well, everything you pointed out is correct but to me the PAYOLA!!!!11111 argument is as tiring as the practice itself. blame the game, not the players. Dua's team is also accused of this to no end, mostly by pressed Chromatican't residents. what Positions should and qualifies to be dragged for is some of the lackluster material and Ariana having the audacity and the nerve to tack in 7 minutes of new material to an already desperately short album and call it a deluxe edition. she's a scammer.

Not only is one of the deluxe tracks a fucking interlude, the proper tracks are just barely longer than the fucking interlude. And they're all discardable? Sis really said scamming higher chart positions for you.

Not ISlayForX liking his own status posts below with his other account. Is having 2 accounts even allowed?

The payola is literally worse than during Sweetener era. When you look at the chart points literally 60% of it is airplay points. Positions and 34+35 are #1 and #2 on radio despite mediocre call-outs. Is it really necessary that the two most played songs are forgettable throwaway bops by the same artist? Does America not have more diversity? No wonder pop radio is losing audience in droves Her album is so heavily playlisted as well .. like wtf is test drive doing at #1 on Today's Top Hits? Positions and various versions of 34+35 have been on TTH and other high-reach playlists for MONTHS

Are the straights okay?

Wow, the first #FreeKesha rally was FIVE years ago today. Crazy how time flies.

Reported the dupe account

Girl was really like “let me give them few cute ringtones and call it a deluxe”

screaming at this i was just playing the new tracks and they all ended before any momentum built

Seems like judge @Wonho has instructed judge @Platinum Gold into giving away one-liners, but we approve it, while judge @SockBitch is glad we are moving away from this group of songs. Results: Who’s That Girls remains to be fully revealed at the next showdown ( against Causing a Commotion ), which this girl earns thanks to 12 votes, while 2 votes stop Can’t Stop from any more playing. Oh... Voting is for the song you want to keep competing.

Payola accusations are funny because it always comes from people who would like to have it for their fave. Blame the other girls management and label for not investing in their asset.

What's with the shitty re-releases lately? First Dua, now Ariana?

Results: God Knows I Tried has been the most recognized song of this group, which 8 votes testify. 24 got 12 times less votes - 2 barely staying safe, while Jump is jumping the game since 1 vote can’t sustain its further stay. Pick only one song to keep it in the game.

“You expect a new grandmother to fall in love with the baby — not the father” Idk why but this is too funny

who gave birth to the second child? the mom or the girlfriend?

i feel attacked

Yeah, midlife crisis' a bitch.

That's the funny thing, when they get old, they suddenly realise, I want fresh bloods

I mean, a bad relationship with fathers is quite common in the gay community afaik. Some of the younger guys maybe. But older straight dudes definitely creep on younger girls.

so by that logic gay people have daddy issues

Something tells me that isn't the first time she said that to him

@Madonna liking this as if he doesn't complain about Mariah and her payola every other thread

i don't get why someone would buy this edition. the deluxe tracks are literally unfinished.

@fab we know you'd be creaming your pants if Chromatica had that level of promo/payola. Don’t even try it! Also, let’s not act like there aren’t any other scamming methods such as bundles, multiple versions of the same album with different artwork to increase sales... The girlies are doing it all to be honest. Some just simply do it better and more effectively than others. Is Ariana’s Positions a lame album that got even WORSE with these new mediocre bonus tracks? Definitely. Is she still one of the biggest pop girls at the moment? Yes she is.

CAN MARIAH HURRY UP AND PUT "THERE FOR ME" ON STREAMING

No

Screaming @ this entire update page dragging ha. Deserved tbh

The deluxe tracks of positions have more fillers then my lips

People really will do anything for stream counts. huh

WEEK THREE Troye Sivan – Album Challenge

These two women deserve better

I erm.... And the English have the audacity to call the Scottish and Welsh the inbreds.

This is so messy ashjdkasld

What a friendship

This sounds like the plot to a terrible porno Rude!! I thought you two were friends?

The girlfriend obviously BabyMario teas. I don't think someone who's just gave birth can "run" off with someone.

It's...disgusting. Maybe they both watch too much porn.

such a blatant grab for streams. most of these could've been good songs if actually fleshed out into full pieces, not just 2 minute interludes

WTF is this? The pencil eyebrows, the fake tan? Serving Queen Elizabeth I in reverse. Glad she went the sophisticated route with B2B.

Not you trolling off of my joke She was not trying to be black. I think she was just trying to be a dark-skinned latina, which is not wrong since she is half Latina. It's like Ariana Grande, Mariah or Kim K trying to darken their skin, there are some people in their country of origin who has darker complexion. It's just that they are melanin-challenged.

I like wordt behaviour but the rest is literally filler

Do we all agree with this ? Cause I do.

I honestly think radio has to be included in the formula as it is indeed a form of music consumption. However, the weight it has on the formula should definitely be revised. I'd even go as far as saying that sales should have the hightest % of points. It is the ultimate statement of a person actually WANTING an artist music, radio should weigh more than streaming though...

Only her die hard fans and the basic success fans cannot see it. She peaked and peaked without having pop culture MOMENTS that make her an icon.

Nowhere near the star power and will most likely have no one calling her an inspiration or trying to replicate some of her albums.
