Pop music is meh right now, according to the Wall Street Journal

Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa and Taylor Swift released hyped up albums earlier this year, but "Pop Girl Spring" has been lackluster, the WSJ reported

I maintain Beyonce would have done better with Jolene if she had kept the original lyrics. She ruined the heart of the song.

I am looking forward to Sabrina Carpenter's new album.

I think Beyoncé could have had multiple hits if she just released some fucking visuals. SOMETHING. I still hear II Most Wanted on the radio multiple times a day, but somehow it hasn’t performed well.

the contiued REFUSAL to release visuals is grating. renaissance deserved to be a visual album and a coffee table book and more.

she hasnt done shit to promote it in the traditional sense.
Its upsetting.
And you cant have a rational convo with Behive on twitter because they be like "SHE DOESNT NEED TO DO ANY PROMO. SHES BEYONCE."

Gurl, calm down, omg.

I wonder if she plans to release visuals for all the albums after Act 3. 🤔

pretty much the last several album cycles have let potential hits fall into fandom obscurity (when its a hit amongst fans, but doesnt really go outside that bubble, no matter how big it is).

Cuff It was reluctantly pushed as a single after it got big on Tik Tok. It probably would have just been left at Break My Soul otherwise.
