Monsters also make up majority of the users there.

 

Didnt feel like it. There was a thread about Gaga opening up about her mental health and suicide and some of the responses were so vile. That's when I gave up going there.

Someone on R/pophead recommended it as a good place to discuss music. Lets just say I really dont agree with them.

It’s one of the worst places on the Internet. They don’t discuss music, they fight like rabid raccoons.

When do you think JD can go diamond? In 2-3 years? 

Not at all. JD's ain't pushing ~1,000,000 more units in only 2-3 years

No amount of sabotage from Spotify and that RAT Troy Carter, stopped her from becoming The Queen of Pop.

Call it was it was. Bradley and Ari charity.

Despite the new guidelines and warnings, certain members continue to post snide remarks about other members and artists. My posts were often meant to be ironic but have been intentionally misconstrued by other members repeatedly. In such cases, ignoring doesn't exactly solve the problem because I would be left open to such attacks and unable to defend myself. On top of that, some members often give the "thanks" and "yaas, gaga" reactions to these posts, which further promotes such behaviour. As a result, I will no longer be actively contributing to the charts thread, although I will be sticking around in other parts of this forum. Will definitely miss many members in here but this thread has gotten too negative for me and it is best that I no longer visit regularly.

TL;DR I will no longer be active in this thread. Bye for now to those from the good old times. 💓

2024/5 here we go

[Dean Judaster]

I'm willing to bet they finally realized the need to push JD so Gaga can finally get her third diamond cert especially now that Chromatica is slowing down and there are no viable choices left to keep the era afloat.

Sour Candy is BEGGING to get a video.

Like Godga you can't be that dumb to ignore it.

What's the point of collabing with Blackpink (clearly not talent) if not for those massive youtube views hihihi

this is so true

the first thing I thought when I saw she collabed with BLACKPINK was "we're getting another billion views video on Youtube"

I'm sorry but it's literally the only point of working with these (lovely) girls when you've restricted yourself to collaborating with legends your entire career

(I love blackpink and some of their songs but I can also recognize they're very generic and shallow musically)

Makes sense but what I dont understand is why do they think its more useful to push Jd than a new single from Chromatica or why are both things mutually exclusive. I want her to have 3 diamond singles in the long run ofc but her first single getting better numbers than her most recent songs doesnt bothers me to some extend 

Like i know its not that deep but idk

Not even on a completely new forum is enough for some clowns to catch a break. We will miss you and respect your decision

But they didn’t even push JD, it was automatically added to a throwback playlist right?

It's in a better position now in the 00s playlist. Which means the curation somehow was modified recently. Now we're not sure if her team was responsible but if they are, then good for them. Ms @Gypsy Life believes otherwise though. Won't be surprised since Bobby neglected to discount JD during SBHT, Coachella, etc.

Didn't know Spotify's automatic Time capsule playlist would serve for people to start random fanfiction.
