Lmao I can’t at the Straight pride parade in Boston I’m pretty sure quite a few of the “straight” married macho men there are gay and in the closet

Well surprise surprise that parade is full of rednecks and neckbeards, who would have thot?

It is a bit unconventional to celebrate a society's majority, but I would say: 'Live and let live!' - as long as they aren't planning to take any rights away from bi- or homosexual people.
The US majorities look like this at the moment: Republican, Christian, straight, Caucasian/white, salespeople, people in their late 30s. Would you mind if there was a pride for any of those features?

Good luck [MENTION=23802]JSparksFan[/MENTION]. I hope Dorian spares you all

Same. Good luck & stay safe hunties.

However, Mariah currently has the 27th biggest selling female album of 2019, Merry Christmas at 208,000 copies (Billboard Year). Surpassing Dupa Lupa at #28 with 189k. The shade is real..

Gworl what kinda chart is that?

[JSparksFan]

Good luck [MENTION=23802]JSparksFan[/MENTION]. I hope Dorian spares you all

Thanks!

Neither I, nor any of my family, live on the two islands that are on course to be directly hit by Dorian, but I really am hoping Grand Bahama and Abaco sustain minimal damage and that there aren't any casualties. I hope the same for Florida, too!

pre internet = 13,5 bn BC to 1993/4 AD

post internet = 1993/4 to 2019.

I got THE internet in 1998. Yass gurl, and Napster (1999-2000, RIP) was the greatest invention in all of humanity.

Yes grandpa

[cheapthrills]

Wait, what? I meant that on Spotify, they are ahead. I can't imagine Garth Brooks' fans stream much of him at all.

[stevyy]

Do we really want to look to Spotify for taste tho? I mean... Drake and Ed Sheeran are probably ahead of all of them.

Drake is the highest certified male recording artist in the United States.

Top 5:

01 - 227,940,000 - 209,940,000 singles - 18,000,000 albums - Drake
02 - 191,000,000 - 53,500,000 singles - 137,500,000 albums - Elvis Presley
03 - 173,000,000 - 121,000,000 singles - 52,000,000 albums - Eminem
04 - 145,300,000 - 56,000,000 singles - 84,000,000 albums - Michael Jackson
05 - 136,900,000 - zero certified singles - 136,000,000 albums - Garth Brooks

No dusty divas in sight, why?

because of selling albums... = more $$ = bigger / better = legends

I can't believe this. Acts that were in their prime before the internet was a thing, aren't blowing up on streaming? Say it ain't so. Let's make a list of physical album sales.

[LastDreamer]

Ukrainian girl groups >>> the rest (in the slutpop genre), all the male stereotypes come to full force + basically soft porn music videos.

Singing Pants are iconic and fun.

Ugh this iconic classic. I watched this when I was 14 or 15 and Ferris Bueller made me realise I was a ghey.

True classic. The 80s was a great time for this genre. (Matthew was a snack back then, to be sure).

Risky Business is another in a similar vein.

[heppolo]

Russian girlbands of the late 80s - 90s are something else though, producers had several sets of good looking girls as the same bands that have been lipsyncing simultaneously in several towns and cities to earn more cash. One of those bands even had a perfectly suitable name, "Mirage"

[LastDreamer]

The sound of Lithuanian pop is not far from popular British girl groups, so I admit that Girls Aloud/Spice Girls/Sugababes fans also can like something from my favourites.

[Colbie]

Lithuania also had slut pop group (Naujos Pupytes), but I prefer more conservative groups like YVA, Studentes (Mokinukes), Mango and many others.

Some classics of Lithuanian pop :

[MENTION=38563]Colbie[/MENTION], K-Pop is not for everybody.

I know sweetie, i was just kidding. I know kpop isnt for everyone, just like Lithuanian groups arent for everyone. But i felt like becouse other people are advocating for Dua, Mariah, Kylie and others i may advocate for kpop, just like you are advocating for Lithuanian groups! ;-)

I know you're probably not very good at understanding words, thence your music taste, but I assumed that even you would get the gist of it.

Gimme the name of your teachers, I need to call them and inform them how they've failed you.

I know sweaty, that's why I said pro gun TROLLING

Reading comprehension is key.
