when it comes to peak audiences, and he is still getting 3-4 million updates.
Considering that all the other song in the top 10 came from the era in the mid 00's when Urban radio was vastly oversampled it is even more impressive. In all likelihood this is the largest radio hit of all time, beating out Mariah's We Belong Together. It should be close peak wise..... and Mariah benefited greatly from inflation back in the day.
Who woulda thought?

Oh, happy b-day Chris. I hope you get lots of dick pussy.
I'm surprised to hear this. lol, I knew he was doing well, but not that well. I imagine this will be his only hit from that album so he might as well slay while he has the chance.

Welcome back
And what exactly is the break down of the song's success? Is Youtube/streaming influencing this...or are we talking strictly radio?
Bank's Venus highlights the main issue I have with some of these dance songs and that is they let the drop take center stage in their song without them having any word through it. I know sometimes its unavoidable since the song belongs to a DJ like with Avicii's Wake Me Up or most of Calvin Harris' songs where they want to show that they are able to rehash the same drop we have been hearing for the past 2 years while adding their signature sound. Its probably why I like Clarity so much and that is because Foxes puts her chorus through the breakdown while it also incorporates chanting, its not just electronic bells and whistles for 30 seconds

Thanks!
Strictly radio. Though it is dominating the sales charts as well, and I wouldn't be surprised if it is among the best selling songs of all time as well when all is said and done. It has already blown past 3 million and is still pulling 300-400k a week.
Here is the top 10 of all time as of the 17th. Robin has added about 10 million since then.
Peak Audience, Title, Artist, Peak Date
212.1 million, "We Belong Together," Mariah Carey, July 9, 2005
196.3 million, "Irreplaceable," Beyonce, Jan. 20, 2007
192.5 million, "No One," Alicia Keys, Dec. 22, 2007
189.6 million, "Let Me Love You," Mario, Feb. 5, 2005
179 million, "Blurred Lines," Robin Thicke featuring Pharrell & T.I.
175.6 million, "Gold Digger," Kanye West featuring Jamie Foxx, Oct. 22, 2005
172.8 million, "Yeah!," Usher featuring Lil Jon & Ludacris, April 17, 2004
172.3 million, "My Boo," Usher and Alicia Keys, Nov. 20, 2004
171.4 million, "Be Without You," Mary J. Blige, April 1, 2006
170.2 million, "In Da Club," 50 Cent, March 29, 2003
Oh wow! The strangest thing about this is that the song had been out for so long before it actually picked up traction, and now it's like unstoppable!
Poor Mariah :-/
one song out of 40ish is accused of having a similar sound to the hag's and now apparently all of them do?
Your weak attempts to carry on this 2011 shade is coming off as desperate as Mariah's attempts to have a hit lead single before releasing a new album

I wasn't even coming for Gaga. I was just talking about the insecurity a stan of an older act might feel when they hear the music of someone who people claim is "replacing" their fave in the industry. I know that the imminent ARTPOP single has you froggy, but at least wait till August before you start jumping.

I am not convinced. I see a similar chart run to her first single.
Not convinced that radio is into that sound anymore.

They betta. Ariana's not at all coy about her inspiration, and she's a genuine fan.
Funny and humble too. So if anyone's worthy of carrying on the legacy of the whistle register in pop music, it's ha.
Ariana isnt pretending to be inspired by everyone but the most obvious so she's already good to go
Playing the snippet again yaaaaaaaaaaaaaasss
Bless. A young Queen in the making. ;__;
....ew
Inez has confirmed it's a shoot for V Magazine (see pic in HQ here)
Not sure if its the same album shoot though.
