Pop Talk - General Music Discussion

Taylor has also discounted her discounted discounts to $0,39 - which is the lowest price you can charge in order for Billboard to still count those sales for their charts.

[aRat]

Yeah the race for number one is extremely close. Mariah is between 4 and 10 points ahead depending on which predictor you look at.

So Tayloo will prolly get it if she pulls out more discounts, payola and cheap tricks. It would be tragique if she doesn't get it despite all the desperation

Also I wish Duanal did the same to DSN when it was stuck at #2 by few points.

By the way this proves that her success is all organique since she had the chance to payola DSN to #1 but didn't do it.

Do you trust a cityrat like me or someone who lives in a remote conservative village in the south of Germany on that

One of them wasn’t even a rap song - more like emo R&B

You will not come for Corona Lockdown like that. An excellent bawp.



Also back when Kayne was hawt af and not a complete nutcase.

[theMathematician]

For whatever reason, 'I Want to Know What Love Is' peaked at No. 3 in Japan and is her 2nd highest peaking single there, only behind 'All I Want For Christmas...' (No. 2).

What?

Def feels like a #1 and is known and gets played a lot on TV / radio to this day

Sorry, I missed something there: I meant the popularity of those three rap songs in the US, not in Germany. 'Gold Digger' hasn't been a big hit in Germany and I don't even know whether any song by Kanye West had major impact here.

[Goldmoney]

Very unlikely. I think her musique is considered pop here

If this was still the 20th century, I’d agree with that. Kween has been making gutterat and emo R&B since I was barely starting to form sentences. This was a very rare exception from when she was trying to gain back her 90s Karen audience.

Her last top 40 hit in your hole.

And he would only ever have two top 10s in your hole as lead. One of them wasn’t even a rap song - more like emo R&B - and the other was whatever this was supposed to be.

[InFamous]

Is she still trying to debut at #1? The desperation. Lowkey makes me wanna root for Moo...

Also what is the point of debuting at #1 anyway only to fizzle out the chart in 5 weeks. All those extremely weak #1 - OUT debuts this year made the #1 position lose all its prestige.

[theMathematician]

Surprised about “Gold Digger” considering it only peaked at #35 in your hole. But either Rihab or aRatchet told me last year that it’s become something of a cult classik over there.

I’m trying to find out if GOAT topped your hole’s chocolate chart at least. Wiki doesn’t have an archive. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Black_Charts

Ok Taylor has officially lost the plot - she just dropped FOUR new videos on youtube, one for each mix of Willow with just a fire buring on screen.

Well, like 80% of all No. 1 singles are rap songs during the past few years. Those songs have no mainstream importance though. They are basically like album tracks by Drake. During the last 3 years, less than a handful actually were the equivalent of 'In Da Club', 'Gold Digger' or 'Love The Way You Lie' in terms of mainstream popularity.

When I visited Germany, it felt like I was back in Detroit. Rap seems huge there. Things changed on Thursday tho. That is when Berlin turned into a EDM-sex town on Thursday!

i would have never charted 50 cts on my chartparade. 50 nickles dragged Mariah bc he is team M&Ms. Boy talk about rape n stuff like that. we don't know who he is no more.

Nothing to do with Ursher but k sis.

[stevyy]

Yeah! wasn’t a #1 for 4 weeks in your hole vs. a cute #4?

Or are we talking about stevyy’s chartparade?

A bit of a Maria tea here... except for the Xmas Song

50 ct was bigger in Germany. Usher... never really caught on... except for his collabo with Miss Keys.

I only use Amazon Musique and Spotify

Spotify takes my coins. I never used amazon, even as a prime customer. my mum aka old people use it for their alexa.

edm is the worst kind of music. (well that and heavy metal).

German "rap" is not Rap. It's an abomination. We only have like 5 serious rappers who use the genre in an artful way... but 99,99999% is trash²

Btw, does anyone here use the friends feature on Apple Music? My mix is always trash because I only have like 3 real life friends who use it.
